1985 unknown heat: Newcastle Stealers
Newcastle
Pic Pic Pic Pic Pic Pic Pic Pic Pic Pic Pic Pic
This team was led by the Rankin twins who participated in IAK as
if it was the Olympics. Hey guys! It aint Sydney 2000! Vince Duffy
also made memorable cameo appearances in events such as "Ring the
Bell". David Rankin's sportsmanlike behaviour was exemplary
throughout, especially at the end of the "Telephone Call" event,
where upon finishing third, proceeded to chuck his phone in rage.
Don't worry, Dave, it's not the end of the world.
Captain: David Rankin
Vice-Captain: Philip Rankin
Other team members: Vince "Vin Stuffy" Duffy (doctor), Therese Brown, Virginia Rowe, Donna Richardson
Orange
Orange was probably one of the most unlucky teams in the IAK
series. Constantly being placed in heats against the Nareen
Juggernaut (e.g. Chariot Race) proved to be a major hurdle. Shocking luck in other events such as Sheep Dipping, where Michael Cornish fell down (MPEG download coming soon), forced Orange to play second fiddle to Nareen (Vic.). Tip: Don't use your joker against Nareen in a heat.
Captain: Pamela Stanford/Michael Cornish (sub)
Vice-Captain: Chris Fuller
Other team members: Lesina Tasi
Temora

Temora was the first IAK team to be led by a woman. This team was involoved in the infamous "Noah's Knockout" incident, in which Portland's Derek van Veldhuisen was tragically put out of action for the remainder of the season.
Captain: Lorraine Reid (Book Keeper)

Hawkesbury
Hawkesbury (Michael Jordan) always dominated in big pool events, such as "Spin Out" and "Ski Slalom", in which he proceeded in soundly beating Alan Grant (Wodonga, Vic) in the heat after Grant fell in the water twice. In the final Jordan thrashed Jim Walsh, Captain of Maroochydore, to bring up a joker win. Jordan also taught Sam Daniels, Captain of Box Hill, a "Spin Out" lesson. After all of this we would like to plug his band, for which he is the drummer -- "Thunderbox".
Captain: Michael Jordan (tae-kwon-do black belt and kickboxing
expert, not to be confused with the lesser-known basketballer)

Sydney City
A focussed group of P.E. students from Sydney Uni, this team loved themselves (although not to the legendary extent of Newcastle). Team captain 'Bindy' was heard to say of her team "[they are] generally wonderful people". Quite a skilful and earnest team... reminds me of my three days at Sydney Uni.
Captain: Belinda 'Bindy' Sheil
Vice-Captain: Chris Day
Other team members: Kevin Martin, Wendy van Kesteren
