Spell bound by Origin

WHEN DJ Ives watched his first State of Origin match after moving to Australia, he knew rugby league was the sport for him.
The American-born Ives signed on with the West’s Panthers and his love for the game has only strengthened.
``When I first came out here I watched a State of Origin match and thought I’d start playing,’’ he said.
``League is the first contact sport I have played and I just love the thrill of running and scoring.’’
Now his younger sister Maive has also caught league fever and will this year line up for the under-7s in her debut season.
``She also just liked rugby league and now she is playing in the under-7s.’’
As for a favourite team.
``The Cowboys.’’
And that is definitely North Queensland, not Dallas.
Meanwhile the Panthers are still chasing boys and girls who are born in 1999 for the under-10s age group.
The club has too many players for one team but not enough for a second.
Anyone interested should contact Glenn on 0408 454 899.
