Calling all Australian marmalade-makers

Australia wins the MarmalAshes, again - "thrashes" England

In a news report straight from the 2012 International Marmalade Awards in Cumbria, the Australian XI "thrashed" the England XI with the scores 189 to 131. This is a pleasing result - to beat England in England at something else they claim to have invented (besides cricket!) is always worthwhile - and two years in a row.

The Australian XI, a team of 11 home-made marmalades plus 12th jar, toured to Cumbria up against the England XI after being selected at the Buninyong Marvellous Marmalade Fair. Jar of the Match (best from both teams) at this international event was awarded to Genevieve Schwarze of Glenroy in Melbourne for her Lime marmalade.
