Bulldogs bruising the opposition

WITH three weeks until the finals, the A Grade Beerwah Bulldogs continue to dominate the competition with another compelling display on the weekend. The squad pummelled the Nambour Crushers 70-0 in their Saturday clash at Beerwah’s home ground, with coach Brett Hill crediting the team’s ruthless attacking flair.

“As I said earlier in the year, their defence has always been great this year making it hard for teams to score points against us, but now our attack has finally clicked,” he said.

“They have finally started being there for their players, allowing them to take any opportunity that arises to score, but not to be too fancy either.

“The boys have stopped trying to be perfect every game and not being so tough on themselves, which has actually made them play better.” the squad,” he said.

“Ken understands the value of a great training environment as he is one of the early Pomona King of the Mountain winners and long time record holder.

“Also a special thanks to Nicole Doyle from Niche Law and Sara Sharma from Hinterland Learning for sponsoring the club.”

Horoscopes WEEK BEGINNING AUGUST 1

LEO

JULY 23 – AUGUST 23

Look who’s in full flamboyant sashay down this month’s catwalk, cameraready for a royal roller-coaster ride. Don’t get tripped up on the red carpet as retro Venus in your sign brings you face to face with any confidence issues standing in the way of authentic self-expression. Simply acknowledge, deal, proceed.

VIRGO

AUGUST 24 – SEPTEMBER 22

Mercury, in an extended visit to your efficient sign, loves organizing budgets, editing, getting paperwork in order, planning ahead and initiating new routines. So far, so fabulous. But it can also be nit-picky and critical, which won’t go down well with August’s divas, so best not offer critiques unless requested.

LIBRA

SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 23

August’s star map features Libra’s personal planet Venus at her most creative, and you expressing your naturally artistic personality to the max. Supporters could come out of the woodwork when full moon on 2 August stimulates collaborations, and a community project begun now could make a powerful impact.

Scorpio

OCTOBER 24 – NOVEMBER 22

How to get your ideas across in a climate of inflated self-importance where everyone knows best and nobody’s listening? Set your own ego aside, let them think it was their idea. Buffer all suggestions in a praise sandwich, starting and ending with positives, because this week flattery will get you everywhere.

Sagittarius

NOVEMBER 23 – DECEMBER 21

With too few hours in the day for what you love, let alone activities that drain your spirits, this week’s celestial menu invites you to bow out of engagements that aren’t lighting your fire. Because August, with first five, then seven heavenly bodies dragging their feet, is going to need your fiery get-up-and-go.

Capricorn

DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 20

This month’s mantra for Capricorns?

Lighten up. Park your inner cynic in the time-out chair. Let an attitude of curiosity and readiness to experiment blow the dust off some old beliefs. Do something different: draw with your non-dominant hand, take a new route to work, taste a dish you’ve never tried.

AQUARIUS

JANUARY 21 – FEBRUARY 18

We are all here for a specific purpose, and this month’s celestial imperative invites you to step into your authority. Full moon in your communityminded sign on 2nd August offers an opening to exercise your personal talents and contributions in a way that benefits and creates value for the collective.

PISCES

FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20

In our competitive marketplace, even genius products, services and concepts sometimes need to be squeaky wheels to attract the attention they merit. This month’s heavenly energetics nudge you onstage, while Saturn in your sign reminds you to take notes of what works best, and what not so much.

ARIES

MARCH 21 – APRIL 20

While some people will always find your style controversial, August’s stars remind you that self-respect is more valuable than the popular vote. Being the trail-blazing leader you are sometimes means standing alone for a moment, in which case know that your courage will always be an inspiration to others.

Beerwah has a few injuries including Kai Busiko and Rowan Jardine, but coach Hill said they are a lot better off than their opposition this season, as some Bulldogs are now coming back from injury.

Bulldogs lock James Hill and centre Jack Aitken both scored hattricks, with the team scoring 12 tries in total with 11 successful conversions.

TAURUS

APRIL 21 – MAY 20

Jupiter in your straight-shooting sign won’t mince words this week, so if you’re not happy with the amount of affection, attention or response you’re getting, then initiate The Talk. And if that’s not received easily, do keep your cool because nobody benefits from a temperamental toro seeing red.

GEMINI

MAY 21 – JUNE 21

August’s energy injection sets you off like a sparkler into demon socializing mode, but the glitz, glam and grandiose visions of Leo season also make it easy to get carried away. Overpromising and underdelivering could attract feisty reactions, so tune into Gemini’s savvy celestial mentor Mercury’s sensible advice.

Cancer

JUNE 22 - JULY 22

This week encourages showcasing something you want others to notice, and gives permission for whatever shameless self-promotion you care to share. Full moon on 2 August falling in your partnership zone calls time to reflect on the give and take in relationships, and whether your needs are being met.
