SENSATIONAL SUMMER OF CRICKET AHEAD FOR THE MALENY REDBACKS From Maleny Redbacks Club President Catherine Millett

D

#littleclubbigheart espite the drizzle last Friday night, our rst home game for the season was super.

A big thank you to Life Member Greg Corkin who mowed-out the pitches for each game and organised all the setup of the eld. And a big thank you to all of the parents and family who helped throughout the night with setting up, canteen and of course the dreaded pack up.

Breaking Free:

Conquering Addic ons for Peak Performance Josie Coco is a Psychotherapy Counsellor and Energy Psychology Practitionerhas extensive experience with anxiety and depression, alcohol, drug and other addictions, PTSD, CPTSD. relationship trauma, the lasting impacts of childhood neglect and/or abuse, and more. Josie is available for private consultations.

In the world of sports, we celebrate discipline, dedication, and perseverance. Yet, athletes are not immune to the grip of addiction, whether it's to substances, behaviours, or habits that hinder their performance and well-being. Acknowledging and addressing addiction is a courageous step towards reclaiming your full potential.

Addiction can be all-consuming, but remember that recovery is possible. Here are some words to guide you on your journey to breaking free from addiction: 1. Recognize the Problem: The rst and most critical step is acknowledging that you have an addiction. Denial is a formidable adversary; facing the truth is your initial victory.

7. Never Give Up: In sports, we learn that setbacks are part of the game. The same principle applies to overcoming addiction.

Keep moving forward, no matter how many times you stumble.

Your sporting community is here to support you in your battle against addiction. Together, you can break free from the chains of dependency and rediscover the joy, strength, and resilience that de ne your athletic spirit. Your path to peak performance begins with the courage to seek help and the determination to conquer addiction Josie Coco MGestTherapy M 0498 065 306.

W:

2. Seek Professional Help: Just as you rely on coaches and trainers for physical improvement, seek the guidance of addiction specialists or therapists. They can provide tailored strategies to overcome addiction's grip.

3. Build a Support Network: Lean on your teammates, friends, and family. Share your struggles with those you trust. Their support can be a powerful motivator.

4. Set Goals for Recovery: Establish clear and achievable goals for your recovery journey. Each day free from addiction is a milestone worth celebrating.

5. Replace with Positive Habits: Fill the void left by addiction with healthy alternatives.

Engage in sports, hobbies, or activities that bring you joy and ful llment.

6. Patience and Perseverance: Recovery is not linear; it's a journey with its ups and downs. Be patient with yourself, and remember that relapses can be stepping stones toward lasting recovery.

The Range Croquet Club - Maleny Priscilla Vickers and Stuart Craig teamed up to play a game of doubles in a game of Ricochet Croquet on Tuesday against Sally Adams and Lynette Evans, winning a tight and enjoyable encounter 11 -10.

Donna Manning and Dianne Horsman were too good for Lynette on Thursday beating her in a two against one game 22 – 10. Sarah Widin and David Kerr went down to Helen Andrews and Wallace Roy to the tune of 5 – 12. David, a relative newcomer to the game, showed good form with some ne rolls, one from corner 1 to approach hoop 4.

Compared to previous weeks the lawns were almost deserted on Sunday. Everybody is saving themselves for the November tournament which runs from the 2nd to the 5th of November.

Ken Barker and Donna played a friendly in which no scores were recorded. The game only lasted an hour and a bit, about the same amount of time that the second division games will be played over – so it was good preparation for that. Sarah, Wallace, and Dianne played a pleasant threesome which Sarah and Wallace won 9 - 6. Vince Carbery visited to nalise the draw for the November tournament.

The attached photo below illustrates the level of intensity of play on the day of the Ulysses Club visit a little while ago. Note the mind games being played by the spoodle centre front.

Our web address is: https://rangecroquetatmaleny.org.au For details contact Sarah Widin 0417640704 (President ) or by email: therange@croquetqld.org

Court

Hire

Our courts are situated at; Maleny Showgrounds, MalenyStanley River Road, Maleny and may be available for community use or for special events, like workplace teambuilding or social gathering. There are two excellent full size grass courts in an attractive location.

Our croquet equipment may be available for your guests in some special occasion (e.g. wedding) if suitable grounds are available. If you are interested, please phone, email or use the contact page.

New members are always welcome.

Do you want to play croquet?

Croquet provides non-strenuous exercise and an effective low-intensity workout.

Croquet can be played at any age and is a great way to socialise while enjoying low impact outdoor exercise. It combines the intellectual challenge of a game like chess with physical activity requiring skills such as precision and a soft touch to be successful.
