By Barb Altus. Bordertown scored the first goal of the match when Hayes kicked truly two minutes in, before Kybybolite’s Ottoson-Crossling kicked accurately four minutes in, then George Malone made no mistake a minute later. After a minor score, Kyby’s Sidney Malone goaled, then Ellis gathered the ball and ran forward and his kick goalward bounced through the big sticks, before the Roosters registered a minor score. When Charlie Brodie kicked the final major of the first term the Tigers led 5-1-31 to 1-1-7. Kybybolite again attacked strongly in the second quarter, starting with a minor score before C Brodie collected the loose ball and kicked truly. The Roosters’ next attack resulted in a behind, before Kyby’s Freckleton launched attack from defence and S Malone made no mistake, then Ellis also kicked accurately. Bordertown’s Cornish drove the ball forward from defence and Hayes’ shot hit the post, before the Roosters […]

By Sally Bywater. A Grade: Keith 43 (Mary Wachtel) d Lucindale 39 (Chloe Cane). The game was off to a flying start with Keith initially controlling the game. Lucindale fought their way back to even the score at the end of the first quarter, 10 all. Keith had a very solid start to the second quarter but Lucindale closed the gap to be down by 4 goals at half time, 23-19. A very even game!

By Rosie Legoe. Last week’s competition was the ‘Shepherds Hill’ Monthly Medal Stroke round generously sponsored by the England family who are long-time supporters of the Lucindale Country Club: special thanks to Min England sourcing such useful & beautiful prizes. Although fine & warm weather was enjoyed, the strong winds ‘put the wind up’ whilst putting precariously on our fast greens. Thankfully the natives are flowering magnificently & at times helped soothe souls who were tested by either their golf or swooping magpies. We all loved seeing Audrey Brooker back at the clubhouse & great seeing Sharon Menz again after her Queensland holiday. A highlight of the day for majority of golfers was the magnificent monthly medal lunch, thank you to Julie Wilks & Petrina Smith who provided fish & chips! Huge congratulations to the September Monthly Medal, A Grade Gross & Nett Winner, Nicole Hocking with a nett 71 […]
