Riders prepare to get in the saddle for Mullewa Polocrosse Carnival

Riders and their steeds will battle it out in the dirt as the Mullewa Polocrosse Carnival gets underway this weekend. Beginning Friday, it will kick off a full weekend of polocrosse actions concluding on Monday. Foothills took out the recent Irwin Carnival held in the final weekend of July, beating South Midlands in the A-grade finals with Mandalay ridden by Bryce Scott. Greenough, with the help of Beckett ridden by Andrew O’Dwyer, won the B-grade with Moonyoonooka winning C-grade as Shiraz, ridden by Hayley Levet, was awarded best pony. Irwin won their home cup in the D-grade while an all-Walkaway final saw section two beat their interclub rivals in the E-grade final.
