This game is handled.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
It's Cory's Little Cory's Little League made possible by Construction Pathways.
There's never been a better time for a career in
construction search Construction Pathways.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Cory's planned to bring the fun back to rugby league
absolutely happened on Thursday with a bunch of eleven twelve
year olds out Davis on Sundays. Sorry, you're having the
time of our lives.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Is your daughter's birthday too? That's right?
Speaker 4 (01:03):
It was a big day. Yes, there was a lot
on and and Tajaw pump up Boy, I mean, what
about what about the pump buppy before the game?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
The sidelight running.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
He was on.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
And it was such a cumbination of weeks and weeks
of trying to find kids that wanted to play rugby
league just for fun. It was tag. It was oz
tag for sort of eleven and twelve year olds. And
during that process we kind of got nailed a little
bit by someone saying to us that what about the
kids that their parents might not be able to nominate them,
(01:43):
or that they are just falling through the cracks and
they would want to be a part of it. So
we went okay, fair enough, and we got a call
from a youth worker by the name of Vanessa from
Jim Boomber and she's back with us. Hey, Vanessa, morning, Vanessa.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
You suggested and nominated Jackson, who had fallen out of
love with the game he used to play when he
was a kid. He stopped playing for for a number
of reasons. And can I Jackson stood out. He was
stared out on the day. What a great kid he is.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It was just it was also he actually just came
up to me straight away and said he it comes
out of low and I was I was so impressed
and straight away from him. So how did he go?
Speaker 5 (02:27):
He loved it.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
He loved it.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
So in the beginning he was quite shy. He sit
at the back of all the photos and had the
banner and stuff. I'm not sure if you noticed, but
by the end of the day he was something front
and center of all the photos, just doing interviews.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Loved it.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah, so you were there. I didn't realize that because
I know his mom was there, but you're amazing. You
came to just make sure he was okay as a
youth worker.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yeah, I just wanted to support him, and yeah, I
know that I'm there if he needed anything. Well, you know,
he had his family, had a lot of his family
turned up, which is amazing. Yeah, I just wanted to
be there to support him.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I kind of loved that.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I didn't know you were there.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
And so did we achieve what we set out to?
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Absolutely? Yes, So like his confidence and self esteem on
the day through the roof in the sea, and just
even his social status because there were kids there that
didn't know he was on the team that he met
in society and they come up like, how did you
get on the team? Oh? Really a little fellow of
the social status?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Oh cool?
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Yeah, which is confidence.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I hope it's showing that again. Like it was not
tackle that he wants to do. So many kids love
that game.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
It's rowing so much.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I was tagging. I think it's something that a lot
of the kids need to look at now.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
So well, thank you very much. Yes, thanks for nominating Jackson.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Thank you for the opportunity.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
It was a great part to the day.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Now there was also some some controversy today.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Well, yes, because and also what we need to say
is Kayla is Savannah's mum, and Savannah was pulled in
at the last minute because we lost one of our
players twins, and she like, yeah, she she she came
on board and I was pretty nervous. But also she
came in with an injury.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (04:18):
She did? She hurt her foot? Well, we actually think
she might have done it last year when she went
to Charli will for a football competition, but it just
niggled every now and then, and she didn't say that
it was really hurting that morning.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So yeah, but she was. She definitely had like a
little bit of limp you see, got worse as the
game went on, but she was. She was.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, she was tracking on and I did say to
her halftime, look if it gets too sore, just let
me know. I'll fill in for you. I'll come in.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Did she enjoy it?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
She did.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
She's here in next to me now. She hasn't liked
a smile off her face since she's She said to
me on the day, I didn't run and do as
many passes. I said that you had fun, and she said, yeah,
I said, well, that's what it's about. You don't have
to get in there and do everything. It was about
having fun and that's what happened.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
And what a care of young girls, did you know?
Savannah also brought a present for Siena, my one year old. Yeah,
beautiful Shenah.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Ye, it's better than the drug. My good friends giving
me the drug.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Thank you. Yeah, she loved that.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
We should also say that something else fantastic has come
out of your involvement with Corey's little leg Savannah.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Oh she's gone quiet, she's so short.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
My friendship with Addison, yeah the.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Twelfth Oh yeah, yeah, made a new friend, Yeah she did.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
She spent pretty much most of the day with Addison.
Addison's mum took a lot of photos them together which
she can look back on. And Savannah is actually playing
Addison's older sister in a couple of weeks in club football.
Sore again.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Then nice, great and thank you, Kayla, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Everyone's some of the players that are a lot more
confident and skilled really show you know, their skills, and
then the other players that didn't have the confidence but
love playing the game. And I kind of challenged some
of the boys in my team at halftime to to really,
you know, ship not not ship. Yeah, shared the ball around,
(06:29):
but do more skilled pass the ball a bit more shared,
like get everyone else to enjoy the experience just as
much as them. And yeah, I sort of noticed at
the first half there were kids on the edges not
not sort of going in because I just wanted to
let everyone else. So, yeah, there's about four boys at
half time that I just had a quick word to
what can you do in the second half? Run more
(06:49):
a bit better class and are more support more be
more tall, be quite out there? Did be quite out there?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
What do you reckon?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, yeah, that's a bit more support.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Is it hot?
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Is it warm out there? Yeah, you're tired. Yeah, there's
a lot of running going and.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, and there's about four of them there at the time,
And and I just noticed there was one boy that really,
you know, took that on board that they actually they
all did to their credit, they really did, but there
was one boy that they took it on board and
he actually was that dummy half a lot of time
and running around and sharing the ball around of the
kid to the kids that weren't as confident and didn't
(07:25):
have the confidence going there and demand the call for
the ball. And that's why I gave rock O my
PM's medal, like the player of that, like just the
guy that stood out who really wanted to, you know,
everyone to have the same enjoyment that he did. And
and in doing that, it showed the kids that it
actually was more fun. It was a lot more entertaining
(07:46):
the second half because they were the ball was shitting
shared around, it was spreading more and.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
We joked about it, but we no one knew the
score at the end because it actually just didn't matter.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
It just didn't matter, and it was I mean, it
was funny that no one knew the still, but it
was so people were so engaged in watching the kids
and the second half was electric.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
That was and and that's and that was the other
part that one of the boys and the girls too
to realize, was not you not just having a great
time is the best thing that in the game. Sometimes
if you can share it around and let everyone else
have the same experience and enjoy that you have, it
(08:24):
actually makes it a lot more enjoyable all round, and
it is more entertaining, and then everyone can have as
much fun, and yeah, I actually believe they actually had.
They learned a lot of things on the day, and
I was really happy at in the day to sort
of see the smile and see what they learned. And yeah,
I was really happy to give rock O my medal.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Yes, and the Prime Minister, of course, was unable to
award it himself, although he did talk about it. But
he's meeting Trump as we speak.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Actually, yeah, so when we spoke to him and asked
him if he'd be a part of it, he said, yes,
I'll do the best in fairest medals. So when we
say the Prime ministers it is, it.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Really is yes. But instead he's shaking hands with a
little orange man and find out how that goes. No
doubt the news tonight, eh,
