By Paul Mitchell By necessity, the Scouts’ ‘be prepared’ motto also fits the philosophy of long-serving Naracoorte Racing Club track manager Bill Vine.  The club’s next scheduled meeting is more than two months away, on Friday 20 October, but a combination of recent history and old-fashioned pride in performance has the local track race-ready 365 […]

Mundulla made a pre-finals statement by comfortably beating fellow top five team Kingston in last Saturday’s KNTFL match of the round. After an even start, Mundulla pulled further away the longer the game went, to win 16.16 to 11.8. Gun goalkicker James Hinge was again in good touch with 5 goals and captain Nick Mosey was named best player, while Kingston’s young locals Ethan Murdock and Jack Harding were among the best for the seasiders. Mundulla’s win means the Tigers remain within reach of top spot on the ladder, while Kingston now has no hope of making the top 3 and will play in the first knockout elimination when finals arrive. Kybybolite continued its improved recent form with a thrilling win over Padthaway, despite a masterclass from ex-AFL goalkicker Daniel Menzel. Kyby led by 6 goals early in the last quarter before Padthaway stormed back, with Menzel kicking 4 goals […]

Opinion: Bush Turkey It’s a real shame that the top 5 teams in the KNTFL put such a gap on the rest of the comp so early in the season. Borders, Keith, Mundulla, Naracoorte and Kingston have pretty much been confirmed as the finalists right from about round 7 or 8, which has sucked a lot of the interest out of the finals race. The shame of it is, just looking at the ladder as a snapshot would give you the idea that it’s a competition split down the middle with the top 5 being so much better than the bottom 5. Kingston in fifth spot is 4 wins ahead of Padthaway in 6th, so the top half the ladder is streets ahead of the bottom half. But the truth of it is, and the reason why I think we have such a healthy competition, is that our bottom half […]
