Monaro team wins national rural health award On June 19, Monaro Rural Health Service was announced winner of the category for Rural and Remote Health at the National Awards for Local Government. They were one of 370 entrants across 16 categories.

Monaro Rural Health Service began in 2001 with a pit-stop program where they screened for data regarding health concerns in the Monaro region. The service then expanded its work tailoring the health screenings more to the

person. Healthy Communities Manager, Janine Robertson, said that the service helps give people a ‘wake-up’ and prompts them to be more aware, and possibly take further action. “Following an evaluation, we found that Janine Robertson (centre) at a health screen at Cooma Harmony Day in May 2011. more than 75 percent of people had “There are people plugging In April, Monaro Rural Health actually changed something Service was chosen to present in everywhere on a community in their lifestyle from reducing a poster at the exercise science level,” Janine said. or eliminating smoking and conference at the Gold Coast. “It’s been great to find out how alcohol consumption, to The service is now working great our community is.

Councils, RFS at odds over funding Local governments and the Rural Fire Brigade are at odds over funding arrangements. Cooma-Monaro Shire Council has voted not to increase its contribution to the payment of Rural Fire Service salaries until a Monaro Zone is established. At its June 12 Meeting, council also voted to refer a proposed Council/ RFS Service Level Agreement to the Council/RFS Liaison Committee. The RFS had asked council to consider an adjustment from 32 percent to 39.7 percent district staff salary costs, equal to an increase of $9175. Discussion was held at the High Plains Forum Executive meeting in Bombala on April 16 on arrangements for forming a Monaro Zone for RFS comprising the Councils of CoomaMonaro, Snowy River and Bombala. The meeting agreed on a model which adjusted the apportionment of RFS Monaro Team staff salary costs to what was seen as a more equitable arrangement, taking into account the geographical size and budget of each Council as well as the number of brigades and history of fire incidents. Under the arrangement, Cooma’s share of district salaries will increase from 32 to 39.7 percent. This represents an increase of $9175 in 2012/13, to be offset by an equal reduction in the RFS capital works program so as not to disadvantage Council’s budget. The zone proposal that was discussed involved each Council continuing to administer the contribution, reimbursements and recurrent budgets for each respective Council area. RFS has now advised by letter that this model will not be accepted by the Service, and that a single Council must administer contributions and reimbursements. Further consultation will be required between the Councils to resolve this. Therefore it is unlikely that the Zone arrangement and a single Zone Service

Level Agreement will be able to be finalised before the current agreements expire on June 30. RFS has forwarded a draft renewal of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) for Council to consider. The agreement will commence on July 1 and continue until terminated. There are provisions for termination which will allow a Monaro Zone agreement to commence when agreed between the Councils, replacing the individual SLAs. The SLA will be reviewed by the Liaison Committee before being presented to Council to consider adoption.

Shires association moves to halt funding Shires Association of NSW delegates made an historic decision at their Annual Conference, advocating Local Government’s withdrawal from the operations of the Rural Fire Service (RFS). President of the Shires Association of NSW, Cr Ray Donald, said Conference delegates overwhelmingly supported the motion calling on the RFS to take over all council-owned RFS equipment, vehicles and assets. “This includes handing back to the RFS all the financial and physical management, maintenance and administration of local RFS units,” said Cr Donald. “Shire councils would also like to see the RFS improve Local Liaison Committee engagement processes, including constructive community consultation for local budget expenditure.” “On 26 April 2012, the Local Government and Shires Associations of NSW (LGSA) issued a discussion paper to councils, canvassing options for future engagement with the RFS. The vast majority of respondents came back in favour of disengaging from RFS operations. This was confirmed at today’s Shires Association Conference

with strong support of the motion.” “Council dissatisfaction with the operational and administration arrangements between the RFS and councils is widespread. It’s time to develop a new relationship that reflects current reality.” “However, I want to make this clear this decision has nothing to with the dedicated work that RFS volunteers carry out in times of great need in their local communities,” Cr Donald stated at the Conference yesterday. “This Conference decision is about the ineffective interaction with RFS management, and councils are sick of working through the muddied waters of the costly RFS administration.” “We call on the NSW Government to establish a working group with the RFS and other relevant agencies to help facilitate NSW Local Government’s retraction from RFS operations. NSW councils would still like to liaise with the RFS representing their volunteers, land managers and as the community representative.” “Obviously we would expect the NSW Government to negotiate the transfer of their assets, including reimbursement where appropriate, should they be transferred to the RFS.” The RFS, however, believes the decision by the conference is not unanimously supported. A spokesman for the RFS, Ken Hall, said last week the shires association decision was very disappointing. He said the RFS believed the existing arrangements were working well, with appropriate consultation. He said the work the RFS does in assisting with bushfire mitigation, for example, in house design and positioning was in itself well worthwhile. He said reviews of the 2009 Victorian bushfires have shown a co-operative approach is considered more effective. He also said the local RFS personnel have a great working relationship with their local councils and community.

As of July 1, CoomaMonaro Shire Council will eliminate the ‘e-waste’ fee - $6 due to an increase in irresponsible disposal of TV units since the switch off of analogue reception. Cooma-Monaro Shire Council Manager of Resource and Waste Services, Ken Silich, said that people have been dumping units along the highway and in the bush. “At the moment, it’s

costing more to go pick up the units than what people are paying to dispose them correctly,” he said. The free-of-charge disposal will act as a trial to see whether people choose to dump their old units correctly. It is hoped that the government pick-up service will then further dispose of the units free of charge. If not, the fee will have to be reintroduced.

94 Sharp St, Cooma | Ph: 64522 855 Canberra Branch’s music hall number “Christian Women’s Temperance Society” Singing, satire and vaudeville were highlights of the Monaro Group branches of the Country Women’s Association at their annual Cultural and International Day held in Bredbo on June 19. The Bredbo hall was packed when 74 members and guests were entertained with class acts performed by fellow members. Choirs from the Belconnen and Canberra branches demonstrated the results of numerous fun rehearsals culminating in polished performances including a stirring music hall number by the Canberra “Christian Women’s Temperance Society”. June McCluskey of Canberra had the audience chuckling with her political satire. Jerangle and Bredbo combined to perform the “CWA Coach Connector” and the women from Jindabyne pranced on to the stage with an impromptu rendition of Lee Taylor-Friend’s poem “The Woman Behind the Man”. The performances concluded with the entry of Her Majesty to a standing ovation and the singing of the royal anthem in celebration of her Diamond Jubilee Year. At the Inter Group Cultural Day in late August, performers from the Southern Tablelands and the Far South Coast will be challenged when the Monaro members strut their stuff.

Emergency services report NSW Fire and rescue attended a single vehicle accident at 4.30am on Sunday about 41 kilometres north of Cooma. The young male driver had hit a tree and received no serious injuries. Jindabyne Police are investigating $1500 worth of damage to a vehicle that was parked in Park Road sometime between 6pm on June 23, and 11am on June 24. The vehicle sustained damage consisting of scratching along the side of it. Anyone with information is asked to contact police. A property in Clyde Street Jindabyne had a pain of glass smashed in its front door some time between 2.15am and 3am on Sunday June 24. Police enquiries are continuing.

ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT BUILDING A DRIVEWAY?

CONTRIBUTION FEES

Council would like to remind anyone intending to construct a driveway that Section 138 of the Roads Act 1993, prohibits any person from carrying out work in, on or over a public road (including footpaths) without the consent of the appropriate road authority.

For any outstanding contribution fees in relation to proposed developments, please be advised that these fees may increase as from 1 July 2012, in conjunction with Council’s resolution on advertised fees and charges for 2012/13.

Council’s approval is therefore necessary prior to carrying out any work on Council road reserves, including the construction of driveways. Application forms are available on Council’s website www.cooma.nsw.gov.au or at the Council Offices, 81 Commissioner Street, Cooma.

WINTER WEED CONTROL Cooma-Monaro Shire Council wish to advise that African Lovegrass control has recently been undertaken on Mt Gladstone and North Ridge Reserves and also within Cooma Showground and Saleyards surrounds using the chemical, ‘Fluproponate’. Unlike Roundup and other Glyphosate products, Fluproponate is effective during winter for the control of exotic, perennial grasses like African Lovegrass and Serrated Tussock. African Lovegrass control has also commenced on road verges within residential areas of the Shire. Red marker dye is applied to the chemical formulation to ensure that residents and visitors can readily identify treated areas. Control efforts will continue throughout the winter months and into spring to address infestations within priority areas of the Shire. Further information on ‘Fluproponate’ can be sourced from local rural retailers, Council or via the internet.

NEW SAFETY SIGNAGE A STOP and GIVE WAY TO PREDISTRIANS sign has been installed at the footpath crossing from the Council carpark beside Centennial Plaza. Motorists are asked to please observe this pedestrian safety improvement. Remember that at all times, vehicles must give way to pedestrians on footpaths.

For further information on Council’s noxious weed control programs contact our staff on 6455 1941.

UPDATE ON DON’S NEW HOME Yallambee has received an overwhelming response from the community after its request on the 13 June for donations and assistance with construction of a ‘Men’s Shed’ for resident Don Summerrell in providing space to work on projects, many of which benefit other Yallambee residents, staff and families. Yallambee resident Elna Skilbeck kicked off the fundraising efforts for the ‘Men’s Shed’ project, making a personal donation. We have now been lucky enough to receive $500 from Perisher, who have generously donated the proceeds of their early season ticket sales to local schools, charities and community groups.

Funding for Jindabyne playground Member for Monaro John Barilaro has secured funding from the NSW Government for the design work required for the establishment of a new, socially inclusive playground facility at Banjo Paterson Park in Jindabyne. “The new playground will be designed as a safer, more modern alternative to the equipment at the park at the moment, which is 20 years old,” Mr Barilaro said.

The NSW Liberal and Nationals Government will provide $7,000 to the Touched by Olivia Foundation to enable the commencement of the first stage of this excellent project. “Credit for this investment should go to Rebecca Ho and the hardworking people involved in the Touched by Olivia Foundation who have championed this cause,” Mr Barilaro said.

Thank you to all the families and local businesses who supported the Kids Go Blue Disco at the Cooma Ex-Services Club on Friday April 27. Kids Go Blue disco The disco was organised by Sandra Corby and Tanya Beech, to raise money to buy an iPad and software for Monaro Early Intervention Service (MEIS). Sandra has had children at MEIS since 2007 and her daughter Sharni will be leaving the service at the end of this year when she starts school. Sandra hoped to be able to raise enough money to buy this thank you gift for the years of help and support she has received. The Kids Go Blue disco took place in April, which is World Autism Month, and blue is the official colour of autism awareness. More than 100 children attended the disco. The kids looked fantastic in their blue – some even had blue hair! The disco was supported by a number of local businesses including the Cooma Ex-Services club, Chelsea Coffee Lounge, and Miss Fi’s Cakes for All Occasions. Things ran smoothly on the night thanks to help from the Southern family, Kerry Parr, Tanya Beech, Fiona Foster, and Darren Moore. The disco raised $1092.30, which was presented to MEIS in May. Their new iPad is already being used by children at the service.

About MEIS Monaro Early Intervention Service (MEIS) is a non government, not for profit, community managed organisation. The service provides family centred early childhood intervention services for children from birth to school age with a disability or developmental delay. MEIS covers the large rural regions of CoomaMonaro, Bombala and Snowy River (16,000 kms2). It currently has funding to provide a full range of services to 50 children and is operating at maximum capacity. iPads to help children with learning difficulties There is a lot of research into the use of this technology for children with developmental delays and disabilities, especially autism, and the results are overwhelmingly positive. iPads are becoming recognised as a valuable learning tool for visual-learners: • The touch screen and layout make the technology accessible for children with coordination or learning difficulties, as these children may find sliding and tapping easier than either typing or writing. • The apps are also giving children new ways to express themselves, some for the first time. • They can be easily carried, which is helpful for calming and focusing children when required.

Top left: The wild dog caught at Rae and Ian Blyton’s Nimmitabel property last week. Top Right: Only one sheep died as a result of the wild dog attack, although six others required treatment for their bites.

Wild dog attacks near Nimmitabel Nimmitabel farmers Ian and Rae Blyton have been lucky to trap a wild dog which had been biting their sheep. Six sheep were bitten and required veterinary treatment and one sheep died as a result of the dog attack. The Blytons’ property is east of Nimmitabel between Warrigal Corner Road and Old Bega Road. This is the first time in 35 years that the Blytons have had a problem with wild dog attacks. The attacks occurred over a couple of weeks, but the Blytons

enlisted the aid of LHPA dog trapper Mick Travis who set traps and also put out 1080 baits. On Wednesday, a large wild dog was found in one of the traps about 5km from Nimmitabel. It is considered to be a wild dog/dingo and probably about seven years old. The Blytons believe there may be a female dog still in the area, but have not recorded any more attacks on their sheep. Mr Blyton said the trapper’s quick work had probably saved more sheep being bitten or worse.

Well done to Black Caviar, as a gallant a mare as any of us are ever likely to see on a racetrack. The Postman is mightily relieved that she survived the ordeal in England, despite pretty serious muscle damage in her win. One can only hope her owners have now finished pumping up their egos at the expense of Black Caviar’s well-being and she can return to a life of leisure in Australia. After 22 wins on the trot and inspiring a nation, what more can her connections possibly want from her, other than foals? Much has been said in the last week about the future of newspapers in the world. Much of what has been said has been coming from the metropolitan point of view. The Postman believes that when it comes to newspapers and news dissemination, it is very much a case of horses for courses. It may well suit many city-dwellers to access their news online at work and at home, but that’s not necessarily the case in the bush. As someone told The Postman last week - country people are ‘outdoorsy’ sort of people, not necessarily sitting in front of a computer all day and therefore require their daily or weekly ‘fix’ of a newspaper to get their news. The ‘local rag’ is the heart of the community. We laugh when times are good and cry with the community when tragedy strikes. We reflect the days of our lives - who has been born, who has passed away, who has excelled at something, who needs a hand with another matter. More than just words on newsprint, the local newspaper is all about its community. For it to disappear from our lives would be a very sad day indeed. The Monaro Post, YOUR local paper, is here for the long haul.

Resident critical of council’s plan Editor, Cooma-Monaro Shire’s 20-year draft long-term financial plan should be rejected in its entirety. The financial projections are solely based on allowable maximum regulation increases for rates, charges and fees. The plan withheld mentioning the double CPI annual increases of five to seven percent currently for water, sewerage and waste charges. At council’s plan presentation, the general manager when questioned why council rates, etc, are ever increasing in the climate of global financial crisis, enormous energy charges and the Monaro‘s high aging and low income population, the answer was staff wages and costs are increasing and staff cuts are not an option. For the last 20 years and it seems the next 20 years, it appears the Cooma-Monaro Shire Council will provide no evidence of specific actual costs to prove that automatic maximum rating increases are justified. This council is one of the state’s remaining councils that in the last 20 years has had no audit to establish the efficiency of council’s operations have justified staffing numbers. This draft long term financial plan is a recipe for a selfserving bureaucracy. Since the Snowy days when Cooma had a population of 14,000,

EDITOR 02 6452 0312 Gail Eastaway - 0408 930 180

the council staff has doubled for today’s population of 10,500 and reduced landfill opening hours, reduced weekly waste collections, closed creek crossings, sold the Town hall and invented the excuse “there’s no money in the budget”, to thwart urgent repairs to roads or other issues. While Cooma is now a regional centre, it appears stagnant and is backwards in many aspects. CMSC general meetings are boring affairs with councillors generally rubber-stamping staff recommendations and the juicy issues consigned to secret meetings. In recent years the sole participant invoking due diligence checks was the late councillor Vin Good, whose boisterous arguments created lively entertainment and challenged council staff. Cooma’s autocratic council can be changed if five or more persons of Vin Good’s calibre or at least nonbureaucratic stooge on invisible in office, are elected in September’s oncoming local government elections. New councillors need new visions, be community supportive and prepared to fight for the original intention of democratic local government, that is government by the people for the people.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fantasticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; open day at Cooma Rural The management, staff and suppliers of Cooma Rural Supplies are celebrating the success of their open day last Wednesday. About 300 people visited the business during the day to talk with suppliers, representatives and staff and enjoyed a barbecue that evening. Also on the agenda was a night at the movies, to view Snow White and The Huntsman, accompanied by choc-tops and water. About 60 people went to the movies. Cooma Rural proprietor Alan Hood said the day was â&#x20AC;&#x153;fantasticâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were 120 people in the draw to win the barbecue and bid in the auctions, and we raised about $1300 for the Monaro Education Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We auctioned Willy (Will Lloyd) off for a dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work and also had a South Sydney jumper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The day was about giving something back to our customers. They enjoyed it and so did the staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was also good for our suppliers to meet our customers and be able to speak with them firsthand about their needsâ&#x20AC;?.

Winter News

June Gardening Notes Week 4: Perennials are long-lasting plants â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Perennialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is the term for a soft-leafed flowering plant that lasts more than one year. Daisies, lavender and salvias are typical examples. Because perennials tend to die back in cold weather, many are sold in packages in winter. You have to have a certain amount of faith to plant these packaged specimens, as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re often little more than a few roots wrapped in something like sphagnum moss. But buying packaged plants is a relatively cheap way of purchasing longlasting plants for your garden. Even cheaper is begging some pieces from gardening friends. As time goes by, perennial plants tend to develop larger clumps and, every few years, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to dig these clumps, divide them up and spread the sections to other parts of the garden - or give them to grateful friends. Another economical way to add flowering perennials to the garden is to grow them from seed but, remember, perennial seeds tend to be trickier to germinate than the free-and-easy annuals. Patience and persistence may be required. Invest in some good quality Yates Seed Raising Mix and, ideally, a Yates Mini Greenhouse. Examples of perennials in the Yates seed range are carnation, dwarf lavender Munstead, Cinderella dahlias, echinacea and catmint.Other popular perennials that are grown from division or roots are: t "MTUSPFNFSJBo "MTUSPFNFSJB GMPXFST BSF soft bells in shades of pink, apricot, red and white.

Thoughtful gift from Coles to cheer waiting room Waiting rooms can be tedious places at the best of times, especially when there is not much on offer to help fill the hours. Coles’ Cooma Store’s generous donation of a television for the Maternity/Oncology waiting room at the Cooma Hospital has been very gratefully received. Coles’ administrator, Mr Sergio Caffarelli, who spent a bit of waiting time of his own in the Maternity ward, felt a television would be a

great addition to the waiting area. “I remember being in and out of here when my daughter was born and I think having a TV available for people to watch while they’re here would be really good!” The television is in place and up and running so from now on, the wait won’t feel quite so long.

Standing beneath the new TV are Coles Office Administrator Sergio Caffarelli, Midwife Janine Timings, Nurse Jane Wilkinson, Community Midwife Fiona Tuckerman, Coles Deli Manager Karyn Sutton and UC student Judy Anderson

NSW FIRST HOME BUYERS SET TO BENEFIT FROM GENEROUS INCENTIVES....... …but only if they buy new

In the budget handed down by the O’Farrell Government on 12 June 2012, New South Wales first homebuyers have been encouraged to “think new”, if they wish to benefit from government incentives. In a scheme described by the state’s Treasurer as “the most generous in Australia”, from 1 October this year the First Home Owner Grant will increase from $7,000 to $15,000 on newly built or off the plan properties, with a value of up to $650,000. The grant will remain in place until 31 December 2013, but from 1 January 2014, it will drop back to $10,000. In addition, first home buyers will be exempt from stamp duty if they purchase a newly built home with a value of up to $500,000 ($550,000 from 1 July 2012) and will receive a stamp duty concession for a newly built home valued between $500,000 and $600,000 ($550,000 and $650,000 from 1 July 2012). Similarly, those purchasing a vacant block of residential land to build their home on will pay no duty on vacant land valued up to $300,000 ($350,000 from 1 July 2012) and will receive a concession on duty for vacant land valued between $300,000 ($350,000 from 1 July 2012) and $450,000. Even if you are not a first homebuyer, the Government will from July onwards give you $5,000 if you purchase a newly built or off the plan property valued up to $650,000 or vacant land that you intend to build on that has a value up to $450,000. However, this bonus replaces the NSW Home Builders Bonus, which provides investors, subsequent homebuyers and seniors with stamp duty exemptions or concessions for certain purchases of newly constructed property, off the plan property and vacant land on which to build property. Stamp duty exemptions do still apply for anyone over 65 years of age (or, from 1 July 2012, 55 years of age or older) looking to sell their family home in the next two years and downsize to a newly constructed home worth up to $600,000. Whilst this is all great news for buyers of newly built homes or even vacant land, there is little help in sight for the majority of the market who are looking at purchasing existing properties. The current First Home Owner Grant of $7,000 for an existing property will be axed from 1 October, with major flow on effects expected to be felt by real estate agents and the property market in general. While the Treasurer acknowledged that axing help for some first homebuyers was a difficult decision, he felt that the changes will help kick start the struggling building industry by “targeting assistance where it is most needed in the economy”.

Unlock the value in your home Our homes are where we live, raise our family, a great long term investment, but they can be plenty more! Why: By having equity in your home and not utilising it is like burying a big bag of cash in your backyard! So what is equity, good chance if you bought your property 5 or more years ago, or you have been due diligent in paying extra on you mortgage you will have equity. Equity is the difference between the value of your property and the amount of money you owe on your mortgage. For example if you have a property worth $300,000 and you owe $200,000 then you have $100,000 in equity, now the banks will lend you money back against that $100,000 normally up to 80%. But itʼs best to talk to a qualified mortgage broker to discuss the amount you could access. When I speak to clients and give them an example of how to buy property without using any of their money, as most the wealthy do. Often a client may say I do not want to lose that equity I have paid off or have gained through capital growth. But once they understand you are not losing the equity you are simply transferring it into another house as a 5%, or 10% or 20% deposit. Now you have two growth assets working for you. They get it. The other advantage of utilising your equity, is you are turning your home which is a non-tax deductable debt into a tax deductable debt or parts thereof. For example if you are looking to buy a property for $400K with a 5% deposit plus costs (stamp duty on the land only, solicitors fees, interest during construction) you may need approx. $30,000 of your equity to be transferred into a new property. You can start with zero savings, and there is an incredible time in Australiaʼs history right now where you can invest in property at 7 oʼclock in the property clock, the optimum time to buy. If someone said hereʼs $100,000 to do with as you wish, I would hope you would invest at least a percentage towards securing your financial future. Well if you have equity you can unlock the value in your home and set yourself up for the future, without affecting your weekly budget today, with positive cash flow property you will actually increase your income, and gain the capital growth. Have a great day! Please call 0430 096 823 for a friendly chat on how you can capitalise on this unique time in history Peter Ingram Australiaʼs Blatantly Honest Property Investment Advisor

Many Brigade members and residents of Bredbo, Colinton and Michelago are aware of the extreme fire danger posed by the noxious weed African Lovegrass. NSW Rural Fire Service Brigades in the northern localities of Cooma-Monaro Shire are again advising the community that African Lovegrass is highly flammable and presents a serious fire hazard. This holds true at all times of the year not just during the fire season. Once lovegrass has been “cured” by sun, wind or frost, it burns fiercely and a fire front can move extremely quickly making it very dangerous for our communities. A characteristic of lovegrass is that “it can burn up to three times”; first the top of the tussock burns, then the stems and finally the tussocky mass at ground level. This makes it difficult to extinguish and requires firefighters to use aggressive and at times up-close suppression tactics to contain a fire that is burning in a pasture dominated by African Lovegrass. Colinton, Michelago, Bredbo and Cooma Brigade Captains are asking local residents to be extra vigilant during these winter months when doing any burning in areas dominated by African Lovegrass. Residents are also asked to let your neighbours and local brigade know prior to undertaking any planned burns. “Grass fires pose a real threat to our community as they start very

easily and spread very rapidly. The only way to manage these risks is to separate the grass fuel load from your assets, one safe method could be to graze around buildings,” said Fred Nichols NSWRFS Fire Mitigation Officer. The RFS has the following advice for landholders to help protect their property from grass fires: • Put fire breaks in place around assets, as well as boundary fences where possible. • Check that your farm equipment is in good repair and ready to deal with a fire should one occur. • Be aware that when blades of slashers, mowers and similar equipment hit rocks or metal, sparks can ignite dry grass. • Slashers and mowers are a major cause of fire once the grass has started to cure, they must be used with extreme care or not at all on hot and windy days • Register any Static Water Supply sources on your property, such as dams, swimming pools and water tanks with the RFS, which will assist firefighters if a fire breaks out. It is also important to remember that every landholder in the Monaro region should have their Bush Fire Survival Plan ready, so they and their family can make decisions quickly if a fire threatens their property.

Under 16 Red Devils trounce Marist Under 10s On Saturday the U10s travelled to Queanbeyan. From the kick off it was evident the Devils were putting much of their training into action, however Queanbeyan converted an early try. Cooma had nearly all the possession for the next 10 minutes, showing great determination, but the Queanbeyan defence held and a try against the run of play put Queanbeyan up 12 nil. Cooma hit back with two unconverted tries and an exciting game was on. Just on half time Queanbeyan scored another unconverted and the score was 17-10. The Devils scored a converted try to even the score board, followed by an unconverted try to grab the lead 22-17. Both sides were using the ball well with the Devils winning numerous tight heads to have the majority of possession, but yet again Queanbeyan crossed the line and converted to lead 24-22. Cooma kicked off for the last play of the game but unfortunately the hosts scored under the posts and converted to win 31-22. The Devils did everything but win the game against Queanbeyan who are second on the ladder. Cooma can be very proud of their performance - it was only Queanbeyanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desperate defence that halted many scoring opportunities. 1 point each to Ibrahim Hudson and Zac van der Platt, 2 points to Daniel Stove, 3 points to Harry Lithfield. Under 11s The Yass Rams turned up to play at Rotary Oval. Sam Larritt started out the game with a tackle on the biggest player which dropped him to his knees. Some strong support by Toby Haylock resulted in the Yass boys being taken over the sideline. Chris McDonald provided some gutsy play and teamwork. Yass kept defending and with some accurate kicks for the sideline, made the contest very even. A quick dodging run by Bailey Rogers from the back of the scrum meant all that possession did result in a try by Toby Haylock. The score was 5 nil. Archie Allen started the next play, but Yass kept their head, and continued on the attack. Keegan Caldwell showed some determination with a strong leg drive, managed to get the up the field. A short line out by Archie to Nick Cootes resulted in Cooma â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s second try, making the score 10 nil. Handling errors that had been absent from the previous Red Devils games crept in. Darcy Barnes got everyone back on track with an excellent low tackle right at the Yass boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knees. A well judged kick over the top by Archie, had Keegan on the chase, and with Bailey backing up, Cooma was over for their third try. A solid conversion by Archie had the score at 17 nil. At the break Cooma was 22 nil to Yass. Yass came out of the break with renewed vigour, and Cooma was caught off guard, and the opposition was over for their first try within five minutes. Cooma struggled to land tackles, and Yass got away time after time. Still Cooma came at them, and Yass was lucky to hold the ball up over the try line. Toby Haylock came under some pressure from the high ball but

managed to get the pop up pass off to Keegan, and Cooma was over again. The score was 27-5. Yass sensing ran in two unanswered tries after some sloppy defence. Damo Fanning had another solid game and Chris McDonald showed under how good he is under pressure. The points for this game were 3 for Sam Larritt, 2 to Rhys Sopniewski and one each for Chris Mcdonald, and Toby Haylock .The final score was 27-17 to Cooma. Under 14s The boys were up and off bright and early on Saturday to play Trinity in Goulburn. No refs were at the game so both teams still decided to play and both coaches reffed one half each. Some silly mistakes and Goulburn were ahead by nine, the team then panicked and played brilliantly in the last five minutes of the game to take the score up to 21-12 on the final whistle. Too little too late. Hamish Martin-Smith had a stand out game tackling hard all game and earned the three points. Dan Swain once again plugged away and was consistent all game with the ball, earning him the two points and Steve Bradford had a great game playing lock earning him the one point this week. Under 16s The Under 16s fielded the strongest team for several weeks against Marist Blue on Saturday at Rotary Oval. With the return of Keegan White and Sam Eljuga from injury and Luke Mould from suspension and with a full interchange bench, the Red Devils were primed to make up for the previous weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss to Radford. The Red Devils showed they meant business and a rampaging run from prop Chris Venables led to lock Sam Eljuga scoring the first try. The Red Devils were relentless in defence and halves Matt Kelley and Luke Bracher took full advantage of the windy conditions to kick deep into opposition territory. Enjoying both possession and field position Cooma scored again through Charles Miners, Luke Mould, Kevin Fraser and player Jack Downie. Matt Kelley converted three of the five first half tries and the Red Devils led 31-0 at half-time. Matt Kelley scored a neat try soon after the resumption of play. Coomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard working forwards tore into their opponents and Jack Rudd was next to score. Fly-half Luke Bracher scored classy try to take the score at 48-0. The plucky Marist team managed to cross Coomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line and convert to make the score 48-7 with about 10 minutes to play. The Red Devils responded with tries to Dom Giagios and Charles Miners. Conversions by Matt Kelley and Luke Bracher took the full-time score to Cooma 62 Marist Blue 7. The Red Devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; win was the result of tremendous team work

Anthony races In Formula Ford

The June long weekend saw Chris Anthony’s second round of the NSW Formula Ford Championship with Anglo Australian Motorsport. The venue was Sydney’s Eastern Creek Raceway. It was Chris’ first time at the track and his second only race meeting in a Formula Ford. Chris had his best ever qualifying with a third place. It was a big two days of racing, with the final race

being an eventful one. Rain brought out the safety car during the race. After a couple of laps behind the safety car it was back to racing and Chris finished fourth from 16 cars. Chris would like to acknowledge and thank his sponsors - without their support he would not be able to race. Chris’ next race is August 10 – 11 at Wakefield Park

Lady Tigers defeat Bel South This week the Lady Tigers played the bottom of the ladder Bel South. The team didn’t play to their best standard but still managed to come out winners 2-0. They will happily take the win and hopefully perform better next

week. The two goals were scored by Linsey Nichol and Candice Kopecky-Geach. This coming Sunday they play at home again, this time against ANU at 2pm.

St Moritz Ski club With some of the best early season snow conditions in memory of the club the 2012 St Moritz Ski Club started its season in Thredbo on Sunday. Off to a great start this year the kids were champing at the bit on the bus ride from Cooma to Thredbo, excited for the season, to be learning new techniques, racing and generally having fun on the mountain with their

friends. Thirty enthusiastic children are enrolled this year in the 14-day program and all had a great day in the excellent conditions. This year there is new ski instructors for the kids as well as the ever-popular parents ski instruction days through out the season.

Cooma Red Devils U12s took on their nemesis Bergman college on Saturday and although looking the better team for most of the game, they were beaten again predominantly by one player, a 175cm 65kg 12 year old running machine who ran in five tries. With 12 minutes to go at three tries all it was anyone’s game, the loss of Oscar Litchfield due to a head knock and missing Pierre Wall and Mathew Swain due to injury and Danien Corby due to illness weakened our already

Red Devils win and a draw at Hall The Cooma Red Devils travelled to Canberra to play the Hall Bushrangers on Saturday afternoon, travelling to Hall is always a tough ask and it was going to be no easy task to come away with the points. Reserve grade took to the field short of numbers so four first grade players filled in. Cooma started out strong and for the first 20 minutes both sides slogged it out in the middle of the park. Neither side was able to make inroads but Hall was the first side to crack the Cooma defence through a try out wide which was converted to give Hall a 5-0 lead. Cooma’s forwards were making good meters on the back of strong runs from Mark Fraser, Aerial Miners and Gary Moore, while the backs were making good meters but simple mistakes were wrecking any chance of building up pressure that they could turn into points. These simple mistakes allowed Hall to score another try and take a 10-0 lead 10 minutes before half time. Cooma was able to reduce the margin when Tim Casanova took a quick tap and was able to crash through the Hall defence, James Ewart kicked the conversion and Cooma went into half time trailing 10-7. The second half turned into a real slug fest with both sides having chances but neither side able to score points with Cooma’s defence holding up Hall on a number of occasions. Late in the second half Cooma was awarded a penalty and again Boo stepped up to the mark and kicked a penalty goal to level the scores. Both sides had late chances but neither side could score the winning points and it ended with the game been drawn 10 all. Points in second grade 1 point Chris Robinson, 2 points and players player Tim Casanova and 3 points Aerial Miners. First grade took to the field and started well. It was a real battle up front with both sides trying to win the field position battle. Cooma’s forwards were making good metres around the edge of the ruck while Cooma’s backs looked dangerous every time they touched the ball. Silly mistakes made it hard for the Red Devils to build any pressure and allowed Hall to clear the ball from inside their own half on numerous occasions. This allowed Hall to put pressure on Cooma’s defence and they were able to get

depleted side, but that’s rugby. Never the less the team played strongly and even though the final score blew out at 15 - 36 they should be proud of themselves. Best and fairest points went to :- 1 point Paddy Evans, Josh Bruce, Dane Fremanis, 2 points Joe Rossitor, 3 points to Ryan Bolton who is really becoming a strong young player. Pig Dog award went to Peter Tangye for another strong game.

through the Cooma defence and score to take a seven nil lead. Hall was again able to score just before half time and take a 14 nil lead going into the break. Cooma felt that they were a good chance to take the game as it was two lucky tries that had given Hall the lead. Cooma came out in the second half and it was the forwards who took it upon themselves to get Cooma going forward. Jimmy Nichols, James Strange and Pat Egan led the charge and it was Jimmy Nichols who was able crash over for Cooma’s first try of the afternoon. This was converted and Cooma was back in the game. Good scrambling defence from the two Schubert brothers and Curtis Watkins stopped any chance of Hall scoring further points. With Cooma dominating both the scrum and lineout, it was the backs who were able to score next when Sam Bacigalupo put Alex Moon over for his first try in the Red Devils colours. With the conversion unsuccessful Hall had a two point lead with 10 minutes to go and it was Cooma who wanted the game more. After being held up Cooma was awarded a five metre scrum and the forwards were able to drive the Hall scrum back, Steven Boate dived on the ball at the back of the scrum and Cooma had victory 19-14. Points this week one point was shared between Steven Boate and Sam Bacigalupo, 2 points Cody Henderson, 3 points and players player Jimmy Nichols.

Cooma Ladies Golf Last Wednesday pleasant conditions prevailed and enticed a number of ladies to play in the 9 hole Instant Replay event. This proved to be popular amongst most of the members as strategy comes into play. Joan Bracher was the winner with 17 points. Joan was able capitalise on the opportunity offered to replay a shot. Balls were won by Marilynne Weston, 15 points, and Aileen Smith, 13 points on a countback. In the 18 hole medley Instant Replay Gaye Wilson won a ball with 36 points. The annual Golf NSW 3BBB Versus Par was contested on Saturday. Although the number of teams was down, enthusiasm was high! The winning team was Marion Burke,

Lorraine McGregor and Gaye Wilson with +3. The girls played good golf and their scores complemented the overall result very well. They go on to represent Cooma in the FSC & T district competition to be played in Mollymook later this year. On Sunday a 18 hole stableford was played. Lorraine McGregor was the winner with 36 points. A fine birdie on the very first hole set the standard. She played very well, struck the ball solidly and her putts dropped! Coming up: Wed, 27th - 9 hole stableford/ 18 hole medley versus par; Sat, 30th – 9 hole stableford; Sun, 1st – 18 hole stableford. See you on the course!

Minor singles and pairs Richard’s three brought them back into the game 15/18 but they were only able to score once more for Steve and Richard to move into the final 26/17. Weekend social bowls attracted 14 players on Saturday and only eight on Sunday. Mary Phillips and Nelson Wallace had an early lead against Renate Winckel and Margherita Zasso which slowly disappeared but a strong finish got Mary and Nelson home 21/18. Maureen D’Amico and Mark Buckley showed Daphne Buckley and John Schoon no mercy in their 22/11 victory. Alan Crowe, Ken Bowden and Jin Lumsden scored nine shots on the first four ends against Max Povey, Wayne Fogarty and Ron Gammon. Although Ron and his team outscored their opposition in the run home they just failed to get a win, with Allan, Ken and Jim getting home 18/17. Bob Douglas and Paul Cannell were a bit too consistent for Jack Sajina and Ron Gammon in winning 25/14 and Renate Winckel and Peter Marsicano outscored Cheryl Meillon and Geoff Venables 22/15.

LAST WEEKS SOLUTION

Bangweni, who conceded a silly goal in the first half, showed his arachnidlike reflexes to save one of the only close chances Woden had to score the winning goal. The Tigers created several close opportunities that the extraordinary Woden goalkeeper denied. The final score ended 3-3 PATHWAY; Even though Woden opened up the scores, the Tigers were the ones that shined on Sunday afternoon. The impudence of scoring first cost Woden dearly. Cooma had no sooner evened up the scores than they swept the floors with the visiting team. In the first half Princewill scored the Tigers’ first goal. This was followed by Zac Schoon who scored in both halves. He was followed by the substitutes; first Jerry Ibarra bagged another hat-trick, and then Keegan Staff who replaced Prince who finalised the punishment. Woden was able to double their initial tally in the second half but it was too little too late. The final score ended 7-2. Cooma continue on in second place. Next week the Tigers will face Canberra FC at Deakin, who will be a tough opposition to encounter as they lead the table. Tiger U18s 7-1 loss Cooma Tigers under 18 Premier League played Woden played at Nijong. The Cooma weather was kind but football was not. Both teams started well enough and up to the 14th minute it was anybody’s game, a minor mistake by the Tigers defence resulted with Woden taking the early lead. A second mistake and the lead was increased to two goals and this continued all the way to the break with Woden increasing their lead to five goals to nil. It was a case of Woden playing like champions and the Tigers having their worst game of the season. The second half started with the Tigers hitting the field with much more determination and hunger, their efforts were soon rewarded and within the first two minutes Mitch Nisbet got one back. Woden did not take this lying down and they pushed the Tigers hard. A number of opportunities went begging for the Tigers but they were unable to place the ball in back of the Woden net. Two further mistakes by the Tigers resulted to Woden netting the ball twice more and the final result was Tiger 1 Woden 7. Next week we travel to Deakin to take on Canberra FC.

Collingwood v Fremantle West Coast Eagles v Gold Coast Geelong Cats v Port Adelaide St Kilda v North Melbourne

Cooma Cat’s Supporter

Woden came into Cooma like a tornado. The team caused damage to the town, defeating all but two of the Cooma teams at the Nijong. Thankfully, the Cooma team that won against the visitors did so convincingly. The PPL slapped Woden around 7-2. The PL 16 however lost 0-9 on Saturday, and the PL 18 lost 7-1. The premiers had to be satisfied with a draw. PREMIERS; From the moment they entered the Nijong, Woden made sure that the Tigers felt their presence. Pat McCann came to Cooma with a team full of young players that had enough fuel in them to outrun Cooma for the 90+ minutes of the match. The Tigers, who were used to toying with the visiting teams, were left reeling by the young and energetic blokes from Woden. It looked like Woden did not have any respect for one of most dangerous teams in the competition, and they faced the Tigers eye to eye, without fear. Woden had the guts to score in the first 13 minutes through Peter Marlet. He not only had the audacity to open the scoring for Woden at the Nijong, but also to score the goal that tied Woden with Cooma. In the 18th minute Castro, who was away last week due to a severe flu that kept him away from the Tigers and Rockets game and training, restored order to the match by scoring in an elegant manner. He was assisted by Robbie Cattanach. Woden was soon able to score again after a miscalculation from Bangweni. The goalkeeper tried to catch a low ball, struck from distance by Hinde in the 25th minute. However, he did not count on the ball bouncing just before it reached his hands. So, he was left red faced after the ball bounced through his hands and nestled in the back of the net. Cooma responded rapidly, with Castro cutting the bench celebrations from Woden short. Just one minute after Woden’s second goal, Castro scored. He was helped by a cut-back from Domenici from the back of the 18 yard box. This set up the captain to find the net for the second time. In the 34th minute Cattanach received a long 30 metre ball from Castro that surprised the visitor’s defence. Robbie dribbled past the last defender and with a masterful touch defeated the Woden goalkeeper. The score then was 3-2 for Cooma. The hyperactive kids from Woden were able to strike again in the 59th minute. This was again through Marlet.

Some great games by Cooma Colts U8 The U8s had a great game against Valley Dragons. Marcus keeps showing confidence with good running and getting involved in tackles. James ran the team around from half back and also scored a try. Talon’s tackling improved greatly with three try-saving tackles. Lachlan’s fleet footed work again with the ball was a handful for the defence. Jake also made some good solid runs through the middle. Kayla’s confidence continues to improve as well with strong running and tackling and she also scored a try. Adam’s weaving runs through the middle caused the defence headaches all game. Barrett’s work at half back and general running with ball improves each week. Brock again was very strong through the middle scoring a try. Kristian ran well from dummy half, scoring three tries and kicking a goal. Overall, it was an excellent display showing very good ball control and everyone playing well as a team helping each other out. McDonalds Awards went to Barrett and Lachlan. Player of the week went to Talon. U9 The boys took on the Valley Dragons and right from the opening whistle showed so much improvement and finally started putting what they have learned at training on to the field. The first half saw Lachlan McGufficke and Hudson Laird leading the tackle count and Braith Fitzgerald showed he wasn’t afraid to bring down the much larger opposition. He was helped out by Harrison Sowerby and Darcy Clark who is really starting to show great improvement. Bevan Tidboald filled in at dummy half and backed up well to have a great run. The boys came off at half time unlucky to be on the wrong end of a 12-0 score. In the second half the boys found some self belief and Lachlan, Jake Galvin and Hudson Laird all getting across the line with Jake and Clint Filtness both kicking conversions. Shaye Jack was almost unstoppable with his blistering runs. Danial Watts, Ryan Harmer and Jesse Eljuga also stepped up with try saving tackles and all three boys also came so close to crossing the line. It was fitting that the game ended in a 16 all draw as the smiles and puffed out chests of both teams was really great to see. The weekly points were awarded to Shaye -1 point, Lachlan - 2 points and Hudson 3 points. There were just not enough points and awards to go around this week with all boys putting in so much more effort. U10 - SPORTSPOWER The U10 Colts took on Yass in Cooma with both teams putting a good display for the crowd with Cooma scoring first by Noah Saddler. Yass bounced back quickly with a try and from there on it was an arm wrestle with great defence from Colin Kingston, Alec Miners, Ethan Connelly and Jordan McLeod. Yass scored again to lead but Cooma never gave with another try before half time to make the score 10-8 in Yass’ favour. In the second half Cooma were pressing Yass’ try line with a very nice run by Tyler Rees with a very nice grubber into try zone with Jordan McLeod planting the ball for a very nice try. After that Yass scored twice and looked like they had it in the bag but Cooma kept coming. The halves sent the ball out to a flying Nic Zusak who ran through Yass to score and lock the game up right on full time. Cooma lined up the kick and with a big gust of wind the ball hit the crossbar and fell back in field with final score 18 all. Coaches Award went to Jordan McLeod, 1 point Will Cahill, 2 points Nic Zusak and 3 points Noah Saddler. Well done boys on a great game.

U11 - Bylund Building The U11 Colts played the Gungahlin Bulls in a strong game from the get go. Samuel Sergo, James Hayden and Damon Fanning took to the ball within the first minutes of the match. With a slippery ball out there Gungahlin was straight in for a corner try and goal. Jayden Miners, Brendon Weston and Remy Oldrey all made distance and the ball was back and forth from Colts to Bulls. Tom Hill and Archie Allen made great tackles and ground. A kick was picked up by Sergo who took it up the centre for a stint, then William Pendergast with Darnel Bartlett continuing it on. Hayden gave a good kick bringing the ball deep into the Bulls territory. Hill saw a chance down the side and with a firm hold on the ball, he took off only to get hit hard in a tackle and he just fell short of the try line. After a few minutes on the ground he was up to pass the ball on and giving play where Damon Fanning excelled over the try line with a few players hanging off. Remy Oldrey converted. Shortly after, the Colts were up and over again from a few quick passes and a run from Sergo over through to Oldrey who ran the field to his favourite spot. Bartlett converted. Before the Bulls had time to think, Oldrey repeated the effort and scored again with Sergo converting, the score 18-6. Sergo kicked off the second half with the Bulls losing the ball. Good passing with Sean Dixon, Pendergast, Jayden Miners and Dylan Tahere who were all having a great match. Colts defended well and made the Bulls work hard to score and convert, bringing the score to 18-12. Pendergast went down the side with a burst, only to be knocked aground by the Bulls. Bulls picked up and delivered with a try and goal to draw. After the Bega Carnival on Saturday and then Sunday’s game, it was great to see the boys still gave all they had by playing exceptional football as a team. Great coaching by Creedance Bartlett and Rob Zusak goes hand in hand. Score: 18-18 Tries: Remy Oldrey and Damon Fanning. Goals: Darnel Bartlet, Samuel Sergo and Remy Oldrey. Players Medal: Samuel Sergo, Azzan’nare Pizza Samuel Sergo and McDonalds Award: William Pendergast. U12 - South East Embroidery Under 12s travelled to Queanbeyan on Sunday to play Queanbeyan United winning the game 42-0. The boys once again showed that they are all developing skill and knowledge of the game of football. Their passing, thinking and coordination of the game have helped them win throughout this season and Sunday was proof of this. Bill Zammit scored two tries and converted one, Lachlan Inskip also scored two tries and made a conversion. Lachlan Jones was lucky finding the line twice as well and converting. Luke Day scored two tries. Jack Reid found the try line after busting through the opposition from the half way line, well done Jack. Medal went to Cooper Swan for his outstanding game, Maccas awards went to Jack Reid, Jarrod Jeszczenko and Josh DwyerGersak. If the coach Richard Inskip had 12 medals all the boys would have received one today as they all played an outstanding game. U14 - Monaro Panel Beaters Last Sunday saw the match of the round in Cooma league with the Under 14 Colts taking on competition leaders, Gungahlin Bulls in a must win game to keep their semi-final chances alive. After some excellent first up defence and smart attack, the Colts pressured the Bulls on their line and forced a goal line drop out. Keegan Bull taking his chance in the forwards was

ferocious and combined with Walker and Sellers allowed the backs to show good hands for Williams to score in the corner. Again the good work was undone and a simple mistake from the kick off allowed the Bulls to score an easy try, sparking the boys to bigger things. Great line speed was forcing the Bulls to drop the ball time again and with Freebody and Hayden directing the team around the paddock, the Colts were again pressuring the Bulls line. Keegan Bull muscled his way over and the Colts took the lead 10-4.After another simple error the Bulls were back and at half time the score was locked at 10 all. The second half was by far the best effort from the boys all season. Every player gave 110 percent and continuous pressure and good ball control saw the Bulls have no answer to the Colts relentless defence and slick attack. In the end it was a second half shut out with the Colts running out winners 26-10. Up front Keegan Bull, Sellers and the rampaging Walker punished the bigger Bulls forwards. Power and Bowerman never took a backward step all day and McDonald again tackled himself to a standstill. The halves were sensational and Fanning was again strong in attack and defence scoring a double. Williams, Singh and Rosten were dangerous all game whilst Russell at the back was again solid. Saddler was inspirational coming up from the 13s and scored a well deserved individual try and claimed the Coach’s award. An awesome effort which was echoed from many in the crowd. Player’s player this week was Troy Freebody 3 points, 2 points to Damo Hayden and 1 to Dom ‘Gobbles’ McDonald. Well done Boys! U16 - Service One Members Bank The Colts U16s had another home game last Friday night against arch rivals Bungendore Tigers. Before the battle began, the Colts presented their team manager, Di Blyton, with a lovely bunch of flowers in recognition of all her hard work throughout the season and to celebrate the start of Women In League week. The Tigers jumped off to a quick start and scored out wide in the opening minutes. This steadied the Colts attack but they quickly regrouped to start on the road to another exciting match which this team is renowned for. Cooma’s forwards Ned, Eric, Richard and Glen hit the line hard and hit even harder in defence. Coming off the bench, Harry, Sam and Dom continued this intensity. With the Tigers having to concentrate on the middle of the field, the Colts got the ball out wide to Jack Williams who made a strong bust through the line to go 60 metres and score under the posts, making an easy kick for Austin to convert.Bungendore came back at the Colts and through some minor errors by the Colts managed to put on another two tries before half time for a lead of 14-12.The Colts emerged from the sheds a new team and their intensity increased tenfold. Ben Bruce and Jamie Clifford punished the Tigers in defence out wide whilst Thomas and Luke cut the line continually in the halves. Dylan played a strong game which earned him the team Medal for the match. Jack scored again after a strong hit on the line as did Thomas. Both tries were successfully converted by Josh Hogan to have Cooma in the lead with only minutes on the clock. Unfortunately, a slight lapse in defence by Cooma had Bungendore scoring out wide which levelled the score at 18 all.

Small schools rugby knockout Schools from throughout the Highlands attended the annual Country Rugby League Small Schools Knockout on a tremendous day in Cooma. Three schools participated in the day with another two having to withdraw at the last minute due to different reasons. Braidwood, St Pat’s Cooma and Bombala made up the trifecta of schools with St. Pat’s and Braidwood fielding teams in both the U13s and U16s age group. U13s played a tri-series with St Pat’s Cooma beating Braidwood in two of the three games as the players enjoyed the sunshine and atmosphere of the day.

U16s saw Braidwood, St Pat’s and Bombala played a three game competition before St Pat’s took on the improving Bombala in the final.

Stallions take victory in the last minute Rugby League returned to the Cooma Showground on Sunday with the Stallions taking on Eden in three grades.

With the large vocal crowd well and truly behind the boys the coach went within a whisker of crossing under the post but quick thinking from James Boller took the ball from a quick play the ball and he dived over to seal victory with one minute left on the clock. Final Score 30 – 27 to the Stallions in a tough and enjoyable game of Rigby League. Best for Cooma was Corey Thomas, Josh Tredigo and Brett “Winga” Dorward. This week Cooma has a bye then a road trip to Moruya the following week.

First Grade The boys were slow to react at the start of the game and Eden took full advantage by crossing for a try in the corner to take a 4 nil lead after only four minutes. This seemed to lift the Stallions and they started to gain in confidence and were able to hit back with a try to Jake Riley and Josh Tredigo in quick succession. With a conversion taking the Stallions to a six point lead. Eden and Cooma then traded blows with a try each making the half time score 16 – 14 in Cooma’s favor. Corey Thomas gave the Stallions a perfect start to the second half crossing for a try in the first couple of minutes. This seemed to give Eden a wakeup call and they hit back with two unanswered tries and a field goal to take a seven-point lead into the last 10 minutes. Things did not seem to be going Cooma’s way and they could have quite easily dropped their heads but they were determined to win. When Torin Findlow crossed bringing Cooma within three points a win was certainly on the cards.

Reserve grade 24-16 loss Reserve grade took on Eden at home last Sunday, with the team going away with a 24-16 loss, against the bigger, older Eden side. It was still a great effort by the young Cooma team and they were well served by all players. The standout players on the day were Todd Mould, Dylan Bodycott-Pielli, Captain Dan Thomas and front rower Darren Turner. This team has the goods and would greatly benefit from training and working on their general fitness, which should see them win more games. Pictured, Josh Tredigo.

Fillies outclass Eden’s Tigerettes at Cooma showground The Cooma Fillies took to the field on Sunday for what was only their third competition game of the season and their first on home ground. The girls donned pink socks to celebrate the ‘Women in League’ round and hoped to honour all the women involved in Rugby League by participating in a competitive game of LeagueTag. They came up against the Eden Tigerettes who travelled with a full squad and were looming as tough opponents. With the Fillies keen to maintain their dominance in attack and defence, the girls were well aware of the pressures they faced to come out on top, despite previous successes. Eden kicked off for the first half and were enthusiastic in their opening defensive set. The Fillies found their feet quickly and within the opening minutes, found gaps and gained good field position. Kate Schofield was the first across the try-line for the day, supporting an Anna Steel break down the left wing and outrunning the Tigerette’s cover defence. While Georgie Clarke was unlucky not to

score points of her own, Jade Lee was not so unfortunate and crossed in similar conditions to the opening try, finding space on the left hand side and continuing the pressure placed on Eden’s defence. The Fillies’ defence ensured Eden was unable to capitalise on any field position they attained

In “B” grade some good matches were held. Jeremy Wing was on fire and def Chris Tame (who had been going so well) 3-0. Young Hayden Smith – one of the up-and-coming youngsters – took on Edwin Kraft and defeated him 3-1 in a good match. For the same team Anika de Koning played Leanne Kent. Leanne won the first two games but Anika took a deep breath and won the next three games in a five game match. Andrew Bartell – another of the young players- moved up

a position to play Lyn Elton. Lyn won the first game 9-7 but Andrew came back and took the next two 9-7 and 10-9. However Lyn then beat Andrew to win the five-setter 3-2. Stuart Wood took on Jed Mackay in yet another 5-setter and eventually came out the winner 3-2.

Cats so near and yet so far... The Australian Hotel Cooma Cats have stumbled with a disappointing loss to a more determined Belconnen Magpies at Snowy Oval on the weekend. The final score was: Cooma 8-7-55 defeated by Belconnen 12-7-79. The loss sees the Cats still in fifth spot on the AFL Canberra Division three premiership table as the competition heads towards the business end of 2012 season. Cooma Cats Club President Dave Paterson acknowledged that while the defeat was a blow to the team’s top four aspirations, all was not lost. “We’re still in touch with the top four and we’ve become the type of team this year that is not going to let a setback like this derail all the good work done so far,” Dave said. “The boys have come so far this year and while there will be losses along the way, we remain confident in ourselves to make this one of our best seasons in

years,” he said. Despite kicking with a strong wind in the first quarter, the Cats failed to take full advantage of the chance to open up a strong lead. The Cats kicked four good goals in the opening term, but Belconnen proved equal to the challenge and managed to answer with three of their own against the wind. This proved the difference on the day as the Cats struggled to score against the wind while Belconnen took full advantage of it. The Cats were also missing four of their top players through injury and unavailability. “Of the four players out this week, two were key ‘talls’ and we certainly missed their height across centre-half back,” Dave said. “And the other two were key midfielders whose physical presence and speed were sorely missed around the

ground. “So with these players missing, we still remained reasonably competitive. The boys will take a lot away from this game and hopefully turn it around next weekend,” he said. However, things don’t get any easier for the Cats next week as they head to Yass for a must win game. The Yass Kangaroos and the Cooma Cats have enjoyed a strong rivalry over the years with the games always physical and played with great passion and intensity. “The Kangaroos have had the wood on us in recent years and playing them at their home ground is always going to be tough,” Dave said. “But I’m confident we can rise to the challenge. There is a lot of spirit in the team this year and we’re not done yet,” he said. Pictured, Taylor Lee kicks a sitter for the Cats.

Jets outgun determined Supercats On a sunny but cold winter’s morning, the Supercats, led by Zac Saddler, took to the field against a keen Gungahlin Jets side. The Jets, obviously full of energy from the drive down, quickly demoralised the home side by kicking through five goals and five behinds to win the quarter with a 35 point lead over the nonscoring cats. The game seesawed between the two teams throughout the following quarters to eventually see the Jets victorious over the Supercats. The score doesn’t reflect the ongoing tenacity of our players as we came back in the final quarter to even the scores up to Supercats 10 10 70 lost to the Jets 13 11 89. The final quarter saw a huge effort come from Noah Saddler voted as the Players Player, Nick Wassink, won the Supporter’s choice for his point

Weather fine for good golf Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson Over the week Cooma golfers saw some high scoring individual rounds more akin to summer golf with a marvellous 43 points by Malcolm Crockett on Wednesday and 40 points by Phil Patricks on Sunday. You really needed 36 or better in the stableford competitions to be in the hunt. We also had the conclusion of the two round Brad Bradley Trophy with Norm Marshall taking out first place with a great 77 stableford points over the last two Saturdays. On Saturday members played a single stableford with this round (plus last week’s comp.) completing the Brad Bradley Trophy.

On Saturday our A grade winner was Dave Robinson with a great round of 38 stableford points. Runner up was Bruce Burton with 35 points on a countback. In B grade Sam Patricks came up trumps with 38 points from Rob Brown with 37 points. In C grade first prize was taken out by keen camper and early riser Geoff Bohringer with 36 points from Ben Rolfe with 33 points on a countback. Ball winners went down to 33 points. Nearest the pins went to Neil Venables on the ninth and Steve Young on the 17th. Longest drives were won by Brian Searl in A grade, Christian Stockl in B grade and

Darren Hedger in C grade. Sunday saw a single stableford played with Phil Patricks really hitting out accumulating a fine 40 points from his son Sam with 36 points. Ball winners went down to 31 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth was Ben Rolfe and on the 17th Dave Crawford took out the prize. Wednesday saw a single stableford conducted with 35 golfers competing. A grade winner was Brian Turner with 38 points. B grade saw Malcolm Crockett amass 43 points for the round of the day (nearly the year) and C grade was won by Prawitt Prakotasung with 39 points.

Ball winners went down to 36 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth went to Heikki Evans and on the 17th Malcolm Crockett. Both gentlemen hit great shots within two metres from the cup. The unluckiest player of the day was Heikki Evans who had a great 42 stableford points and only won a ball. Normally such a score would win the day! Next Wednesday sees an individual stroke verses par. On Saturday there is single medley stableford and on Sunday a single stableford. See you on the course.

Bushpigs win big at home! The Jindabyne Bushpigs have overcome a gallant 12-man Braidwood Redbacks outfit to romp home 92-0 at John Connors Oval over the weekend. In contrast conditions to last week’s disappointing loss to the Taralga Tigers, the Bushpigs were looking to make amends on a fine sunny afternoon and that they did posting 14 tries against a much depleted Redbacks squad. The game started off slow for the Bushpigs, taking 10 minutes to settle in before the points began to flow. Coach Matt Tripet was looking for a strong start from the squad early on however the determination of the 12 Redbacks players really tested out the Bushpigs. The Bushpigs went into the sheds up 47-0 at the break and this became the perfect opportunity for fringe players to post some valuable game time to prove coach Tripet that they deserve a starting position. A further 45 points were posted in the second stanza many of which came in the opening 20 minutes. The final 20 minutes of the game the Bushpigs became complacent and ill disciplined giving the Redbacks valuable metres through a series of penalties. Camped inside their own line for the final 10 minutes the Bushpigs held their own and relief on the players faces when the final whistle was blown as they kept the Redbacks scoreless. Bushpigs five eight Jake Roarty starred with the points with a personal career best tally of total of 30 points missing only three conversions. Tries were scored by Matthew Caldwell (4), Jake Roarty (2), John Field (2), Ian Vagg, Craig Dixon, Michael Needham, Liam Pepper, Josh Shortland and James Barb Winter (all one). Credit goes to the 12 travelling Redbacks players who played their hearts and never gave up. The pure fortitude in each player during the game showed what rugby is all about. Playing for your mates and that jersey you are wearing. A game which was hard to adapt to a structure was definitely on show. In a very scrappy a fair the Bushpigs struggle to control the ball at times, however there was some good glimpse to take away from the game. After the game coach Tripet said ‘It’s important we got this win, however there isn’t much we can take away from this game. It’s not what I hoped

for after coming off a loss but let’s focus on next week and making sure we prepare ourselves well to take on Crookwell’. Points for this week were awarded to Josh Shortland (3 points), John Field (2 points and players player) and livewire fullback Matthew Caldwell (1 point). On another note, the Bushpigs welcomed the return of winter seasonal stalwart James Barb Winter to the squad. Barb Winter’s impact was felt after a posting a try with his first touch of the ball during the game . The versatile hooker/back rower will bring some added depth to the squad and no doubt Barb Winter will be pushing hooker Daniel Josifovski for a starting position in weeks to come. This week marks a tough away trip to Crookwell for the Bushpigs. Up until last season the Dogs home ground has been a hunting ground for the home team against the Bushpigs, with the Bushpigs scrapping home in one-one point thriller to stop the Dogs from clinching the Minor Premiership. The Dogs will be looking out for some revenge after the Bushpigs demolished them in the first round 76- 13. Always a tough trip away, the Bushpigs know they are a marked team in this competition and this was evident two weeks ago against the Tigers and no doubt the Dogs will fancy themselves on their home paddock to inflict the second loss of the season to the competition front runners. The Bushpigs will be near to full strength this weekend with coach Tripet the only notable missing player from the action. It will be a tough test of character for the Pigs and a win on the road will boost the confidence of all the players; however another loss away may raise a few eyebrows. Expect a dominant performance from the Bushpigs forward pack which the star studded backline will thrive off.

U/10 Piglets defeat marist The Pigets notched up another success for the season with a 26-20 win over the Marist lads. Solid upfront display from the forwards saw Jackson Bucknell and Bryce Robinson score a try a piece with Cameron Mclean and Jake Midgley from the backs also contributing a try each.
