| Dirty play at Swamp Soccer tournament
"There is a huge appetite to try out new things and I think that's why Swamp Soccer is able to capture the imagination of people. "The basic rules of football also apply to Swamp Soccer with the exception that matches are played in thick mud with six players on an oversized five-a-side pitch. "It's probably one of the only sports in the world where the worse the conditions are the better the sporting spectacle!" There is no offside in Swamp Soccer while kick-offs, throw-ins, corner kicks, free kicks and penalties are taken by using the hands to drop the ball onto a chosen foot. Teams are also allowed to make unlimited substitutions although no shoe changing is allowed for the match duration. Miller believes that the oft-used quote that the state of a pitch can bridge the gap between two unevenly match teams is even more applicable with Swamp Soccer.
Mark 'The Ear' Oberhardt gives the lowdown on sport
And it isn't just league as local Aussie rules and soccer (which, like league, are semi-professional) report crowds are at best holding. Meanwhile, reader "P B" agreed Brisbane schoolboy rugby games drew 5000 to 10,000 but also pointed out it was a similar case in Sydney. FOLLOWING several recent The Ear stories about TAB agents the mailbox overflowed with praise for them. But we really liked these two stories. The first regarded the collapse of a patron where the agent performed CPR for a long period until a medical team arrived. But our winner was when a senior punter experienced a wardrobe malfunction and he needed the agent to hold "personal items" while his trousers were removed to extract a wallet that was "cast" during an exciting moment! ALSO in the mail was a nice story from a Logan dad whose daughter plays softball and is fundraising for the rep season.
