WILL MICE RETURN TO PLAGUE US? PAGE 2 Boost for transport for cancer treatments CANCER patients will have better access to treatment now that the Cancer Council Central West has received grant funding for a second cancer council car.

A grant of $42,481 from the NSW government’s Community Building Partnerships program has allowed the council to purchase another car to transport patients for treatment within a 200 kilometre radius of Dubbo.

Nikki McCutcheon, the president of the Narromine Cancer Support Group, has welcomed the news as very positive for the Narromine community.

“Our group is just thrilled if there are easier ways for people to get down to their treatment,” said McCutcheon (pictured).

She said while cancer patients in Narromine do have access to a community car, the bus into Dubbo and taxis, “it is limited, most people rely on their friends and family. And for some people that’s not an option.

“A big thank you to the government and an even bigger thank you to the Dubbo Cancer Support Group for organising the drivers.

“Anything that helps people with cancer get from A to B is great. They are all in crisis,” said McCutcheon.

THE Macquarie River at Narromine and Dubbo is expected to remain at a minor flood level.

With the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) forecasting rainfall across NSW over the coming week, the flooding is predicted to continue – with Warren expected to experience major flood levels.

A WaterNSW spokesperson said, “Regional dams are preparing to capture

the next increase in inflows, with almost all storages across key sites reduced in anticipation of the forecast rain event.

“The midweek forecast from the Bureau of Meteorology indicated that the rain could focus on the state’s south, however the likelihood of storms combined with wet catchments and full dams means inflows are possible across the state,” the spokesper-

son said.

“Releases that have occurred between rain events to minimise downstream impacts will be cut back as the rain approaches, to prevent dam water adding to any uncontrolled downstream tributary flow generated by the rain.”

WaterNSW media manager Tony Webber said it has been an unusually wet summer and WaterNSW

is in regular contact with the Bureau of Meteorology and NSW State Emergency Service to help monitor the situation.

“Burrendong Dam still remains a 128.6 per cent flood zone, but it has decreased from 146 per cent last week,” Mr Webber said.

In the Central West, Wyangala storage level has also been reduced at 95.8 per cent.

Will mice return to plague us again?

By NATASHA MAY EXPERTS say the wet weather means the mice plague is unlikely to return, but warn farmers to stay vigilant so that unharvested grain doesn’t provide mice with food.

Despite the damage the wet weather has done to o crops, Xavier Martin, the vice president of NSW Farmers (pictured), pictured), says “one of the good things the e wet period has as delivered is a massive reduction uction in mouse numbers.”

Mr Martin says prior to the wet weather there had been reports of mice getting stuck in harvesting vesting g equipment, but that the October ober and November mber

tures reaching 22 to 27.

Sun protection recommended from 8.50am to 5pm, UV Index predicted to reach 11 [Extreme] Friday 10 December Min 11 Max 24. Partly cloudy. Chance of any rain: 20% Central West Slopes and Plains area Partly cloudy. Slight (20%) chance of a shower. Light winds becoming southeast to southwesterly 15 to 25km/h during the morning then becoming light during the evening. Overnight temperatures falling to around 11 with daytime temperatures reaching 21 to 27.

rain has seen a “massive” decline in numbers.

However, “in good news for the mice” Mr Martin says heavy rain and the inability of headers to cope with the mud, means there’s a lot of food left behind for the mice.

“Farmers are still going to have to levels post-harvest, monitor mice level populations could pootherwise popula tentially explode into autumn t ntially explod te again,” said Mr Martin.

Steve Henry, Henry a CSIRO research officer specialising in mice on the grain the impact of m industry, said reports about mice emerged in spring last year but bu that “after the harvest is when ha things thing really kicked off ”.

not expect the plague will return this year, as it is usual to see declines in mouse numbers at the end of an outbreak.

He said there haven’t been many reports of mice in the areas that had huge numbers through the plague, but that “patches of moderate numbers” had been seen in southern NSW and north Victoria.

He said the flooding which has occurred would have also suppressed numbers as while adults would have been able to escape the water, any babies would have been drowned.

Mr Henry said, “making sure farmers do the best job they can of harvesting the crop will reduce the amount of food available for mice and that in itself reduces their capacity to go on breeding throughout the summer”.

Prospective university student Charlotte Green given a helping hand

By BROOKE CHANDLER YEAR 12 graduate, Charlotte Green, was awarded the inaugural Gwennyth Campbell Memorial Education Grant on behalf of Narromine Country Women’s Association (CWA).

Ms Campbell, who suddenly passed away in February this year, was remembered as an energetic member whose service in both Narromine and Tottenham CWA groups stretched over two decades. At the time of her passing, she was the president of the Narromine branch, having also been the vice-president of the far west group in 2020.

She was passionate about helping young students be successful.

At the end of the CWA’s meeting on Friday, December 3, Miss Green was presented a shield as well as a $500 cheque.

Miss Green gave a sincere vote of thanks and mentioned her plans to study nutritional science at University of Wollon-

“This money will significantly assist my big move to university”, she said.

CWA representative Carolyn Egan told the Narromine Star, “The recipient is to be a Narromine High School student who shows great potential, application and determina-

tion to further themselves after completing the HSC for ongoing tertiary studies at TAFE, University, cadetship or apprenticeship.”

Narromine High School careers advisor, Jan Davison, said Miss Green was especially selected by staff for her “consistent application to her studies, kind-

ness and acceptance of others and time spent volunteering with Narromine Netball Club through coaching and refereeing at a trip to Vietnam in 2019”.

Miss Green is the fi rst student to receive what will be the annual Gwennyth Campbell Memorial Education Grant.

Boost for cancer patients as Cancer Council gets funding for second car From page 1 Dugald Saunders, member for Dubbo, said the demand for transport will only increase since the new Western Cancer Centre in Dubbo opened in September.

He said it was important to recognise “cancer is something people have had to travel to receive treatment for a long time, and the new cancer centre

is making a massive difference to people’s lives already.”

However, even with the opening of the new centre, Saunders said for those in surrounding areas more transport options are still needed because “if they’re not feeling great, it’s hard to get yourself into treatment.”

He said the new car would bring the ability to transfer more people, more often.

Council gets on with business New councillors’ agenda includes rain events, river levels and roads

By LUCIE PEART

AS most NSW residents headed to the polls over the weekend, Narromine locals could instead carry on with their weekend routines. With nine candidate nominations and nine positions on the Narromine Shire Council, the election for the local government area was uncontested.

The makeup of the new term of council was known last month however, the nine councillors were officially declared by the returning officer on Saturday, December 4 – state election day.

Diane Beaumont, Dawn Collins, Craig Davies, Casey Forrester, Adine Hoey, Lyn Jablonski, Ewen Jones, Les Lambert and Lachlan Roberts make up the new Narromine Shire Council.

General manager Jane Redden said “we look forward to working with our newly elected council to achieve the outcomes of our community strategic plan and delivery program”.

The new council elected its mayor and deputy mayor, at the ordinary meeting held December 8, 2021 [yesterday, after the Narromine Star print deadline].

The iVote online system also crashed on election day, and postal votes don’t close until later next week. This leaves those councils in limbo until after Christmas, and many won’t hold meetings until February.

Due to no election being

needed, Narromine Shire Council have been able to get the new council up and running sooner than its neighbours.

Agenda items in last night’s council meeting included the mayoral minutes on the Macquarie Flood Mitigation Zone Reference Group and the activities of Murray Darling Association. A fact of note, is that

during the past month, outflows from Burrendong Dam have increased from 12,000 mega litres per day to 40,000 mega litres per day, to cope with the inflows of water from the ongoing rainfall events.

The Murray-Darling peak body has also appointed a new chief executive officer, Mark Lamb.

port to council included the election of mayor and deputy as well the selection of councillors for committees and the ordinary meeting cycle for the new term of council. The 2020/2021 annual report of council has also been released.

Highlights include several developments and upgrades including Apex Park and Cale Oval, Trangie and Tomingley beautification projects and the aerodrome business and the Skypark residential developments. Council also managed over $13.5 million in grant funding, chiefly for infrastructure and road funding.

In the infrastructure and engineering report, councillors were given seven recommendations for road reclassification reviews within the shire, and presented with the monthly works and maintenance completed report. The recent weather has caused some damage to the road network and council investigations into flood damage are ongoing.

Reports were also received from committees – Narromine Australia Day, Rural Fire Service Liaison. Local Emergency Management, and Internal Audit.

Right to repair a win for farmers THE state’s peak agricultural body has welcomed a common sense decision to open up the market for repairs on expensive farm machinery. NSW Farmers business, economics and trade committee member Andrew Martel said it was a win after an 18-month process with the ACCC and the Productivity Commission.

“Farm machinery in particular can be very expensive and getting an ‘authorised repairer’ out to a remote property to fi x something can also be very expensive – farmers should be able to choose to use a qualified local or do repairs and maintenance work themselves if they’re qualified,” Mr Martel said.

“We saw the same sort of thing done for cars a number of years ago and that’s worked really well – if you’re a qualified mechanic you can fi x any car, hopefully this will mean the same for big farm machinery too.

“It’s great to have these issues highlighted and looked at, and now it’s up to the Commonwealth to drive the change.”

At the moment, farmers are locked in to getting services and repairs done only by authorised dealers and agents, adding extra costs to the farm business. Mr Martel said he understood why that system had come about, but it wasn’t the best way forward for Australia.

“Every year you’re seeing a significant reduction of dealer networks across regional areas, and there’s a common view that we need qualified mechanics to make non-critical repairs without voiding warranties,” Mr Martel said.

“Farmers know the value of their machinery and the business impacts when these are not operational – a more open and competitive after-sales market outcome is critical.

“The importance of access to machinery diagnostics, codes, schematics, and parts to enable increased access to local, third-party repairers to enable faster, more convenient and affordable repairs, particularly where they are minor, is essential.”

$440,000 to to complete Cale Oval Masterplan THE Narromine Shire Council’s vision for the region’s premiere multi-sport facility is nearing completion, thanks to a grant from the NSW government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund. Member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders announced on Tuesday, December 7, that the council has secured $440,301 to complete the fi nal stage of its Cale Oval Masterplan.

“For years now the Narromine Shire Council has worked diligently to transform Cale Oval into a multi-sport hub to be envied,” Mr Saunders said.

“The fi nal piece of the puzzle is the construction of a clubhouse with kitchenette, meeting space, storeroom and accessible change and bathrooms, as well as the upgrade of the fi nal two tennis courts.

“I’m proud the government has been able to work hand-inhand with council to deliver this vision and build a sporting facility everyone in Narromine can be proud to call their own.”

Narromine Shire Council general manager Jane Redden welcomed the funding.

“This tennis club project is the fi nal stage of an overall masterplan at the Cale Oval

sporting precinct site, and it is anticipated that a refurbishment will provide benefit to the entire population,” she said.

“There is no other facility that will offer multi-use sporting activities in the Narromine local government area.”

Narromine shire’s economic development director Phil Johnston with MP Dugald Saunders and shire general manager Jane Redden.

Contract awarded for NarromineGowrie rail link AUSTRALIAN company Martinus Rail has been awarded the contact to deliver approximately 570km of track linking Narromine and Gowrie in Queensland as part of the Inland Rail project.

Narromine’s journey to 90 per cent double dose OVER the past 18 months, individuals and businesses across western NSW have been burdened by the pandemic. However in August, COVID’s delta strain arrived with unmatched ferocity.

“The interlinking of regional communities meant as soon as Dubbo entered a lockdown, Narromine followed shortly afterwards”, said Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders.

Even now, the origins of Narromine’s fi rst COVID case still remains unknown.

REGULAR readers of local newspapers value highly the vital role they play in their community, Now, a new national survey has shown that even non-readers value newspapers.

More than half of people who do not read local newspapers believe they are essential to their communities, the survey has found.

Findings from the survey show that 64.5 per cent of respondents consider a printed copy of a local newspaper an essential service to their communities. Further, 48 per cent, or just under half, state that if they ever did read a local newspaper, they prefer to do so in print, compared with online (33 per cent) or via social media (13 per cent).

The survey, conducted in July and August this year, sought the views of 400 Facebook users, who do not read a local newspaper, about the role of local news within their communities.

The research targeted participants in areas that were being served by independent local newspapers within the Country Press Australia (CPA) network.

The fi ndings come as many local newspapers have struggled to survive during the pandemic.

Deakin University associate professor Kristy Hess, who is leading the research, said the Facebook survey supported

Associate professor Kristy Hess from Deakin University. fi ndings from a previous national study of local newspaper readers, her team conducted last year, highlighting a passion for the printed product.

“The fact that social media users examined here (in the latest survey) also indicate a preference for print is perhaps especially profound,” she said.

Cost and accessibility were the key reasons these Facebook users did not engage with a local newspaper in print or digital format, said Dr Hess.

“Many participants highlighted that the absence of a home-delivery service or easy way to access the paper created an impediment to accessing the physical copy. They also indicated that they resisted paying for local news and would engage if it were free.

“This resonates with fi nd-

ings from our fi rst survey of newspaper readers – that is, the existence of a culture of ‘free’ where people believe local news content should be readily available without cost to audiences.”

Bruce Morgan, executive director, for CPA, said the survey results were not surprising and reinforced the mood of many regional communities.

“It is not just about the survival of local independent (newspaper) businesses, but that it is fundamental to community well-being, and to basic democratic notions of accountability within those communities,” he said.

“Issues around accessibility and cost are also not surprising and reflect swings in community expectation in recent generations. Most independent publishers are adapting to that, having learned from the mistakes of the big corporate players who are now deserting the regions.”

Country Press NSW president and co-publisher of the Narromine Star said small independent news publishers are keenly aware of the challenges and opportunities that social media presents to their businesses in the digital age.

“Newspaper publishers are dealing with very different advertising markets, even at a local level. Many of the traditional newspaper advertising avenues have moved on to so-

cial media, such as buy, swap, sell pages. Publishers are adapting however, increasingly contributors and would-be advertisers are taking to social media fi rst and thinking about their local publications second,” said Mrs Peart.

“We must work harder to be relevant to an online audience, and part of that is about having staff to run your digital options and monitor the audience interactions. CPA is working hard for its members to access funding from digital platforms to ensure fair compensation for locally created news content.

This in turn will help small publishers increase their online and digital news delivery for the future,” said Mrs Peart.

Both recent surveys are part of a national three-year Australian Research Council-funded project involving researchers from Deakin and RMIT universities, with support from CPA, the peak media body for independent news organisations. The project is about to enter its third year.

Associate professor Hess said the voices and perspectives of everyday people were often missing in policy discussion about the future of local media.

Almost 30 per cent of Australia’s population, close to eight million people, live outside major cities in rural and regional areas and are lesswell serviced than their urban counterparts.

‘Game changer’ to create 250 jobs

$4.8 million grant to help engineering company relocate from Western Australia to Narromine

By BROOKE CHANDLER A WESTERN Australian engineering company will relocate its operations to Narromine, creating up to 253 full time local jobs and providing a major boost to the state’s advanced manufacturing sector.

The announcement was made during Premier Dominic Perrottet and Deputy Premier Paul Toole’s visit to Dubbo on Monday.

The pair announced a further $55 million has been injected into the NSW Government’s Regional Job Creation Fund, and an advanced manufacturing precinct at Narromine is among the 68 projects set to benefit from the fund.

Mr Toole said a $4.8 million grant will help engineering company Simmons Global relocate its operations to Narromine. “(The company) will produce everything from unmanned aerial drones to solar UV monitors that tell teachers when students should play in the shade, as well as help upskill local indigenous and youth workers through apprenticeships.”

Mr Perrottet said the establishment of Simmons Global in Narromine illustrates what the Regional Job Crea-

al NSW over the next three years through the fund.

Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders described the advanced manufacturing precinct as a ‘game changer’ for the Narromine community.

“By setting businesses up for success, we’re helping them attract new customers, which means more people in work and earning a wage that they will spend in local shops, supporting our local economy.”

ARTC has announced that the Narromine pedestrian rail bridge will be relocated to the Richmond Vale Railway Museum in the Hunter Valley.

Chairman of the Narromine Aviation Museum, Peter Kierath, is concerned about the justification of the relocation which he says “would be taking away one of the major historical assets of the town square”.

Mr Kierath said the bridge was put up in 1917 and has been in place over 100 years. He said he was sceptical about the reasoning for its removal, feeling that the bridge’s historical and cultural value was being overlooked.

‘Superwoman’ RETIREMENT Narromine Servicing FIRST Narromine West celebrates business and the Central VILLAGE PLANNED honours the fallen milestone STORY: PAGE 4 STORY: PAGE 5 STORY & PHOTOS: PAGE 12

River below minor flood level WITH many parts of the state on significant flood watch, the central west has been spared the worst of the weather for now.

Trangie has only recorded 15mm rainfall in the past week compared to Dubbo’s 56.6mm.

The Macquarie River height at Narromine swelled to 4.82 metres on Sunday which is well below the minor flood level of 5.50 metres.

On Monday and Tuesday, the height remained steady at 3.7 metres before falling to 3.2 metres on Wednesday morning.

The height at Gin Gin Weir remains over four metres and the river did peak over the minor flood level at Warren (7.91 metres) on Tuesday.

The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting more rain over the weekend which is not good news for farmers who are trying to harvest crops.

Water has also been released from Burrendong Dam this week, as the dam levels rose 30 per cent in one week to 128 per cent on Tuesday.

WaterNSW has advised they are now releasing 10 gigalitres a day from Burrendong Dam, which is currently receiving inflows of 13 gigalitres a day.

The releases will be reassessed later in the harvest period.

On Saturday, Water NSW officials notified flows would be increasing from 25,000 megalitres per day to 35,000 megalitres per day as the dam reached the flood mitigation zone.

NSW State Emergency Service (SES) western zone commander, David Monk, said the Macquarie River is expected to reach 9.1 metres this week, leaving Narromine on a minor flood alert.

“Further rises are possible,” Mr Monk told the Narromine Star, “but that is attributable to more rain which we are forecast to get.

“The team is working very hard at the moment and know that we are in this for the long haul. We have received lots of stupid calls from people who have forgotten the dangers of flooded areas and runing waters,” Mr Monk added.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S N’S P CATCH UP Comment by MARK COULTON, es Federal Member for Parkes

Flood assistance for more areas ON Friday, I was able to visit Gunnedah and Narrabri to assess some of the damage caused by major floods that have devastated both towns.

Both communities are now facing a massive clean-up, after floodwaters inundated homes, damaged roads, bridges, sporting fields, and wipedout crops.

The recovery effort will hopefully be made a little easier with disaster assistance made available to a total of 16 local government areas in the Parkes electorate, including the Bourke, Brewarrina, Broken Hill, Cobar, Coonamble, Dubbo, Gilgandra, Gunnedah, Gwydir, Narrabri, Narromine, Walgett, Warren and Warrumbungle shires.

Assistance is being provided through the jointly funded commonwealth-state disaster recovery funding arrangements (DRFA), and will help councils, residents, primary producers, small businesses and community groups recover from the severe weather events and flooding that has occurred from Tuesday, November 9, 2021.

In an attempt to reduce the impacts of major flood events like the ones we’re currently seeing, the government is investing in infrastructure projects, including levees, levee systems, infrastructure to promote floodplain restoration and specific green infrastructure initiatives that mitigate flood risk.

Applications are now open for a second round of the national flood mitigation infrastructure program, with a further $50 million available for priority flood mitigation infrastructure projects across the country.

I urge local governments in the Parkes electorate to bring forward projects that will benefit their communities to the NSW government for consideration.

Not Negotiating exceeds all expectations

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES PURCHASED for a meagre $600 with the intention to race on the picnic circuit, Not Negotiating has exceeded all expectations. Following a run of impressive performances, the now six-year-old mare, on Friday, December 3, won the $75,000 Robert Oatley Vineyards Mudgee Cup. Owned by Elise Johnston from Wellington and trained at Wellington by Peter W Stanley, Not Negotiating was ridden superbly in the 1600 metres cup by Bathurst-based apprentice Ashleigh Stanley who is the daughter of the winning trainer.

Notabadidea, Highly Desired ($4 favourite), and Brother Bassy were the leaders turning for home with the well fancied Ready To Humble about to challenge, while Not Negotiating was several lengths away near the tail of the field.

Ashleigh Stanley took advantage of an opening and Not

Negotiating ($6.50) followed the inside rail all the way home down the long Mudgee straight to win by a halflength from Canberra galloper One Aye (Mathew Cahill, $7) with Notabadidea (Clayton Gallagher, $16) battling on well for third.

Not Negotiating came to the Peter Stanley stable last year following a discussion between Alex Prout and Michael Johnston, who both work as barrier attendants at central west tracks.

Alex Prout, an outstanding rugby league player, had won a Maiden race as the owner of Not Negotiating and sold the mare to Michael Johnston’s wife Elise.

The intention was to race Not Negotiating at the picnics with Michael Johnston who had recently gained his licence, as the rider. Johnston, the son of former world champion rodeo rider Scott Johnston and himself a rising star on the rodeo circuit, won his fi rst picnic race on the Peter Stanley-trained Magic Gift.

The regular trackwork rider for Peter Stanley, Michael Johnston also rode Not Negotiating when third in an official barrier trial at Wellington.

Peter Stanley was impressed with the trial and suggested to Michael and Elise Johnston they give Not Negotiating a try in TAB races.

First up for the stable in Septe-mber 2020, Not Negotiating ran second at Orange and then won the next start at Mudgee, with Ashleigh St-anley becoming the regular rider.

Continuing to improve with every run, Not Negotiating won the Cotton Cup at Warren in November last year and in February, 2021 won the Championship Preview at Bathurst.

He then fi nished a gallant fi fth in the $150,000 Central Districts Heat Of the Country Championship at Mudgee.

Back from a spell, Not Negotiating won at Dubbo in October and over the past fortnight has fi nished fourth at Canterbury and won the Mudgee Cup. Since being purchased for $600, Not Negotiating has won over $100,000 prizemoney.

“Not Negotiating, and my daughter Ashleigh as the jockey, have done a fi ne job and I am getting a lot of pleasure training the mare for such a lovely young couple, Michael and Elise Johnston,” said Peter Stanley.

ISN'T it good to have a weekly newspaper in Narromine! Congratulations to those responsible for this great publication.

Last Saturday, December 4, the Narromine Geriatrics Golfers, commonly known as the ‘Gerries’, played their weekly competition.

In all a total of 21 players participated,13 ladies and eight men.

Winner in the ladies division was Ann Harmer who recorded 17 stableford points to defeat Gail White also on 17 points on a count back.

There was no winner of the ladies NTP so the prize will be added to the kitty and played for next week.

Winner of the NAGA prize for the ladies was Marj Kelly with 11 points.

Only eight men turned up for their event and the winner was the very consistent Brian Masling with 22 points.

There was a countback in the men’s event as Chris Harding also recorded 22 points but lost the split decision on a count back.

Good to see Chris back on the course and playing well following recent surgery.

There was no NTP winner for the men and it will also be added to the jackpot kitty for next week.

A great battle was staged for the men's NAGA between Gus Smith and Terry Willis with Gus taking the prize for being the

In all a great morning's entertainment.

Cricketers get a chance to play after rain

By MATT ELLIS

WITH the sun shining after the deluge of the previous week, it was great to see cricketers out playing the summer game once again on the weekend. Unfortunately, all teams had a loss this week with the under 14s team having players out with injuries and illness.

At Olsen Park on Saturday morning Narromine hosted Dubbo Rugby Cricket Club in the under 12Bs. The visitors came away with the win with Matthew Smythe having a good morning with the bat and ball for Narromine picking up two wickets and top scoring with 12 runs.

In the other under 12Bs game, Narromine played South Dubbo in Dubbo with some good performances from John Elder who scored eleven runs and picked up one wicket. While Luke Sherwood claimed the impressive bowling figures of 2-7.

In senior cricket, Narromine fell 30 runs short in their Pinnington Cup clash with South Dubbo despite Matt Ward and Mitchell Smith both scoring half centuries. The two were the standouts with the bat with Kerr, Battishall and Potter each claiming a wicket with the ball.

Narromine travelled to Dubbo to take on Macquarie in the Kelly Cup with the hosts victorious by five wickets.

Captain Alex Sambrook notched his fi rst half century of the season and was well supported by Zachary Everett who made 26 not out in Narromine’s total of 111. Sambrook backed up his form with the bat with a tidy spell of bowling fi nishing with 2-10 and was supported well by Dylan Goodman taking 2-22.

There are still two rounds of cricket prior to the Christmas break with Narromine Red and

Callum Jacobson and Ned Kerr from the under 14 side.

Narromine Black both heading to Dubbo next weekend in the U12Bs. Meanwhile the U14s will host Macquarie at Olsen Park on Saturday morning.

In Pinnington Cup, Narromine take on Newtown Ducks in Dubbo, with the Kelly Cup team being at home when they take on South Dubbo at Dundas Park.

Dundas Park will see more cricket action on Sunday when the Brewery Shield side continue their title defence against Nyngan.
