By Rosie Legoe Last week was the 2nd round of President’s trophy & Olympics with a Stableford competition generously sponsored by Wild Game Wines, thank you very much Mary & Guy. Our members are very grateful for your inaugural sponsorship & the prize winners were envied by all. Wild Game Wine’s 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (The Duke) & Shiraz (The Dame) have both received huge accolades from Winestate Magazine & recently raving reviews from QWine quoting “It’s quite the class act for the money”. How fortunate that we can all source & enjoy these wines & cheese platters from their cellar door @ our front door in Naracoorte! It was wonderful seeing Sally Macdonald back playing golf & we enjoyed having Michelle Dupree & Sammy Kiefel joining in. Despite the frosty morning we all welcomed the clubhouse fire (thank you Issie) as well as the sunshiny day. A Grade Winner was […]

By Bridging the Gap The Naracoorte Bridge Club is a great opportunity to play competitive bridge however it’s also nicely social & this was highlighted when our venue was unavailable recently & at the 11th hour & our quick thinking President, Jill Redway generously offered her home for the 22 players.  Our members are also indebted to Sue Hood who continues to offer the odd workshop, last week it was about how to best play a No Trump hand & it was heartening that 2 players used their lesson well on Thursday at the club.  Well done to Yvonne Hegarty & Mary Lush who both separately bid No Trump hands, achieved their contracts & top scored in their direction. Twenty ladies played last week, N/S winners were Jenny Clark and Rosie Legoe followed by Christine McDonald (special birthday girl) and Helen Cox.  Congratulations to E/W winners Janet Ottoson and Sylvia […]

By Sally MacLeod Last Wednesday, 18 ladies competed in a Par round very generously sponsored by Sweet Expresso. The winners received lovely gift boxes which they were delighted with. A big thank you to Aimee and her husband for sponsoring the ladies competition. Par is a very non-forgiving competition and the scores certainly reflected this! Di McCully, playing beautiful golf once again (if only we could all be as consistent as her!), won the A grade with +1 and she also scored a nearest the pin on the 16 th hole. The runner up was yours truly with – 3! This reflected the scoring on the day! The B grade winner was Susie Mort with -1 on a count back from Di Mcinnes and Mary Staude. Di and Mary were therefore recipients of golf balls in the ball rundown. Nearest the pin on the 7 th , sponsored by Naracoorte […]

By Max Clifford A good field of 66 went to Millicent’s course on a fine winters day, including 5 of our Victorian  neighbours, but they all found the course hard to score on, with 36 points the best in  both Divisions. In First, Bill Mullan, a local, won from Mark Pilmore 34, counting out Milan Hodak 34. Second Div went to Rob “Tank” Thompson 36, from Dennis Smith 34, and Bobby Davies 33.

1° KNTNA A GRADE MATCH REPORT By Sally Bywater Bordertown v Lucindale Bordertown played a tight, strong, controlled game which made it difficult for Lucindale. Lucindale played a great team game resulting in well deserved turnovers. There was great defensive pressure all over the court from both teams which made it difficult for the goalies to score. Scores were even at half time, 16-16. Lucindale made changes at half time and capitalised on turnovers getting themselves in front at three quarter time, 28-25. A low scoring last quarter with Lucindale finishing off better to get the points, 38-31. Keith v Mundulla Keith came out firing with Mary Wachtel and Em Richardson shooting the lights out in the first quarter, 17-9 at the first break. Mundulla fought back strong in the second quarter with some tight defence and turnovers coming from Alix Lovering and Renae Feder, Keith in front 25-17 at […]

By Barb Altus The lead alternated multiple times during the very closely contested match before Mundulla retook the lead at the end of the third quarter and finished strongly to win by 28 points. After some minor scores the Tigers goaled first when Hinge and Stephan drove the ball to Guy who kicked truly, then Studham and King slammed the ball to Hinge whose banana kick from the boundary close to goal was accurate. McAuley, Innes, Bibby and Seb Schreiber were strong for Keith who replied when Wilson, McNeil and Colby Read worked the ball to Wade who made no mistake, and the Crows attacked repeatedly but only minor scores ensued before the Moots’ Noll and the Mosey brothers directed the ball to Hinge who kicked truly and at quarter-time Mundulla led 3-2-20 to 1-5-11. Keith goaled first in the second term when Innes and Hender forced the ball to […]

The evenness of the KNTFL was underlined again on Saturday with some very close results and a near upset of the year. Bottom side Kybybolite led for most of the day before succumbing to top team Border Districts by just two goals in what would’ve been the upset of the year so far. Kyby led by 4 points at the last change but Borders’ class players stepped up when it mattered to win 12.6 to 10.6, with Mackenzie Bower kicking 4 goals and on-baller Mark Quinn 3. Mundulla powered away in the last quarter to have an important win over Keith. Mundulla led by only two points at the last change, but kicked four goals to none in the last quarter to win 13.10 to 8.12 and hold onto second spot on the ladder. James Hinge is running into some good form and kicked six goals for Mundulla, while Blake […]
