Footscray crokinole club
Katie HALL (Footscray) (10:03): We do not do things by halves in Footscray, particularly when it comes to niche sports. I am delighted to inform the Parliament that Footscray is now home to Australia’s, and in fact the Southern Hemisphere’s, largest crokinole club. Last week they had 53 people participate in their crokinole tournament out the back of Domenico’s pizza – good pizza, member for Sunbury – and I am really proud that this club has evolved very organically in Footscray. Crokinole, for the uninitiated, is based on the sport of curling. It is a board game from Canada. Congratulations to Alex and Des, who have started the club and have created this amazing little community in Footscray.
