Cheer for Helen!



Cheer for Helen!

Helen Housby  
Sydney's Rose  leaves
defence in a quandary
Stems their advance
a Thorn in their side
She darts flys spins she
glides
Her blonde locks a
geldings mane it ribbons behind her trotting
the Fastlane

She fires a feeder to
Wallace who rings it
This threatening pair
BouncepaSS sneaking
through Goal Defence
legs This time Wallace
feeds Housby     the
Ball threads the eye
of the net
❗Helen Housby❗❗
❗❗Helen Housby❗
Leading with Wallace in
