The 60th Lucindale Easter Tennis Tournament was held over the Easter weekend in glorious sunshine.

Naracoorte Squash Club: Autumn pennant, Round 10

A Grade: Keith 49 (M Wachtel, P Pado) d Mundulla 37 (S Ashby, Z Grosser); Kingston 45 (E Orrock, T Nicolle) d Bordertown 40 (I Sneath, C Langley); Border Districts 51 (P Moyle-Read, R Pfitzner) d Naracoorte 41 (G Midwinter, G Collins).

A Reserves: Mundulla 48 (N Obst, A Mock) d Keith 44 (E Lamont, P Jones); Naracoorte 69 (B Sinclair, K Mott) d Border Districts 29 (A Proffit, M Kester).

Mundulla had a slow start with Keith coming out and capitalising on their centre passes and turnovers.

Mundulla came out in the second quarter to try and win back as much of the ball as possible. However, Keith stayed strong and consistent.

Mundulla made changes at half time that made a big difference and they started the second half strongly.

Another absorbing day of Bridge@Bowls took place last Thursday when 24 members battled it out in the pleasant surrounds of the Naracoorte Bowling Club.

Yet another brilliant effort from Jenny Clark, this time in partnership with Marjorie Todd, saw them take out first position in N/S with a solid 62%.

Marjorie has been in the placings for consecutive weeks, so that is most certainly a job well done. Second and third positions for N/S were filled by Jill Jacob/Jill Perkins and Christine McDonald/Helen Cox.

Several Wednesdays of golf have slipped by with no reports being written, so here follows a summary of the results from the past four weeks.

A Stableford round was played on March 18. There were 19 ladies in the field competing for very generous prizes kindly donated by Wild Game Wine thank you to Mary and Guy for their ongoing support of the golf club.

Elaine Zerk was the winner with 39 points and Sandra Munn was the runner-up with 37 points.

After a tight, see-sawing game, Mundulla held on to win the low-scoring match by 4 points, despite a determined last-ditch effort by Keith.

The Crows started strongly, scoring the first goal of the match when Will Schreiber forced the ball into attack where Hender kicked truly, then Seb Schreiber and Will Schreiber drove the ball forward where Riley Wilsdon took a diving mark and made no mistake.

It was a stunningly good start to the 2026 KNTFL A grade football season last Saturday with some great games on offer.

Three of the four games were tightly fought, and the reigning premiers Mundulla were pushed all the way by one of this year’s main challengers Keith in the match of the round.

Playing at home as they started their premiership defence, Mundulla found themselves in a fight all day against one of this year’s expected challengers, Keith.

Weather conditions last Wednesday were once again ideal for the 16 Lucindale ladies who played either Laurel Wreath or in the Club Stableford day.

The Laurel Wreath Trophy is a Golf SA event which was first played in 1954, and in one division.

All entrants are drawn to play handicap match play with each round played over 18 holes by specific dates.
