Open Age - 4 Hand - Girls
We have skipped the U16 two hands for programming reasons and are dancing the open age four hand girls. Then the two hands will be danced prior to the OA 4 Hand mixed.

Canteen update...
The mandatory canteen is out of hot food and sandwiches. There are over 500 people in the hall and environs and the regulations, now enforced by uniformed council staff, now leave us in the situation where they have no food to sell and will berate you if try to bring in food for athletes who are performing at State level.
Please do not abuse the serving staff, they did not make the rules. However, feel free to email or write to the council and let them know your opinion.

3 Hand Under 13 Girls
Well it is just finishing up now and was a lovely section, real hair made a pretty comeback, a little Spanish crept into another number (obviously harking back to remnants the Armada being wrecked on the west coast of Ireland in the 16th century.) O wait another entry, that makes 11 entries.
Today's live commentary team
Returning to the commentary box by popular request, someone who actually knows something about Irish Dancing and can provide useful and meaningful comments. And also Amanda Finneran.
The hall is packed!
Under 11 four hand mixed are now dancing, six teams in this section, and a big round of applause and cheers for each team as they finish.
Good morning and welcome to Sunday at the NSW Championships - Teams Day!
The hall is positively abuzz with excitement, wigs and frocks everywhere and teams practising all their steps up and down all the open spaces. The hall and foyer is a riot of colour and flashing feet!
It is a cool morning in Sydney, with strong winds overnight clearing the cloud and dropping the temperatures. One can see the mountains and southern highlands clearly - and almost all the way to Canberra (hope your car is better, Sophie).
Sean O'Brien is here and ready - do you know he has a new CD available for purchase? "Next in Line" is available for purchase here and Sean will be one of the musicians at this years Nationals.
