Two Australian league teams forced the closure of the bar on a Waiheke Island ferry after devouring most of the food sold on board.The Australian men's and women's league teams visited Waiheke Island yesterday and on their return to Auckland they forced the closure of the Fullers ferry bar.A fellow ferry passenger told the Herald the teams ordered so much food from the ferry's bar that the captain was forced to cease liquor sales because food must be served with alcohol."The captain had to shut the bar and there was no more food
left... there was a few disgruntled people coming back from a lovely day on this island."The passenger said the ferry was forced to close its bar under alcohol licence conditions, angering other ferry passengers who had to go dry for the trip.He added that the Australian sportsmen and women were very well behaved.A spokesman from the Australian Kangaroos confirmed both the men's and women's teams had been on Waiheke Island for the day.Both teams visited a local winery and even took a tour around the island before departing for Auckland about 5.30pm, he said.The women's team, known as the Jillaroos, head away today following their 26-24 win over the Kiwi Ferns on Saturday before the men played afterwards.
