NEW UNIFORMS ON THE WAY
The Bad Boys of the ArcticThe team formed as a combination of players from the Riverland district in South Australia, the Alice Springs side, and a couple from Mount Isa who were playing for the Darwin side who all hit it off after playing against each other at the Alice Springs Masters. The team was originally called "Rivisa Springs", being a combination of Riverland, Isa, and Alice Springs. The first tournament played as a team was at the Adelaide Masters games in 2007 where we should have won the division but due to a scoring technicality didn't. Whilst in Adelaide with a few Coopers Darkies down his throat, one of the members was looking at a poster of a polar bear laying on his back, when he was hit by a brainwave that resulted in the team becoming the Rivisa Springs Polar Bears. It was later decided to drop the Rivisa Springs part of the name, partly due to the confusion it caused administrators and team members, but also because there was a good sprinkling of Mildura boys in the team that were getting a bit sooky about being left off the name. The team has grown to include members from Mt Isa, Riverland, Mildura, Alice Springs, Adelaide and Cairns. Office Bearers:CEO - Ferg Be afraid, very, very afraid! |
