Team list announced

After a gruelling selection procedure, the ASS selectors have announced the following team to represent Australia at Dunoon:

First team (have booked travel):
Males:
Barry, T
Cahill, M
Fogarty, P
McLaren, C
Tse, J

Females:
Cahill, A
Carew, J
Carew, J (this could be a problem for team jerseys!)

Labruyere, R
McEwen, M
McKendrick, E

Support Staff (have booked travel but don't want to play - boo!):
Nixon, S

Reserves (might still make it):
Gligora, C



Football pundits have questioned the selection of such a young, inexperienced team. The selection committee stated that decisions were based solely on skill and fitness, wanting to choose a team that could achieve success at Dunoon, and continue to build on it in the future. The committee responded that the recent allegations of bribery and nepotism were completely unfounded.



Despite security fears, Prime Minister John Howard has given the team the all clear to travel to Scotland to compete.
