Sporting allegiance

It's impossible to escape sport in this country and, after a while, you get to think that maybe it would be OK to at least notionally support a team or two. These are my allegiances. The oldest is to Hawthorn. I remember sitting as a little boy on my grandfather's veranda, listening with my grandfather and uncle to a radio broadcast of a Hawthorn game. I think it may have been the first semi-final of the 1957 season, when Hawthorn 10-11-71 defeated Carlton 6-12-48 on 31 August. As I was born close to Hawthorn, I decided to be a supporter! But I don't think I ever got to go to a game, as we lived a very long way from the city.

There are so many competitions; most interesting are cricket and soccer (international football).

	The Hawks (Australian Football League)
	Sydney FC (A League soccer.)
	The ACT Brumbies (Super 14 rugby)
	Melbourne Storm (National Rugby League)
	Canberra Capitals (Womens National Basketball League)
	The Australian Cricket team
	The Socceroos
	The Kookaburras and the Hockeyroos.
