Another chapter begins

Yes, she is playing for Hamburg! This photo was taken at a tournament in Cologne, Germany last weekend.
Most of the support group have returned home this week, after extended holidays in Europe after the gold medal game.
Bridie, however, had a brief sojourn at home in Brisbane before taking off to play basketball in Germany for six months, in response to a gracious invitation from the German coach!
Hopefully she will get learn a bit about their game whilst she is there, so we will get some tips on clinching the gold from them in Rio in 2016!
Thanks to all our/her supporters and your fantastic enthusiasm over the past weeks.
It has been an amazing journey for all of us. The Paralympics are such a celebration of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.We had an amazing time, never to be forgotten.
Until 2016..... So long.
