On 26 March 2015, the Governor-General of Australia, the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove made a fleeting visit to Guangzhou on official Australian Government business. After hearing about the development of AFL in Southern China, particularly through the great work of the Guangzhou Scorpions, Sir Cosgrove ensured he put time aside in his busy schedule to meet the leadership and management group for the Guangzhou Scorpions Australian Rules Football club.
现任澳大利亚总督，尊敬的彼得.科斯格罗夫阁下，于2015年3月26日代表澳洲政府访问中国，并在广州出席了一场简短的活动。在听完了关于广州蝎子俱乐部在华南地区对澳式足球的推广与发展后，科斯格罗夫阁下于百忙之中抽空与广州蝎子澳式足球俱乐部的领导与管理层进行了会面。
Before meeting Sir Cosgrove, one Scorpions player was quoted “I am so excited, I couldn’t sleep last night. This is unbelievable.”
在和科斯格罗夫阁下见面之前，一名蝎子队球员说：“我太兴奋了，昨天晚上都睡不着，简直不敢相信。”

Sir Cosgrove pledged his full support to the Guangzhou Scorpions and said he was looking forward to one day seeing a Chinese player from Guangzhou playing in the AFL.
在这场别开生面的“饮茶”活动中，科斯格罗夫阁下在他的开场致辞中表示，中国球员对澳式足球的投入和广州蝎子澳式足球俱乐部管理层在华南地区对澳式足球的推广给他留下了非常深刻的印象。科斯格罗夫阁下承诺他将全力支持广州蝎子俱乐部并且希望有朝一日能够见到有来自广州的中国球员加入到AFL中.
The Scorpions players had the opportunity to chat with Sir Cosgrove about their experiences with AFL in China and their recent trip to Australia for the IC14.
蝎子队球员有幸能与科斯格罗夫阁下交流，并向他汇报自身在中国打澳式足球的经验以及前不久前往澳大利亚参加2014年国际杯的经历。
Sir Cosgrove paid special tribute to all the sponsors of the Guangzhou Scorpions and noted that without their generous support, the great game of AFL in China would not be possible.
科斯格罗夫阁下向所有广州蝎子俱乐部的赞助商表示敬意，并说明如果缺少了他们的慷慨帮助，澳式足球这项运动在中国不可能有任何的发展。
