“Magnifique” — Warren CWA France International Day feast WITH France the f lavourof-the-month following the recent Paris Olympics, it was only to be expected that Warren CWA’s recent International Day was aptly-described as “Magnifique”. Held at Warren Sporting and Cultural Centre last Friday, the event featured the best of gallic culture for both members and visitors to enjoy. Warren local CWA (Country Women’s Assocation), as well as Trangie and Narromine members and guests, gathered to sample ﬁ ne French cuisine and to learn more about the culture of this iconic nation that has given the world so much. Helping to celebrate the 2024 Games, the day also included reminiscence on all things French by Sharon McCalman speaking about her time in Paris and regional France around 1985; followed up by Jill Robards and her visit a few years later; before a more-contemporary talk by Pauline Serdity then who made a trip to the City of Lights, earlier this year. A display table was also setup to show a range of historical events of France, and information of how The Rooster is the national symbol, and the Iris the national ﬂower. Also discussed was French contri-

bution to art, science and culture, including Marie Curie and Joan of Arc. Judie Sturtevant also knitted a beret in the colours of the French Flag — blue, white, and red — to wear on the day. Highlight of the celebration was a delicious four-course luncheon, all cooked and supplied by the local CWA ladies that comprised: f A cheese platter, featuring various cheeses, macarons, strawberries, and crackers (as French people enjoy lots of lovely cheeses); f French onion soup; f Mains: Beef Bourguignon, Chicken Coq au Vin, Quiche Lorraine, all served with potato and French bread. f Desserts: crepes; eclairs; cheesecake; custard tarts, and fresh fruit. The two raffle prizes were French Champagne (of course!), and were won by Kath Bennett of Trangie, with the French perfume prize won by Ruth Hando on Narromine. The lucky door prize of French chocolates — Ferrero Rocher — was won by Jean Richardson of Narromine. The day was very successful, and everyone present had a wonderful French celebration. Hourah!

OBITUARY THIS moving tribute for lifetime local, nurse, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Joyce Phyllis Saunders, was delivered by her beloved niece, Patsy Nagle, after her recent passing and a service held at St Mary’s Catholic Church, Warren “Hi, I’m Patsy Nagle. Joyce and my mother are sisters, so I am a cousin to the “Saunders Mob”. I am honoured to be chosen to try and tell you all about my Auntie Joyce’s life, and Holy Hell, what a life it has been! A life so rich and full, that it is difficult to sum-up. Joyce Phyllis Horton was born in Warren on Christmas Day 1928. Her proud parents owned and ran the local Commercial Hotel. The story goes that, the day being Christmas, the pub was packed with shearers enjoying a few beers and Grandma’s famous cooking. A roast lunch was presented, Grandma took leave as she had a belly pain, went upstairs, gave birth to a daughter, and promptly returned downstairs to serve up dessert! They were tough in those days. The daughter, the Joy of Christmas was called Joyce and Joyce would become the joy for all. Loving parents and growing-up with 10 siblings meant many, many happy times being raised in the bush in the family home at Bonnington and later on the family farm at “Marra Warra”, they were special days indeed with her beloved parents, brothers and sisters. An extremely close loving family forever. Joyce was soon old enough to attend boarding school at St Scholastica’s in Sydney and made many lifetime friends whilst at schooling. Upon leaving school, she returned to Warren as a beautiful young lady. In fact, Joyce won two beauty awards, as “Ambulance Queen” of Warren and “Country Queen” of Cunnamulla. Joyce enjoyed her fi rst job as a governess to the Peskitt family, near Cunnamulla — a lifetime friendship remained. Upon returning to Warren, whilst nursing at the local hospital, a young man with a badly broken arm from a football match, caught Joyce’s attention, and it was then and there that she took the bold step to help him recover from surgery in Sydney. The pin in that arm was never removed, and neither was the newfound love between Jack and Joyce. Joyce Horton married Jack Saunders in Warren on the 2nd of February, 1954. Times were tough then too, as Jack and his brother built a family home at 1 Riverview Street. Soon enough, children started to be born in quick succession two daughters, Maureen Ann, Sharon Joy, and a son, Michael John. Three more sons were added to the growing family. James Stanley, Thomas Earl, and lan Francis. A loving husband and six beautiful health children are Joyce’s richest pride and joy. Living and growing-up in the bush meant plenty of adventures for all the family and friends.

but beware the ducks required special care while eating as often a pellet or two were present! During the hot summer holidays, the whole family would be found frolicking in the sand and surf at Manly Beach with their city cousins, a tradition that continues to this day. Whilst raising six kids and running the family home, Joyce was also kept busy as the enthusiastic local tourist information officer, organising and overseeing the many local balls, while also creating a richly-beautiful garden which was always an enjoyable part of daily life. She never kept still. Life is to be lived. Joyce loved many things, her family, the Horton family, the re-unions and get-togethers, were always enormously important and highly-entertaining. Joyce also loved her walking and the natural beauty of this world, and quietly poking around in her garden. Joyce also loved an adventure, especially her frequent trips discovering Australia — Tasmania, Kununurra, the Northern Territory, and Thursday Island, to name just a few, not to forget her many overseas travels to England, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, New Zealand, visiting the Vatican, and following in St Paul’s footsteps through Europe, and even backpacking through Africa at the age of 70. Yet another enormous part of Joyce’s life was her never-ending love and devotion to her religious faith, to our Lord and to his Church, teaching scripture and giving the Eucharist and the life-long friends she made within her faith gave her that inside glow, the strength and the

love that we all know and admire. As happens in life, it has its ups and downs. The family was dealt a devastating blow with the sudden and tragic loss of James in 1985, and yet another with the passing of dearest Jack in 1990. Joyce’s religion and family, helped her immensely in those darkest of days. Her cherished family has continued to change and grow as her own children grew older, met partners, and soon produced grandkids, great-grandkids and even great, great, grandkids! Known to all as ‘Great Gran”, her own dear brothers and sisters gave Joyce a great deal of pride and delight. Above all Joyce loved everyone and everyone loved Joyce. Steadily growing older did not bother her at all, she had her family, her friends, her faith, her health. We will always have a very special place for Joyce in our lives, she was always the life at any party, the rowdier and louder the better. Her compassion was endless. Joyce always had enormous amounts of time, advice, and a listening ear to all her friends, especially her many, many young friends. Joyce is the woman who we all admired and loved. Out-talked, out-walked, always exciting, and highly-excited. Our Joyce, Our Joy.” Joyce Phyllis Saunders December 25, 1928–July 9, 2024 St Mary’s Catholic Church, Warren, Friday, July 19, 2024

New $700,000 female-friendly facility, for girls’ sports boom same reserve to cover the funding gap. The Warren Public Arts Committee are also now seeking expressions-of-interest for the concept design of Aboriginal art on the new amenity’s façade to “honour” First Nations people, which will include signage in Aboriginal and English languages. Supporting and encouraging women in sport has become a major focus for local infrastructure, outgoing Warren Mayor, Councillor Milton Quigley said. “The contract was recently awarded to a local company, Precinct Building (Dubbo), so work is expected to begin pretty soon,” Cr Quigley said. “Which is a good thing; providing facilities that reﬂect the increased participation of girls in sport, is beneﬁcial to both women and the community generally,” he added. The facility will also include an outdoor access bathroom for people enjoying the park for a jog or exercise to use at other times, he added. “The new facility will have external access for toilet facilities at the new building. “This is for people taking

By DAVID DIXON BOOM in women’s sport for previously male-dominated codes in recent years, has been one of the positive trends in our otherwise increasingly-sedentary lives. Facilities, however, have not been as quick to catch-up with this new demand, with women’s teams often having to come-and-go from sports events in their playing gear. Warren Council is looking to overcome this issue with a new $700,000 female-friendly change-rooms and toilet block at the Victoria Park Precinct; with the new building to feature an Indigenous motif on the exterior, for good measure. While the new facility is to be situated adjacent to the netball courts in Victoria Park, they will also be available for a range of other sports that women are now making their mark in, including rugby union and junior league. In good news for girl’s sport generally, the commercial tender of $593,334 has been accepted to construct the Victoria Park female-friendly amenities block, with an additional $202,549 from the

FAITH MATTERS

Choose Wisely GOD’S greatest desire for us, is that we accept Him into our lives, accept His love for us, and follow Him faithfully, then get to spend time with Him, always obedient to His guidance. And yet, He does not use force to compel us to do as he desires. No! The choice is always ours. The onus is on us to accept or reject His gift. We can choose to leave out of the protective umbrella of His love or, driven by our own egotism, decide to pedal our own canoe. Yes, as with all the important decisions in our lives, the choice is ours. Making a wise choice is a great responsibili-

ty and not always easy. There are many things that inﬂuence our decision-making, our people, our emotions and the uncertainties, the circumstances at the time, and more. Haven’t you known times when you wished that someone else would make the decision for you? There is someone who would willingly do that. All you need to do is turn back to Him and ask. Yes, God is always ready to listen to our problems, to take the burden from us, to support us when we are feeling most alone. His love is always there for us, abundant and free, ours for the asking. The choice is ours. Are you ready to make it?

Nominations set to close for council election By SHARON BONTHUYS WITH nominations for the 2024 local government elections closing today, Wednesday, August 14, the electors of the Warren Shire will soon know who has put their hands up to represent the district. Nominations opened on August 5 and at the time of writing, the day before publication of the Warren Star, the NSW Electoral Commission website showed just ﬁve nominations from shire residents: A Ward - Pauline Serdity (Nevertire). B Ward - Sarah Derrett (Warren). C Ward - Mark Kelly (Warren), Joanne Van Eldonk (Warren). D Ward - Dirk McCloskey (Warren). More nominations are expected to be received before the nomination period closes today. Of those who have publicly put their hands up at the time of writing, Sarah Derrett is the current Deputy Mayor of Warren Shire, while Joanne Van Eldonk and Dirk McCloskey are current Councillors. The current Mayor of Warren Shire, Milton Quig-

ley, has indicated he will not be contesting the election, leaving the coveted position of Mayor up for grabs in the new council. With three councillor positions available in each ward of the Warren Shire, and 12 representing the council all up, small nomination numbers are not necessarily unusual. At the time of writing, in neighbouring Coonamble Shire, just four nominations have been received for nine positions, and in Bogan shire, only six nominations received. In Narromine Shire, however, where a strong public campaign in recent months protesting that council’s decision-making has urged residents to contest the election, nine nominations have been received for the available nine positions, with more set to come in the ﬁ nal day of the nomination period. We’ll have a full wrap up of nominations in next week’s Warren Star. And, with the next council meeting taking place on Thursday, August 22, those with an interest in civic matters might like to join me in the public gallery. It’s an early morning meeting so bring your coffee!

They could be doing anything else, but they hear football is on, and they come. They’re very proud people out here,” Outback NSWRF backrower and Brewarrina Golden Googars star, Thomas Conroy said. The money comes from a Labor Party election commitment to invest $500,000 in NSW Rugby League to host games in western NSW.

Lawdy Clawdy! Renowned trio turning country yarns, into songs of the bush By DAVID DIXON TURNING true tales of country life into song, is the aim of an ambitious musical project at three local venues over the weekend. “Lawdy Clawdy” is the improbable name for a trio of accomplished local musicians — Frances Evans and Greg and Bonnie Storer — who performed and heard amazing stories of resilience, humour, and meaning at Nevertire and Collie Hotels, and Warren Golf Club. For renowned classical violinist, Frances, who directs and conducts the bush youth orchestra, Symphonia Jubilate Outback, the venture has been a refreshing change of pace. “The name seemed to suit us, Greg calls it ‘dust music’ and we turned-up with him and his daughter Bonnie and myself on ﬁddle,” Frances said. “Greg actually thought of the name, ‘Lawdy Clawdy’ and it suits our folkie, indie, country feel; I absolutely love working with Bonnie and Greg to create a new sound,” she added. The weekend story-gathering, was about hearing local stories from local people that can then be transferred into a musical form for a mini-LP, also a new experience for Frances. “Greg has been writing magical songs for 30 years, he has a couple of ‘Golden Guitars’, he knows how to

spin a song that people can relate to. “We sort of all collaborate together, the three of us, in turning stories into songs,” Frances explained. She even admits to having a lash at solo songwriting herself, on a very touching subject. “I’ve mostly written one of them, it’s called ‘Frames on the Wall’. “It’s about how people have pictures on their walls of family members who have gone to war or are no longer with us, it’s very poignant,” Frances added. The whole initiative is being funded by a grant from the Foundation for Rural Regional Renewal (FRRR) and Outback Arts, as a way of memorialising the amazing experiences of everyday lives. “They’ve supported us to write and record an EP of original stories and folklore on Warren Shire, that’s why we held the three get-togethers across the weekend. “We had sessions at the Nevertire Hotel, the Collie Hotel and Warren Golf Club, where we encouraged people to tell us their stories and memories.” The trio are then working through these amazing yarns of bush life for an eight-song production to be released locally. “They can be of the young men and women who went off to war, police chases into town, funny events in their lives,” Frances said. “We’re working with renowned

Australian producer; James Gillard and he has had a long career ﬁ ne-tuning songs for recordings.” The concerts over the weekend provided an abundance of new material, but the three musicians aren’t letting the grass grow under their feet, Frances said. “We had about 100 people for all three events and heard some amazing stories, and we’re writing heaps of songs. “We’re going to start recording by the end of the year, and look to launch early next year, after which we’ll do a ‘small halls’ tour of the region, which I’m really looking forward to.” Leaving her career in Melbourne with world-accomplished clarinettist husband, Nick to return to the family farm, Frances believes, there’s no place like home. “We all have our trials and tribulations, triumphs, challenges and burdens, it can be a hard life in the bush. “But none of us want to live anywhere else,” she enthused. For locals who missed the three events over the weekend but still have a tale to tell, Frances says it’s not too late. “If anyone has a story they’d like to share, why not drop into Ellerslie Lane on Dubbo Street, and have yarn and a chat with Bonnie,” Frances said. “Get a coffee, if you’ve got a story to share, we’d love to hear it.”

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK ral Member Federal for Parkes arkes

Chaffey’s campaign begins OUR Nationals’ candidate for Parkes Jamie Chaffey, has wasted no time getting out and about in the electorate following his preselection. Last week, he joined me and the federal Leader of The Nationals, David Littleproud in Dubbo, to mark the start of his campaign trail. We met with local businessman, John Walkom, and inspected the progress of the new residential apartment block at No. 1 Church Street. This project is very exciting for Dubbo, and is evidence of the growth the city is experiencing. We also caught-up with Chamber of Commerce members, Matt and Kristen Smith from Lazy River Estate, to chat to them about the challenges of running a small business during the current costof-living crisis, and we also visited the critical minerals project site at Toongi which will have national signiﬁcance for a range of existing and future technologies. The three of us also attended RDA Orana’s Resources Energy and Industry Innovation Forum, where I had the pleasure of providing the

opening address. These few days are just the beginning for Jamie. He’s got a lot of work ahead of him over the coming months to win over the electorate, but I’m conﬁdent he has what it takes to be an effective Member. David and I will do everything we can to support him in his campaign to be elected.

Boost for emergency relief providers THERE are currently so many families doing it tough as a result of the rising cost of living, so I’m pleased that emergency relief providers across the Parkes electorate, have received additional funding to help meet an increased demand for their services. Anglican Community Services, Best Employment Limited, Armidale Centacare New England North West Limited, Armidale Neighbourhood Centre Incorporated, Anglicare NSW South, NSW West and ACT, Lower Lachlan Community Services Incorporated, Winmalee Neighbourhood Centre Incorporated, St Vincent De Paul Society NSW, and the Salvation Army NSW Property Trust will each receive additional funding to service their respective communities in the New England North West, Far West, and Orana and Central West regions. Hopefully, these services will be able to use this extra funding to provide additional support to those in need across our communities.

Grants to improve aged care services AGED care providers in the Parkes electorate have until Thursday, August 29 to apply for funding to deliver more residential care beds or upgrade existing facilities under the Aged Care Capital Assistance Program. This program aims to increase access to quality aged care services for First Nations communities, those living in regional, rural and remote areas, and people with complex and diverse needs, including dementia. Up to $200 million is available for new residential care services, or an expansion, upgrade or refurbishment of an existing residential aged care service. It’s so important that our rural communities have access to aged care services so that our elderly and those in need of care can remain in their hometowns close to loved ones.

From left, Federal Nationals Leader, David Littleproud; Kristen Smith from Lazy River Estate; Nationals’ candidate for Parkes, Jamie Chaffey; Matt Smith from Lazy River; and Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton in Dubbo.

New program for live music venues A NEW program to support live music venues and music festivals is currently open. The Revive Live program aims to provide support to established live music venues and music festivals to assist them to continue operating in the current climate, limiting venue closures and event cancellations, and stimulating long-term sustainability. Grants of $5000 and more are available to Australian-owned organisations that have a primary purpose to host live public performances

of original music. This program is Labor’s replacement of the Live Music Australia program which was established by the former Coalition government as a COVID-19 stimulus and had supported a number of pubs in the Parkes electorate.

Unfortunately, pubs and clubs are not eligible to apply for this new program, which excludes organisations that receive income from gambling and those for which delivering live music is a secondary function.

DUE to changes in site conditions, an additional $81,000 has been allocated to upgrade the Warren War Memorial Swimming Pool amenities and club room. In good news for girls’ sport, Precinct Commercial’s tender of $593,334 has been accepted to construct the Victoria Park female-friendly amenities block, with an additional $202,549 from the same reserve to cover the funding gap. Warren Public Arts Committee are also seeking expression of interest for the concept design of Aboriginal art on the

new building’s façade. This will honour First Nations people and include signage in Aboriginal language and English.

Three councillors, GM approved for LG conference THERE’S not many perks in local government for our hard-working councillors and staff, though approval has been granted for the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, one other councillor, and the General Manager, to attend the 2024 Local Government NSW Annual

IN mid-July, a number of councillors attended the Marra Field Day to staff a Council information stand. In the past month, Council also hosted visits by Regional Transport and Roads Minister, Jenny Aitchison; and State Member for Barwon, Roy Butler, to discuss projects such as Warren roundabout reconstruction, Gunningbar Creek railway bridge replacement, and roads grant funding, and state highway rest area improvements. Council also hosted visits by Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton and the Shadow Minister for Trade and Tourism, Kevin Hogan MP; in which matters including economic development and visitation, road funding by the Com-

monwealth Government, and ﬂood damage works timing, were discussed. Councillor Andrew Brewer and General Manager, Gary Woodman also attended the ofﬁcial opening of the Warraan Widji Arts Centre.

Fixing flood-damaged roads COUNCIL received approval of its first submission for flood damage funding amounting to $6,076,500 to address issues from the September 2022 floods. Wet weather is delaying the rehabilitation of the SR 58 Nevertire–Bogan Road and reconstructing the SH 11 Oxley Highway ‘Milawa’ section. Efforts are underway to secure reimbursement for previous ﬂood damage repairs. Scoping is also underway for the gravel re-sheeting program and local roads, regional roads and urban roads bitumen reseal program to improve and maintain road infrastructure across the region. Read the latest Roads Report on Council’s website.

Multiple major capital works in progress MAJOR works on the Carter Oval Youth Sports Precinct, Warren Showground/Racecourse, and the Warren War Memorial Swimming Pool are nearing completion. Warren Airport Terminal project has also been completed, despite major delays. The terminal building now features a combined Aero Club training room with two office spaces, an entry foyer with a covered walkway, a kitchenette, and amenities, including a shower in the unisex accessible toilet. The airport terminal building will be officially opened on Thursday, August 22, by State Member for Barwon, Roy Butler, Warren Shire Mayor, Cr Milton Quigley. The Carter Oval Youth Sports Precinct amenities building project is forecast to be completed by September 2024. Construction of the exclusion fencing around the perimeter of the Showgrounds has commenced. Upgrades to Warren Memorial Swimming Pool's amenities, change rooms, canteen, and clubhouse, including modern "all access" facilities, are expected to be completed by mid September.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT

New agreement to benefit NSW councils TH E peak body for local government in NSW and the State Government have of f icially sig ned a new co operation ag reement aimed at streng thening councils and providing more stability for communities. Local Government NSW (LGNSW) President, Cr Darriea Turley AM, signed the 2024-2027 Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with NSW Premier Chris Minns and NSW Local Government Minister Ron Hoenig last Thursday. It replaces a previous IGA that existed between 2019 and 2023. The IGA sets out key principles for a partnership between the two spheres of government to improve social, economic, environmental and civic outcomes for communities across NSW. It also outlines roles and responsibilities and how the two levels of government agree to work together, as well as detailing their commitment to jointly advocate to the Federal Government on critical community issues and policies that beneﬁt NSW. Cr Turley said the new agreement demonstrated the ongoing strength of the relationship between LGNSW and the NSW Government. “I ﬁ rmly believe genuine and sustained progress can only be achieved when all levels of government work together,” Cr Turley said.

“A formalised agreement between councils and the NSW State Government reaffirms the equal partnership needed to deliver excellent outcomes for our communities. LGNSW has worked hard, as has the NSW Government, to build a strong relationship so we can deliver these outcomes,” she added. The new IGA focuses on strengthening the financial sustainability of councils, commitment to democratic local government, and ongoing collaboration. Highlights include minimising the impact of cost-shifting and a review of the rate peg [which determines how rates are set] in close consultation with LGNSW and councils. The NSW Government also committed to no progression of council mergers or boundary changes not requested by councils for the term of the agreement, as well as returning councils under administration to democratically elected representatives as soon as practicable. Cr Turley said the new agreement affirms both levels of governments’ commitment to collaboration, continuous improvement and innovation, thanking Premier Minns and Minister Hoenig for their support. The LGNSW was looking forward to playing its part in the shared vision for NSW, in partnership with the State Government, Cr Turley said. “I anticipate even greater outcomes in the near future following this new agreement,” she concluded.

IT was a belated “Christmas In July” for the lovely ladies of Warren Spinners & Yarners at their annual mock-Yuletide event held at the Window on the Wetlands (WOW) Café last week. The celebration included gifts, tinsel, Christmas cheer, and bon-bons, to help recreate the festive season mid-year, a Club spokesperson said. “A most impressive festive set-up of tables and delicious food was enjoyed by all,” the spokesperson said. “The group also held a regular catch-up after a busy few months of knitting/crocheting baby blankets, jackets, beanies etc to send to the needy,” they added. Items from the Spinners are sent to Africa and within Australia for premature and Down Syndrome babies and also through local organisations, including Barnardo’s, for people in the Warren area.

Sport 2024 CHRISTIE AND HOOD CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE

Jets lag, Unicorns out, players off, in tumultuous first week of finals! By BRYSON LUFF THE half-time scoreboard in the First-Grade Qualifying Semi-Final being played at Cobar’s Tom Knight Oval, showed Narromine Jets down 30-0 in what was best described as a horror start to the game for the visitors. Whilst nothing ought to be taken away from Cobar’s dominant display in the opening 40 minutes, it should be acknowledged that the Jets contributed to the Roosters’ domination on the scoreboard. They did through some wayward passing and kicking, that resulted in three long-range tries, all converted, being scored by the red, white, and blues. In terms of scoreboard activity, the second half slowed down somewhat, with an additional 12 points being scored by the home side, including a fourth try to Cobar’s highly-talented young gun Reece Josephson, while the Jets managed to break their duck after three quarters of the match had elapsed, with a belated converted try for a fi nal score of 42-6. If the sad state of the fi nal scoreboard was not enough to exasperate the Jet’s faithful, the ill-discipline shown by a couple of their players in the last 10 minutes of the match, resulting in a sin-binning and a send-off. These infractions will make them even more nervous about their prospects of progressing any further in the 2024 Christie and Hood Castlereagh League fi nals series. They live to fight another day, however, that being next Sunday when they will host the Gulgong Terriers in the do-or-die Minor Semi-Final at Cale Oval. This match-up follows the Terriers just scraping home against a courageous Coonabarabran Unicorns outfit in the Elimination Semi played at Gulgong on Sunday. The game was more notable, however for exploding in the 25th minute of play when a melee erupted resulting in two Coonabarabran players and one Gulgong player, all being sent off. It could be argued that the extraction of those three players from the field, actually contributed to what afterwards a free-flowing match for the remaining 55 minutes, with Coonabarabran, in particular, opting to move the ball wide on many an occasion. In fact the match ended-up being a thriller, with the scores being locked-up on two occasions and the lead changing hands four times, before the Terriers managed to just get home 34 to 30. Over the weekend, other grades also produced some great games, not the least of

PHOTO: COBAR WEEKLY. which was the Youth League match played at Cobar between Narromine and Binnaway where extra time was required to get a winner after the two sides were lockedup 8-8 at the end of regulation time. The Bombshells went-on to claim a tense 14-8 win in extra time, to see them advance to the Minor Semi-Final. Another stand-out game was the Ladies League Tag fi xture between Gulgong and Baradine at Gulgong on Sunday, with the Terriers holding-off a late charge from the Magpies to win 16-10. Finals action continues this weekend with the unbeaten Coolah Kangaroos hosting the Cobar Roosters in the Major Semi-Final at Coolah on Saturday. After their dominant display against the Jets last Saturday, the Roosters might fancy their prospects of being the fi rst team to ground the ‘Roos in what should be a hard-fought match in front of a bumper crowd. The Minor Semi-Finals will be played at Narromine on Sunday, with the First-Grade fi xture involving the battered Jets up against the Gulgong Terriers. This will be a real test for both sides and, while Gulgong will go into the match as laststart winners, they would be well-aware that they only just gaining entry into the game, after they were fully-stretched

by a Coonabarabran outﬁt that played almost three-quarters of the match with one-less player than the Terriers. Meanwhile, Narromine will have to regroup after their dismal showing at Cobar last Saturday, a performance that they would be pleased to put behind them. Gulgong is the only club that still has all four grades playing in the semis, with their Youth League side being up against Cobar at Coolah on Saturday whilst on Sunday at Narromine, their Reserve Grade team will be playing the Baradine Magpies, and their Ladies League Tag team takeon the Coolah Flyers. Apart from the Youth League game, the lower grade action at Coolah on Saturday will involve Binnaway and Gilgandra playing in the Reserve Grade, and League Tag will involve the undefeated Narromine Jets and the Dunedoo Swannettes, taking the ﬁeld in what will be a replay of their epic 2023 Grand Final match-up.

RACING NG ORT REPORT By COLIN HODGES

By COLIN HODGES SERIOUSLY injured earlier this winter when kicked by a horse, Dubbo trainer Connie Greig has bounced back to win the $22,000 Nutrien Walsh Hughes Louth Cup on Saturday with the six-year-old black mare Kalpana. Kalpana entered the barriers as an $8 chance with most of the 18 bookmakers, with the Rodney Robb, Nyngan trained Notabadidea starting the $3 favourite ahead of Ocean Honour ($3.40) which had won the previous two starts at Gatton and Ipswich in Queensland before being transferred to the Brett Robb stable at Dubbo.

Greig bounces back from serious injury to train 2024 Louth Cup winner Cobar Cup winner Dancing In The Sky, in front of a huge crowd at the famous NSW outback meeting, led down the straight for the ﬁ rst time in the 2000 metres Cup, with Kalpana settling off the pace in a fast run race. Rated amongst the leading jockeys in the country areas, Mikayla Weir was riding at Louth for the first time and she saved Kalpana for a late run. In an exciting ﬁ nish, Kalpana reached the lead over the concluding stages to win by less than a length from Ocean Honour (Georgina McDonnell) and Notabadidea ridden by Shayleigh Ingelse. First leg of a winning treble for Connie Greig and a double for Mikayla Weir was Real Salty in the 1000 metres Bourke Steel and

Hire Class One Handicap. After racing outside the leader, Real Salty ($2.80) scored a hard fought win over Kimo (Ken Dunbar, $3.40) and Savvy Statement ($2.80) ridden by Shayleigh Ingelse. The other winner for Connie Greig was Individualist ($3.40 favourite) which responded to powerful riding by Andrew Banks to wear down stablemate Chookster (Mikayla Weir, $4.60) and Dhyani (Ken Dunbar, $7) in the 1400 metres Shindys Inn Class Two Handicap. Dubbo based apprentice Shayleigh Ingelse also had a good day, landing a winning double on Cashmere Inn and D’Arpano. Leading most of the way, the Stephen Dixon, Tamworth trained Cashmere Inn

($4.60) was a half-length winner of the 1000 metres Port Of Bourke Hotel Maiden Plate from Kingzan (Andrew Banks, $17) and Power Of Hope (Ken Dunbar, $3.50 favourite). Part-owned by Chris Davis and John De Lyall who play prominent roles with Dubbo Turf Club and trained by Brett Robb, D’Arpano returned to form in the 1200 metres Arrowﬁeld Stud Benchmark 50 Handicap. Mr Pointer led by three lengths before D’Arpano ($3.20 favourite) swept home from midﬁeld to account for Lenroy (Andrew Banks, $12) and Distinctive Glory (Billy Cray, $4). Trained at Dubbo by Clint Lundholm for Kathryn and Todd Smith, Oojah Capow ($3), well-ridden by Wendy Peel, turned for home with a slen-

der lead and fought on gamely to hold out Penique (Billy Cray, $6) by a half head with the $1.70 favourite Fireﬁ nch (Shayleigh Ingelse fading to third in the 1400 metres Rice’s Back O’ Bourke Cordials Splashe Cola Maiden Handicap. Muswellbrook trainer Krissie Simpkins who had earlier placings with Distinctive Glory and Penique, won the ﬁnal event, the 1700 metres Sullivans Mining & Industrial and Great Western Hotel Cobar Benchmark 45 Handicap with Chowdah.

Bursting through the pack, Chowdah (Billy Cray, $4.60) arrived in time for a close win over Peak Road (Shayleigh Ingelse, $7) and the Victorian trained Lord Percy (Jessica Brookes, $5).

Warren Pumas battle Galahs, in last regular season round By HARRY GAYNOR FINAL round of the Western Plain’s Rugby Union regular season witnessed the Warren Rugby Pumas battling the Gulargambone Galahs on a drizzly Friday evening at Gilgandra. With a women’s team bursting into fi nals as serious premiership contenders, and a Men’s team who were making a late season burst in confidence, the Galah’s were not going to make Warren’s transition into the Final series, an easy one. The Pumarettes set foot upon the field for the last time this season, after being fi fth on the ladder and too-far out of Final’s contention due to points differentials. Yet, the ladies were determined to make a final stand against their rivals to make-up for the previous streak of losses. The game involved the Flamin’ Galahs boasting some of the fastest and most-evasive players in the competition versus the Pumarette’s aggressive defence right from the first whistle. Alison Ruskin-Rowe led from the front, throwing her size and banter around persistently to throw the opposition into a thread of frustration. Nursing a broken finger, Harriet Shuttleworth also led

with the tactic of early kicks to maintain field position. Solid chasing and a slippery surface, then led to the Gular fullback starting to make some mistakes. Warren then gained great field position for the entirety of the fi rst half due to this tactic. Eventually, a loose ball was swooped upon by the captain Ruskin-Rowe, evading two defenders to go over for the fi rst points. The Warren coach, however, was too caught-up in the emotion of the moment, and forgot to locate the kicking tee! Yet the golden boot of Shuttleworth was able to lace a drop-kick over from the sideline for an important conversion. The Flamin’ Galahs were then eager to hit back and, almost instantaneously, their star fullback started to make headways by dodging her way across the right wing. Their generous supply of reserves then allowed them to keep applying this pressure and eventually they were able to score a try in reply after half-time. Not long afterwards, they were then able to also utilise their star fullback to swerve her way around the entire Pumarette defensive line for an incredible individual try. The Pumarettes, with only one reserve on the bench, were exhausted to say the least by

the ﬁ nal quarter. Yet they found every inch of energy to put on a superb defensive display until the end. Frustrations ran high in the Gulargambone camp as the diving efforts of Kaitlin Staniforth, Abby Standing, and Michelle De Graag, were able to hold-off multiple attempts at the try-line. Eventually the fresh legs of Gulargambone were able to cross over for two late tries, stretching their lead to 22-7 at fulltime. The Pumarettes were able to hold their heads high in defeat, showing-up and playing a full-game for the latter half of the season, when their team was marred by numerous injuries and sickness. The Men’s side then ran-on for a chance to clinch an undefeated Minor Premiership to complete a resilient season of defending their 2023 title. With some key players missing due to sickness and small injuries that need maximum rest before ﬁ nals, there were some challenges ahead for everyone to become cohesive in their roles across the park. Gulargambone displayed an admirable mindset from the kick-off, which was to be as physical as possible against the Black-and-White. A slight shower of rain descended upon the Oval as the game started, making the forward packs delighted with

the challenge ahead. Defence was solid from both sides early on, pressure the ball-runners to make numerous handling mistakes. The Tri-Colours were then able to make a statement by dominating the fi rst three scrums, yet the Pumas countered with their ever-reliable kicking duo of Hugh McLean and Hagan Size to assert a strong field position. Eventually the backline were able to complete some phases to allow winger Isaiah Darcy over for first points. Hagan Size slotted the conversion 15-metres in from the sideline, the fi rst of many attempts he would be allocated with on the night. Warren continued to dominate the fi rst half, with some severe defensive efforts from Gulargambone around the ruck and scrums, yet the pace and momentum of Warren’s outside backs, kept carrying the Pumas into attacking territory. Numerous tries to both Hagan Size, David Pagan, and Isaiah Darcy, allowed the Pumas to gain a solid lead of 33 points after 35 minutes. Yet, the Galah’s were determined to make their last contest of the season worth it, and drove their forwards down field. Numerous penalties against a tiring Warren almost led to a penalty try, but Gular’s superstar Num-

ber Eight, Mitch Graham, willed his way over to ensure points for Gular at halftime.

The second half ensued much the same as the ﬁ rst, with some brilliant backline hands allowing inside centre, Dave Jenkins, to join-in on the party and score some points. Gulargambone’s forwards continued to remain formidable in their scrums, and even started to frustrate the Warren side by stealing some lineouts.

Warren’s interchange saw a fresh backline rejuvenate some speed for the fi nal 15 minutes, giving some energy for a fi nal two tries that stretched the fi nal score to 53-5 in Warren’s favour.

Gulargambone were applauded for a season that saw them rebound from a winless start to fi fth position on the ladder, a terrific result for a team boasting a very young side with a promising future. The win secured the Puma’s grip on the Minor Premiership, undefeated for the year going into finals, a huge boost for their confidence.

Next week, they have a bye as Nyngan and Bourke battle out the ﬁ rst Semi-Final. The Pumas will then face Walgett in the Major Semi-Final on Saturday, August 24, at Victoria Oval.
