By Sally MacLeod. Here goes for two weeks of golf – a bit late with my article for last week’s paper! Two weeks ago, Helen Cox and Chris McDonald kindly sponsored the Stableford team’s event, as they have done for many years. A big thanks to them for their ongoing and generous support. There were 19 golfers in the field – 4 teams of 4 players and 1 team of 3 players. Team winners were determined from the best aggregate score. The team of three, consisting of Trish Brooker, Jill Steen and Sally Macleod were the winners with a combined 3 person score of 100 Stableford points. Sally Macleod scored 38 points, which was the best individual score of the day. The runners up were Robbie Talbot, Elaine Zerk, Kate Falconer and Vicky Scallion with a score of 126 points. Unlike past weeks, all four nearest the pin prizes were […]

Border Districts and Kingston won the first two A grade games in the 2023 KNTFL finals series last weekend. In the qualifying final at Penola on Saturday, Borders were too good in the second half for Keith and won 10.11 to 7.7. In the elimination final on Sunday at Keith, Kingston were far too strong for Naracoorte and won 15.10 to 10.11. The results mean Borders advance to this Saturday’s second semi-final, while Keith will play Kingston in the knockout first semi-final on Sunday. The season is over for Naracoorte after their loss. In last Saturday’s qualifying final, nerves would have been high among the Borders faithful with their side not having played finals for many years. The match started evenly with Keith holding slight leads at the first change and half time, up 5.4 to 4.6. But Borders had a decisive third quarter kicking three goals to none, to […]
