Two wells
Results from Saturday October 2. Competition: Stableford. Sponsor: Wheatsheaf Hotel, Virginia. Déjà vu, 24 players again – the same as last week – on a course mowed to within an inch of its life but starting to harden up quickly, which the “old fellas” liked, as their scores showed. Simon Grigg, after taking home 13 balls last week, scored another 7 today, winning A Grade, long drive, pro’s approach and two birdies, obviously over his bad back and now down to his lowest handicap ever of 14. Ian Smith and Ian Clark scored heavily in B Grade with the conditions much more to their liking, and Jeff Spackman also with a 48 to win C Grade from Bingo Barns’ 43, scores these boys haven’t seen in some time. It was a big welcome back to Matt Prior, visiting from Queensland, but the work he did on the course on Friday didn’t help his golf, holding up the rear of the field with a 21 to take NAGA. In the big event of the day, Paul Shields won his ninth meat tray, ho ho hum! The season will continue next Saturday usual time because of the good condition of the course, with an ambrose/ BBQ/presentation on Sunday starting at 10am. Players are asked to bring a salad. Results A Grade: 40 Simon Grigg, 39 R Thompson, 38 Stuart Grigg, 33 M Davies, R Hogg, 32 G Giannikos, 21 M Prior.

Croquet singles a Williams affair A croquet singles competition was held between Clare Red and Balaklava Gold on Saturday. Winners were Nancy Williams and Dulcie Williams, both from Balaklava. Other teams in the competition were Snowtown White v Clare Black – played at Snowtown, Balaklava Green v Snowtown Blue – played at Balaklava, while Clare Orange had a bye. Dulcie Williams is pictured getting ready to make her hoop. Clare Croquet Club news Clare Croquet Club began a new season on Saturday, with a new approach to the game. Upper Wakefield Association is no longer active. The club has invited neighbouring clubs to join with Clare in playing a pennant season on Saturdays, instead of the tra-
ditional mid-week game. This will allow clubs in surrounding towns to join with Clare with the aim of setting up an association competition. The club hopes that by moving its Pennant season to the weekends, it will enable people in the workforce to experience the fun and challenge of this fascinating game, giving people a further choice of non-contact sport in the area. Clare Croquet Club will join the Expo Members of Clare Croquet Club will attend The Valleys Lifestyle Centre’s Expo on Sunday, October 10 between 10am and 12pm, to demonstrate croquet skills. They will also hand out pamphlets giving details about the club and the six-week Beginners’ Coaching Course, commencing Tuesday October 26 to November 30.
Plains Producer, Thursday October 7, 2010
Slam dunk! Another exciting season ahead Basketball season is set to bounce off on Friday, October 15. This year the Adelaide Plains Basketball Association has some changes in administration, with Wayne Hill stepping into the role of president. Wayne is no stranger to basketball as he continues to enjoy playing, coaching and umpiring. He has been the Association’s Senior Men’s team coach and is also involved in the DNSP squad. Some call him the ‘master’. Richard Gregory’s wealth of knowledge in basketball will continue as vice-president, and Annette Wilson will continue to be kept busy as secretary with the ever reliable Jenny McArdle as treasurer, and Leigh McArdle as records officer. In the coming year the Adelaide Plains Basketball Association will enter a new era, with clubs finding it difficult to find delegates to attend Association meetings and fill positions as required by the constitution. It has been decided to restructure the Association so a core of dedicated people will run the association as a board. Until such time however, the APBA executives will run the Association in consultations with club delegates. While clubs are still finalising teams, it is believed teams are down slightly compared to other years. This year the season will bounce off on Friday, October 15 and run through until December 17. It will recommence on Friday, January 28, with the grand final being held on March 23, 2011. The SA Country Hoops will commence at 5.30pm, with Kathryn Taylor taking over from Kirsty McPharlin as the SA Country Hoops coordinator, with help from Andrew “Moo” Smith. Michelle Tiller will continue her work as Association coordinator and her involvement with the DNSP Squad. Ray Bennett is looking forward to hearing from anyone wishing to give umpiring a go. At a recent level 0 umpiring course, 35 members completed their level 0 course, with many juniors from the DNSP stepping up as part of training. All clubs rely on volunteers to help with setting up and packing up, scoring and canteen duties. Once again, volunteers are urged to help because many hands make light work. Some people have already put their hands up and started volunteering to help their club make it a successful 2010/11 season, and those people are applauded on behalf of the club.
ETHAN Brownlie, who will play in Aussie Hoops this season, gets a boost from 196cm basketballer Jordan Wilson, who will play for Bulldogs in this season’s Men’s competition.
