Mundulla v Kingston 29 July 2023

Mundulla v Kingston 29 July 2023

By Barb Altus Kingston goaled first and led midway through the first quarter before Mundulla, who were wearing black armbands to commemorate the passing of Tatiara legend and former Coach Eddie Dickinson, took the lead and extended it for the rest of the match to win well. At the start of the first term the Saints’ Matsouliadis slammed the ball forward where Wiseman kicked accurately forty seconds in. Kingston followed up with a couple of minor scores before the Tigers’ Nick Mosey and Hinge drove the ball to Stephan who kicked truly, then Ridgway, Guy and N Mosey worked the ball to Hinge who made no mistake. The Saints replied when Tom Rogers, Matsouliadis and Lockwood directed the ball to Fahlbusch-Moore who goaled, then took the lead when Lockwood and Braithwaite drove the ball to Harding who kicked accurately. Kingston had the majority of the play, but the Moots kept […]

Naracoorte Golf Club Ladies results 26th July 2023

Naracoorte Golf Club Ladies results 26th July 2023

By Sally MacLeod Koonara Wines kindly sponsored the Stableford round last Wednesday. They provided prizes for both winners and runner ups which was very generous and we thank them for their ongoing support of our ladies competition. There were only 18 ladies in the field – numbers have been declining over the past weeks which is disappointing when the course is looking so good. It was a beautiful sunny winter’s day making for some reasonably good golf scores. Both grade winners were decided on count backs. Congratulations to Kim Trueman who won the A grade with 35 points on a count back from Robyn Hage. Kim’s new buggy is obviously helping her golf! The B grade was very close with five ladies scoring 33 points! The winner was Trish Brooker and the runner up Di McInnes. Ball run down winners were Bernie Richards, Pat McCully and Sylvia Adams who all […]

Lucindale Ladies Golf

By Sandy Lye The Lucindale Lady Golfers struck the jackpot last Wednesday with a fine day so no excuses for bad scores on account of the weather were heard. Naracoorte Homemakers were the sponsors of a stroke round and Fionna McInnes had a day to remember coming in with a tremendous net 66 (including a par on the long par 5 18th!) to take out the B division from Petrina Smith who returned a net 73. Petrina had a good day on the par 3s taking home the ball for nearest on the 12th and 16th (in 2 -B grade). Nicole Hocking continued her good form of late coming in the top 2 for the 3rd week in a row with net 70 closely followed one shot behind by Megan Watson. Nicole had the best score off the stick for the day – 87. One golfer (?) who shall remain […]

Bridge Club results

By Bridging the Gap On Thursday we played 6 tables using 24 boards, so once again were able to head to the small room where it was warm.  Winners playing North/South were Ruth Dennis and Jill Perkins and East/West were Helen Edwards and Margie Porter who scored an amazing 68.91%, so well done to them especially as they had not partnered before. Interesting hands today and after I had a message from one of the players asking me why had they not scored when they had won the board, I had a bit of a tally of the boards we played and this had occurred twice in today’s play.  Both times it affected the East/West players. On board 21 the contract was won by two South bidders and two North bidders, no-one made their contracts, going down either by 2 or 3 tricks, giving their opponents  3 or 7 points.  […]

Naracoorte and District Hockey Association: Round 14, 29th July 2023

By Amelie Nancarrow Under 13’s Dartmoor 3 defeated Greenbottles 0 Dartmoor goals: Mason White (3) Dartmoor best: Mason White, Eddie Dolphin Greenbottles best: Toby boord, Jada Copping, Henry fry With a top of the table clash and bragging rights leading into the finals it was shaping up to be a great contest between Dartmoor and Greens on Saturday. The grey clouds came in and it started to rain but that did nothing to dampen the spirits of all players. Despite the weather, it was a fast start with both teams getting out of the blocks quickly. The first quarter finished even but Dartmoor had the momentum. Once the rain had cleared early into the second quarter, Dartmoor showed their quality all around the pitch with fast ball movement and a lot of circle penetrations. The defence for Greenbottles was working overtime to keep them at bay. With very few opportunities […]

Tatiara at Padthaway next week

Tatiara at Padthaway next week

By Chris Oldfield The community spirit of Tatiara District Council will be on show once again when it meets at Padthaway for its August 8 meeting. Traditionally, Tatiara meets at least once a year at Padthaway and once at Keith. The meetings in the outlying towns are always held at 2pm – a time when local school students can attend, watch and ask questions of councillors and the administration. Then, during a special “kid friendly” afternoon tea, councillors and students are able to chat one-on one about school and council matters. Tatiara’s Padthaway meeting will be held on August 8 at 2pm, in the Padthaway Sporting Complex. The council hopes members of the public will also feel welcome to attend. The public forum section of the meeting will be held between 2pm and 2.30pm. Meanwhile, Tatiara is hoping to attract funding to help pay half of a $20,000 design for […]

Our cardio Phil dies

Our cardio Phil dies

By Chris Oldfield AFTER saving hundreds of lives in our district, and throughout South Australia, leading cardiologist Dr Phil Tideman OA, has died as a result of bowel cancer, aged 64. It was at Naracoorte and Robe that in 1999 Dr Tideman first teamed up with the Kincraig and Robe Medical Clinics, setting a blueprint for the rest of the nation to follow. At the time – following research he had done in the late 1990s – Dr Tideman was concerned at least three people aged between 50-70 in our region would drop dead each year from heart attacks. Additionally, our country people had a 20 percent less chance of heart attack survival than our city cousins. Dr Tideman was determined to change that statistic, and he did. Through his Integrated Cardiovascular Clinical Network (ICARNET) project, within five years he had bridged the gap. Dr Brian Norcock of Kincraig Medical […]

Telstra signs up with Starlink

By Chris Oldfield TELSTRA’s new deal with Starlink will help provide a fixed voice service to rural and remote customers, but it won’t improve the poor mobile phone coverage in areas of the South East. Telstra announced its new deal with Starlink via a press release dated July 3.
