Grandstand will stay But now it’s up to Balaklava community to plan oval future

Clowns prove history is a barrel of laughs Clowns have always been part of history – and that’s why Balaklava Drama Club was one of the performers at Urlwin Park for its SA History Week displays on Sunday. The group is working towards the Eisteddfod and at present is experimenting with clowning as an art form. Clowning around (from left, rear) are Abby Clisby, Gabrielle Wink and Emma Mahony.

The historic grandstand at Balaklava’s Ralli Park oval will remain.

And it is hoped to have the stand available for use for the Adelaide Plains Football League semi final game and Balaklava show in September.

At a meeting last Thursday, sports and community group representatives resolved to take immediate measures to reinstate the stand as a public facility.

The meeting, chaired by Wakefield Regional Council CEO, Phil Barry, considered a report by Mace Engineering which outlined remedial processes for the stand, now just over 100 years old.

• Mr Barry and council’s environmental services manager, Elca McCarthy are shown at right inspecting the stand last week.

Engineer Trevor Mace gave an estimated minimum cost of $163,000 to bring the building back to acceptable condition.

It has been closed to the public after its steps were removed for safety reasons last year.

Representatives at the meeting decided to initiate a plan to tackle the more immediate problems of damaged seating, defeating and clean-up of the pigeon menace and replacing access steps.

The more costly restoration to remove and repair salt damp and cracking and any other structural work would become part of a long-term plan.

Council will now move quickly for a further engineer’s report to assess structural areas presently hidden from view under the seating area. White ant treatment is also likely to be required.

Council CEO, Phil Barry, said the long term sustainability of the stand had to be considered.

Things are happening – but will you join in?

T

HERE’S been a bit of activity around the traps over the past few weeks.

Often life just seems to tick along, with no real evidence of what is brewing within our communities.

Fortunately, behind the scenes many of us are badgering away.

Today, Owen’s Joy Woodroofe finally will see some results for her ambitious “Adopt-a-Town” project to engage Victoria’s bushfire-affected townships with ours here on the Adelaide Plains.

Joy and her committee, through talking to community representatives across the border, now have a recognised goal, a list of requirements which groups here can act upon.

More will come from the meeting in Balaklava today and we will keep you informed through the Plains Producer of any projects requiring your assistance.

However, I can tell you right now three items on Joy’s list are absolute stand-outs.

Feed and fencing are immediate and ongoing requirements ...

MY VIEW

Terry Williams

EDITOR Editor@plainsproducer.com.au and, believe it or not, firewood!

We all knew the bushfire recovery process would take time to gather strength – and now it is time for us to stop the talk and really start to do something.

In fact, one group of farmers and transporters already have sent feed to Victoria. They have knuckled down and done it. Once seeding is out of the way, one would hope more members of our farming community can become involved. o It is similar community en-

gagement that is required to start the restoration process for Balaklava Oval grandstand.

You will read more of this in today’s columns, where Yours Truly is quoted in another capacity.

Which means I won’t double up here – except to say if any speedy progress on the grandstand is to be made, then we should consider it a community project.

Certainly, it is sporting clubs and patrons which will benefit from the grandstand and one could suggest it is the responsibility of the members of those clubs to tackle its refurbishment.

Doubtless that is what will happen. But now, having decided it should stay, then surely all of us who use it should pitch in to help its revitalisation.

Will it be those who strongly voiced their opposition to knocking it down? It should be.

I will admit to being the Devil’s Advocate when debate on its future arose last year. Keep it or crunch it?

Now the people have spoken.

Planners tour Balaklava ernment Urban Design Unit senior project officer, Craig Grocke, said Balaklava’s plan could be broken into two components.

The first was a detailed design development looking at the town’s gateways, the triangle and town centre, and the oval/showgrounds/open space links.

“These components need detailed concepts to consult with community and business,”

demands on owners who really have no obligation to do any more than keep buildings and shopfronts reasonably presentable and safe.

It is not so much their outside appearance, rather than the impression they present to visitors to the town.

Balaklava – “the place not to be”.

Ghost town.

We all know that is not so, but there’s no escaping the harsh realities of business. It just ain’t easy out there!

Perhaps what Balaklava could do is take a leaf from Joy Woody’s book and “Adopt-A-Shop”.

Why not have various groups use the vacant premises as promotion points for their particular passion?

The Eisteddfod, Community Arts, Courthouse Gallery (why not a continuing exhibition spread across several shops?), school art and examples of VET projects. Even large displays of Wakefield Regional Council projects like CWMS schemes and so on?

Is it possible? Would the owners agree?

Let’s see what develops.

Community call over grandstand

Wakefield Regional Council met will staff from the Department of Planning and Local Government in a bid to progress the Balaklava Urban Design Framework and Masterplan.

The meeting took place last Thursday, and council and planning staff discussed which components of the Balaklava Masterplan may be eligible for funding.

Yet even today I still can see merit in creating grassy mounds, shade sails and temporary stands (for use by various groups) to further enhance facilities.

I can also see an enlarged sports club adding a second level so the old stand eventually is morphed into the club itself.

Bridge the gap between the current club and the stand and build a glassed in viewing/dining area where some of the seating now exists. Who needs all those seats?

Rarely, if ever, will the stand be at capacity – but we must ensure it becomes a multi-use facility. We cannot allow its restoration to again fall into disrepair, with a “My View” article in 10 years lamenting the stand’s demise into a ruined eyesore. o Speaking of which, there’s scuttlebutt doing the rounds that suggests locals are none too happy about the presentation of some empty shops in Balaklava’s George and Wallace streets.

That seems a reasonable observation – but it is most difficult to make

Mr Grocke said. “The components like hard and soft landscaping designs create a ‘sense of place’ or the feel of a specific precinct.”

Mr Grocke said this could include street furniture, public art, signage and lighting, and included not only an agreed design but also detailed cost estimates.

The second component of the masterplan, according to Mr Grocke, was policy development.

“This is more about developing, or in some

cases reviewing and advancing policy for the design of the public realm,” he said.

“This often constitutes ‘design guidelines’ and ‘desired future character statements’ which can be employed in the Development Plan Amendment process.”

Mr Grocke said the Urban Design Framework and Masterplan could become a more detailed referral document to backup the Development Plan when assessing development applications.

• From Page 1 “It must be remembered ongoing maintenance will be required,” he said.

“Priorities need to be decided and a long term plan – with short term targets – instigated.”

Engineer’s estimated costs for the “high priority” repair work outlined for early stages amount to about $40,000.

However, members of the meeting were hopeful this cost could be reduced by voluntary and “in-kind work by the various groups who might use the grandstand.

Members at the meeting last Thursday included council officers, councillor Maurice Tiller, representatives from Balaklava Sports Club, Balaklava Football Club, Ralli Park Authority, Balaklava Show Society and Balaklava Area Committee.

These groups – and others involved in the sporting area of Ralli Park – will be asked to attend another meeting at 8pm on Wednesday, June 3, facilitated by

Balaklava Area Committee.

On the agenda at that meeting at Balaklava Sports Club would be the formulation of working parties to meet initial restoration objectives, with a completion deadline of August 31.

The APFL second semi final will be played at Balaklava on Saturday, September 5.

Incoming Balaklava Area Committee chairman, Terry Williams, said he had called the meeting to bring all groups together not just to “plan a working bee” but to plot a course for the future.

“I believe everyone wants to see facilities grow at Balaklava Oval – but we must set realistic goals and achievable targets,” he said.

“The grandstand has evoked much local comment and emotion and I would like to see its planned rebirth become a community project – not something which should be foisted totally onto sporting groups.

“We can involve all members of the Balaklava community – young

and old – in this project because it is something which will be used by everyone at some stage, even 50 years from now.”

Balaklava Area Committee, viewed by Wakefield Regional Council as the major representative body for all town organisations, would help facilitate the grandstand project, liaising with council and those groups involved.

It was expected council would be approached to assist with funding for the grandstand. Council has recognised the community value of Ralli Park in its Balaklava Masterplan.

However, some financial input from clubs would likely be required on a sliding scale of use.

Grant funding would be investigated.

Mr Williams said BAC would be asking all sporting groups using the Ralli Park area to supply their “wish list” of projects and immediate and long term plans.

“I know many already have this in place and it might seem as if we are covering old ground, but it is now necessary to seriously lock in some objectives,” he said.

“The grandstand is the starting point; a basis for any long-term vision promoting multi-functional use and co-operation between groups.

“I am hoping all parties will bring diplomacy and an air of compromise to our meetings because to achieve anything we have to work together to show governments across all levels we have a common goal.

“But let’s not just continue to procrastinate.

Let’s get started.”

Market gardens water win An extra three billion litres of recycled water will be delivered to at least 40 market gardeners in the Virginia-Angle Vale area each year following completion of the extension of the Virginia-Angle Vale recycled water scheme.

The $6.6 million, 20 kilometre extension, jointly funded by the Federal and State Governments will see the transfer of high quality wastewater from the Bolivar treatment plant to irrigators.

Chief executive officer of Grow SA, Mike Redmond said

the water supplied by the pipeline meant the horticultural sector in the Virginia triangle was effectively drought proofed.

“This will mean our farmers can continue to produce food to feed our state no matter what the rainfall, which is a very important and positive outcome for the area,” he said.

The pipeline will provide security for growers and in some cases allowing them to expand their operations.

Mr Redmond said it was a ridiculous situation for Australia

to be importing food and challenged the Premier and Prime Minister to invest in infrastructure to allow for extension to the area between Two Wells and Malalla.

In 2007, a Blueprint for the Horticulture sector on the Adelaide Plains, identified the area for an expansion of both field vegetables and greenhouse production, which could quite easily be achieved with an investment in infrastructure.

Soil tests have shown more than 65 per cent of the Adelaide

Plains has soil suitable for horticulture production and Mr Redmond estimated an investment of between $100 million and $200 million, (rather than the billions currently being handed out), would provide a reliable water supply to the area and give the Government huge ‘bang for their buck.’

In announcing completion of the pipeline, Federal Minister for Climate Change and Water, Senator Penny Wong, said 18 gigalites of recycled wastewater were now being used from Bolivar.

Call for Community Members to join the Lower North NRM Group Are you interested in natural resources management (NRM)? Would you like to represent the community as a Lower North NRM Group Member?

The Board invites local women and men who would like to represent their local area and are interested in natural resources management to become a member of the Lower North Group. The Group is responsible for providing advice to the Board, and working with the local community and stakeholders.

Community members that have knowledge about one or more natural resources management issues such as animal and plant control, soil conservation, salinity control, biodiversity enhancement and/or water resources management are particularly encouraged to apply.

The closing date for expressions of interest is Wednesday 15 July 2009. For further information please phone 8636 2361.

Education and engagement are key tools for success At a recent Lower North NRM Group meeting, the members agreed that education and engagement are key tools to be used in NRM Programs.

The Group believes that Natural Resources Management is a broad and complex area which requires involvement of everyone from young children to adults. They believe that the best way to encourage participation is by ensuring people understand what NRM is about, and showing them what they can do to manage natural resources on their properties and in their local communities. The Group is currently working on a number of programs relating to the eradication of rabbits, control of African Boxthorn and Creeping Knapweed and feral deer management.

To find out more about the Group and their activities please phone 8636 2361.

The Balaklava community joined forces to raise $4000 for cancer last week by tucking into a yummy morning tea.

Balaklava Lion and community woman Kossie Chegwyn has been organising the morning tea since 1999, and said

the total fundraising tally would now reach $39,000.

She said the event would be impossible without volunteers to cook the food and help on the day.

And businesses also play their role, donating prizes for a raffle.

“None of them think twice about it,” Kossie said.

She is quick to put the success of the fundraiser back to the strong community support.

This year, 37 deliveries of morning tea were made, along with 157 dining-in at

Balaklava Primary School also hosted a morning tea last Wednesday, adding its fundraising to the tally.

Morning teas will be held in Mallala and other towns this week. n Even though numbers were down, Owen held a very successful Biggest Morning Tea on Friday May 22 in the Community Church Hall.

In a café style setting, those who attended enjoyed a delicious array of home-baked goodies and helped raise $394.70 for the Cancer Council. Tea towels from various towns in Australia and overseas, were on display.

Rabbits and African Boxthorn targeted in control programs Board staff in the Lower North region, are working closely with the community on the rabbit control mapping project. In the Avon District, 24,900ha has been surveyed whilst 1428 warrens and 6791 holes have been mapped. In the Watchman District, 19,100ha has been surveyed whilst 932 warrens and 3045 holes have been mapped. Extensive areas of African Boxthorns have also been removed along the Broughton River.

For further information about these programs please contact the Board on 8636 2361.

Revised Water Allocation Plan for the Clare Valley Prescribed Water Resources Area Falling groundwater levels, groundwater salinity and the impacts of the connectivity between groundwater and surface water will all be addressed under the revised Water Allocation Plan (the Plan) for the Clare Valley Prescribed Water Resources Area. The Plan identifies important policy changes which will help ensure the future sustainability of the region’s groundwater resource.

This includes the conversion from area based water allocations to volumetric allocations to enable the sustainable transfer of water entitlements between users to ensure the highest and best use of available water. The Plan also addresses concerns about the ability of surface water runoff to sustain irrigation requirements while protecting watercourses and dependent ecosystems through adequate watercourse flow. The Board has appointed a Water Officer to help implement the Plan. Community education and awareness activities will include field days, Waterwatch activities, workshops and fact sheets.

For further information about the Plan please phone 8636 2361.

Community support is being sought for repairs to the footbridge across the Port Wakefield tidal water hole, a popular swimming destination.

With every tide 2.5 metres or higher, several sleepers are dislodged, resulting in dangerous gaps in the bridge.

Because of general wear and shrinkage to the sleepers, they are in poor condition and not able to be fixed to the bridge.

Port Wakefield Community Management Committee has been investigating options for repair, and after receiving a quote to replace the existing bridge with a new one conforming to Australian standards for $40,000, have decided to instead retain the existing design.

But unless the bridge is brought up to current standard for bridge construction, external funding cannot be sought, leaving it to the community to chip in and help.

The CMC has called on community members to purchase one or more sleepers to replace the existing ones, with a total of 150 new sleepers required.

They cost $25 for each non treated ironbark sleeper, and supporters will be acknowledged on a sponsor board.

Those purchasing sleepers can send their money and details to PW CMC, PO Box 573, Port Wakefield SA 5550 or pass it directly to committee chair Scott Kelly.

Off-road racers sidelined by theft Two men rising to the top of the fourwheel-drive off-road racing competition in South Australia have experienced a setback after vital equipment was stolen from their vehicle.

Nigel James and Steve Bartlett were storing the vehicle at Nigel’s workplace, Sharman Metaland, Long Plains, where Nigel was able to work on the vehicle through a sponsorship deal with Sharmans.

But between Wednesday, May 13 and Saturday, May 16, an engine computer and hand controller, tacho, and racing harnesses were stolen from the vehicle.

“It’s taken us six months to a year to build this car, and we’re pretty much back where we started now,” Nigel said.

The duo, with Steve at the wheel and Nigel navigating, have been up there with the best in the state, winning

the Mud Dust and Music race last year and coming second in the Riverland Challenge.

“We were starting to get quite competitive,” Nigel said.

He said the competition was a lot of fun.

“It’s very extreme, off-road four-wheeldriving,” Nigel said.

The men have been involved in the competition for three years, beginning about 42nd in the field and working their way to the top.

Now, they are transforming the truck in a bid to take on interstate competition.

“We have chopped the truck down from a wagon to an extra cab ute and have removed the standard six cylinder 3.2 petrol engine and put in a 350 injected Chev V8,” said Steve.

truck to run and drive.”

But the recent theft has thrown their plans into disarray.

“To lose the gear is

a big disappointment, as I believe when the truck is finished we will definitely be up there interstate,” Steve said.

The equipment wasn’t easy to come by, with Steve picking pumpkins in the Riverland just to pay for the

racing harnesses. And being specialist equipment, it may be difficult to replace.

“We could probably pick up a computer, but nothing’s really made or designed for our engine,” Nigel said.

“It’s got to be reprogrammed and would take a few months to get together.”

He said the computer may cost around $2000, and the race team was running on a minimal budget.

Nigel said off-road racing wasn’t just about completing the course as fast as possible.

“We have to get all the GPS points and collect bits and pieces along the way, or even catch a grasshopper,” he said.

“It makes it easier for the guys who haven’t got the speed or the horsepower because they can pick up points in other ways,” he said.

As well as increasing in popularity among competitors, the races also draw crowds of up to 500 spectators.

Nigel has asked the community to be aware that the stolen items may be offered for sale by the offenders.

Man jailed for crime spree A Lochiel man has been gaoled for a minimum of nine months after cutting the throat of a Maltese terrier during a crime spree.

Jay Andrew Gurr, aged 20, was sentenced to two years and nine months for a range of offences committed over a 17-month period, with a non-parole period of nine months (of which three months has already been served).

Judge Julie McIntyre handed down the sentence last week.

In addition to injuring the terrier at a birthday party in Snowtown in July 2007 (the dog required 10 stitches to its neck), Gurr carried out a home invasion targetting an elderly man in March 2008. Gurr also pleaded guilty in Port Augusta District Court to charges relating to illegal firearms possession and two police chases.

Police were called immediately, but the men had left. However, with an accurate description of the alleged offenders and the registration number of their vehicle, police from neighbouring districts were alerted and the men were caught near Port Broughton.

The weapon was found by Port Pirie patrols after a search of the area where the men were arrested.

• Offenders broke into two homes and a church on Saturday night, with one Port Wakefield resident at home during the breakin.

Mediterranean style ‘waterwise’ gardening “Mediterranean Gardening with a Waterwise Touch” was the topic discussed at Australian Plants Society, Brinkworth meeting last week.

Guest speaker, Merrilyn Kuchel, a member of the Mediterranean Garden Society, explained “Mediterranean” describes a climate with cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers, as experienced in some areas on the western coasts of North and South America, as well as around the Mediterranean basin and Western and South Australia.

The areas are also characterised by thin soils with low fertility – a situation familiar to local gardeners! Illustrating her talk with images of beautiful gardens in South Australia and elsewhere, Ms

Kuchel described the physical characteristics to look for, to recognise plants that thrive in these places and are, thus, “waterwise”.

She emphasised that Mediterranean Garden Society members are fully aware that some of the plants they favour have the potential to become environmental weeds when conditions become milder, and members are vigilant in keeping those plants away from drains, waterways and verges and they remove and destroy berries and seeds that may be spread by birds.

The new influenza A virus contains components that originated in pigs as well as avian and human components.

Because of this, pigs may be infected by the virus if they come in contact with an affected person, but there have been no reports of the virus transferring from pigs back to people.

Currently, swine influenza in pigs in Australia has never been detected.

Buckland Park plan for public comment

The community has been invited to share its thoughts on the proposed 1340 hectare Buckland Park township.

The Buckland Park Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was released for public comment on May 1, and City of Playford has invited residents and stakeholders to attend an interactive community meeting, supported by the Virginia Residents Action Group.

The proposed township is located four kilometres west of Virginia, and will eventually be home to 33,000 people if it is approved.

The proposal includes a district centre, four neighbourhood centres and local centres including commercial facilities, a medical centre, schools, community and recreation facilities.

“It is important we understand what members of the community are thinking,” said Playford mayor Martin Lindsell.

“Consultation and community ideas gathered at the meeting will assist council in determining its position in relation to the Buckland Park proposal.

“It will also assist us in future planning of existing townships and the area as a whole.”

Mayor Lindsell said he encouraged community members to participate to ensure their views were heard during consultation.

The community meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 2 from 7pm to 9pm at Virginia Community Centre at the oval.

Independent council staff will be attending to help community members who would like advice on developing their own submission.

Copies of the EIS can be viewed at www.dplg. sa.gov.au/go/major-developments or at Playford Customer Service Centres at Elizabeth or Smithfield.

The consultation period ends at 5pm on June 15.

Conservation park?

Rubbish, stolen cars and bike riders ruin Port Gawler

? d i a s o Wh

By Lauren Parker Motorcyclists are treating the Port Gawler conservation park as a motocross track, damaging fences, destroying vegetation and ignoring the law.

Added to this is rubbish dumping, burnt out stolen vehicles, and destruction of the fragile coastal environment.

The Plains Producer visited the area last Wednesday to witness the destruction first hand.

Rubbish is dumped in the middle of the road and fences cut, flattened and incapable of preventing access to bikes.

At the old wharf, just metres away from a still-smouldering (and presumably stolen) vehicle sit three kingfishers - testament to the area’s importance as a breeding ground for hundreds of bird species.

The Port Gawler area is a known bird watching area, but unfortunately, is just as well known as a destination for those wanting to ride their motorbikes - often unregistered - off road.

The problem worsened when Port Gawler Off Road Hire Park was forced to close as insurance companies refused to quote for insurance.

While there has long been an issue of people using off road vehicles in inappropriate areas, the closure of the hire park left no alternative for riders.

Fences surrounding the Port Gawler

THIS burnt out vehicle was still smouldering when reporter Lauren Parker visited Port Gawler, while (LEFT) Mallala councillor Steve Kennedy attempts to explain park regulations to unidentified riders.

Conservation Park have been cut and flattened. Wide motorbike tracks are clearly visible through the park, and dumped rubbish litters the roadways and conservation park.

Two Wells councillor Steve Kennedy is appalled by the lack of respect for the conservation park, and has been lobbying Department of Environment and Heritage to rebuild fencing surrounding the park in a bid to reduce damage and illegal activity.

John and Lisa Maiolo, who own the off road hire park, said there would easily be 40 bikes in the conservation park on weekends.

“Sometimes I think we’ve got a motocross race out there,” John said.

A new operator has reopened many of the tracks at the off road hire park, which it is hoped will reduce off road traffic in the coastal environment.

Last weekend, Mr Maiolo estimated 50 people used the off road park on the Saturday and 70 on the Sunday.

Even early Wednesday morning councillor Steve Kennedy warned a group of youths that riding their unregistered bike in the area was illegal.

The excuse – “Look around. Does it look like no-one else does it?”

Signs at the conservation park clearly state the allowed activities of walking, sightseeing, birdwatching

Park bashers face tougher penalties People who trash public land by squatting, dumping rubbish, riding motorbikes through native vegetation and destroying sand dunes for development will face harsher penalties under changes to the State’s environmental laws.

The penalties, which include fines of up to $20,000, could apply to those damaging the fragile Samphire Coast, particularly at Port Gawler.

In addition to fines of up to $20,000 for the most serious offences, other expiation notices for offences will also apply.

Minister for Environment and Conservation, Jay Weatherill, said destruction of public land such as sand dunes, riverbanks and parklands cost State government and local councils enormous amounts in clean-up bills.

“These tough new penalties send a clear message that damaging our

environment in these ways is not acceptable,” he said.

“We’ve updated the legislation to increase penalties, but also cover more contemporary offences such as riding motorbikes off tracks through native vegetation.”

The Bill also requires the person who has caused damage to public land to fix it, or be liable for the costs.

“Dumping car bodies on public land, for example, not only costs money to clean up but also creates a haven for rabbits and foxes and increases the costs of pest control,” Mr Weatherill said.

“But before these changes, the maximum fine for any of these offences was just $100.

“Now expiation notices can be issued and very serious offences will attract fines of up to $20,000 through the courts.

Cash to Two Wells RSL Two Wells RSL sub branch is one of 13 organisations across the state to receive funding under the Veteran and Community Grants program.

Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Alan Griffin, announced the funding on Monday.

The branch will receive $9898 to purchase kitchen appliances and an entertainment system.

In total, more than $227,000 funding was allocated across the state to encourage veterans, war widows,

widowers and their families to become involved in local health and wellbeing activities.

“Veteran and Community Grants provide funding to local and community organisations to support their role in ensuring the veteran community have access to social and healthy services,” Mr Griffin said.

Community organisations interested in applying for funding are asked to visit www.dva.gov.au/health/grants or phone 1800 555 254 for more in-

and fishing, but banning camping, shooting and motorbikes. District Council of Mallala has erected signs on all its coastal access roads warning people the use of unregistered vehicles such as motorbikes is illegal on the coastline.

DEH response: The Department for Environment and Heritage (DEH) is aware of the situation at Port Gawler.

The Port Gawler Conservation Park consists almost entirely of mangroves and was proclaimed to protect the mangroves and the habitat they provide for a wide range of marine wildlife including many species of aquatic birds.

Dr Laurence Haegi, DEH Regional Conservator, Adelaide Region, said the area which was being damaged was unallotted Crown land outside the park and had been modified by previous land use.

“Although it therefore has lower nature conservation values, it still

has environmental significance,” he said.

“The sign advising visitors they are approaching the park is located on this Crown land. Rangers conduct regular patrols of the park and check on the Crown land areas while they are in the vicinity.

“It is a shame some members of the community continue to vandalise fences in order to gain access to the land, damage the vegetation and dump rubbish.

Remoteness of the area makes it impractical for DEH to maintain a constant presence.

Dr Haegi said rubbish was removed and fences repaired when damage came to DEH attention.

“DEH works with the South Australian Police, local councils and the Mount Lofty Ranges NRM Board to try to encourage the community to do the right thing, and we are currently considering a number of options to try to prevent people from cutting fence lines,” he said.

Lighthouse church builds on youth – and more

A successful youth group and growing congregation has led to Lighthouse Christian Church extending its building.

Work on the extension, shown above with members of the congregation, has already begun, and Pastor Rob Lawson said it would add an extra 7.5 metres to the width of the church.

The extension will boost seating capacity by up to 70, but Mr Lawson said there were also other benefits from the extension.

“Our youth group program has been going really well,” he said. “We’ve been packing up the chairs in the auditorium for youth group. Now we’ll be able to leave it set up for both groups.”

And in addition to the extensions, the kitchen area will also be renovated, making a more user-friendly space for church lunches and other events. “We’re certainly excited about it,” Mr Lawson said.

During the extensions, church has instead been held in a classroom at Horizon Christian

School, but Mr Lawson hopes they will be back in the church in early June, and expects the upgrades to be complete by the end of July.

The youth group, led by Lighthouse’s part time employee Andrew (Moo) Smith, meets on Fridays, with about 40 people gathering each fortnight.

We can start ‘adopting’ fire victims “Adopt-a-Town”, the scheme devised by Owen woman Joy Woodroofe to help Victorian bushfire victims, is swinging into gear.

Joy came up with the idea of local communities from the Wakefield Regional Council joining together to help similar communities in Victoria.

After three months of tracking down information, Joy’s small com-

mittee has locked onto the towns of Callignee, Koornalla, Le Roy and Traralgon South – all small communities south east of Melbourne.

The area had 187 homes/businesses destroyed by the fire and 11 people lost their lives. Callignee had all four of its public buildings destroyed. First contact with people in these towns was made via a Lions club regional newsletter.

After several phone calls, the “Adopt-a-Town” committee was able to contact Traralgon South resident Adam Lambert, who is a member of one of the district’s bushfire recovery committees.

Adam said: “No one else has offered any sort of help like this.”

He took the proposal to further meetings and last week advised the Adelaide Plains group: “Yes, we are

all enthusiastically in favour of being ‘adopted.’”

But now the real work starts on the Adelaide Plains to ensure we can help out in the best possible way.

Adam has provided a list of items which would be helpful (see details below). And now Joy has started spreading the word amongst local community groups.

A committee meeting is being held this morning (Wednesday) to plan and tackle logistics.

“As you can see, we now have some very practical ways in which we can help our neighbours over the border,” Joy said. “Obviously, we won’t be able to do all of them, but if we can get our heads together, we can surely make a dent in some.”

“Most immediate is to help cope with colder conditions now with them.

Who’s been eating porridge? – Pastor Jim Bryan, of Balaklava Lutheran church, surely wasn’t “Goldilocks” at Balaklava Community Children’s Centre (BCCC) recently – but he did sample some porridge when reading the story of the three bears to this happy group of youngsters. We’re not sure if Pastor Jim ate all that porridge before him, but it was a big hit for breakfast with the kids!

Pastor Jim often reads popular children’s stories at BCCC.

Making life easier for the washer woman Heritage Highlights

Many of us would remember our mothers and/or grandmothers slaving over a scrubbing board, and/or using a “copper stick” to haul boiling hot wet clothes out of the copper on wash day. What an absolute god-send it must have been when the washing machine became available at an affordable price.

The first washing machine is reported to have been invented in 1782 by H. Sidgier of Great Britain.

It consisted of a cage with wooden rods and a handle for turning. Based on this design, companies began producing hand operated washing machines in the mid 1800s; these machines featured paddles or dollies. James King produced the revolving drum in 1851 and this was followed by a revolving drum with reverse action, made by Hamilton

by Norma Schopp

Smith in 1858. There were also many types that used a manuallyoperated plunger - before the advent of agitators as we know them.

In the early 1900s, small electric motors brought the washing machine into the electric age, with Fisher producing the first electric model in 1906. The motor was bolted to the side of the machine and, while they worked reasonably well, they were not very safe as water often spilt over the side and into the motor or switch.

It was not until the 1930s that safety measures were properly addressed, with the drum being encased - after a few people had been “fried”.

The Bendix Corporation introduced the first fully automatic machine at a state fair in Louisiana in 1937; however, General Electric claim to have made the first fully automatic washer in 1947. It may be a case of defining exactly what was a “fully automatic” machine.

Spin dryers were added, as were machine mounted wringers, to replace the hand-operated mangle - life was getting much easier for the washer-woman - but safety was something that had to be learned (often painfully), because there were many stories of fingers and arms (right up to the armpit!) being caught between the wringer’s

Routines for pet owners Caring for a pet is an important responsibility and one that will bring much joy to your life. Developing a routine early can help keep your best friend happy, as well as making life easier for you.

One of the most important benefits of a routine is that it will help you to be aware of your pet’s health. You’ll come to expect certain behaviours from your dog or cat and any changes to their routine can be identified at an early stage. Sticking to a routine is especially important when you have a new pet, as he or she will be adjusting to unfamiliar people and different surroundings.

Here are some tips that will help keep your pets happy and healthy.

1: Feed your pet at a regular time every day.

2: Clean your pet’s water dishes every day and make sure there is always clean, fresh water available.

3: Clean cat litter trays once a day.

4: All dogs need exercise and mental stimulation, so walk your dog at least once a day and provide plenty of stimulating toys.

5: Pick up your pet’s poo from the yard regularly.

6: Brush your dog and long-coated cats at least

once a week or more.

7: Consider flea and tick prevention treatment all year-round.

8: Wash your dog/cat’s bedding once a month.

9: Check your dog’s and cat’s body, including ears, teeth and nails, each week. If you find any abnormalities, seek veterinary attention.

10: Worm your adult cat and dog regularly.

Your veterinarian can provide advice about how often this should be done.

11: Make sure your pet has an annual veterinary check-up, or more often for an elderly pet. This should include talking with your vet about vaccinations.

12: Renew dog and/or cat registration as required and update your contact details on microchip databases and council records, as well as on your pet’s tag.

13: And - the most pleasurable of all - spend time with your pet every day!

Just like people, pets respond to a simple routine. They like to eat at a similar time each day, they like to know there is a comfortable and secure spot for them to sleep and they look forward to play time or walks.

rollers, and even broken arms when someone put their hand into the spinner before it had stopped!

Today most laundries feature an automatic washine machine, although there are still some of us who like our twin tub models - we can do the whole wash in the time it takes the automatic to do just one load!

Equal with God? Is Jesus really equal with God? First, the New Testament opens by telling us that Jesus is “God with us.” Matthew 1.21-23.

Second, he claims equal authority with God. He says, “all authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.”

Matthew 28.18.

Third, he claims to be God by accepting worship.

A leper worshipped him.

Matthew 8.2; a healed blind man worshipped him. John 9.38; and after Jesus’ resurrection, his own disciple, Thomas, worshipped him. John 20.28.

Fourth, Jesus claims to be God by inviting prayer in his name. He said, “If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.” John 14.14.

Fifth, he claimed eternal pre-existence and glory with the heavenly Father, John 17.5, and

Good News with Ken Packer, L.Th.

said that he existed before Abraham. John 8.58.

Sixth, only God can forgive sins, Isaiah 43.25; Mark 2.7, yet Jesus claims that same power. Mark 2.5,10.

Seventh, only God can judge the earth, Genesis 18.25; Joel 3.12, yet Jesus claims that he will do this. He says, “the Father… has committed all judgment to the Son.” John 5.22.

How wonderful, though, that we can escape his judgment right now, by accepting his offer to forgive our sins.

In brief We need not be surprised that Jesus’ full title is Lord Jesus Christ.

SA ‘History Week’ reflects past achievements

S

outh Australians stepped back in time last weekend to celebrate the start of SA History Week.

In Balaklava, a light sprinkling of rain did not dampen the spirits of more than 200 visitors who streamed through the gates of Urlwin Park to celebrate “Made in Balaklava”.

Among the visitors were descendants of some of the pioneer industrialists including Blake, Illman, Anders and Middleton families, who along with other pioneers, made Balaklava the “Manufacturing Centre of the North” between 1870 and 1940.

In formally opening the event, managing director of Balco, Malcolm May paid tribute to the courage and vision of Balaklava’s industrial pioneers who established a strong industry base to complement the district’s agricultural focus.

Visitors browsed freely and soaked up history displayed in a valued collection of windmills, farm implements, horse-drawn vehicles, engines and tractors.

Museum vice-president, Jeff Hennig, fired up the forge and demonstrated blacksmithing skills learnt from his late grandfather, W T Anders.

Visitors were treated to entertainment by students from Balaklava Primary and Horizon Christian schools, and Balaklava Drama Group and a delicious afternoon tea of ‘made in Balaklava’ biscuits.

In Brinkworth, the focus was on its Country Women’s Association

By Karen Petney and CFS branches which will soon celebrate 60 years of service to the community.

Each organisation provided a display in the former Catholic Church which now houses the town’s historical collection.

The exhibition was opened by former district councillor and CFS member Roly McEwin who told the audience he has kept a personal record of all Brinkworth publican and police officers.

He warned property owners to be sure to ask for the return of their old title deed documents when a property was transferred, as the Lands and Titles Office now issued a single sheet of A4 paper with none of the previous ownership history included on it.

“It is important to have our history,” he declared.

Static displays were enjoyed by visitors as well as a DVD slide show of old and new photos of the town’s houses, shops and other buildings, which created plenty of animated discussion, as well as eliciting some fascinating anecdotes about the buildings’ histories and former residents.

Helen Weckert encouraged anyone with any scraps of knowledge about the town’s houses to add a note in the folders that now hold the photos

that were used for the DVD. They could also do this at any future time when the museum was open, she said.

In Mallala, about 80 people turned out to view short films and cartoons.

Projectionist Jim East told the audience, which included many former Mallala residents, dedicated museum supporters and families from further away, about the early days of cinema in the Mallala Institute and of East Brothers involvement in showing the silent films.

T

hornborough Estate started out as the home of a pioneering couple ... and now it may have a future as a tourist destination and function facility.

The Plains Producer delves into the historic estate’s past, present and future.

B ABOVE: Shearers take a break, with great Grandpa Ridgway.

IT’S hard to tell Thornborough Estate is there.

This is the view from Old Port Wakefield road, across the vines and through the stand of river gums.

uilt by the hands of a pioneering family who arrived in Australia in 1855, Thornborough Estate is believed to have been built in 1870 by William and Susannah Ridgway.

The son of a tenant farmer, William Ridgway, born in 1859, was not afraid to discover life abroad.

William, who was born at Thornborough in Buckinghamshire, UK, set sail for South Africa when he was just 19 accompanied by his brother.

One year later, he returned alone to find his mother had passed away and his family had departed for the USA. After marrying Susannah Timms, the couple set sail for Australia in 1855 with their two young daughters.

But they were not in for an easy journey.

After a three month voyage aboard the Schomberg, captained by the notorious James Nicol Forbes, the ship ran aground.

Forbes had been attempting a new record, and it is said he refused to leave a card game when land was sighted, and by the time he took action it was too late to stop the ship hitting a sandy reef.

While no passengers or crew were lost, it is said the Ridgways managed to salvage only a wooden chest which later washed to shore.

Forbes was eventually acquitted of negligence.

From Victoria’s shoreline, the determined couple persevered, bringing their two daughters to South Australia.

After four years of colonial experience, the family moved to Virginia, South Australia, where William opened a butchering business, making deliveries on horseback.

T

he walls have talked at this grand old home nestled on the banks of the Light river. It is a treasure trove of local history – and now it is once again returning to its glory days He later purchased land on the Gawler River - formerly part of Buckland Park - where the estate now stands on the inside of a river bed, surrounded by stately gums.

William Ridgway was a pioneer of mixed farming and was amongst the first agriculturalists to run sheep.

After naming the property Thornborough Farm, the Ridgways gradually increased the size of the property to more than 2000 acres.

Mr Ridgway was a popular judge of sheep, and won many prizes for his own sheep.

With a strong church involvement, the Methodist man was well respected among the community, although he declined an opportunity to become a parliamentary representative for the Barossa as he didn’t like the argy-bargy of politics.

But the family and the property were well respected, and were even visited by royalty and other dignitaries on their way to Buckland Park for fox hunting expeditions.

While William and Susannah left their family behind when they left the UK, three of William’s brothers and a sister eventually followed them to South Australia, while two brothers made their lives in the USA. William and Susannah had five children - Elizabeth, Ann Emma, Fanny, Thomas and Edward.

The property remained in the Ridgway family until 1918 when it was purchased by George John Legoe.

The property then became ‘Virginia Park’, and ownership was given to Richard John Legoe and wife Mary in 1924.

At the time, it comprised 2260 acres of agricultural and pastoral land with four miles of the Gawler River meandering through.

The couple ran shorthorn cattle, dorset horn sheep, Shetland ponies, milking cows, and grew grain and fodder crops.

Like William Ridgway, Richard Legoe was also held in high regard by the community.

He was a member of the Agricultural Bureau, the Two Wells Show Society committee,

THREE views of Thornborough homestead – Top, as it is today. Middle, under the ownership of the Legoe family, and below, the original homestead built by the Ridgeways.

Tom Ridgeway, 1859-1942, farmed Thornborough with his father, William. chair of the Virginia Recreation Ground and warden of the Two Wells church.

It was under Richard’s ownership that the house was remodelled in Georgian style.

With 10 rooms and bathrooms, ornamental gardens, tennis court and a small orange, grapefruit and stonefruit orchard as well as towering gums and a picturesque river, the property was stunning.

In early 1930, the Sanders family became owners of the property, which was held until auction in September 1999.

Thornborough today Today, Thornborough remains a stunning estate on the Gawler River.

It is now owned by George Girgolas, who bought the property in September 1999.

Having grown up in Virginia and with a passion for local history, George has clear ideas of what he hopes to develop at Thornborough.

After purchasing the property, George began establishing a vineyard, with the property utilising recycled water.

The 670 acre property now includes a vari-

T

ety of vines, including chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, viognier, pinot gris, cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, merlot, tempranillo and zinfandel, with all fruit sold to Yalumba.

George said it was these ‘boutique’ varieties which would be the future of Thornborough as a winery.

With additional vineyards in Virginia, George has been growing for Yalumba for more than 25 years.

But the vines play a key role in his vision for the future.

With vineyards now well established, George said the next project would be the restoration of the homestead, and from there, he hopes to put the property and local history on show for all to enjoy.

“It’s a pretty unique place,” he said.

George sees Thornborough as a place where local produce could also be showcased and promoted.

“Virginia is a very diverse place,” he said.

“Everything grows here - fruit and veg, aquaculture, quails, beef.

“There’s a lot of delicacies we can source from the area.”

Then there’s the opportunity to host weddings on weekends - one of George’s employees was married at the estate just weeks ago.

“They could stay here, have their photos here, do everything here,” George said.

George has huge long-term plans for Thornborough, which could include a winery and restaurant, cellar door, guest house/bed and breakfast, conference and function facility and even a golf course (the golf course may require outside investment).

The plans would significantly boost tourism, promotion of local produce and employment, as well as promoting the importance of local history.

George plans to dedicate a room to each of the former owners of Thornborough to ensure guests can appreciate the history.

He has spent 10 years compiling history of the property and its people, and hopes his plans will eventually allow him to share the property and its rich history with others.

The numbers keep growing folks, just like the luscious green fairways and greens and we saw nearly 30 souls lumber out of the car park, pleasure bent, to contest the highly prized P&O Trophy, a Stableford competition.

Having hit the highest score (42) while achieving a personal-best lowest score “off the stick”, a somewhat confused Austin Henstridge gratefully accepted the armful of goodies donated by P&O. Final rounds were also played for both the President’s and Captain’s Trophies.

The former was won by a not-so-wayward Wayne “The Nurgler” Nagle by overcoming rising star Tate (“won the footy, but!”)

Michael 3-2. The latter stoush was won

by Austin Henstridge who, thanks to some arrant off-field, po-faced nonsense which put Bill Parkin well off his game, plus a slight difference in handicaps (28 Vs. 2), accounted for the club champ. 4-2.

Meanwhile, back at the farm, the A Grade Stableford saw power-packed Peter Lamont cruise home with 35 points, nudging the Nurgler into second place with his 34 points on a count back from rollicking Robert Hart, who in turn bumped both Merv.

Hameister and Mark Loy off the podium despite their also sharing that self-same score of 34.

Behind these gifted golfers trailed, in order of despondency, I. Michael (33), G. McKenzie (31), R. Butterworth (31), W. Parkin (28) and J. Michael (26).

Over in the B Grade section, Austin added a fine new golf ball to his haul for scoring 42, as did the ever determined Dave Rodgers (38) and our delightfully laid-back Bill Berry (36).

Those who will just have to wash and scrub their old golf balls during the week were G. Anderson (35), B. Michael (35), D. Trickett (31), C. Michael (31), A. Manuel (30), D.Addison (29), R. Veitch (29),G. Toms (27) and T. Michael (25).

No less than four juniors took to the field as well, with Jordan Wilson scoring 40 points, both Ben Michael and Jye Neale 34 and Jordan Taylor, whose score is yet to be revealed to the waiting world.

Ian Michael scored the only Birdie, on the 10th, where he claimed Nearest The Pin as well. NTPs were also achieved by Mark Loy (3rd), Geoff McKenzie (8th), “Rotten” Ron Butterworth (15th) and again with the nurgler already, Wayne Nagle (17th).

Saturday’s stableford competition was sponsored by Raine & Horne, 41 players competed. Conditions were windy but Fine with some run and CCR was 43.

Another very good turn out for the first round of the Presidents Trophy with some very impressive scores, especially from some C grade players namely Andy Gameau and Adam Bail who will kiss some of their handicap goodbye. Lots of other very good scores as you will see in the results below. Very pleasing to see Brian Prior returned as President with total support.

Welcome to Chris Girling as our new Vice President and Rob Thompson filling the vacated Committee position, now let’s get on with getting our club firing on all cylinders.

Many thanks must go to those members who have been out for the past couple of weeks helping Brian and I do the scrapes.

Members have commented how good they are so our intentions are to keep them that way. It must have been rather hard for the last group coming home in the dark… as least they had the beacon lights either side of the scrape thanks to BP’s quick thinking, but then had to go back to find a lost club. I think Darryl might have to invest in a searchlight for night navigation.

Hockey Balaklava reports

Under 14: Balaklava started with the ball and Donnybrook took it into their attacking circle quickly. Balaklava defended well with Natasha, Tim G, Ethan, Hedley and Casey working the ball down into Balaklava’s circle. A number of attempts at goal were made, all being unsuccessful.

Donnybrook got possession but with good team work in the middle, Matt C doing a great job backing up his team mates. Balaklava managed to gain control. Hedley made a good clearing shot.

There was some desperate play in the middle by both teams with the ball going back and forth along the field.

Jessie, Natasha and Marni worked the ball back into Balaklava’s attacking area.

Riley had a excellent run getting the ball past three defenders into the circle but was unable to put it in the net.

The second half started with Donnybrook in control quickly taking it down into their attacking half. A short corner resulted but Balaklava cleared the ball out and took it straight back down the field for an unsuccessful attempt at goal.

After a great deal of attacking and defending in the centre of the field, Hedley got the ball and had a shot at goal, unfortunately missing. Donnybrook then returned strong and got the ball down to their attacking half, but it quickly got converted and Hedley, Jessie and Tom made an amazing run right down to Balaklava’s circle and had a shot but the goal keeper defended it well.

Donnybrook managed to get the ball into their circle after a great deal of attacking and defending had taken place.

Michael (goalie), Bryce and Tim H all defending well in the back lines. Both teams had a number of penalty corners and there was more hard fought play around the field until Balaklava got the ball into their circle where Riley was able to score a goal. This boosted Balaklava’s energy levels for the last few minuets of the game to enable them to get the ball back into their circle in the dying moments of the game where Casey was able to get a goal just seconds before the final whistle blew. Final score Balaklava 2 – Donnybrook 0.

Under 17: This turned out to be a relatively one sided match. Both teams fought hard for the ball but the Donnybrook forwards just weren’t able to get one to go through.

There were a lot of long hits with brother and sister (Matt and Tamara) working well together in the middle. Josh ran down the field showing good stick skills all the way into the circle and despite good team work they were unable to convert it into a goal. At one point the Donnybrook goalie came out to defend and ended up flat on his back after colliding with Ben’s hip and shoulder! The goalie soon got up and resumed his position. After this the goals started pouring in. Samuel got one off a short corner. Matt got one, then Peter got one past the goalie after he came out.

After half time, Donnybrook made an early attack at goals but Josh and Jessie were able to deny them the ball with Josh once again dribbling down the field.

Play seesawed to both ends of the field.

Great team play on Balaklava’s behalf drew the goalie out high and Peter passed effectively to Ben who hit it in for a goal.

Brittny fought hard for the ball and there was good backing up by Peter.

There was plenty of encouragement and talk amongst the team. Emily and Brittny combined well to get the ball in the circle and earn a short corner. Shortly after, Emily drew the goalie out and passed in front of his feet to Matt who was able to score with it.

Caitlin (Balaklava’s goalie) defended the goal attempts by Donnybrook really well. Balaklava earnt a couple of penalty

flicks. Donnybrook was able to defend the first one flicked by Matt but the second one, flicked by Ben, dribbled over the line in slow motion. Balaklava were very strong in the second half with additional goals scored by Peter, Samuel, Matt and Ben. Men: Play started off evenly with the ball travelling constantly from end to end.

Balaklava has the first attempt at goal but failed to score. A lot of play between the teams, Balaklava keeping it in their attacking end eventually earning the first short corner but without success in scoring.

Donnybrook started to step up the attack but Josh cleared the ball making its way to Dave who took on three players, shot at goal but missed. Play continued through the middle with both teams attacking the ball hard. Good play again from Josh and Lee. Donnybrook got a clean shot at goals but Napper in goals ran out and kicked it clear - half way down the field.

Balaklava had another shot which turned into a short corner that they were unable to convert. Donnybrook made their way to attempt a goal and earned a short corner. Balaklava stepped up their defence and with a great deal of determination was able to prevent a goal. Play continued back and forth until Lee was able to score the first goal of the match.

After a drink and some team tactics discussed at half time, Balaklava came out strong, earning a short corner which Raf converts to a goal. Some good attacking play with Donnybrook getting a couple of breaks and managing to get one past Napper. However Raf was able to again score off a short corner not long before the final whistle.

Women: Under grey clouds it was Donnybrook who commenced proceedings, running with the wind for the first half. Donnybrook had the best of the first few exchanges but it was Balaklava’s prodigal half back, Fiona T, who created the first meaningful chance of the half.

Donnybrook, however had the majority of the attacking play with two short corners in quick succession. Renae and Tegan defended well getting plenty of touches in the full back spots.

The first open opportunity of the match fell to Amber whose constant run and effort in the middle of the park created plenty of forward momentum for Balaklava, but her final touch was thwarted by the swinging black boot of the Donnybrook goal keeper.

The first half ended without any exertion from the scorer but one last opportunity from Fiona C had the scorer interested but the shot went wide.

The half time speech from ‘Super Coach’ Raf had his charges fired up and eager to start the second half with pearls of inspiration in their heads and the wind behind them.

It wasn’t long before Balaklava were on the attack with a flash of blue and blonde putting the Donnybrook defenders under pressure as Mary, Tanya and Hayley started to make their presence felt.

As Balaklava pushed forward with renewed confidence it was Donnybrook who scored first with a counter attack against the run of play. Leonie, who had switched back to full back at half time, was unlucky not to stop the attack before Renae and Rebecca in goal were beaten by a powerful shot.

With the score at 0-1, the locals seemed to become more determined to

The winter nighters once again had a perfect night for tennis.

Leonie Selleck filled in admirably for the absent Diane Gregor’s Ships, helping them to a 5-30 to 1-19 win over Lauren Parker’s Canoes. Steve Lawrie, on suspension, had Darren Scholz taking his place, facing Richard Goldney all night.

These two had some great rallies and very even sets – all being 5-3s! Scholzy and young Kate Taylor finally took their last set which was their teams only win!

Kate and Lauren were unlucky though to lose a long tiebreaker to Bec Houston and Cherie Cleary in a tough battle. Leonie faced David Northcott all night, but Leonie’s younger legs helped her through for three winning sets.

Lisa Redpath’s little Tugs were outdone by Courtney Daniel’s smooth sailing Yachts 4-33 to 2-15. The Yachts were very ably assisted by Chris Daniel who faced Kevyna Gardner, with poor Kevyna left shell-shocked by Chris’ power and ruthlessness! The Yachts took the first two sets comfortably, but Tugs Di Taylor and Shaun Northcott took charge of their set together to knock off Courtney and Peter Rohrlach. Shaun obviously had his eyes in as he and Kevyna won their next set in an identical 5-3. Lisa was outgunned by the slicing and dicing of Daryl Barkla’s topspins but luckily didn’t have any dakdroppers!

Until next week, when we welcome Diane Gregor out for her first hit and Steve back into the fray...

Ladies winter

get on the score sheet with attack after attack but as the game drew towards a conclusion it become clear that the Balaklava players had given it their best effort as tired legs began to outnumber the runners.

Renae and Leonie continued to protect the Balaklava goal with a steely resolve but were unable to stop Donnybrook’s second goal after a short corner wasn’t effectively cleared by Balaklava.

At full time the 0-2 scoreline was a fair reflection not of the game but the abilities of the two sides in from of goal. While the play and the opportunities to score were about even the more experienced forward line of Donnybrook put their opportunities to better use. Balaklava should be pleased with their run and flair with some extra attention to finishing in front of goal the blues will be in contention for the final game of the season once again.

A big thankyou to those who wrote the report.

A vast range of scores were witnessed this week with quite a number of ladies having to reveal their Bonds!

The Solos captain, Heidi Zerk, finally graced us with her presence, albeit feeling a bit seedy and sluggish after her own ‘Big Day Out’, and decided it was in her team’s best interest to play at number four. However the Solos were assisted

by Shelley Lamond, much to opposing captain Pauline Hill’s chagrin. Never-theless Pauline’s Fantas fought the match out, but were slammed by the stacked Solos 6-36 to 0-10.

Fantas Mary Connell, sporting the lacy briefs, was mortified to reveal hers not once, but twice as she (and her shorts) went down with Narelle Michael and Kerrie Bell! Mary did redeem herself with Pauline coming a valiant second 6-4 to Melissa Moulds and Shelley. Nazza and opponent Kellie Harrison had a fairly even contest all day, with Nazza getting fired up after her first dakdropper set. Kerrie is hoping not to face Heidi next round as she doesn’t want to face Heidi on a ‘bad day’!!

After a promising start to the season, Helen Barry’s Lemons have crashed again, this time to Colleen Allen’s Cokes 5-32 to 1-15.

We welcomed Simone Bigg for her first ever winter match, playing for sister-in- law Julie, and she quickly got rid of her rusty shots. Simone and Colleen were ruthless in their set over Kim Eime and newie Tess Mellow, with Simone and Shaz Pike continuing that streak over Tess and Di Meaney.

After her big weekend away recently, Tess appears quite used to dropping her daks! However we’re starting to wonder if she’s actually throwing some sets to make sure her partners have to drop them too!

Helen and Di were the saving grace for the Lemons winning over Shaz and Denby Wandel, whilst Helen and Kim were very unlucky to lose a marathon tiebreaker to Denby and Colleen in a good set.

The final match saw Louise Michael’s Bitters scrape through by just four games to defeat Helen Durdin’s Limes 3-31 to 3-27. The first two sets were both tiebreakers ending one each. Meriel Lane made her debut to finally try out her new sneakers and racquet, and, of course, had a tiebreaker win with Helen to start off! Meriel and opponent Kathryn Mahony had some excellent rallies with both playing some very angled tramliners.

Louise and fill-in Rae Winen had a good win over Helen and Valerie Carling, who had trouble concentrating after going into hysterics once again. At least she didn’t end up on the court this time!

Limes Angela Battle was unlucky to lose a first set tie but turned that around to win a long 6-4 in her next set with Meriel.

Apparently Meriel had a sore arm the next day from all of her winners! Bitters Di Taylor is still on fire and happy to sit at number two, citing fake injuries to stop promotion! Di took the honours in a good hit against Angela all day with close set scores of three, four and five! Rae had her eyes in this week which will please her captain Shaz for next week.

Until next week when we see how Heidi is feeling and if Meriel has tried the metho.....

Skill errors and wasted opportunities cost Roosters the game Now at Blyth - Phone 8844 5144

By Bronte Hewett

Mallala 12-7 (79) d Two Wells 7-9 (51)

A grade

The much anticipated clash between Two Wells and Mallala was highly intense but the Mallala Magpies came out on top by 28 points.

The Magpies took full advantage of skill errors in the Roosters game and got some early goals to keep them at arms reach the entire match.

The beginning was feisty and hard-going, with Justin Antony opening the scoring with a running goal for Two Wells. Brian Montgomery was dominating his defender, doing some damage in the Mallala forward line.

With the Roosters missing crucial opportunities, Mallala eventually took control of the first quarter, but only just.

Jason Earl put the Magpies in the lead, and if Two Wells had kicked straighter, it would have been a tie going into quarter time on the four to 2-2 scoreboard.

Pressure was tight and no disposal came easy for either side in the second quarter. The Roosters were playing fast, but bad decisions were detrimental and kicking confidence was down.

Joel Montgomery worked hard, marked solidly and got several assists for Mallala, giving them the

steady lead at half-time 6-3 to 3-6.

Christian Rimmer was tough for the Magpies, as the side disposed and kicked more accurately in the second half.

Jonno Wildbore was tough to contest in the Magpies defence and there was more rough conduct with young Roosters coming off second best against their bigger opponents.

The classic Roosters mid-field combination of Khan Leighton, Ned Seccafien and Lee Allmond was promising late in the third term. But it looked to be too little too late for the Roosters going into the final break with a six goal catchup on their hands, 10-5 to 4-8.

Two Wells kept the intensity until the final siren, and got within three goals of the Magpies in a determined bid to salvage the win. Wally Hand had a good game for the Roosters while Sean Nikolas was also tactful in offence.

Much of Mallala’s success was attributed to their ability to control the ball under pressure.

Two Wells burnt too many opportunities inside 50 and the Magpies were too quick to respond.

The final score was Mallala 12-7 (79) to 7-9 (51).

Two Wells Roosters had a tighter win than usual in their 57 point victory over Mallala at home.

Two Wells dominated the ball early, but Mallala got the first goal on the board. Quickly ending the Magpies’ confidence, Jason Stewart got the game rolling for the Roosters by evening the score.

The Magpies had some opportune moments early, but were wasteful in the forward line and had to compete with the strengthened Two Wells back line, with the return of Devon Hardiman.

The Roosters got out to a slight lead, as Mallala fought to stay in the game.

Teamwork between Sam Angus and Matt Saunders saw the Magpies get within a goal of the Roosters in the second quarter. But Mick Abdilla booted a hook goal to regain the Roosters two-goal margin going into half time, 6-8 to 4-2.

The Magpies came out full of power from the main break, not willing to go down without

By Bronte Hewett a fight. They put constant pressure on the ball and Derek Tiller showed potential inside Magpies 50.

Mallala were consistent at keeping the margin to two goals, until late in the third term when they couldn’t stop the Roosters as they pushed out to four goals.

Steven Devine had a big influence on the Roosters’ team dynamics and Adam Humzy never seemed to run out of steam once again.

The final quarter was stronger for the Roosters, who increased their lead with solid offensive team plays and accurate kicking.

Matt Saunders kicked well in the last term for the Magpies, showing high skill and straight kicking. Overall it was a fairly evenly matched game, but Two Wells had a little edge over the visitors and used their good accountability to maintain the steady lead. The final score was Two Wells 15-13 (103) to Mallala 7-4 (46).

Eagles run away in last quarter Balaklava drops their defences after a solid start A grade

From the first bounce players from both teams knew this was going to be a desperate tussle to keep in touch with the top four teams.

Balaklava showed Hummocks that they had a serious task at hand, gaining a solid start with a snap for goal by Todd McPharlin. A couple of quick goals stunned the Eagles’ back line and their supporters.

Hummocks’ kicking needed to improve for them to be any chance in the game.

Brenton Lamond for the Peckers made his presence felt. The game resembled a rugby league game at times and the Peckers coming out with the ball.

Great defence from the Balaklava side made it difficult for the Eagles struggling at times to get it close to the goals. Finally, 20 minutes into the quarter, the Eagles scored their first goal.

The quarter was a scrappy affair. It appeared that the ball spent more time off the field than it did on.

Quarter time scores: Balaklava 4.3 to HWE 1.0.

The start of the second quarter had Luke Tezacker going through the pack like a ‘bull at a gate’.

Sam Jericho for the Eagles goaled, which was the kick start that Hummocks needed. Brenton Lamond again was making himself known as he ran all over the place. Hummocks were beginning to find their feet with a snap goal from Braham. A tussle between the two teams in the Hummocks forward line seemed to fire up the Eagles. Great play by Eagle Shaun Light,

By Ruffled Feathers who was taking a leaf out of Lamond’s book, passing the ball to Shane Braham, which resulted in a goal. Again the Eagles forward line of Light, Jericho and Young was very effective. Hummocks lifted and their back line began to tighten. Balaklava still fought hard but their defences began to drop resulting in the Eagles taking control of the game.

Half time HWE 7.1 to Balaklava 5.4 Brenton Lamond, who broke through the Eagles defence early in the quarter, goaled easily. The Hummocks defence needed to tighten again.

Solid play from both teams for a while resulted in no goals. The game was still a scrappy affair. Slick play from Eagle Shaun Price, who was showing his skills, resulted in another Sam Jericho goal.

Pecker Hayden Walker’s kicking was becoming innacurate, the big man getting frustrated at missing set shots.

Balaklava took advantage of a couple of 50m penalties, which resulted in six point scores and seemed to spur them on. This lifted their spirits, leading them to a four goal – two quarter. At the siren, the comeback by Balaklava proved again they weren’t going to lie down.

Three quarter time Balaklava 9.9 to HWE 9.3 The final quarter had all spectators sitting on the edge of their seats. Sam Jericho goaled twice early in the quarter,

setting the scene for what was to come.

Brad Higgs for the Eagles couldn’t convert his kicking, missing two goals, but it didn’t seem to matter as Jericho – who was on fire in this quarter – capitalised on Balaklava’s mistakes.

We were seeing a more determined Eagle’s side this week compared to the last couple of games.

Luke Knappstein launched one in from centre half forward to result in a goal, which got the Eagles supporters going. Balaklava’s defence was breaking down, as Sam ‘Jezzaleapo’ Jericho took a screamer, setting off the Eagles supporters once again. By this time the Eagles had full control, kicking four goals to Balaklava’s one.

Final score HWE 13.6 to Balaklava 9.10.

Senior colts

It was a predictable win for the Balaklava senior colts this Saturday at the Port Wakefield oval, as they were undefeated for the season.

What the strong numbered Balaklava side didn’t anticipate was the competitive game they were up against, considering

the Eagles had player shortages and were playing four junior colts.

The first quarter saw Balaklava’s Jack Jenner kick the first goal. Balaklava played a very strong quarter and were six goals up the end of the first quarter.

Dallas Hill and Thomas Rowe’s efforts in the first quarter still didn’t help them along with Dallas kicking the first goal for the quarter.

In the second quarter the competition started, with both sides very competitive.

With HWE back lines heavily manned

by Casey Lane Watson, Josh Kelly and Brandon Surmon and the centre half back covered by Ben Nicholls, Mitch Nicholls and Thomas Lawson the defence was too strong for Balaklava and they were only able to score one point for the whole quarter. The centre area was lacking players which left Steven Deer doing some hard tackling with the support of Zac Zilm and the hard efforts of young Cody Scott.

Thomas Lawson showed his potential as a future association player when he foiled numerous Balaklava goals in a row. Tim Shepherd from Balaklava played a very strong quarter in defence for the Balaklava team along with Ryan McPharlin in their

forward lines. Sam Rowland played a very good quarter for the Balaklava team, however it didn’t stop the half time score being Balaklava 7 goals 1 point to HWE 5 goals 2 points.

The third quarter started again well for the Eagles, however their confidence got the better of them and Balaklava soon took a stronger lead. Chad Ruiz, Sam Ruiz and Luke Guy played a very good quarter for Balaklava even with them playing this quarter against the wind which was gradually picking up.

Shane McGuiness played a strong quarter for the Hummocks team along with James Anderson playing a strong centre against Balaklava’s centre Jason McPharlin. The Eagles lacked accuracy this quarter giving Balaklava a six-goal lead by the end of the third quarter.

The fourth quarter once again saw the game change, with the Eagles’ confidence on a downer, it gave them the edge to get back into the game. They played a remarkable quarter, pushing the final score up to Balaklava 12 goals 5 points to HWE 9 goals 5.

Nathan Greenshields stood out in the team kicking a difficult goal from outside the 50 metre mark. Nathan, Nick Jericho, Dallas Hill, Thomas Rowe and Mathew Hoepner were the best players for the day for the HWE. Luke Guy from Balaklava stole the show with his standard of football for Balaklava. Other good players on the day for Balaklava were Sam Rowland, Tim Shepherd and Ryan McPharlin.

SPORT v Football

Tigers need win over the Roosters United v Two Wells LEE Allmond, Two Wells kicks on the run towards goal during the A grade game against Mallala on Saturday.

ADRIAN Mills looks ready to take a mark for United during the A grade game at Virginia.

This week’s match at Long Plains, like all three matches last weekend, will have a definite bearing on the overall season.

Two Wells – who have started the season in good form – can secure a much more comfortable spot near the top with a win over United this week.

United now desperately need a win after losses against Virginia, Mallala and the Eagles already this season.

The Long Plains based side is looking shaky having only defeated Hamley Bridge since their season opening win against Balaklava.

In the Roosters favour is that they have enough guns to win this match.

Lee Allmond is always capable of causing the opposition many headaches, and Justin Antony’s A grade learning curve is almost complete as he seems to be finding more and more of the ball each week.

Tallan Leighton carved up United for most of the match at Long Plains last year, and he along with his brother Kahn and other young gun Ned Seccafien, and the somewhat more experienced Wally Hand, must get on top in the midfield to give Two Wells an advantage.

The Roosters’ confidence is growing, and the young side is starting to make some waves – they have threatened for a few years now, and this year signs are good for the Roosters to take the next step.

United might be perennial finals contenders, and know on paper they have the talent to compete in September once again this year despite a slow start. However, although they know they will come good at some stage this year if they don’t wake up soon and start playing some good team footy, it may be all too late for teams like United, Balaklava and the Eagles (if Virginia and Two Wells keep winning), as there will only be one finals place left with all three fighting for it post-June!

In this match, United will have one distinct advantage over Two Wells – experience!

United have players on every line who have played a lot of A grade football. Ever-reliable defender Mark Pym, captain Simon Schulz, ruckman Will Banton, and speedsters Ben Sobey, Adam Mansfield and Matt East all must show the way against a Rooster side that is young and exciting but still very “green” so to speak.

Sam McArdle of course, has a lot of League and SANFL Reserves experience. He, along with players mentioned above, will want to win their positions outright this week and have an influence if the Tigers are going to show some character and bounce back from their loss to the Rams last week.

PREVIEWRound 7

n By Kym Jarman

Kym Jarman’s Kiss of Death United by 14 pts Mallala by 65 pt Virginia by 8 pts To be frank, this game for United and Two Wells becomes a “four point” game. A win to the Tigers keeps them in touch, and a win to the Roosters gives them breathing space heading into the association weekend break.

A loss for either spells danger!

Balaklava v Virginia

This week’s match at home becomes a “must win” for Balaklava.

After the Peckers suffered defeat once more last week, this time at the hands of HWE Balaklava desperately need to get another win on the board.

If they can’t, they must resign to the fact the remainder of the season will become one long tough slog.

The worst thing for Pecker players and supporters is that they are not that far off the pace.

Despite a big first up loss to United, Balaklava have suffered narrow losses to Two Wells and Mallala. Even last weekend’s loss to the Eagles was only by a margin of 21 points. Of course Balaklava notched a handy win against Hamley Bridge a few weeks back, but to this stage of the season it remains their only win.

Although the Pecker young players are no doubt getting better with every A grade match they get under their belt there’s nothing like a win every now and then to assure the group they are heading in the right direction.

That is why this week’s match against the in-form Virginia provides the Peckers with a chance to stay with the pack and prove that they should be considered as finals contenders despite results not going their way so far this year.

Not unlike the match at Long Plains this weekend between the Tigers and Roosters, this Pecker v Rams contest also becomes somewhat of a “four point” game with a chance for Virginia to get further ahead in second place on the table or Balaklava to close the gap and stay in touch!

The Rams so far this year have been very damaging on the break their defenders and midfielders in Adrian

Mark, skipper Matty Young, Anthony Johnston and Mark Cocchiaro linking up with Steven Papanotis, Shamus Schutt, Emmanuel Tsmiklis and Anton Geradis have been wreaking havoc of late.

For Balaklava to win they must play accountable football as they did against Mallala a fortnight ago. If Balaklava can match up with the Rams and win the one on one contests absorbing the pressure that Virginia have been troubling opponents with then the Peckers may be a chance.

If skipper Hayden Walker, the versatile Benny Lamond, the brothers Evans, and onballers Ben Catford and Brady Scott can lead by example and drag the likes of Todd McPharlin and other younger players with them then the Peckers can get the win – although it will take a four quarter effort.

Virginia haven’t travelled far from home yet having played three games at Ram Park, one just down the road in Two Wells and the furthest away in Mallala (their only loss so far).

With the Rams new confidence coming up against the Peckers “must win” attitude this match will be well worth the admission price!

Mallala v Hamley Bridge

This weekend top meets bottom at Mallala. It is hard to see the two match points in this one going any way other than to Mallala.

While the Bombers have themselves admitted they probably aren’t judging their season on a win/loss ratio alone unfortunately the Bombers haven’t really looked like taking two match points from anyone yet this year. Unfortunately this week’s match against Mallala doesn’t look good for the Bombers who will honestly probably see being within 10 goals at the final siren as a decent effort!

Mallala’s class shines through each and every week. They have accomplished players in every position and never seem to lack any energy with the average age of their group being in the mid-low 20s.

With all due respect to the Bombers Mallala are on a mission this year after unexpecdeadly losing last year’s grand final to HWE. Seeing as no other side has been able to defeat them yet this year it does not hold much hope for Hamley Bridge this week.

Hamley Bridge do have players that can win their individual positions and they have also shown that their teamwork and ability to stick to the game plan can bring about scoring opportunities.

They can put up a respectable fight this weekend although Mallala will be too skilled once again.

Eagles score win in rival match against Peckers • From back page For the Pies who secured another win, Whitwell, Rimmer, Wildbore, Hardie, Joel Montgomerie and Tim Cawrse all worked hard.

Meanwhile at Port Wakefield, Hummocks Watchman Eagles got themselves a much needed win against arch-rivals Balaklava fighting back from a quarter time deficit to defeat the Peckers by just over three goals.

To say both sides needed a win was an understatement. In the end the Eagles without gun recruit Daniel Thomas fought bravely in a tight contest unable to break clear of the Peckers until late in the game. Forward Sam Jericho provided the spark and his team mates did the rest late in the day to see last year’s premiers finish with a wet sail, notching up just their second win of the season.

It was an impressive win by the Eagles, more gutsy considering key forward/on-baller Thomas, who has become an important cog for the Eagles in recent weeks after kicking five of their thirteen goals last weekend and six of their ten goals the week prior to that, was missing.

Nevertheless the Jericho brothers were the ones that did the damage up forward this week capitalising on the Eagles midfield work with Sam Jericho taking best on field honours after booting seven goals and younger brother Nick chiming in with two.

Other Eagles Jared Wilson, ruckman Sean Light, and the versatile Nathan Young for the third consecutive week were in the Eagles top few performers, Hummocks skipper Shane Braham and recruit James Knappstein also led from the front against the old foe.

For the Peckers defender Danny Gardner was again solid in his rebounding role, Travis Zerk and David Yates were solid all day, Benny Lamond was influential and Ben Catford was back to his elusive best. Key position player Jonathon Evans also made it tough for the Eagles to get on top.

Balaklava’s Brady Scott added to his consistent start to the season once again playing in the middle and floating forward for a return of three goals.

HWE coach Mark Brandt was happy just to get another win on the board after the Eagles had registered somewhat of a shaky start to this season. “We really needed a win as you know. It would have put us in a bad spot if we were to go 1-4 so to get the win on Saturday was just what we needed.”

“We have been training really well so even though we have a couple of players still missing through injury and have lost two close games already this year we have remained confident that we could get our next win and stay in touch with the top pack” Despite the Eagles being down to just one bench player for the third match in a row (due to eye injuries sustained by both Jarred Manners and Travis Sharpe) the Eagles this time made sure they did get the points in a close one.

“It was also good to finally win a close game”.

“The group and the club expect success so we are very happy the win and I am confident with two weeks off to freshen up now (thanks to a bye and the association weekend) we can return after the break and now build up for the rest of the season” On the other side of the coin it was another ‘close but no cigar’ type performance for Balaklava

who have now lost two matches this season by less than two goals and this one against the reigning premier by a little over three goals.

The Peckers must get back on the horse pretty soon as a match against second place Virginia this weekend at home looms as a pivotal one in the context of their season Meanwhile at Virginia the home side kept their early season run going inflicting a 68 point win on United. Although the Tigers were right in the match until half time the Rams broke the shackles in the third term booting seven goals one behind in an impressive third quarter display. Shamus Schutt was the livewire up forward kicking five goals within 15 minutes of the third term to see Virginia suddenly taking a 38 point lead into the last change.

Although United themselves added four goals in the busy third term Virginia’s blistering purple patch simply broke United’s back and possibly their desire as the Rams had the mental edge after this point keeping the Tigers goal less in the last quarter whilst adding five more of their own.

In the end the Rams ran out comfortable winners.

The standouts for Virginia were Adrian Mark at full back who contained United’s Tom Guerin for most of the match.

Mark’s ball use and decision making was simply sublime in setting up many of Virginia’s rebounds from the last line.

Midfielder Anthony Johnston too was allowed much space and collected many possessions to set up Virginia’s forward entries whist contributing two majors himself.

2008 Plains Producer Medallist Matty Young

racked up many touches and took many good marks for the Rams and Emmanuel Tsmiklis at centre half forward presented well kicking three goals.

Shamus Schutt must be commended for turning the game on its ear with his 10-minute burst in the third quarter completely breaking the game open.

For the Tigers, who despite winning the centre clearances overall on the day, couldn’t manage to find much space around the ground, and at times despite centreman Adrian Mills and ruckman Will Banton being at their damaging best, once more many of United’s running players couldn’t hit that all important target by foot inside 50.

Virginia’s pressure in this area must be commended.

United’s Ben Starr played a great game as did Ben Sobey who used much of his pace to break lines for United all day.

Mark Pym was sensational down back reading the play to prevent Virginia scoring on many occasions. Rams coach Greg Phillips, as expected, was pleased with the result.

“It’s another good win for us and the group is starting to play for each other more and more every week,” he said.

“We’re not getting ahead of ourselves, we’re taking it game by game but the club is in a good spot now when you think that last year we won six games all up and this year we have already now won four games.”

“The players are enjoying it too and we’re growing in confidence each week” “I think the club overall is excited about where we are at and what we can do for the rest of the season!”

SPORT v Netball

Hummocks girls dominate Balak in fast-paced game Hummocks v Balaklava

The intensity on the court at Port Wakefield was clear, but it was eventually Hummocks who took the win over Balaklava, 38 - 32.

In a strong start, Balaklava surged to a six-goal lead in the first quarter. But it wasn’t long before Hummocks took control of the court, increasing the pressure on the Balaklava girls.

Balaklava goalie Jenna Koch struggled in the goal ring, giving Hummocks the opportunity to take the final lead.

Hummocks held a clear advantage when it came to fitness, keeping up with the demanding pace of the game.

“We didn’t have our full side this week, so there is still improvement to come,” said Hummocks coach Cheryl Appleby. “We will be a strong side.”

Hummocks’ defence line was excellent. Their GD and GK put a lot of pressure on their opposition, making it tough for the Balaklava shooters.

Beth Germein was a delight to watch, making sensible passes. She was a key player of the

game, and earned a well deserved best player for her on-the-court effort.

It was goal for goal during the second and third quarters, but the pressure became too much in the final term when Jenna Koch was unable to score a goal for Balaklava past Hummocks’ tight defence.

Balaklava’s Chelsea Koch was forced off court through a back injury.

“Hummocks are a good side,” said Balaklava coach Craig Cox. “We just didn’t respond to the pressure very well. We were starting to play like we had already been defeated, when we were only three goals down.”

Balaklava’s Ashley Nutt played well throughout the game, and Michelle Williams was awarded best player. Cheryl thanked the umpires for allowing the girls to play a good game of netball. She said there was good flexibility for both teams to show their netball skills.

In the battle between third and fourth placed Two Wells and Mallala, it was the red and white girls who improved their ladder position, defeating Mallala 45 to 31.

The win elevated Two Wells to second place, pushing Mallala back to fifth, just behind Hamley Bridge on percentage.

For Two Wells, Rebecca O’Brien was a standout, while Carla Jarmyn was judged best on court for Mallala.

Virginia v Long Plains

In a battle between the bottom placed sides, Long Plains proved too strong for Virginia, taking out a 16-point win.

Despite eventually going down 66 to 50, Virginia was not going to back down, with strong defence accompanied by accurate shooting by best player Rachel Phillips.

For Long Plains, Shelley Litzow was named best player, playing strong in defence for the visiting team.

A1: Blyth/Snowtown 57 def Min Man 31.

Blyth/Snowtown won its first centre pass of the season and quickly scored the first three goals to set the tone of the game. The defence boasted a tall starting line up with Hayley Zweck in WD and Ashlyn and Annelise Johnson in the circle. A strong defensive effort all over the court and clean play by the settled attack line saw Blyth/Snowtown survive numerous challenges by Min Man to lead comfortably at quarter time. The Cats had a slow and mistake ridden second quarter, allowing Min Man to catch up to within 10 goals. Bernie Keeche came on court at half time into centre, providing much needed drive and pressure. The Cats, with superior attacking by the Nicholsons and Simone Bigg, again pulled away.

The last quarter saw the Cats take its foot of the pedal, but come away with another win.

A2: Blyth/Snowtown 37 lost to Min Man 38.

Min Man was off to an early five goal lead, but Cats came back in a tightly fought game with both teams taking the lead at various stages. Min Man held onto the win in a closely fought battle throughout.

C1: Blyth/Snowtown 23 lost to Min Man 50.

Min Man starting well scoring the first 6 goals.

Blyth/Snowtown worked hard for each goal as Min Man applied excellent pressure. Min Man Norma Cowan was great in goal defence with strong intercepting hands. In the second half Blyth/Snowtown came out with renewed enthusiasm and it was goal for goal.

Min Man was too strong for Blyth/Snowtown, but it was a great battle.

C2: Blyth/Snowtown 15 def Min Man 0.

Min Man jumped to an early lead and looked comfortable all game. Blyth/Snowtown defender worked hard but the much taller goalies were too good. Jessica Bannon (MinMan) took numerous intercepts and Kylie Harrold (Blyth/Snowtown) tried hard all day.

J4: Blyth/Snowtown drew with Min Man. Even game in the end. First half had Min Man out to a great lead. Excellent third quarter by Blyth/Snowtown and finished off well in thelast quarter to have a draw.

Great fighting by all.

B1: Blyth/Snowtown 28 lost to Min Man 40.

Min Man started strong with some quick goals.

U15: Blyth/Snowtown 40 def Min Man 26.

The first half was very even by both teams with only two goals separating the sides at half time. Both teams contested the ball strongly up and down the court. Maddy Zweck’s defensive work backed up

by Amy Stewart put pressure on Min Man’s goalies to give the Cats many turnovers and lead them to a comfortable win.

J1: Blyth/Snowtown 19 def Min Man 10.

Strong start by both teams. Cats goalies combined well together to get ahead in the first quarter. Both teams showed determination and chase for the ball.

Min Man was consistent with its game play and ball skills with accurate passing and shooting in the ring

by Jana Dixon. Blyth/Snowtown fought back in the last half with good centre court play by Lucy Pratt and accurate shooting by Tayla Warner and Clancy Toholice but Min Man’s tight defence kept the Cats’ chances of scoring to a minimum.

J5: This was an even matched game with Cats keeping Min Man from scoring several times. Girls kept with opponents and played with heart. Emilee Pyrke was player of the day after making quite a few intercepts and playing really well.

J3: The Blyth/Snowtown girls raised breast cancer awareness by donning pink ribbons for their game. The Blyth/Snowtown J3’s have shown great improvement,

Eudunda defenders Kate Abraham and Mem Dunstan shut down the goalies, Donna McGuirk and Hannah Marshall working hard to shut down the feeders.

$175,000

Great location and renovated ready to move in.

This is an opportunity to acquire a gracious older 3 bedroom stone duplex home, just 100 metres from the centre of the main shopping centre of the easy going and safe town of Balaklava and Fisher Street is quiet and family-friendly. The house is in really excellent repair, freshly painted, and the owner has made many improvements. The bedrooms are of a generous size and two feature original cast-iron fire places. The living room is of very generous proportions, and like most of the house has original fine corrugated iron ceilings, around 11 feet tall.

The dine-in kitchen is large, with a small formal dining room to the side, that could function as an additional bedroom. To the rear there is a practical sized bathroom/laundry, separate toilet and useful sunroom/entrance lobby. To top it off, a dry cellar with internal access!. Heaps of extras outside, including a carport to side, large concreted shed, pergola structure, and other sheds. All on nearly half an acre, with many well-established, shady trees and productive citrus. The house is oil heated and exceptionally cosy in winter, and with insulation throughout, cool as a cucumber in summer. Stylish living at an affordable price.

Another ’Pie scalp LEAGUE leaders Mallala were again too good for their opposition – this week claiming the scalp of a gallant Two Wells side that fought right to the end.

Despite the Roosters giving almost all they had it was their turn to feel the wrath of the league leaders who keep their 2009 unbeaten run intact.

Mallala was very clinical in the first half with Brad Griffiths at centre half forward and Brad Hardie on his wing both excellent. Despite Two Wells doing their best to match it with the Pies

Eighties fun at Two Wells THESE Two Wells footballers and netballers really got involved with the theme at the “Back to the 80s” night held by the newly combined Two Wells football and netball clubs last Saturday night.

APFL FOOTBALL IN REVIEW

My Call

Kym Jarman

the visitors on the rebound were far too good in doing what they do best – punishing opposition mistakes. This resulted in a 28 point win.

Joel Montgomerie provided the highlight of the day at Two Wells with a high mark, one reported as being a carbon copy of Gary Moorcroft from Essendon’s AFL mark of the year in 2001. The little gem is certainly having some sort of season in 2009.

In what was a very free flowing game for most of the day, the Pies built a handy lead early and kept the Roosters at arms length before the young home side fought back in the last term bringing the final margin back to a very respectable figure.

Although Mallala’s hold on the two match points may not have been in serious danger there were some impressive signs for

the Rooster faithful with their young players showing much character late in the day.

In the second half Wally Hand moved into ruck and Kahn Leighton, who was already sensational, moved onto Mallala’s dangerous wingman Brad Hardie.

The Hardie/Leighton matchup provided a great contest and both these moves by the Rooster coach certainly made a difference to his side as they made a late charge at the game.

Eventually time ran out!

Justin Antony, who is still developing as anAgrade forward, kicked a nice goal early and had heaps of the ball up forward in this match.

Although his pressure awareness will need to improve, he is well on track to become a dangerous forward at this level after being a dominant Reserves player for Two Wells in recent years Lee Allmond had plenty of it as always for the Roosters and Ned Seccafien worked hard all day also. n Continued Page 23
