By Sally MacLeod The Avenue Inn kindly sponsored last Wednesday’s 5 th Monthly Medal, NGC Spoons and Veteran’s Trophy competition. The vouchers were very generous and we thank them for their continuing support of our ladies competition.

Bridge: Counting Losers
by John Elliott There are times when the High Card Points alone just don’t tell you what you need to know, and this is one of them. South was aware of the power of distributional hands and this one, with 10 HCP and a singleton presented an opportunity. After counting their HCP, both North and […]
Opinion: Bush Turkey
I couldn’t think about what to write about this week, so I went with my favourite subject – the best teams I’ve seen in the KNTFL. Actually I think my favourite topic would be the favourite players I’ve seen in the KNTFL, but we’ll go with this one at the moment. I’ve been watching the […]

KNTNA Junior report – Round 14
By Georgia Gill In Focus – Division Two Fifth placed Kyby faced seventh placed Penola with Kyby asserting their authority early as a team wanting to play finals.

KNTNA A Grade Match Reports
By Sally Bywater Naracoorte v Keith An evenly contested first quarter saw Naracoorte take a two goal lead into the first break, 14-12. Lovely shooting from Emily Richardson saw Keith take the lead at half time by one goal, 25-24. Tight defence from Sophie Henschke (Naracoorte) and great driving from Belinda Sinclair (Naracoorte) wasn’t enough to hold off Keith as they broke away in the third. Naracoorte steadied and made a last ditched attempt, but it was too late falling short by 1 goal, 47-46. A brilliant game for the spectators. Kybybolite v Penola A game of two halves. Credit to Penola for building their 20+ goal lead in the first half. Their defensive pressure and ability to capitalise on Kyby’s turnovers reflected on the score board. Penola up 41-22 at half time. Kyby’s positive for the day was the ability to re-focus only go down by 6 in the […]
