Despite
the weather, seven teams competed for the HMAS Stirling 2003 Soccer
Knockout Competition.
Defending champion Perth Police was back to defend its title along
with 2001 winner Bunbury Police and the Fire and Emergency Services
(FESA) also represented.
The day was well contested with some impressive soccer skills
on display from many teams.
Perth and Bunbury Police showed early they were hungry to take
home the honour of winning the trophy, however HMAS Westralia
and the All Stars were also keen to have their names engraved
for 2003.
The final was contested between Perth Police and Bunbury Police
in a very even and entertaining match. Perth Police held out the
Bunbury boys to win 2-0 and defend their title.
CMDR Alexander (then CO Westralia) presented the winning team
with the trophy and was also called upon to present the winning
Navy team trophy to HMAS Westralia.
