Have you heard of Bocce? If you haven’t that’s okay, in 2017 a group of novice colleagues entered the Australian Masters Games, with little idea of what to expect.
Spencer Gibbs, who came runner up in the last Masters Games, couldn’t believe his luck.
“Out of all the sports on offer, I thought Bocce would be exciting because it was something new,” Gibbs said.
“I had heard about Bocce, I grew up playing it on the beach, but obviously that all changes in a competitive space.”
Gibbs signed up to the 2017 Games with his boss Brett Smith, without any expectation about how they might go. As it turned out, they walked away as medalists.
