On April 28, the first semi-final was played between Sprite and Mountain Dew, and it proved to be a game worth watching from start to finish.

The first double was played by Isaac Speed and Henry Garcia from Sprite, and Brendan Preiss and Kelli from Mountain Dew.

The Naracoorte RSL & District Bowling Club held its presentation night on May 2.

After enjoying a roast dinner with potatoes, salad, and vegetables, members received their championship prizes.

Thank you to our sponsor The Shelter B&B, Robe.

Last week we played Monthly Medal Stroke in groups of three, A grade played from 10 and B grade off the first.

A Grade

Mundulla kicked the only goals of the low-scoring first quarter, before Border Districts took the lead late in the second term.

The lead seesawed in the third quarter and Borders led by four points at the last break and extended their lead with a goal in the first minute of the last term.

The lead seesawed again before the Tigers kicked the last two goals of the match to win a thriller by eight points.

A fascinating round 5 of KNTFL football injected new life into the competition last Saturday.

All four games could have gone either way and have thrown a new light on the competition with some interesting developments.

The most significant result could have been reigning premiers Mundulla beating Border Districts by just 8 points, 12.8 to 10.12. Mundulla has been predicted as a slider after losing quality players and Borders a real mover up the ladder, but Mundulla has now won 4 of 5 games and Borders are 2-2.

Lucindale v Naracoorte: In the first quarter, Lucindale came out firing, showing spectators exactly what they can do. Leading at the first break 14-9. Naracoorte made some changes and stepped up with their shooting accuracy improving, taking the lead by two goals at the half time break, 22-20. A very even game throughout the court with tight defence down both ends making it difficult for all goalies. Naracoorte stepped away at the end, taking the game by four goals, 43-39.

A Grade: Naracoorte 43 (E Mott, S Logan) d Lucindale 39 (H Ogilvie, D Merry); Border Districts 36 (R Pfitzner, A Mahney) d Mundulla 35 (E Brown, Z Grosser); Kybybolite 66 (M Cavill, C Woodard) d Kingston 39 (A Mules, T Pink); Keith 54 (M Makin, W Smith) d Bordertown 41 (C Langley, Z Phillips).

Social Bridge@Bowls last Tuesday was once again well attended and enjoyed.

Thank you to Sue Hood who monitored and mentored players on three tables.

On Thursday, there were 22 members who chose to play competitive bridge in the warmth of the Naracoorte Bowling Club, the coldest day so far this year.

Recently, locals would have noticed a new small business bringing fresh energy to Smith Street, with mum-and-daughter duo Mandy and Brooke Stone opening The Soulfire Co in the heart of town.
