Hayden’s second Plains Producer medal

Known for towering over his opposition and voicing his opinion for all to hear, there is no doubt Hayden (Whisky) Walker is one footballer who struggles to go unnoticed in the Adelaide Plains Football League.

Balaklava Peckers’bearded ruckman was voted the Plains Producer medallist for the 2010 season with 20 votes, ahead of Hummocks Watchman’s Jared Wilson with 17 and Mallala’s Jason Earl with 15.

Hamley Bridge netballer Ashleigh Koch won netball’s best and fairest award.

Love him or loathe him, Hayden’s leadership and antics bring colour and character to his game and highlights the passion he continues to have for football.

“I was very surprised,” Walker said.

“There are a lot of good footballers in

BRONTE HEWETT reports: the league this year. I was happy to be up there.”

The long-serving captain and Adelaide Plains association ruckman was proud of this achievement, but said football was a team sport.

“I would trade this medal in for a premiership any day,” he said.

Home grown in Balaklava, this is Walker’s second Plains Producer medal after taking the honour in 2006.

Balaklava Football Club president, Andrew Lane, said Walker’s season showed how passionate he was about football.

“He’s had a brilliant season leading the

Virginia v Mallala in the APFL grand final

club. He is so passionate about football and lets everyone know about it, including the umpires,” Mr Lane said.

“He’s a home grown talent who always has the club at heart.”

Mr Lane recognised Balaklava football and netball clubs for their success at the medal count.

“We are over the moon with the six runner-up awards, the Plains Producer medallist and Rob Michael as junior coach of the year.

So many awards shows our junior development is working,” Mr Lane said.

Balaklava A1 netballers play Hamley Bridge in the APNA grand final and the undefeated Pecker senior colts meet Two Wells in one of many finals at Balaklava on Saturday.

By Lauren Hermon Locals will benefit from Regional Development Australia’s (RDA) newly-devised Regional Road Map which highlights key plans for the region.

RDA’s chief executive officer, Kelly-Anne Saffin, was at Balaklava golf club on Monday evening to discuss important issues RDA aims to tackle in the region.

She addressed board members and Wakefield Regional Council’s (WRC) chief executive officer, Phil Barry, and mayor James Maitland, as well as other council and community leaders.

The comprehensive map, which Ms Saffin described as “a living and working document”, included a snapshot of the region with infrastructure, aged care, economic and business development and climate change as just some of the key sectors to address. n Continued Page 4

Battle to get oval prepared BALAKLAVA volunteers are working flat out to ensure the oval at Ralli Park is prepared for the Adelaide Plains Football League grand finals on Saturday – despite weather forecasts predicting rain all week.

Hockey games two weekends ago when the Adelaide Plains were awash and recent heavy rains left the oval carved up.

Some weekend sunshine had helped dry parts of the oval, but on Monday more rain came, with about 18mm dropped on Balaklava. This delayed plans to roll and top dress some badlyaffected areas of the sodden ground.

But Balaklava Football Club president, Andrew Lane, remained confident the oval would be in “peak condition” by Saturday.

“We’re preparing the oval as best we can, but we can’t help the weather,” Andrew said.

Weather forecasts for the region indicate a wet week ahead with continued rain expected every day, including Saturday and Sunday.

However, Andrew said all was on schedule for Saturday, when thousands will pack Ralli Park for a big day of country football and netball.

Mr Lane encourages football spectators with 4WDs to park on the second row – away from the boundary fence – to give others a chance to watch the game.

“We also encourage people to make use of the grandstand,” he said.

Entry will be via the western gate, off Whitwarta road. The northern gate along Werocata road will be closed.

With about 150 volunteers on the day and catering arrangements already made, Mr Lane said it would be a good day and a showcase for Balaklava Football Club.

No alcohol can be taken into the arena. Cars will be searched. Plenty of food and drink will be available around the ground At Balaklava Racing Club it was a slog through mud as marquees continued to be dismantled after the Cup Day on September 1.

Vehicles badly carved up grassed areas.

NAPLAN RESULTS:

Balaklava High students show improvement Balaklava High School students literacy skills have improved dramatically as shown in the NAPLAN test results received this Monday.

Most local schools have received the results of the National Assessment Program in Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) tests which were completed by students in May. Despite figures showing South Australian students failed to meet the national average in 95 per cent of literacy and numeracy indicators, BHS principal, Mark Healy, said students improved across all areas – particularly with a 16 per cent rise in the writing tests ‘mean’ score results.

“It’s a pleasing result,” Mr Healy said.

“Students have improved across all areas.

The school prides itself on the quality training of its staff,” he said.

“We’re heading in the right direction.”

Other local principals were reluctant to comment on the results.

Shadow Minister for Education, David Pisoni, said figures showed the state fell below the national average in 19 out of 20 categories in the NAPLAN tests.

He said years five, seven and nine students performed the worst in numeracy of all mainland states.

Tests compare schools’ academic scores with the results of statistically similar institutions, as well as to the national average. Results are expected to be posted out to parents by the end of the school term and made public on the ‘My School’ web site in December.

Plains Producer, Wednesday September 15, 2010

NEWS v District

Northern Expressway ‘start of great things’ TRavelling times to and from Adelaide will be shortened after the Northern Expressway was opened to traffic on Monday.

Opening of the $564 million road was celebrated on Sunday at a community party, which included a 47 km bicycle race, a community ride and family activities, with several roads closed or restricted during the day.

The Northern Expressway provides a 23km, four lane, non stop link between Port Wakefield road near Waterloo corner and the Sturt Hwy at Gawler.

While it cuts travelling time for motorists heading to and from Gawler by about 20 min-

utes, it will also have benefits for freight and traffic flow on surrounding arterial roads.

It is expected to take noisy, polluted trucks away from residential areas in the northern suburbs and provide an economic boost for freight operators.

Transport Minister Patrick Conlon said the road opened three months ahead of schedule.

Federal member for Wakefield, Nick Champion, said the opening of the Expressway was the beginning of great things to come for the north.

“From a proposed route on a map to reality in just four years is testament to the ability of

the northern community to embrace a challenge and reap the rewards of hard work,” Mr Champion said.

“It will be the more efficient and alternative route to Main North road and will reduce traffic volume through Elizabeth and Salisbury, making local roads safer,” he said.

Mr Champion said not only would the Expressway lower transport costs, it would greatly improve access to the Barossa Valley, the Riverland and regions beyond– which was great news for local economies.

The largest road project in the SA since the 1960s, wetlands capable of capturing 12.5 giga-

litres of water a year have also been created.

Light Regional Council has been given $500,000 for a study into transformation of the basins to an aquifer storage and recovery scheme, which would waterproof Gawler, reduce flood risk and create habitat.

Mallala, Gawler, Playford and Salisbury councils have joined Light to seek federal funding for the $45 million project. About $18 million has already been invested.

If the funding attempt is successful, a water treatment and harvesting wetland, to harvest 2.5 gigalitres of water in its first year, would be created.

Champion quiet on his Caucus comments Member for Wakefield, Nick Champion, has gone to ground after sections of the media reported him urging Labor ministers to be more “out-spoken” in Caucus.

But he did not want to comment on his remarks in the Plains Producer, particularly after a column by political commentator Laurie Oakes appeared in The Advertiser on Saturday.

Mr Champion was reported last Thursday after Labor’s first parliamentary meeting since the election. He allegedly called on the Labor party leadership to be more responsive to Caucus.

Mr Champion welcomed last week’s historic agreement between the Labor Party, Greens and Independents, saying it would benefit communities such as Balaklava, Clare, Kapunda and other towns.

The Gillard government will invest up to an additional $10 billion to deliver better health, hospital, education, infrastructure and broadband to regions.

Clare fire

A large amount of smoke was visible in and around the Clare Valley for several hours on Monday.

The smoke was due to a structure fire at a car care and accessories shop on Main North road at Clare. Almost 60 CFS volunteers from nine appliances responded.

RECENT rain may have local farmers smiling, but they are also aware of the damage “too much” rain can have on their crops.

Crops, especially beans and lentils, are particularly susceptible to fungal diseases such as ‘chocolate spot’ in beans and ‘grey mould’ in lentils.

Hoyleton farmer Chris Chapman, had between 50–70mm of rain on different parts of his farm until Thursday last week.

Chris said while things were “looking good,” he would keep an eye out

Lauren Hermon reports:

for the possibility of damaging crop diseases.

“While its been the best rain for about six years, it would be ideal if the rain stops for a couple of weeks, then we had a bit more at the end of the month,” Chris said.

Chris and his family are pictured with ‘Nipper’ lentils, in the background.

According to Chris, lentils are prone

to disease when the crop stays wet because of humidity when the weather starts warming up to 20C or higher.

But Chris remains hopeful.

“They’re still okay at this stage,” he said.

Rural Directions agronomist, Tony Craddock, said the recent rain was above average and was good for the district’s farmers.

However, he said the continued onset of rain could “create challenges” for farmers with foliar diseases being found in certain crops.

“Stripe rust is already present in the district, and with perfect rainfall, can multiply,” Tony said.

“It’s important growers be vigilant and apply fungicides to crops to protect them,” he said.

However, continued wet weather might prevent farmers from accessing paddocks.

Co-owner of Balaklava’s Landmark, Shayn Faehrmann, said the accessibility of fungicides may become “short” with the “demand far greater than the supply.”

Community Caterers gets a whopping $11,000 from Cup day It was a record return for Balaklava Community Caterers, with a phenomenal $11,500 raised at this year’s Balaklava Cup – serving nearly 13,000 hungry racegoers!

Balaklava Community Caterers treasurer of two years, Ken Nelson, said during the eight years he had been involved he had not seen a busier day than at this year’s Cup. About 70 volunteers from Balak-

BALAKLAVA

lava and the district helped out. Ken, who described the day as very busy, said they “sold out of almost everything.”

“To count the amount of sandwiches and pies and pasties we sold would be impossible,” Ken said.

“However, I do know there was about 120 kilograms of chips served on the day!” he said.

Regional ‘road map’

•From Page 1 Ms Saffin said improvements in educating farmers would happen with prior learning offered to farmers in the second generation.

“We’re looking at providing assistance to second generation farmers by helping them to obtain truck and forklift licences,” Ms Saffin said.

According to Ms Saffin, RDA’s work is already being implemented in the broadband sector and offering learning to students ‘outside’ of the classroom with the creation of trade training centres.

Ms Saffin also highlighted the importance of health, stating it was a “priority” in the region.

“Expanded drug services, cancer services, transport for those with disabilities and improving the patients’ journey are key highlights in the map also,” Ms Saffin said.

Ms Saffin said the new regional priorities were a good start to improving regional areas.

She said Labor’s recent announcement of a $10 billion package for regional areas was a welcomed addition.

“We’re excited by any type of regional funding to improve our regions,” she said.

Ms Saffin said the Regional Road Map was a document which the board hoped to aspire to and fulfil its goals of improving the region while working with key stakeholders.

Funding will be pursued from a range of private and public partnerships.

The map can be found on RDA’s website in the coming weeks.

‘Messing’ about on stage

Local students took to the stage for their end of year performance on Monday night.

Students from Balaklava High School, primary school and Horizon Christian School, performed ‘A Right Royal Mess’ – a play about a King and Queen who search for someone to marry their daughter.

• Pictured in royal attire (from left), rear, are Imogen Coles and Jared Pratt and front, Tenayah Renshaw, Meghan Baker and Sophie Parker.

Students also performed individual drama performances – from poetry readings to monologues.

Council candidates must nominate by Tuesday

The nomination period for candidates in local government elections closes at noon next Tuesday, September 21.

Several interested potential candidates attended an information meeting at Wakefield Regional Council (WRC) last Thursday.

Informally known as one for some time – it has now been made official: Leith Jenkins is a legend.

Thirty-five years of service to the Royal Adelaide Show has earned the Riverton resident show legend status, which was celebrated at a ceremony last Wednesday, September 8.

Mr Jenkins first became involved in the show in 1956. He later joined as a councillor on the poultry and pigeon committee in 1975, with a long running passion for pigeons.

Last year, Mr Jenkins retired from his 14-year position as chairman of the poultry and pigeon committee, but is still involved as a member.

The 70-year-old said he was honoured to receive the award.

“I’m very honoured and I never thought I was in that age group, he said.

“I’m sincerely thankful to the board.”

But Mr Jenkins believed there was someone else who deserved an award just as much.

“My wife deserves a medal for putting up with chooks in the lounge room and lambs being washed in the house,” Mr Jenkins said.

Mr Jenkins has been heavily involved in many aspects of the show, including using his own donkey to

Swimming season kicks off in October and the club is hoping more footballers and netballers will join in as an alternative off-season sport.

Committee member and swimmer Kristian Whitaker said if more people from the Adelaide Plains joined the club, it could possibly become the biggest country swimming club in the state.

“The Adelaide Plains is one of the only regions in the state which doesn’t have a fully functioning swimming club and we are interested in building upon the existing members that we have from the region,” she said.

Budget plan to upgrade school bus fleet Local private school bus contractors should benefit from a State government investment of $90.7 million on new and renewed operator contracts over the next four years.

All new contractors will be required to provide buses with seatbelts and air-conditioning.

Local bus operator, Barry Taylor, said he had been aware of the new requirements for some time after two years of discussions and negotiations.

Mr Taylor said he expected the new requirements to be introduced some time after December this year. He said it should be beneficial to local bus operators.

“I think we will all be able to see the start of better quality buses when the new features are introduced,” Mr Taylor said.

Education Minister, Jay Weatherill, said it was “right” for the government to invest in “ensuring students, many of whom live in remote areas, are able to travel to school in

comfort and safety.”

“There are more than 500 free school bus services – mostly in rural areas – that take more than 16,000 students to and from school,” Mr Weatherill said.

The Department of Education and Children’s Services (DECS) will also allocate $23.7 million to buy 97 new DECS buses over the four-year term, with $19 million to be injected into the scheme for tomorrow’s (Thursday’s) state Budget.

Currently 226 school bus services are owned and operated by DECS and 283 are contracted among 112 bus operators. Under a contract arrangement started in 2000, all of those contracts expire between 2010 and 2016.

The government will move to a new twostage procurement process for each route, or cluster of routes, to seek expressions of interest and then either choose to directly negotiate with operators or move to a tender process.

Driving safely in all conditions

We often take for granted things we do regularly. Like driving. We assume that our existing skills will enable us to handle all situations, even those rarely experienced - like driving in the snow or heavy fog. It pays to check how up to date we are with road rules or techniques for dealing with different on-road situations.

Key safety hints

• Anticipate what might happen by looking ahead and closely observing the movement of other traffic wherever you drive.

• Expect the unexpected in city driving and take extra care when changing lanes, overtaking, going through intersections and driving at night.

• Keep a greater distance to the car in front when driving on rural roads and overtake only when safe - never rush or lose patience.

• Take a 15 minute powernap whenever you feel drowsy or sleepy.

• When driving conditions become difficult or extreme through rain, fog, snow or glare reduce your speed accordingly.

The Adelaide Plains Road Safety Group Inc. meets on the 3rd. Wednesday of each month at 7pm at the old Council Chambers, Old Port Wakefield Rd, and Two Wells.

Pisoni, said South Australians would have to wait a decade by the time the State government fitted their state-owned school buses with seatbelts.

“Today, only 88 out of 226 state-owned school buses have seatbelts, with the government announcing it will take another six years before the entire fleet has been fitted,” Mr Pisoni said.

According to Mr Pisoni, the Liberal party committed to fitting seatbelts to all school buses by September last year, including those owned and operated by DECS and the buses contracted to private operators.

“By the time the State government gets around to fitting all our school buses with seatbelts, a decade will have passed and many students would have gone their entire school careers without access to a safe ride from school,” he said.

“When we renew these contracts we need to ensure we continue to provide the highest possible quality of service for children at the best value for money.

“The procurement process will enable us to negotiate quickly and directly with existing operators, or where appropriate, to test the market.

“The procurement process will take into account individual operators’records of providing quality service,” Mr Weatherill said.

Mr Taylor and business partner, fellow bus operator, Gary Simon, said they were “in the process of trying to renew” their expiring contracts.

According to Mr Weatherill, a panel of suppliers will also be established to assist contractors to purchase new buses where necessary. Industry briefings will be held in key regional centres.

A Lewiston house was broken into twice over the weekend. The Dawkins road house, which is under construction, was first broken into on Friday, September 10.

Then on the second occasion, the owner caught two people allegdly breaking in on Sunday, September 12.

Police were called and they arrested a 17-year-old man and 20-year-old woman, both from Lewiston.

Both were charged with three counts of serious criminal trespass, three counts of property damage and one count of theft.

On the second occasion a further large hole was made in the ceiling of the living room and several holes in the walls of the home. Some items including food stuffs and beer were also stolen. These items were located in the roof cavity where it appeared the offenders had been spending some considerable time.

The total damage bill was about $1000.

Both offenders were interviewed and later bailed to appear at Elizabeth Magistrates Court at a later date.

NEWS v District NOLLENE AND NATASHA TEAM UP AGAIN:

Show girls ready for another success They’ve been putting on quite a show for many years now, but Balaklava’s mother and daughter duo, Nollene and Natasha Grigg are far from finished.

Balaklava Show secretary, Nollene, and assistant secretary, Natasha, have together given a total of 40 years service to the show.

Saturday, September 25, isn’t any different as Nollene and Natasha gear up for the 132nd annual Balaklava Show.

Nollene, who has been involved with show proceedings for about 25 years, is a past Balaklava Show president and is now secretary and treasurer.

Natasha was secretary for 11 years and is now assistant secretary.

After entering the cooking and caged birds competitions, Nollene wanted to have more of an impact and get involved in the day which brings the community together and a smile to children’s faces.

New to this year’s show is the Australia Post “Aussie Letterbox” competition. It’s a bit of fun – with entries to be judged at Kapunda Show next month.

Get the show book or contact Nollene

Lauren Hermon reports: or Natasha for entry details.

Prizes include $100 for each association competition winner and $50 for each association runner-up.

According to Nollene, this year’s show won’t be short of entertainment.

“Live music is back,” Nollene said.

Country rock band, Lee Brocky and Outback Overdrive will be performing on the day and Wobbles the clown will make an appearance.

“There is also a large entry of horses this year,” Nollene said. And as usual, there’s the popular sideshow rides and games, sheep shearing and more.

You can even show off your artistic side in the photography competition.

And amongst the many country cooks entering, the CWA ladies will also bake-off in a scone competition.

Love is recipe for top steak Doncho’s Café Restaurant at Virginia Nursery is well in the running to be named Steak Champions of Australia.

Australia’s National Steak Champion in the Pepperjack Battle of the Steaks has reached the half way mark as the competition heats up and Doncho’s is currently appearing on the leader board of a nationwide search.

But locals need to get to Doncho’s Café Restaurant at Virginia Garden Centre to vote for them to help them make it to the final cook-off on October 14 in Sydney, where the chef can fight for the chance to become national champion.

Donchos’ chef, Frankie Gioia said cooking a good steak was not a matter of skill.

“A good steak is cooked with love. Everything with love. And a good quality cut of meat,” he said.

Shown in the photo is a Chef’s special called Doncho’s Saganaki Angus Steak, which is premium Angus Steak served with spinach, scolloped potatoes and topped with a prawn saganaki sauce.

Voting is underway now and closes on September 30. Diners who order a glass of Pepperjack with their steak, from a participating venue, can vote via SMS if they deem the steak worthy.

Diners who vote will also be in the running to win a trip to Buenos Aires, the steak capital of the world, valued at $10,000.

TWVIC will cease trading on October 8 to allow for renovations to take place, with the premises planned to be handed to council on October 15 and reopened on November 29.

Council offered Two Wells’ Regional Action Team (TWRAT) space in the old council chambers to store files.

To enable TWRAT volunteers to continue operating a visitor centre from the premises, DCM also offered space for volunteers to work from and an area for brochures.

Up to eight council staff could be housed at the council-owned premises, which has been leased to TWRAT for about eight years.

It is proposed renovations will include painted exterior, new reception desk, waiting area, notice board and relandscaped front garden.

special feature v Hart Field Days

Get the latest farm research at Hart graingrowers will get a “one-stop-shop” packed with information on a wide range of agronomy and crop variety topics at Hart Field Day next Tuesday, September 21.

And for anyone needing extra incentive to visit Hart, two tonnes of certified seed – including a tonne of Scout wheat seed and a tonne of PBA Gunya pea seed – will be given away as a gate prize to farmers registering before 10am.

The 28th annual field day begins at 10am (gates open at 9am) and continues until 3.30pm, with participants able to choose their own combination of speakers, dependant on individual interests.

Everything from herbicide tolerance and phosphorus fertilisers to water use efficiency and wheat varieties will be covered.

Hart Field-Site Group trials manager, Peter Hooper, said it was an excellent opportunity to hear  the latest research

Variety of topics at popular field day

and trials information straight from the researchers.

“There’s a huge variety of topics. Any farmer should be able to come along and see interesting and relevant speakers,” he said.

“Even if they’re not interested particularly in the trials, all the researchers are there to have a chat with over lunch. It’s a great chance to meet researchers and an ideal opportunity to have direct access to these grain industry professionals.”

Mr Hooper said with a larger area of lentils being grown in South Australia this year, the lentil agronomy and harvesting sessions would be valuable.

PLENTY of interest at last year’s Hart Field Day.

n GRDC crop trials tour – Page 15 South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) research scientist, Larn McMurray, and Yorke Peninsula lentil grower Kyle Holman will lead the sessions focussing on maintaining lentil quality and harvesting.

These speakers should be well received, given the arrival of lentil processor, Australian Milling Group (AMG), to ex-

panded facilities worth $10 million at the former Balco Grains Services site at Bowmans.

Horsham-based AMG is a subsidiary of world leader in lentil and pea-splitting, Canadian company Alliance Grain Traders.

Fenceline weed control is another interesting topic of relevance to all farmers and will be led

by Dr Chris Preston, from

field to demonstrate how to accurately test head moisture for crop topping, and Glenn McDonald from Adelaide University will have a heat chamber to demonstrate the effect of heat stress during grain fill.

Those needing to take a break during the day will be well informed by renowned climate researcher Peter Hayman, from the Waite campus, who will give a 2010 update on climate change.

Peter will be in a marquee and Mr Hooper

Adelaide University.

“Chris will be looking at how we can better control weeds along fencelines and avoid herbicide resistance,” Mr Hooper said.

Well-known researchers Trent Potter, Rob Wheeler and Jason Eglington will return for this year’s event, leading sessions on canola, wheat and barley varieties.

Jeff Braun will have a microwave set up in the

NEWS v District BIG CROWD AT MEETING:

Community support for Snowtown skate park

Wind hits vegie crops Tom Musolino with damaged potato crops at Buckland Park.

Recent stormy weather damaged vegetable crops in the Virginia region, with potatoes substantially affected.

Carrot, potato, cauliflower and brocolli grower, Rocco Musolino said “the spuds got knocked around a bit because of the wind.”

“Some things have survived alright, mainly the more mature vegetables, but the spuds got knocked around,” said Rocco, adding the devastation would probably affect growers’ yields at potato harvest in November.

“I anticipate prices may escalate to some degree in November,” he said.

While the wind was a downfall, the rain provided some relief for growers.

“Too much rain is better than not enough,” Rocco’s son, Tom said. He was

Bronte Hewett reports:

hoping for follow-up rains. The industry has faced what growers have suggested are the lowest retail vegetable prices for the winter period in more than five years.

Mr Musolino has been growing vegetables in Virginia for 25 years and said he didn’t believe consumers were reaping the full benefit of the cheap prices growers received for their produce.

Spokesperson for Australia’s peak vegetable body AugVeg, Andrew White, said while growers were receiving a steady return, it was not going to be sustainable long term.

“It’s vital consumers continue to support Australian growers and our local rural economies, particularly given the

currently very affordable retail vegetable prices which are offering consumers some real bargains,” Mr White said.

According to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the biggest declines in production in 2008/09 were for capsicums, chillies and peppers which were down by 16.7 per cent, potatoes at 15.8 per cent lower and watermelons which were 13.8 per cent lower than the year before.

On a positive note, Mr White said many growers were currently benefiting from a high turnover in vegetable volumes by the major retailers.

“A higher turnover of vegetables at reasonable prices is resulting in steadier, sustainable returns for growers and better buying opportunities for consumers.”

Doctors ‘worried’ over rural health Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s axeing of the dedicated portfolio of Indigenous Health, Rural and Regional Health and Regional Services Delivery was “extremely disappointing and of serious concern”, the Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) warned.

Commenting on Ms Gillard’s announcement last weekend of her new Cabinet team, RDAA president, Dr Nola Maxfield, said: “We are very worried about losing the dedicated portfolio for Indigenous, rural and regional health after just one term of government.

“We assume Prime Minister Gillard believes rural, regional and indigenous health will fall within the new Regional Australia and Regional Development portfolio, of which Simon Crean will be Minister “Is Prime Minister Gillard seriously saying the problems confronting indigenous and rural health have been fully resolved, and a dedicated portfolio for it is no longer required? We seriously hope not!”

Dr Maxfield said indigenous, rural and regional health was in a state of continuing crisis, and as such it continued to need a

dedicated portfolio under a specific Minister.

“That Minister must have the power to direct policies, funding and projects directly through the Australian Department of Health and Ageing, not another department,” Dr Maxfield said.

“Any attempt to progress rural and regional health policy through any federal department outside the Australian Department of Health and Ageing will be an uphill battle to say the least.

“We urge Prime Minister Gillard to seriously reconsider her decision to axe the indigenous, rural and regional health portfolio.

RDAA was disappointed it would not have the opportunity to again work with (former minister) Warren Snowdon to progress health issues.

“Mr Snowdon showed an immense dedication to—and deep understanding of—the many challenges impacting on the rural health sector, as well as the difficulties those living in rural and remote Australia constantly face in accessing healthcare,” Dr Maxfield said.

“Minister Snowdon’s deep understanding of the sector came partly from his many years of liv-

ing in regional Australia, but also because he was always very willing to genuinely listen to the concerns of rural Australians and rural health professionals about critical rural health issues.

“We are encouraged the portfolio of Regional Australia and Regional Development has been given to Simon Crean, a highly experienced federal politician and Minister. We look forward to working with him and the Federal Minister for Health and Ageing, Nicola Roxon, to progress indigenous and rural health issues within their portfolios.

• Meanwhile, the Leader of the Nationals, Warren Truss, claims Labor had again failed to appoint a regional MP to Cabinet.

Mr Truss said Ms Gillard had been given the chance of a lifetime to appoint someone to Cabinet who lived outside a major city – “but either arrogantly rejected the opportunity or could not find anyone with enough talent.”

“It appears Labor’s much talked about new approach to the regions is nothing more than swapping the regional affairs job from one MP who lives in inner Sydney to another who lives in inner Melbourne.”

Plans for a skate park in Snowtown are underway with a committee set up to explore the cost, construction and location of the proposed facility.

An astounding 88 people attended a public meeting at the town hall, chaired by the chair of Snowtown Community Management Committee (SCMC) last Wednesday where the proposal for a skate park in the town was endorsed unanimously by members.

The team of volunteers who will research and play a role in the planning of the project, in conjunction with SCMC and Wakefield Regional Council (WRC), comprise two Snowtown Area School students and five parents.

A group of local primary school students will also be involved in the planning as part of a shadow committee, providing their ideas and feedback.

SCMC chairman, Paul McCormack, said the proposal was well received by the community who showed their support for the proposal.

“The committee received 59 letters from Snowtown Area School students requesting a skate park facility be built in the town,” Mr McCormack said.

A number of key speakers were invited to give a clear picture of costs, insurance and legal implications, type of construction, maintenance, community involvement and location.

WRC community development officer, David Woodroofe, a key figure in planning Balaklava’s proposed skate park, said the turn-out of community support was impressive and positive.

“It was probably the best community meeting I’ve been to,” Mr Woodroofe said.

“There was a cross-section between young people and grandparents,” he said.

Mr Woodroofe, on behalf of WRC, will continue to work with the committee in the planning stages.

The proposal for the facility was made after netball and tennis courts were damaged after inappropriate use as a skating area.

December 15 for digital TV

Digital television switchover will happen December 15 this year in most parts of the region.

Representatives from the Federal government Digital Switchover Taskforce attended a recent Central Local Government Region meeting to give an update on the progress of the switch-over.

Councils sought clarification on a number of issues including: the extent of terrestrial/broadcaster digital transmission; identification of local

blackspots; arrangements for access to the new satellite service; availability of the subsidy scheme; arrangements for households with multiple televisions and local commercial operators such as caravan parks and motels.

Digital switchover liaison officer, Louise Sladdin, will support communities in the switchover and will be visiting country shows in coming weeks.

Contact Louise on the digital switchover hotline on 1800 201 013 or visit www.digitalready.gov.au.

Heritage Highlights

Balaklava Companies of bygone days have included all types of business ventures, but did you know there were also gold mining companies, too?

In the “Adelaide Observer” newspaper dated July 4, 1874, reference was made to “Balaklava Company – Waukaringa”.

“The Balaklava Gold Reef adjoins the Alma property and is 15 miles east of Waukaringa. Claim 55 at Balaklava Reef has been proved.”

Recorded in Change and Challenge, the Balaklava Gold Mining Company Limited was incorporated as a company in November 1875, with a nominal capital of 6000 pounds, divided into 3000 shares of two pounds value each.

The objects of the company included the purchase from the present owners of all their interests in Quartz Claims numbered

by Norma Schopp

54, 55, 66, 67, 209-211, 333-337 in the Waukaringa District, known as the Balaklava Claims. Apparently, there were no Balaklava people listed in the company.

The Balaklava Freehold Goldmining Company was a no liability company registered under the Mining Companies Act 1881, which purchased Lease No68 consisting of claims 473 and 485, Waukaringa.

The lessee was William John Brook, and it appears the lease was forfeited in 1885 for nonpayment of rent.

There was also the Alma Gold

Mining Company which, coincidence or otherwise, adjoined the Balaklava Gold Mining Co’s leases.

It is reported the Alma company spent 72,000 pounds working the mine between 1874 and 1887, without declaring a single dividend.

Following the great success of mines at Kapunda and Burra, the Balaklava Iron and Copper Company No Liability was formed in 1893, aiming to purchase, take or lease, or otherwise acquire several Mineral Leases situated in the Parish of Sebastopol, County of Yancowinni in the Colony of New South Wales.

There did not appear to be any local identities listed among the shareholders.

Leaving mining behind, there was also the Balaklava Co-operative Sheep Dipping, Sheep Shearing and

Motor Repair Company Limited.

Formed in August 1921 and incorporated a month later, the company’s objectives were, “to supply all plant, labour, expertise, etc., to completely attend in detail every possible aspect connected with the various headings.”

This company voluntarily wound up in 1937, selling the sheep dip to SA Farmers Co-op.

Local names connected with the formation of this company included William Tiller, Charles Walter Mills, Thomas Smart, Johann Ernst Albert Baum, Patrick Francis Kiely, Herbert Milton Tuck and Walter Curtis Cooper.

Thomas Smart was listed as a stock agent, while the others were listed as farmers or graziers.

At the time of winding up, the directors were listed as James Spillane, William Tiller and Hartley Goldney.

A leading veterinarian is reminding pet owners there are a number of legitimate deductions associated with the upkeep of canine companions at tax time.

Dr Mark Perissinotto said there were no specific rules covering animals, but tax deductions could be claimed on a caseby-case basis with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

“Food, vaccination and veterinary expenditure, for example, can be partly claimed as deductions from gross income in certain circumstances where dogs can be proven

Doggie deductions in taxing times to assist in the course of income production,’’ Mr Perissinotto said.

Costs associated with the upkeep of guard dogs, guide dogs, watch dogs and working farm dogs could be classified as legitimate work expenses and therefore claimed, according to VetShopAustralia.

Tax benefits were just one of the great incentives to get dogs involved in appropriate work environments according to Dr Perissinotto, whose VetShopAustralia practice has

an “open pet” policy allowing staff to not only bring their pets to work, but to take carer’s leave when their animals are sick.

“Dogs at the office contribute benefits that translate to increased productivity and joy on the job,’’ he said.

“They help build staff morale and camaraderie, reduce stress and stimulate employee creativity, and as any employer

will know, a happier workplace results in enhanced job performance.”

However, Dr Perissinotto said an open pet policy would not suit all workplaces.

“Companies should ask employees for their thoughts and opinions on the idea and ensure everyone is comfortable with having pets in their working environment,” Dr Perissinotto said.

NEWS v District

Signs are good for Lewiston wetlands Lewiston wetlands will now be more apparent following the erection of 12 signs to define the Lewiston wetland and reserve trail.

The signage includes mapping and information at each major location, linking remote vegetation reserves throughout Lewiston.

The project was funded jointly by District Council of Mallala and council’s greening committee.

Adopt-a-Town’s ‘Cans for Community’ fundraiser is proving successful with more than $1000 raised.

About $170 was raised at the recent Balaklava Cup after the racing club allowed the committee to place recycling bins at the racecourse.

Adopt-a-Town leader, Joy Woodroofe said she was delighted the club allowed the committee to use the Cup as part of fund-raising efforts.

Long Plains, Hamley Bridge and Balaklava football clubs also donated about $200 each.

Adopt-a-Town will have recycling bins at the upcoming Balaklava Show and APFL grand final as it targets $5,000 to support projects in Victoria’s Callignee and Traralgon South communities affected by last year’s bushfires.

14km return, beginning at either Dawkins road or Fletcher reserve.

It is ideal for horses or people on foot.

The signs incorporate Aunger ponds, Hams reserve, Camel reserve, Fletcher reserve and also feature at each road

crossing. Pat said now was an excellent time to visit the various reserves in the wetlands following heavy rainfall.

“It is the most water I have ever seen in there, it’s fantastic to actually see so much there.”

Flood fight remains expensive The Gawler River Floodplain Management Authority (GRFMA) key outcomes summary revealed three major projects had been completed since its inception eight years ago.

Along with minor projects and ongoing management of infrastructure, projects to date include construction of the Bruce Eastick North Para Flood Mitigation Dam (2007), modifications to the dam wall and spillway to the South Para Reservoir (to be built during 2011) and Gawler River Flood Mapping (2008).

GRFMA co-ordinates councils in managing flood mitigation infrastructure associated with the Gawler River. These include District Council of Mallala (DCM), the City of Playford, Town of Gawler, The Barossa Council, Light Regional Council and Adelaide Hills Council.

Bronte Hewett reports: DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, said all councils contributed financially to the establishment of the GRFMA and to its ongoing operations through annual subscriptions.

“As the GRFMA was established as a regional subsidiary of the constituent councils, it is a requirement of each council to reflect the financial position of the GRFMA in the council’s financial statements,” Mr Mansueto said.

In 2010 the annual subscription for DCM was about $8,000.

Additional to the council’s contributions, the initial funding of $20m to establish the GRFMA included contributions from both Federal and State government and the Northern Adelaide Barossa Catchment Water Management Board. o Advertising Feature

Greening committee member Pat Wake said the signs would promote assets of the area.

“It’s just about giving more signage to the areas and identifying the reserves within the area,” Pat said.

The trail is 7km or

the equity that has been built up over time by the GRFMA. “That is, its the difference between the assets and the liabilities of the organisation,” Mr Mansueto said.

“This equity is allocated out to the individual councils each year based on the ratio of their contributions over time.

“In our case the allocation was 28.38 per cent which was $4.7 million for this equity in the GRFMA. Council has outlaid in real cash $1.2 million.

“The difference is predominately associated with the additional funding put in by the others, for example, the state and federal governments.”

If the GRFMA was to no longer exist it does not mean council would get $4.7m in cash as this value is tied up in infrastructure assets.

The GRFMA is a regional subsidiary so cannot, as occurs in private enterprise, be sold off and members/shareholders gain a return.

NEWS v Farming LOCAL FARMS FOCUS OF GRDC TOUR:

Trials prove science works Members of the Grain Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) visited two farms in the region last Wednesday as part of the annual Southern Regional Panel spring tour.

During the week-long tour, the panel assessed research priorities and important industry issues and travelled throughout South Australia from September 6–10.

The tour of growers’ properties, research facilities and trial sites incorporated Pinery scientist and farmer Andy Barr’s trial site and Andy Griffith’s property at Mallala.

The tour also visited Hart Field Days site and a pulse crop at Kybunga, as well as farms on the Yorke Peninsula, Mid North and Eyre Peninsula.

The group visiting the region included panel members, Andy Barr, Richard Konzag, Andrew Rice, Chris Blanchard, GRDC Executive manager legal and procurement Geoff Budd, GRDC board member Colin Butcher, and project manager plant breeding, Alok Kumar.

Mr Barr had two hectares of land for trailing new and exciting technologies in pesticides and fungicides.

“It’s beneficial to farming regions as these trials can provide new technologies available and research opportunities to farmer

Mr Barr said the trial of Bayer CropScience products at his property had proved to be working well.

He said the products were reducing the amount of rye grass, which usually caused trouble.

Spokesperson for GRDC, Sharon Watt said the tour provided critical insights into the research, development and extension needs and requirements of local grain growers.

“The tour also enabled the panel to assess first-hand the impact and relevance of GFDC-funded research and development in the region,” Ms Watt said.

Better yields, reliability in new peas Two new field pea varieties to be launched this spring will offer growers in the southern region more options to manage and optimise their field pea production.

The new varieties, PBA Gunyah and PBA Twilight, are the latest varieties on offer from Pulse Breeding Australia (PBA). They will be available through PBA’s field pea commercial partner AWB Seeds for the 2011 growing season.

They will be released in South Australia next Tuesday, September 21, at the Hart Field day.

Leader of the PBA field pea breed-

Mice remain a threat

Grain farmers are reminded their crops remain under threat from mice.

They have been warned not to drop their guard at recent Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) research Updates.

Greg Mutze from Biosecurity SA said mice numbers were currently higher than usual in some areas, particularly in South Australia, at a time when ripening crops were approaching a vulnerable stage.

“The current situation is of concern because mice can cause significant damage at head emergence in crops,” Mr Mutze said.

“The same number of mice will in fact do more damage at this time than at harvest, because seeds at head emergence lack nutrient quantity and each mouse can remove hundreds of potential grains each night.”

Mr Mutze said even if mice had not

been a problem at seeding, damage may occur as crops continue to grow and ripen.

In South Australia, the most affected area this year has been the central and western Eyre Peninsula, while there have also been scattered problems in parts of the Mid North, northern Adelaide Plains, northern Yorke Peninsula and Murray Mallee.

Changes in farming practices, such as no-till and fewer livestock, are believed to have contributed to the increase.

Mr Mutze advised growers to keep a close eye on developing crops because once other food sources for mice declined, their attack on crops could be quite sudden and severe.

•A survey of mouse damage is being undertaken by Mr Mutze and he welcomes input from growers. Email greg. mutze@sa.gov.au or call 8303 9505.

ing program, Tony Leonforte, says PBA Gunyah and PBA Twilight will provide the same agronomic benefits of the existing variety Kaspa, in relation to lodging and pod shatter resistance at harvest. But both are much earlier flowering, and have significantly higher grain yield and will be more reliable in low to medium rainfall environments.

“Growers in low rainfall regions have the option of growing both PBA Gunyah and PBA Twilight to manage the risk of low seasonal rainfall or paddock variability and still market grain from either variety as ‘Kaspa type’.

“Both varieties are better suited than Kaspa to the practices of delayed sowing for disease management and crop topping to control annual ryegrass.”

Mr Leonforte says variety brochures will be available for both PBA Gunyah and PBA Twilight to assist growers with making variety choices and managing these field peas for optimal crop performance.

Release of the varieties is supported by growers and the Australian Government through the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) and PBA partner agencies.

PRELIMINARY FINAL, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 11

Grand final a Rams v Magpies clash

The Virginia Rams won their way into this year’s APFL A grade grand final, with a 37 point win over perennial finalists Hummocks-Watchman Eagles in the preliminary final at Virginia Oval on Saturday.

Although the Rams finished fourth at the end of this year’s minor round, after defeating Balaklava in last Sunday’s knockout final, Virginia had a degree of luck on their side in regards to drawing a home preliminary final fixture.

TheAPFL southerners made the most of what was a tough and tight encounter, comprehensively strangling the Eagles with pressure, moving the ball with pace and hitting the contest with enormous confidence – storming their way into this week’s “big dance” at Balaklava, where they will take on reigning (and minor) premiers, the Mallala Magpies.

Interestingly, in the reserves grade on Saturday Mallala defeated Two Wells to also win their way through to the grand final from fourth place.

The Rams, coached by former Port Adelaide legend Greg Phillips set up their preliminary final victory by making the most of early opportunities inside forward 50. Unlike their opponent HummocksWatchman Eagles, who peppered the goal face early in the match and could only manage behinds, Virginia goaled three times from their first four forward entries. This was despite having limited possession in the first 10 minutes.

Although the Eagles would have been happy with their midfielders winning their share of early ball and banging forward with a typical “no fuss” approach – those early misses, although some were very tough, did have a bearing as it eventually took the 2008 premiers until the half way mark of the second term to register their first goal.

That goal, kicked by Shane Braham was their first in five quarters of football (considering in last week’s treacherous conditions the Eagles kicked 1-5 for the match).

Hummocks-Watchman are so often a side able to apply great pressure to the opposition and force turnovers. On Saturday, although neither side took a backwards step, it was the Rams who swarmed around the contests and forced

By Kym Jarman the Eagles into making uncharacteristic skill errors and second guessing their first options.

With the Rams keeping the Eagles goal less in the first quarter and to just one solitary goal to half time, they knew their pressure was getting the job done – and they held all the cards.

Certainly once Eagles midfield linchpins, captain Jared Wilson (knee) and vice captain Shane Braham (dislocated elbow) went off injured, both in the second term, it was always going to be a long way back for the Eagles – who would have needed a sublime third quarter to get themselves back into the match.

As it turns out, after half time the Eagles came out with an increased intensity, however again their good work went un-rewarded as it was the Rams who seemed to have an uncanny knack of prying the ball free of the congested areas and once finding free men wide, they turned their possessions into scoring opportunities.

Given the match was a relatively low scoring encounter (although the margin at three quarter time was under four goals), the Rams didn’t look like relinquishing – going on to win comfortably.

This Saturday, the Rams will feature in their first A grade grand final since 1998, while Hummocks-Watchman Eagles are left to rue missed opportunities in their low scoring second semi final encounter a week prior. In honesty, the Eagles (who led for three and a half quarters in last week’s second semi final), were only a kick and seven minutes away from playing in this weekend’s grand final.

Still, the way the finals series has unfolded in 2010 shows the great evenness of the current APFL competition.

This weekend’s APFL A grade grand final will be a re-match of the 1997 grand final, when these two sides met at the same venue.

On that occasion, the Rams also came from the knockout final to play off.

Mallala won (Virginia did bounce back the next year to defeat United in 1998’s grand final).

RESERVES PRELIMINARY FINAL, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 11

Maggies through to 2006 rematch

Mallala 11-6 (72) d Two Wells 8-5 (53)

The Magpies won their way through to their first reserves grand final since 2006, courtesy of defeating reigning premier Two Wells by 19 points at Virginia on Saturday.

The Magpies, who only confirmed a finals berth in the last minor round match – thanks to an upset win over minor premiers Virginia – have come from fourth position to defeat Balaklava and the Roosters, to now earn a re-match with the top side in this year’s reserves grand final.

The grand final will be a re-match of the 2006 premiership decider.

At the start of Saturday’s match, Two Wells looked to have started the match with more energy than the Magpies. Owen Allmond, who was missing from last week’s second semi final match kicked the first major of the game for Two Wells, although their next few entries inside 50 were halted by a strong defensive unit led by Mallala stalwarts Daniel Jennings and Brian Tiller.

As both sides moved the ball, the standard of this contest was excellent – above what we have come to expect from reserves football.

At quarter time, just two points separated the sides, although after the break it was the Magpies who responded to coach Richard Crewdson’s quarter time speech and started to back themselves. Mallala added five goals for the term and Two Wells

RIGHT: Rooster Anthony Cavallaro looks on as Mallala’s Brett Tucker takes a mark BELOW: Jason Becker, Two Wells hangs onto Magpie Daniel Jennings.

By Kym Jarman added three. The standard remained high and players on both sides did good things. Magpie centre half forward Aaron Lawrie became prominent, as did team mates James Barr, Kirk Kirvan and Kale Jamieson.

Hayden Riley was becoming ever important with his quality touches, setting up a lot of play. Ruckman Sam Irish had a five minute purple patch, and certainly Daniel Jennings and Brian Tiller continued to lead the way from defence.

For Two Wells, Jason Becker provided plenty of spark and Chris Christofis was starting to get right into the game up forward. Both players added important goals, while Bradley Struck seemed busy also.

Defender Sam Barker had some telling possessions and MichaelAbdilla was serviceable in the midfield.

At half time, it was Mallala by 10 points. After half time, Mallala’s clean ball use came to the fore as they began to break the shackles and look the better side around the ground.

Two Wells were winning the ball in the centre and getting first hands at many stoppages, although once the ball had cleared the congested areas, it was the Magpies who won the arial contests and seemed to set up structured play from defence.

At three quarter time Mallala had built a nice three goal lead.Although the lead was not unassailable for the Roosters, Mallala’s last quarter and a half was excellent and they were riding high on confidence knowing they had all the momentum.

In the last term, Two Wells were sparked by Terry Russell and Nathan Applebee. Showing after a couple of seasons as a regular A grader prior to this season, Applebee was a cut above others on the park even in a preliminary final scenario. His final term was sublime as he gathered more than 10 possessions over the quarter, to help the Roosters add three last term goals. Unfortunately for the Roosters, Mallala failed to lie down as they made the most of their forward entries in the final stanza – this was despite Two Wells lifting a gear and looking dangerous. Mallala’s two pronged attack of Chris Bilney and Aaron Lawrie added a goal each, as did Scott Gardner.

Mallala eventually ran out 19 point winners. With this week’s grand final opponent Virginia losing just two games for the season, Mallala will have their work cut out this week. Although, one of those losses was to the Magpies in the final round. Will the Rams rue letting Mallala in for a finals berth by dropping that last game after having top spot sewn up?

Rams looking good

young that can affect the outcome of this year’s grand final. At one end of the scale, defenders and veterans Brian Tiller, Darren Carpenter and Daniel Jennings lead a staunch back six. In the midfield, Kirk Kirvan and Kale Jamieson lead the younger brigade with mid-twenties cogs Hayden Riley, Ben Edwards and Reece Kerr forming a capable midfield collective unit. These players have had a great finish to the season. Up forward, the centre half and full forward duo of Aaron Lawrie and Chris Bilney will have a large say on proceedings, alongside captain and veteran forward Derek Tiller.

If everything goes well for Mallala, they are not without a chance as their team work and skills have been the cornerstone of their late season form.

Looking at Virginia, they have some class all over the field with plenty of goal scoring power amongst the likes of APFL veteran Alex Leo, Terry Lioulios and Troy Crampton. The Rams midfield also contributes plenty of goals and players like captain Chris Campbell, Trent Karutz, Jacob Simmonds and Robbie Desmond all love to run forward and make the most of their opportunites.

Defenders Paul Russo and Rocky Catanzariti will provide some drive from the back half and possibly if on song, Virginia’s ruckmen may play a big part as Buddy Holland and Karl Zilm go head to head with Magpies Peter Hanton and Sam Irish.

Virginia would have to have an unlucky day to not take home this year’s reserves flag.

This week’s APFL reserves grand final will be a re-match of the 2006 premiership decider. It also will be a precursor to the afternoon’s A grade match with the same two clubs facing off – each club has a rare chance of doing a “2010 double” in the senior grades.

Back in 2006 Mallala, as they have done this year came from the minor final and with stellar late-season form, stormed into the grand final with some huge momentum. On that occasion many (including the Magpies) thought their form was so hot that going all the way was an almost formality.

On the day though the Rams were too strong – showing why, finishing in the competition’s top two and winning straight through is nothing to be sneezed at. I remember vividly Virginian Darryl Alderson’s best on ground speech, “Well Mallala thought they were going to win today but I guess they were wrong”.

It is this sort of emotion that we love about grand final day.

This year is much different. Virginia are such an un-backable favourite this time that no-one from Mallala (who have again come from fourth place) will be brimming with any haughty confidence this week. Virginia have, to this point in the season, taken all before them and should have no reason to hold back from whatever approach they have taken all season.

Mallala’s form has been good and certainly they can’t be faulted on form in their two finals matches so far. Mallala has some important players, both old and

JUNIOR COLTS PRELIMINARY FINAL, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 11

By Bronte Hewett Two Wells came together as a team to beat Mallala by 63 at Virginia on Saturday.

Following a close start, the Magpies had the lead by one goal at the first break.

For Mallala, a lapse in the second and third quarters proved to be detrimental, as the Roosters capitalised on each opportunity.

The Roosters kicked seven goals in each of these quarters with contributions from many players.

Josh Paterson and Hayden Ramsay kicked four goals each, while Luke Godfrey and Ben Schutz got two each.

Jordan Shephard, Dylan Wise and Luke Tassel also performed well.

But the Magpies lifted the pressure defensively in the final term and held the Roosters to just one goal.

Goal kickers for the Magpies included Jonathon Hallion with three, Zach Hallion, Jake Drew and Jake Birchmore with one each.

Jake Drew worked hard all game and was well supported by Chase Bethune and Ben Goudie.

GRAND FINAL PREVIEW

Two Wells v Balaklava

It will be a rematch of last year’s grand final in the senior colts, with Balaklava looking to defend their premiership against Two Wells.

After playing well on the weekend, the Roosters will be looking to maintain this form into the big game.

But glory won’t come easily, with the defending champions still a dominant force during the season and finishing top of the ladder.

Some of the Roosters have gained important A grade experience towards the end of the season,

including Dylan Wise, Luke Godfrey, Tim Hines, Jordan Shephard and Matt Sincock.

They will bring this experience to the final in a bid to overcome the Pecker force.

The Peckers have a solid line up of promising juniors, including Luke Guy, Lachlan Michael and Ryan McPharlin.

In their last meet in the second semi final, Balaklava easily accounted for Two Wells, after the Roosters got off to a slow start.

A slow start will not go down well in the grand final, and the Roosters will need to work hard early to have a chance in this game.

Young Eagles take on Roosters after comfy win H W Eagles 9-8 (62) d Mallala 4-2 (26) Hummocks Watchman Eagles will face Two Wells in the grand final, having defeated Mallala quite comfortably in the preliminary final.

HWE had a lot of the football from the start of the game, but it took them a while to control the forward lines.

By the third term, the Eagles were confident and doubled their score on the board.

Josh Appleby and Dylan Ashby were stand out perform-

ers for the Eagles, working hard all game and creating plenty of opportunity.

Adam Coe and Jarrad Dunstan were influential for the Magpies, with good skills on the ball and team work across the ground.

HWE kicked six goals in the third term to seal the win, with Brandon Taylor kicking three goals for the game and Dylan Ashby also active in up forward with two.

Two Wells are looking to defend their premiership this Saturday against a fit-looking Hummocks Watchman Eagles outfit.

Both teams have had good seasons and will be keen to show off their team work gained during the year.

The Roosters boast some height and experience in William Hart and Lachlan Goss plus the silky skills of Nik Seccafien and Association best

and fairest Jack Henneker. Jordan Alsop will be damaging for the Eagles, while Brandon Taylor is another to watch out for.

Dylan Williams and Bradey Kreig have had good seasons for the Eagles, with the team keen to upset the Rooster apple cart.

The Roosters are again a strong outfit and the Eagles will need to dig deep.

But finals are a different ball game, so this one could go either way.

PRELIMINARY FINAL, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 11

Cats take honours from BBH One of the most unique finals series in North Eastern history had yet another amazing twist last Saturday.

The Blyth-Snowtown side has returned to the season decider for 2010, after beating last year’s grand final foe BBH in the penultimate game of the winter.

But the game finished in bizarre circumstances, when Cats trainer John Keech suffered a heart attack 30 seconds before full time.

At this stage, with the medical people producing their life saving skills, in a strong show of sportsmanship BBH coach Peter Whittlesea agreed to end the game.

The Cats were victorious by 17 points.

“There were chaotic scenes and the umpires needed to stop the game so the ambulance could cross the oval,” Blyth-Snowtown coach Brett Ireland said.

“Pleasingly John was stabilised in the Burra Hospital and taken to Adelaide for further observation.

“It was a bit challenging in the change rooms after the game, but things have become more positive since we heard John had spoken to his family and was on his way to town. “ The Cats were out of the blocks quickly and kicked five unanswered goals in the opening term, before BBH started to mount a challenge.

Blyth-Snowtown had solid advantages at the half time and three quarter time breaks, then endured a charge from the Rams.

Skilful and hard running in the middle, Ryan Darling was the winners’ best, followed by Nick Humphrys and Simon McCormack.

The defensive trio of Robert Wandel, Tyron Clark and Adam Conradi all were strong contributors as well.

“We were lucky we had the start we did, as BBH didn’t go away after that,” Ireland continued.

“They got back into the game in the last 12-15 minutes of the first half.

“We still kept attacking

By Peter Argent and had our chances early in the last quarter to seal the game, but were inaccurate.

“Ryan (Darling) played a tremendous captains game, while Nick (Humphrys) did an important job on a wing, closing down their goal kicker David Read.

“Jarrod Gilling kicked five goals and his work rate, along with a number of excellent strong grabs is a positive going into this week.

“Shay Clifford was good across half forward and kicked a couple of goals.”

It could be argued either way for Tommy Riggs and Nick Jackman as the Rams’ best.

Aaron Spicer was the best big man on the ground, while Steve Mann continued his good form for the first semi final across half back.

Skilful Rams senior player Boh Wall and key forward Jason Schuppan also stamped an influence on the contest.

Hawks earn rematch with Eagles After enduring a frustrating defeat in oppressive conditions at Eudunda last Saturday, the RSMU Hawks earned a rematch with the Mintaro-Manoora Eagles in the B grade grand final.

The Hawks kept BSR goal less to half time and went on to win by a comfortable 29 point margin.

Young defender with A grade experience Christopher Aitchison was the Hawks’ best, followed by Tom Vater and the skilful Pat Clark.

Matthew Norman was an important contributor, as was Timothy Hart with a match high four goal haul.

TYRON Clark takes a mark for Blyth-Snowtown.

Plains Producer, Wednesday September 15, 2010

Dale Schulz was a solid contributor, while Norman and state country cricketer Tarqui Williamson kicked two goals each.

Wade Lawry was the BSR Tigers’ best, followed by evergreen veteran Nick Burford.

Clint Jones, Nick Martin, Matthew Tilbrook and David Hentschke were also serviceable in a forlorn cause, while Darren Jones kicked two of the team’s four goals.

Cats bow down to Hawks in senior colts Three goals each to A grade experienced Ben Plueckhahn and Nick Jordan was a catalyst to the Hawks senior colts’handsome 55-point victory over the Blyth-Snowtown side.

Although inaccurate, RSMU side had 19 scoring shots to five at half time and the game petered out from there.

Plueckhahn was superb, while both Tom Smith and Nick Jordan both controlled the game as well.

Tom Connell, along with the skilful pair of Ben Moreton and Aden Rowett were among the other influential players for the navy and white.

Hamish Behn helped out with a couple of majors.

Cats on-baller Caleb Lloyd worked hard all contest, as did Drew Salter and Cameron Giles.

Captain Reuben Ottens, Dylan Underdown and Cameron Andriske were solid performers for the BlythSnowtown side that bowed out in the second last weekend of the season.

Ben Pratt kicked two of the five goals for the vanquished.

Saints through by a single kick Eudunda-Robertstown held off a fast finishing Hawks side to win the under 14 preliminary final by a single straight kick.

At half time, after the Saints started well and kept RSMU scoreless in the opening term, only seven points separated the combatants.

After only one goal was scored in the third term (to the Saints), the Hawks kicked

four goals to three in the last term, but just fell one kick short.

Isaiah Blumson, Angus Wiech and Jake Bugeja with three goals were the winners’ best.

Edward Dunstan, Blake Coe and Rocky Lagyop all had an influence at various times.

Xavier Redden was the Hawks’ leading performer, followed by Josh Michalak and Dale Pike-Talbot.

Along with Redden, Jack Connell also kicked two goals for RSMU, while Luke Michalanney and Brett Heffernan were solid.

Battle for middle ground in grand final clash This week’s NEFL grand final is fittingly a clash between the best two teams in the competition – MintaroManoora and Blyth-Snowtown.

There is little doubt it will come down to who can control the middle of the ground and which of the potent midfields can take control.

The salivating contest between Mintaro-Manoora on-ball contingent of Brad Taylor, Ryan McDermid, Brad Currie, Steve Baraglia

and Bill Sandow, being up against former Sturt league footballer Ryan Darling, Brad Bell, James Taylor and the McCormack brothers, Simon and Nick of the Cats.

Interestingly, considering the conditions on the previous Saturday, all sides that lost the second semi final earned a rematch in the season decider.

At B grade level, RSMU take on Min-Man, while in the senior colts, Eudunda-Robertstown will go in heavy favourites against the Hawks.

The Southern Saints will also take on the BSR Tigers in the junior colts.

Darling finishes second in NEFL Medal Count

By Peter Argent With a vote tally that would have won in most competitions around the state, Blyth-Snowtown star Ryan Darling was runner up to South Clare’s athletic utility Brodie Murphy in the 2010 NEFL Mail medal count.

Held at the Riverton town Hall on Monday night, Murphy collected 29 votes; with Darling just two behind on 27.

Darling, last year’s winner of the competition top individual award, received the Landmark Cup trophy for second place in the count.

In the Cats breakthrough premiership year of 2006, Darling was also runner up in the Mail Medal count to Mintaro-Manoora Sam Schmidt.

“Ryan has again produced another tremendous year of football,” his coach Brett Ireland said.

PRELIMINARY FINAL, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 11

Balaklava girls win by one goal A1: Balaklava 37 defeated Hummocks 36.

Performing well at the right end of the season, Balaklava have advanced to the grand final following a spirited one goal win over Hummocks on Saturday.

A tight game put pressure on both teams, especially in the goal circles with every shot potentially match winning.

Hummocks played a fast-paced game, with Sarah Young’s speed and dynamics in the midcourt effective in getting the ball into attack.

But Balak’s goal keeper, Sophie van Kleef applied constant one-on-one defensive pressure allowing GD Michelle Williams to pick off some vital intercepts.

Chelsea Koch’s movement and speed in GA led Hummocks GD Lisa Britza to double team Cassie Powell in GS and evidently Britza was unable to achieve her usual high number of intercepts.

The Balak girls settled their play and moved well at their own pace.

Britza lifted her already tireless work rate in the third term, providing drive through the mid court and also achieving some valuable intercepts.

The last one and a half minutes of the third term were about desperation netball which had both mistakes and brilliance in equal measure.

After scores being 27 each at three quarter time, the stage was set for a cliff hanger.

In Hummocks’ centre court, Young’s pace and skills were incontestable, but in Balak’s defence, Williams’ vigilance and leadership was match winning for the Peckerettes.

Balak’s young guns, including centre Lauren Michael held their own.

Hummocks made less mistakes and GS Kirsty Williams lifted her own game and gave the side a slight edge in attack.

But in return, Powell shot brilliantly, incredibly missing just one shot for match.

Using her body and versatility, she positioned herself close to the ring nearly every time.

A2: Both Two Wells and Balaklava worked hard and it was a great finals game with

Two Wells winning by just three goals, 57-54.

Two Wells started with the first centre pass and converted. Both teams took a while to settle with several bad passes and errors. Two Wells steadied earlier than Balaklava to lead at quarter time by two goals.

Balaklava made a few changes bringing on Alexandra Wilson into GD. Both teams increased their intensity, but again passing errors created turnovers and prevented scoring opportunities. Court play remained even with Two Wells still two goals in front.

Position changes at both ends were made by Balaklava and they came out firing to take the lead early into the quarter. Two Wells lifted to reclaim their lead and the crowd became vocal. Consistent play ensured they were in front at the end of the quarter.

Two Wells came on in the final quarter and continued their consistent game. Balaklava were unable to convert on some centre passes and turnovers, which proved to be costly. Two Wells were leading by five goals and determination and want was evident on all players faces.

Balaklava dug deep to level the scores again and forced overtime.

Both teams worked hard in overtime, but Two Wells composed themselves to take the win.

A3: Two Wells had some good passages of play, but it wasn’t enough to peg back the lead Hummocks got in the second quarter for them to win 47-41.

Hummocks started well with scoring two goals. Then Two Wells got a run on and with great defensive pressure saw them get a few turnovers.

Both teams shot well when the ball got in the ring. Hummocks finished the quarter to bring the scores even.

Hummocks started the second quarter well with some great attacking play.

Hummocks shot accurately and the goalies passed the ball well to each other. Two Wells GA Cassie Kent tried hard to keep her team in the game. Hummocks defensive pressure saw them get intercepts to take the lead by seven goals.

Hummocks defensive pressure saw them get intercepts, but Two Wells tried

hard and their pressure in the centre court saw them get back in the game. Hummocks attacking play was strong and their shooters were accurate and rebounded well.

Hummocks GK Nikki Beall played well to get a couple of intercepts and rebounds.

Hummocks played well to hold their lead by eight.

Two Wells tried hard in the final quarter, but Hummocks defence from GK Nikki Beal and Kelly Bickle proved too strong. Hummocks scored when they got it down their end to win the game.

A4: Two Wells had a better set up than Balaklava into the goal circle, converted well and had good defence all game to win 54-42.

The game started with excellent intensity and for the first half of the quarter it was goal for goal. Two Wells GA Christie Castle was shooting well and Two Wells second efforts for the loose ball were better than Balaklava’s.

In a quarter that had a few rough landings, Two Wells continued to penetrate the goal circle and convert better

than Balaklava. Once again Two Wells capitalised on the loose balls more often and finished the quarter further in front.

The third quarter was played in two halves, Two Wells carrying on where they left off at half time, but then Balaklava playing with some changes made at half time started to take effect. In the end though, Balaklava were still beaten for the quarter.

In the last quarter Balaklava came out with some strong intensity, but Two Wells settled half way through the quarter. It ended up as an even quarter and goal for goal. But Two Wells played well to advance into the grand final.

A5: It was a great game to watch played in good spirit, but Mallala were just outclassed by a stronger Two wells on the day who out scored Mallala every quarter to win 51-32.

The first quarter started tight, but with a few nerves affecting passing all defenders took some great intercepts.

Jess Iacopetta controlled the centre court for Mallala while Juanita Hamilton took some great intercepts for Two Wells in the circle.

Two Wells came into the second quarter firing, scoring six goals before Mallala

scored. But Mallala fought back scoring the next four.

This quarter was the goalies quarter with Mallala’s Greata Warrior and Two Wells’ Sarah Dinham rarely missing a shot.

Both GA’s Robyn Cocks, Mallala, and Pauline Hatch, Two Wells worked hard at the centre passes to create drive for their teams. Two Wells C Madison Sawyer and Mallala’s C Hannah Jordon were having a great tussle with both attacking and defending hard for their teams.

Two Wells consolidated their lead in the final quarter with a strong start to the quarter. Fantastic shooting from Two Wells GA Rhianna Morrison. Fresh legs for Two Wells with Jess Walker in C proved a bonus. Amy Agnew in GD provided some much needed height in defence for Mallala, but it wasn’t enough to take the win.

B grade: It was a close game between Mallala and Two Wells. Great pressure was applied around the court, but Two Wells were able to hold off Mallala to win by two goals, 27-25.

Mallala won the toss and Laura Jarman converted the first goal. Two Wells started a little shaky, but Sharnie Kent settled with their first goal.

Two Wells defence made great intercepts. The attack

line worked well and finished with a lovely long shot from Sharnie. Making a few errors, both teams settled and worked hard, but Two Wells finished the first quarter just ahead.

Mallala GA Laura started the second quarter off with a lovely goal, with both middle courts working well.

Two Wells shooters missed a few goals and Mallala’s defence and attack worked hard making the most of the opportunities started to bridge the quarter time gap.

With both teams making a few mistakes they settled with Two Wells still holding a small lead going into the half time break.

Two Wells started the second half of the game with the centre pass. With a missed goal by Two Wells, Mallala scored and scored again off their centre pass to even the scores. Mallala’s GA and Two Wells GD had a great tussle, but Mallala made the most of their goal opportunities. Mallala’s C Hanaha and WA Amanda worked the ball extremely well around the ring and feeding the goalies. Two Wells defence GK Taylah, GD Jessica and WD Zoe tried hard to stop the Mallala run. This quarter was a little scrappy for Two Wells attack and Mallala took the most of their opportunities to take the lead by one goal at three quarter time.

Mallala started the final quarter with the centre pass, but with an error Two Wells turned it over and Melissa scored the first goal. Two Wells WD Zoe had a great intercept and chase for the ball to move onto WA Brooke, C Maddison and fed well into the ring to score another goal.

Mallala started the quarter off a little rattled but settled with a goal by GA Laura. Both teams had great intercepts and the game was a very tight contest. With just three minutes to go the scores were level. Both teams worked extremely hard. Mallala’s defence turned the ball over and worked the ball hard down the court, only to have Two Wells defence get a turnover and score. With another Two Wells turnover and score, they took the game.

C1: This game was very high standard for under 13’s netball from Hamley Bridge and Hummocks. It was a very tight contested game, but Hamley took the win 35-32.

Hummocks scored the first goal from direct passing into the goal circle. Goalies from both teams settled early

and were shooting accurately.

Defensive pressure throughout the whole court by both sides made passing difficult.

A nine all score indicated the evenness of both teams in a high standard C1 game.

Both teams made changes at the first interval, with Tayla Williams replacing Sarah Rapko as GS due to illness and Amy McCabe from Hamley Bridge was replaced

by Olivia Izzo. Hamley’s height in the goal circle proved to be an advantage while the Williams sisters, Tayla and Ashleigh combined well in the Humocks circle. Both centres were providing great drive through the mid court. The half time break saw Hummocks up by one.

Sarah Rapko returned to the court for Hummocks and Tayla Williams moved to WD. Hamley’s GK Rebecca Fritz took a great intercept which resulted in a goal. Anna Nipperess at GK for Hummocks worked tirelessly against a taller shooter. Hamley came out strong after the long break and scored early valuable goals. GD Steph Adey left the court due to injury and Kimberly Pycroft resulted. A strong quarter from Hamley resulted in a two goal lead.

In the final quarter Hummocks WA Adreanna Deer led well at the centre passes throughout the game, as did Sophie Martin for Hamley.

Intensity increased in the final quarter as each team fought for a final play off. Great defence by Hamley made passing into Hummocks circle difficult, and this resulted in a few turnovers.

C2: It was a tightly contested game from both Hamley Bridge and Balaklava all match. Balaklava took the game 19-16.

In the first quarter it took both teams a few minutes to settle. Defences for both teams turned the ball over plenty of times resulting in a nail bighting start.

There were a lot of turnovers in the mid court for the second quarter. Defences for both teams dominated the play.

Both teams became desperate for the ball in the third quarter. Hamley dominated the first half of the quarter with Balaklava finally settling.

Great watching and play by Blessing Nyoni.

Balaklava dominated in the final quarter. The centre players powered through the quarter to help their respective teams. Balaklava were just too strong to take the ticket to the grand final.

GRAND FINAL PREVIEW

n By Bronte Hewett

Can Hamley Bridge maintain winning form?

Hamely Bridge V Balaklava

Lauren Michael celebrates with A1 coach Marie Heaslip after their team’s win over Hummocks on Saturday.

The young Peckerettes have shown determination in both their preliminary and semi finals, defeating favoured teams Two Wells and Hummocks in close, high intensity matches.

Moving Jane Harding from GA to WD and Chelsea Koch from defence into GA has proved pivotal in the side’s finals campaign.

And while Koch builds confidence in the goal circle, she is well supported by promising goal shooter Cassie Powell, who is standing her ground well against more experienced opponents.

THE Hamley Bridge C1 girls celebrate after their win over Hummocks.

ABOVE: Kate Taylor, Balaklava in action during the A4 match.

LEFT: Two Wells A5 player Jess Walker intercepts a pass meant for Mallala’s Jess Iacapetta.

But it is the Peckers’ defenders who will need to perform well to overcome a confident Hamley Bridge outfit.

Hamley Bridge’s GS Amber Rogers has been the most influential component of the side’s nearperfect season.

With only a couple of losses on the board, the Bomberette girls have been coached well to play a more consistent game of netball.

It has been rare this season to see Rogers beaten under the ring, managing to pluck the ball over, under, in front of or behind her opponent.

While she rarely misses, if defenders choose to double team Rogers, GA Sarah Koch could be damaging if she is having a good day. However, quality defence usually prevents this.

Two Wells and Hummocks were successful in beating Hamley Bridge during the season through unsettling their attacking end, which Michelle Williams and Sophie van Kleef are capable of.

Balaklava’s less experienced midcourt may be a disadvantage, although young centre Lauren Michael has showed she is A1 worthy, performing well against the likes of Sarah Young (Hummocks) and Nicole Hardy (Two Wells) in the last two weeks.

Michael will now need to continue this form against APNA best and fairest Ashleigh Koch, who will be looking for a fairytale ending to her season.

Carly Gregor could also be handed the centre bib, and will need to use her speed and drive to back up teammates against Hamley’s tight full court defence.

With both teams relatively young, many players have likely never played in the pressure of an A1 grand final.

In terms of finals experience, both teams are on par, but Hamley Bridge do have the advantage of familiarity, having played a few seasons together.

Hamley Bridge’s ever reliable WA Pam Mattchoss will be influential in feeding to Rogers, while defender and dual team of the year recipient Emma Riley is likely to put plenty of pressure on Balaklava attackers.

Balak’s shooters will need to be confident in the goal circle and provide assistance in the drive out of defence.

The game can be won through defensive pressure across the whole court, plus a combined team effort.

Whichever team can unsettle or disconcert some of the pivotal players in this all-important game should get the upper hand.

After such a dominant season, the Hamley Bridge girls have every reason to think they have this one stitched up, having beaten Balaklava at all meetings this year.

Men

This match proved to be a great showcase, with the minor premiers Donnybrook taking on the second placed Balaklava.

The first goal was scored after the

initial settling in and nervous play by both sides, with Balaklava attacking strongly even though they were a man short playing with 10.

Lee Cunningham produced a backstick shot that looked to be going wide when Tristan Felby pulled a backstick shot out of the back of his shorts to score the goal.

Felbs has had trouble with the elastic of these shorts in the last few weeks, but not Saturday – a great goal.

Play travelled between backlines with both teams missing shots on goal.

Just before half time Raf Battistessa scored Balaklava’s second goal to lead at the break 2-0.

The second half saw continual attacks by both teams into the circle, with Donnybrook slowly gaining more play into their forward line, with one of these runs being rewarded with a goal to Rob Dall who didn’t rush the shot to find the back of the net. This livened the game up, with a sense that Donnybrook were starting to mount a challenge for the title with several attacks resulting in shots at goal, but all going wide.

With about 10 minutes to go, Balaklava worked the ball forward to gain a penalty corner and this resulted in their third goal for the day – and a second for Raf, who celebrated the goal knowing that it made Donnybrook’s job that bit harder.

Donnybrook continued to attack in the final minutes, but to no avail with Balaklava holding on for their fourth premiership in a row.

A great game played by both teams.

Balaklava 3 defeated Donnybrook 1 Goals: Bal – Raf Battistessa 2, Tristan Felby; Don – Rob Dall. Best: Bal – Lee Cunningham, Raf Battistessa, Josh March; Don – Laurence Ryan, Mark Telfer, Josef Roberts.

Virginia can upset the Magpies • From back page Virginia has some game-breakers set to give Mallala a headache. In last weekend’s preliminary final against the Eagles, Ram Graham Rigney did some clever things. His decision making was “on” last weekend –it’s this sort of stuff that you can’t teach but is the fabric that can win you finals matches.

Rigney, along with on-ballers such as Anthony Johnston, Troy Wilkey, Caleb Howell, Ben Galic, and panache defendersAdrian Mark and Christian Dorward all have an x-factor capable of getting the job done on the big stage.

Local players, wingman Steven Papanotis and half forward Emmanuel Tsmiklis have been around for a while and should, under the circumstances, lift to give the Rams an edge. If each of these players

can get up to 90 per cent of their capabilities, Mallala may struggle to go pound for pound with the Rams on a talent basis.

Sure Mallala have their stars in Jason Earl, Joel Montgomerie, Christian Rimmer, Liam Whitwell and Joel Montgomerie. However, Keith Earl’s side this week will be looking to the old saying, “A champion team will be a team of champions any day”, as they approach this week’s grand final.

Mallala have shown over the last few seasons they are the best four quarter team in the APFL. The Magpies have also been crowned the best team in the Adelaide Plains over the course od 21 weeks as it is their consistency that has netted them three consecutive minor premierships 2008-10 and with a season ratio of 14-3 so far this season.

Mallala’s stars must fire on Saturday, but you can’t underestimate their ability to work for one another as a collective. The Magpies’ set-ups, skills and ball movement is often underrated. When on song, there is no more clinical team skill wise than the Magpies.

Veteran half back Paul Blacket knows what it’s all about at this level. On-baller Mark McEvoy is also an important player in their ever rotating midfield mix.

APFL representative James Wildbore continues to be an unsung hero of the Mallala side, while defenders the Cawrse brothers and Robert Montgomery don’t do anything fancy but everything they do helps their side stop the opposition and also rebound.

Brad Hardie on the wing is perhaps the Magpies’ flashiest player – if he has a day out on the wide Balaklava flanks this Saturday, the Magpies are sud-

denly looking good in regard to achieving a third flag in four seasons.

If Mallala full forward Brian Montgomery doesn’t return from a leg injury, it’s crucial that Matt Saunders and Brad Griffiths stand up as big forward targets alongside goal sneak Daniel Feeley.

Magpie ruckman Jacob Walsh could have his hands full, as his opposite number Ben Galic is in good form and showing his mobility around the ground – this may trouble the Mallala big man.

Whatever the result, this match will be a corker.

We have the best side over the course of the last four seasons versus a side in red-hot late season form.

There can only be one 2010 premier, and we will know which team will be written into APFL history come 5pm this Saturday afternoon.

n Kym Jarman looks at Mallala and Virginia as we head into this weekend’s APFL grand final

Mallala capable of achieving something special Saturday’s grand final will present an enormous opportunity for Mallala, as it’s their fourth grand final in a row.

Coach Keith Earl knows what it means to win premierships. Of course this time last year he was in hospital after suffer-

ing severe burns to his face and hands.

Checking himself out of the Royal Adelaide Hospital grand final morning, Earl received state-wide praise for inspirationally turning up un-announced at Long Plains to coach his side to the 2009 flag.

If any Mallala players who already have two premiership medallions at home need a reminder of how important these games are to the local community, they only need to be reminded of their coach’s efforts this weekend last year.

Mallala’s opponent Virginia will have no current APFL premiership players, but the Magpies too will likely be taking five or six players into the match who have not yet tasted the ultimate glory. This will drive those players on and maybe just

Virginia remains confident, but keeping the ‘lid on’

The Rams are looking confident heading into this week’s 2010 APFL A grade grand final.

Greg Phillips’ side is two wins from two finals matches in 2010, and after accounting for Balaklava in this year’s first semi final and then perennial finalists Hummocks-Watchman Eagles last weekend, they head into this week’s grand final against reigning (and minor) premier Mallala with winning form.

The Rams have won eight of their last nine games – and that includes defeating this week’s opponent Mallala twice since the half way mark of the season.

Heading into this week’s match, coach Greg Phillips is confident his players will be

fresh despite playing two finals matches on heavy tracks.

“I am confident the boys will be fresh enough because we have been doing a bit of indoor work in our gymnasium over the last couple of weeks. Because it’s been so wet and our two finals games were always going to take a bit out of us we have been using the indoor facilities and have also been doing some swimming to get the boys freshened up” Phillips said.

Watching Virginia’s intensity, energy and attack on the ball last Saturday, I must say the above approach has worked a treat.

Despite having a six day break compared with the Eagles last weekend, the Rams seemed fresh from the get-go, setting

26 www.plainsproducer.com.au

up the win in the first half of the match.

Phillips holds no fears about “playing through” compared to their opponent Mallala – “It certainly hasn’t been a bad thing for us to play the last three weeks in a row.

“We had our bye in the second to last round so certainly I would prefer to play straight through as sometimes playing three games in five weeks or two games in four weeks can have a negative effect on a finals team.”

Phillips knows a thing or two, having played in nine grand finals and winning eight premierships with Port Adelaide in the SANFL. Phillips has also coached Port Magpies reserves

to a flag. Phillips is excited about the prospect of achieving something great.

“Plenty will be spoken about a lot of our players having a chance to win a grand final, but with our reserves and A grade in on Saturday, if we are able to achieve something great we can’t underwrite what it will mean to the people that put in time and effort around the club and our supporters who so far have been great for us.”

Phillips is also excited about the opportunity awaiting his local players, “With our club captain Matty Young leading the way, all our local players are ready to have a crack at it after many have been around the club for a long time but haven’t

tasted that success.”

“In the last month Matty as captain has been terrific with his words and leadership – he wants this a lot and he is hungry so hopefully everyone can follow their skipper and achieve something great this week.”

In what promises to be a great spectacle at Balaklava this week, Phillips says his side is confident but certainly not getting ahead of themselves.

“At the end of the day Mallala have been there and done it before. They know what it takes to win a big one so they will have an advantage over us in that area.

We are going pretty well so we’ll certainly be hitting the game with every confidence – but we are keeping the lid on.”

give the remainder of their playing group the lift they need.

Mallala coach Keith Earl says he is looking forward to building his side up towards the big one this weekend.

“After winning the second semi we’ve been pretty low key. Most of the boys have been pretty quiet but that’s not a bad thing as a lot of the lads are just that way by nature” “We trained hard last week as we needed to maintain our fitness given the week off so really were just looking forward to Saturday and seeing how things unfold.”

When asked whether the late-season inclusion of 2009 Plains Producer Medallist Liam Whitwell had strengthened the Magpies, Earl replied “Certainly having Whitty around is a great thing for the playing group. He and Jason (Earl) are probably our main talkers so when Whitty is around the whole group benefits.”

The Magpies finished the minor round two games clear on top of the APFL ladder, while Virginia finished fourth. Although Earl is no doubt wary of the Rams’ form thus far, he would be looking forward to backing his boys and the Mallala game style.

“One thing I think we have a lot of at Mallala is heart. I don’t think this is always credited to us as a club but certainly on Saturday we will see how much heart we have in both senior grades.”

Nineteen we were, stumbling bewildered and unsteadily from the car park, confused by the lack of howling winds and driving rain, before being grouped and dispatched in search of the Simon Exhaust & Auto Repairs Trophy, a blood ‘n guts Stroke event.

In the A grade Mark Loy had an absolute blinder, an electrifying, high voltage display of brute strength and ignorance that earned him an 88/76 result, effectively earthing the aspirations of Bill Parkin (75/71) and Scott Michael (91/75). Left to change their own fuses were D. Taylor (88/76), P. Lamont (87/80) and one M. (Mighty Muzz) Smith, who had “a bitta trouble” out there.

This highly intense situation could have led to what young Toby Michael was moved to describe as “a most egregious polemic”, however our collective, entrenched devil-may-care mind-set came to the fore and we simply recorded “disqu” alongside that most noble of names.

B grade victory was claimed by Callum Michael (87/69) ahead of Dave Rodgers (90/70) and Gerry Toms (99/76). Left to shuffle disconsolately in the background were D. Addison (98/76 on a count back), G. Sonntag (95/78), C. Temby (99/78), J. Michael (102/82), L. Masson (103/82), J. Curnow (101/83) and B. Thompson (109/86).

C grade acclaim was heaped on the wise old head of bighitting Barry Olsen (105/69), praise on the heads of Mike Smith (109/73) and Ben Michael (106/77) while cold Irish stew was poured over the massed pates of A. Henstridge (104/78), T. Matz (107/78), L. Michael (118/82), J. Wilson (119/87) and D. Michael (129/94). Managing do dodge this culinary catastrophe was young tyro Toby Michael, our sole Junior (194/154).

Again, no Birdies were recorded, but in terms of Nearest the Pin we saw Mark Loy nail it at the third, Scott Michael at both the eighth. and 15th. while Bill Parkin used one of his shiny new Titleist irons to claim the 10th. This weekend we will contest a Stableford round, controlled by the iron grip of no less than big fat Les Masson.

More than 40 trees were felled by Hughie’s big blast recently, right around the course. Despite the magnificent efforts of John, Scott & Ben Michael, Corey Temby, John Curnow, Dean Robinson and half of Thompson’s Tear-aways, who over 4 days last week cut, carted and stacked many tonnes of timber, more must be done ahead of our Open Day on Sunday, October 3.Therefore this Sunday, when the weather bodes fine, we need all of you with chain saws, utes and trailers to roll up at around 9am. for a stint of around 7 -8 hours. As well, a small army of picker-uppers, carters and stackers will be needed (we recommend wearing stout gloves for this) so even if you don’t have a ute or chain saw, please pack a lunch and come out to help.

TWO WELLS

Results from September 11. Competition: Par. Sponsor: Boral Old Solicitors. Players: 30.

The scores unfortunately did not reflect the beautiful conditions. It was the final round of the Captains Trophy and no-one could make up the leeway on Andrew Baker, who despite a round played under pressure had the score on the board in the first three rounds to win the Captains Trophy.

Play of the day was Russell Grigg on the 8th, after a poor shot his club somehow ended up stuck up a tree and many attempts later to retrieve this club he had to climb the tree to recover his four clubs stuck up there. I understand this may be a club (pardon the pun) record.

He recovered his cool to go on and win A grade two with a two up. Paul Shields had a fine five up to take B grade and climb back into A grade for next week. Steve Sando sizzled around the first nine in five up and won C Grade with 4 up. Leon Zbierski established an unbeatable lead in the Club Trophy award with still one week’s worth of points to be amassed.

Players today all want to pass on their regards and best wishes to Clive Weller and Shorty’s wife Marlena who both have not been too well lately.

PRELIMINARY FINAL: Virginia 8.11 (59) d Hummocks Watchman Eagles 2.10 (22)

THEY SHUT DOWN THE EAGLES IN ANOTHER IMPRESSIVE WIN, NOW IT’S ...

Virginia’s premiership My Call n Kym Jarman’s APFL preview

grand finaL KISS OF DEATH

Virginia by 17 points LET’s get down to the nitty gritty of Saturday’s A grade grand final at Balaklava.

Virginia can win the 2010 APFL premiership and end Mallala’s reign. I am tipping a Rams victory by 17 points.

Although the Magpies have been stellar all season and are playing in their fourth consecutive APFL grand final after collecting their third straight minor premiership, it is Virginia which has peaked at the right time of year.

The Rams certainly have been superimpressive in this finals series. With two finals wins under their belt and eight wins in nine weeks to finish the season (including two against the Magpies) it holds them in good stead. And winning form is good form. Confidence is worth plenty!

Virginia have been awesome all over the ground in this year’s finals – but full forward, Brendon Nicklaus, so far has been

Ashleigh is A1 netball best

HAMLEY BRIDGE netballer Ashleigh Koch has won the Adelaide Plains Netball Association’s A1 best and fairest award. Ashleigh (left) is pictured above with runnerup, Beth Germein, of Hummocks, who won the medal last year.

Ashleigh polled 17 votes to finish two ahead of Beth. Three players tied for equal third on 12 points – Lisa Britza (Hummocks), Diana Feeley (Mallala) and Bronte Hewett (Two Wells).

Bronte, who reports on news and

sport for the Plains Producer and Two Wells Echo, also polled six votes in A2 grade, where another Hummocks player, Lucy Forrest drew as best with Two Wells’ Steph Walker on 13 votes.

A3 winner was Amanada McHugh, of Two Wells, on 19.

Rebecca Dixon (Hummocks) won the A4 medal with 23 and in A5 it was Two Wells’ Jamie Dinham with 15. n All the APNA medal votes and pictures are on Page 23.

VIRGINIA’S Nathan Warren dashes clear of Eagle Lee Belperio.

virtually an untapped resource for his team and coach Greg Phillips.

After kicking 87 goals in this year’s minor round, Nicklaus has managed just one goal in each finals match.

Scuttlebutt suggests the league’s leading goal-kicker carried a torn pectoral muscle into the finals – but word is he will be close to 100 per cent this week.

With a possible dry day looming, Nicklaus could explode back into form to be the premiership winner for the Rams.
