    Great season, Awesome memories!

    Hi Champs!

    I just wanted to thank each and every one of you for allowing me to be part of this historic season!  

    We finished off the season in perfect Hippo style.  I am so proud of everyone's efforts this season not only on the field but how you've all become so close and how you all look out for one another.  I think that's more important than winning...

    This is a season where in a few years time you'll bump into another Hippo after not having seen them for ages, you'll start chatting as if no time has gone by at all and you'll talk about "that year when we won everything!"  

    Thanks also for the grey hairs, 4 Mad Mondays which have shortened my lifespan considerably : )  and the great gift you guys gave Madz and I.

    You're all nutcases but I wouldn't change that for anything...  

    Proud (and a little weepy) Coach Paolo - Half of the most successful coaching partnership in Illawarra Women's Soccer History!  

    P.S.  You won't win it all again next year!

    Womens soccer is in big trouble if you guys are the best in the country . I saw you guys play 3 weeks and you were shocking . Some girls in the team have a football brain but the rest just kick and hope for the best.

    Hey guys,

    who would of thought that when we started this season not

    only would we dominate but all become great friends!!

    Just thought i would thank you guys for giving me such a

    great season..and after a bit of a bad start on my behalf

    (you know not turning up to training, not enjoying

    myself)..who would of thought i would end up having the best

    fun i ever could have playing soccer. However not just on

    the soccer field but all the social outings we had during

    the year..and yes i think i can almost handle my alcohol

    now!!! well almost..


    and elisha im glad i could be part of your last season with

    the hippos..not to mention the best captain eva and manager

    and friend and well you get the picture...

    and the rest of the hippos, that applies to you to..you guys

    really did rock!!!


    and thanx to paolo and madz for coaching us, im sure we

    couldnt of got through the season without you guys...

    Looking foward to playing with you hippos next year and not

    to mention the hard core partying that goes on with the

    Hippos

    Thanks for the memories!

    Very proud Coach Madz



    Too many champions...

    well ladies, i'm sitting in my little room here in a house

    that's about to fall apart and with the closing of such a

    phenomenal season there are a few things that must be said..

    first of, thank you guys for the best birthday present - not

    only the awesome boxers, thongs and wife beater (all of which

    i am coincidentally sporting right at this very instant) but

    for such a great game. even though we didn't have a 'great

    pitch' or 'good weather' as you all know i was hoping for, we

    pulled through when it counted the most and smashed those

    little riverstone biatch faces and finished our season the

    way it was meant to be done.

    second of all, i had the most amazing weekend partying it up

    and i woke up this morning to some of the most horrible news

    i've had to bear in a long time; a good friend of mine from

    highschool passed away this morning. thus i am in a 'weepy'

    mood (as sal would say about her experience at bluenote) and

    wanting to tell you all how great you have made my year thus

    far in australia. it's hard to be this far away from home

    and everything you know, as many of you who have travelled

    can attest to; but you have all given me something so special

    here that it makes going home almost harder than leaving in

    the first place. you have taken me in as a stranger and made

    me feel like i've spent a lifetime with you guys; you have

    all given me something to cherish and that's something that i

    value most highly in life. i am so tremendously proud to be

    part of the spirit of the hippos, some might even say we are

    the pride of the illawara...either way, i just want each and

    everyone of you to know i thank you for taking my little

    lonesome self into your team and letting me share some of the

    best memories of australia i have. you were all champions of

    champions in my mind even before sunday's game started...

    so thanks again girls, it's been the ride of my life... and

    i'm looking to many more great memories with you skanky

    bitches..

    and you know i gotta end it off with a big,

    LUV YOU FO EVA, YOU KNOW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    reg

    -the little weepy canadian...

    and ps- i forgot to mention...is anyone interested in a

    little head?..love that card..haha

    Hey Guys,

    Thankyou so much for the awesome season we have had. I feel
    very privlaged to have been a part of this amazing side. I
    have made lots of friends with you guys and i could not have
    asked for a better side. Thanks to Madz and Paolo as they did
    a tremendous job with us.
    I hope to see almost everyone next year as i am too keen to
    play with the Uni Hippo side again. Ill try not to fall in
    any fires next year and ill also TRY and make it out after a
    party and not pass out before i get the chance.
    Well i spose i will catch you guys next year.
    Luv Tash


    Hi Elisha

    Well done to you and your team for a tremendous win yesterday, Uni Hippos have done not only the IWSA proud, but the whole Illawarra.

    Congratulations again

    Have one for me!!!!!
