In 2015, self-government was abolished by the federal government, “to address issues of sustainability”, including financial difficulties, that had arisen. Nothing might have changed on the sporting front, but politically much has changed in recent years – making Commonwealth Games participation even more symbolically important for Norfolk Islanders. Norfolk Island bowling team member Carmen Anderson at a monument to mark the Women’s World Lawn Bowls Championships. “We’ve been in the Games before as an external territory of Australia – nothing has changed, it has remained the same.” “We’re part of the 72 Commonwealth nations,” she says. The island has competed at every Games since and won two bronze medals the appearance in Birmingham is the island’s 10th Games. “Norfolk Island has participated in the Commonwealth Games since 1986,” explains the team’s chef de mission Sheryl Yelavich, an administrator at the local hospital. Hence Norfolk Island joined the likes of the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Saint Helena, Turks and Caicos, Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man and Niue during the opening ceremony in Birmingham last week. This unusual status allows it to compete in the Commonwealth Games – which, unlike the Olympics, permit participation from certain non-state territories. In 1979 the islanders were granted limited self-government by federal authorities, with an elected assembly responsible for governance of Norfolk. Usually, one team qualifies from each regional, but because there is no international division this year because of COVID restrictions, the top two teams will advance.Ĭontact reporter Mark Anderson at Follow on Twitter.Norfolk was governed from New South Wales for decades, and formally incorporated into Australia in 1913.

Summerlin South, which represents Nevada, is trying to play for a spot in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Amsden led the team, going 3 for 3 with two runs scored.
Summerlin, which trailed 6-5 entering the sixth inning, tied the game when Stone Amsden scored when Alec Kajoika reached base on an error. The Hawaii’s Zach Bagoyo scored the winning run with two outs and the bases loaded. But those who tested positive before the tournament will not be retested. All others are tested when they arrive for the regional, and those who are unvaccinated are tested every other day. Those who test positive are required to sit out for 10 days.
Hutton said the players in question “will join the team as we advance.” The positive tests occurred sometime after Summerlin South won the state championship July 25 and the start of the regional. After contact tracing was conducted, the league determined Summerlin South was able to play.
Little League Baseball made the announcement earlier Monday, saying its regional web page that Summerlin South reported the positive tests. “Next man up mentality,” Hutton texted before playing Hawaii. Summerlin South had 10 players for the game in San Bernardino, California - the minimum allowed - in a contest won by Hawaii-Honolulu, 7-6, on wild pitch in the bottom of the sixth inning.īecause Little League rules dictate only two coaches are allowed if the roster number drops below 12, Summerlin South also lost an assistant. Three Summerlin South players were placed in COVID-19 protocol and did not play in Monday’s Little League baseball West Region opener against Hawaii, coach Todd Hutton said. Summerlin South won the Nevada state Little League baseball championship.
