Hi
I am Zenobia Dollimore. I play for the Kenmore Under 10s gold team. Last week my coach Simon asked if I would be the mascot for the Western Districts Magpies team for the match against the Brisbane Lions reserve team on Sunday (2 May) at Sherwood Oval. I said yes please and was really excited about it. Anthony from the Magpies rang my Dad and told him what I had to do. On Sunday I went to the oval and Anthony showed me around the team room and told me what the team did in preparation for the match.
We went out to the practice oval with the team for the players to warm up before the match. while they did that I kicked some goals with the big football with my Dad and Anthony. Their ball is bigger and harder than the balls we play with but it was okay to kick though my Dad looked pretty rusty.
Then it was time for the match. I led the team out and ran around the oval for one lap with them but they were a bit too fast so I went back and joined the rest of my team who were there to play at half time.
I thought I was going to be a lucky mascot when the Magpies kicked the first goal but unfortunately it didn't last as the Lions were too strong after that.
I enjoyed being the mascot and would like to thank the Magpies for inviting me and giving me the experience.
