Our girls face Asia’s best

TIME is ticking away quickly before Pakenham Floorball Club becomes the spotlight of the floorball world.
The club will host the best of the Asia Pacific’s female teams for the Women’s World Floorball Championships Qualifications this month.
The Asia Pacific tournament qualifiers, running from 23-25 January at Pakenham’s Cardinia Life, will see Team Australia vie against Japan, Singapore and New Zealand for a chance to book a spot in the World Cup later this year.
The Squishees have three club members in the Australian team – Kayleigh Tribe, Freya Carson and Ash Bourke – who will fight their hardest to qualify for the World Cup in Tampere, Finland, this December.
The three best teams of the four will qualify for the international tournament with Australia’s matches scheduled for 3.15pm Friday (Japan), 3pm Saturday (New Zealand) and 3.15pm Sunday (Singapore).
