Muddy marvellous Fiesta BY TONY SCOTT
• Former Master Chef contestant turned cook book author Amy Luttrell whips up a scallop sensation for 50 gastranomes.
MUD and sunshine were ingredients to a successful fourth edition of the Tassie Scallop Fiesta at Bridport on Sunday. About 1500 people crowded onto a useable section of the Bridport Village Green. Most had sensible footwear so were not too perturbed when parts of that section also turned to a quagmire. Part of the sealed car park in front of the hall was also pressed into use for Fiesta stalls providing patrons with some surer footing. A welcome free smoked scallop provided by the Allan Barnett fisheries’ team was a big hit as Fiesta goers entered. Many were happy to find a spot in the sun and take in the musical entertainment provided by a range of performers, local Aaron Worker and the Halfway to Forth brothers before the big sound of St Joe’s Big Band, which started life as Launceston’s St Joseph’s brass band in 1845. Fiesta co-ordinator Leonie Johnston said there were things that interested most people on the program with the chef demonstrations all booked out and those keen to improve their knowledge at the wine master classes. “I think people are just happy to be able to get out and support our local food and beverage producers and entertainers at this time of year, especially when you think of how some of friends and relatives in others states are some limited.” There was a sporting element with local government just pipped by State in a goal kicking challenge at the start of proceedings. The Premier, Peter Gutwein, had intended attending to open the Fiesta and accepted a challenge from Dorset Mayor Greg Howard. He was disappointed to be called away to Hobart, but was ably deputised by Deputy Premier Jeremy Rocklif, who kicked two goals from his three shots, while Mayor Howard

was adjudged to have one of his kicks graze the goalpost to finish 1:1. Both of their attempts from the boundary line, including an ambitious “banana” by the Mayor, were well off target. Mrs Johnston said the culmination of the day came with the scallop splitters’ challenge. “The crowd really got involved with barracking for the splitters in the individual and relay events. “There was also a lot of support for the suggestion from master of ceremonies Peter Gee for scallop splitting to be included in the Brisbane Olympic Games in 2032.” Mr Gee continued the Olympics theme comparing splitter Hanson Chen with swimmer Kyle Chalmers, for the withering anchor relay leg to get his team up to take the $500 winner take all prize. The crowd was also vocal with the announcement of the winners of the scallop pie competitions. After a couple of years missing out on the spoils Scottsdale’s Cottage Bakery was back with a vengeance, winning both the scallop mornay and curried sections. A challenge from Victorian bakers, who insist they should have the mantle of best scallop pies was thwarted when they took home just one second placing. That also earned a cheer. Nationally-acclaimed pie judge Murray Partridge, said standards were high and the entry pleasing. “I also had a look at some of the home-cooked pies, several I understand were cooked by High School students, and by the look of them some of the bakers could take a lesson from them.” Student Kaiden Nailer, from Ringarooma, was judged the best home cook piemaker after completing a mentoring session with Bridport chef Di Turner last week.

SERVE 30 YEARS AGO | August 1, 1991 Mt Stronach declared a protected area The Mt Stronach area has been declared a protected area and will be free of commercial forest operations. A management plan will be developed to provide public access and walking trails for tourists and recreational purposes. This advice has been given to the Scottsdale Council by the Forestry Commission and the Forest and Forest Industry Council. Warden P W Partridge said the Council was pleased that the area would receive this identification as it had long been held that it offered considerable development opportunities for the public. Council believed the area south of Mt Stronach and adjacent to the Forester River would also be included in the protected area at some later stage.
40 YEARS AGO | August 6, 1981 Good shooting at Gun Meet Considering poor weather conditions, the standard of shooting at the last meeting of the NorthEastern Gun Club was good. New shooters to do well were Martin Butler who was narrowly defeated in the front markers section. Keith Lethborg shot a creditable 20/25 to win the C Grade ISU event. Mrs Debbie Groves again shot extremely well to win C Grade in the single barrel championship. Mrs Groves and Herb Kerrison now lead with 18 points in the Tas Tyre Service consistency award. Other successful shooters included R Suitor, R Groves, W Zolyniak, A Styles, C Nichols, G Woodberry, K Aylett, L Ellis, S Zolyniak, J Thompson.
50 YEARS AGO | July 23, 1971 Biggest crowd ever at North Scottsdale Old North Scottsdale residents consider that the biggest crowd ever attended the Back to North Scottsdale celebrations on Saturday night. Organisers were thrilled to see so many of the 200 old families from the area invited to the function which was held in support of Miss Barbara Dilworth in the Miss Football Quest. There was little room for dancing, but the performance of the sets was well received by the big crowd. Music was supplied by Mrs. Campbell, Mr D Alexander and Mr L Chugg. Raffle prizes were won by Mrs Mac Harvey, Andrew Brown and Max Harvey. The organisers were appreciative of the help and assistance of everyone who helped make the evening one of the most successful the committee and the North Scottsdale community.

GENERAL NEWS
Lifeguards needed for pool A GROUP of residents hoping to keep the Winnaleah Pool open are planning to recruit a team of people to be trained as lifeguards. A representative Jamie Taylor said a committee formed after a crisis meeting earlier this year has decided the option of employing qualified lifeguards was best. The community had been told that without a lifeguard on duty insurance would not be available and the pool would not be able to open. Previously the pool had operated on a membership basis with about 50 members issued a key to access the pool as a private facility provided they had a first aid certificate. However, that system no longer meets insurance provisions, making it essential for a lifeguard to be in attendance whenever the pool is in use. That will add about $7000 a season to operation costs. The running costs of the pool are met by community fund raising and a $10,000
contribution from the Dorset Council. Ms Taylor said the council had also offered to fund the training of two lifeguards. “Ideally we’d like a team of five or six lifeguards so there is some flexibility with rostering. “We’ll need a team leader too to draw up timetables. “That’s how the Ringarooma pool works and they’ve been really helpful in explaining what’s needed.” She said it was hoped to organise a professional lifeguard to host an information session for people who might be interested in completing the training so they could be part of the team for the coming summer. “There are a few locals who are interested. “The more we can have trained up the better really because we’ll have some flexibility with hours that they have to be on duty.” The pool provides a valuable community
THE CANCER Council of Tasmania wants to hear from prospective members of a committee to organise the Dorset Relay for Life next year. The event has generally been held at the Scottsdale recreation ground, with participants walking laps over a 24-hour period. It is held every second year and the next relay is set down for March 5 and 6, 2022. Due to last year’s Covid cancellation it has been about four years since a Dorset relay has been held.
The northern co-ordinator for the relay for life Zoe Vandervelde said there were a few members remaining from the last organising committee willing to continue, but the Cancer Council wanted to build the membership back to about 10 to properly manage the event. “The committee will be responsible for the overall management of the relay, signing up teams, sourcing food stalls and entertainment, all the logistics for the event.” Teams taking part can have a many and

Be considerate of learners BY SENIOR CONSTABLE LUKE HOOPER GETTING a learner’s permit is an important milestone for the young and learning to drive can be both rewarding and stressful. Learners need to complete and log 80 hours of supervised driving in order to progress and they also have a requirement to experience driving at night. One of the reasons we all love the North-East so much is the open space and beautiful landscape, but with that comes longer travel times. We understand that it can be
frustrating getting stuck behind slow moving traffic during your travels, but please drive safely around the unexperienced. Remember that learner drivers may not know what to do in situations where the unexpected occurs. Please give them sufficient distance when following them, be patient and don’t tailgate, allow more reaction time for them at intersections, and if you need to overtake, do it only when it is safe to do so. Be mindful that you were a learner driver once, let’s teach responsible driving behaviour to learners by demonstrating it.

Hours cut for bank branch THERE’S been a storm of protest at the announcement that the Scottsdale branch of the Commonwealth Bank will cut its opening hours from later this year. It is one of 90 regional branches around Australia and nine in Tasmania due to reduce hours from October. The bank will open for face-to-face transactions from 9:30 am till 1 pm rather than closing at 4pm or 5 pm on business days. All staff would be retained to help the banks Australian-based contact centres, which were receiving more than a million increasingly complex calls every month. The bank’s executive general manager customer service network, Mark Jones, said the regional branches will continue to play an important role in delivering customer service in their communities. “This is an example of how we are adapting to meet changing customers’ evolving needs while ensuring jobs stay in regional communities,” Mr Jones said. “We’re expanding our Australian-based contact centre network from five dedicated locations to more than 90 communities across the country, while keeping a physical banking presence in regional communities.” Outside of these new trading hours, Bank@Post will continue to be available at 3,500 Australia Post outlets. CBA recently renewed its 110-year partnership with Australia Post until 2032, so both personal and business customers can make withdrawals, deposits and bill
payments, including passbooks, during normal business hours. The banks network of automatic teller machines would also remain available 24/7. “We understand these changes may be an adjustment for some of our customers, and the team at their local branch will continue to be available to help them find the solutions that best suit their needs,” Mr Jones said. However, the shortened hours has attracted a storm of criticism as another reduction of services to regional areas. One of the critics has been Dorset Mayor Greg Howard, who said it was just another case of big business ignoring the needs of rural residents. “Banks don’t want to see their customers, they just want their money. “This will be particularly tough on the older demographic, who tend to be not as technologically savvy, so they prefer the support and advice of personal banking. “A lot of people still use cheques and businesses need to bank cash.” The Commonwealth’s cut to hours follows the ANZ bank closing its Scottsdale branch completely in March this year. Councillor Howard said the ANZ would have lost many customers through that decision. • Scottsdale Commonwealth Bank branch … withdrawing some opening hours. “It’s all very well for the banks to try to force people into online banking, but England on one of my cards. banks’ central computers failed. electronic transactions aren’t as safe as “I got most of the money, but they won’t “I’ve lost count of the times my bank has they would have us believe. refund anything spent on gambling on line.” had problems with its computer and you “I know I had someone having a party in He said there was also an issue when just end up with no access to banking.”
Computer tool to manage forests THE FOREST Practices Authority is trying to simplify the process of managing forests for private landholders whose land includes bush. A new tool, called Check Before You Chop, has been added to the Authority’s website. Most forestry and tree clearing operations require a forest practices plan, but not all of them. Chief Forest Practices Officer, Dr Peter Volker said landowners should find it easier to work out if they need a forest practices
plan by using Check Before You Chop, which is an interactive guide through the exemptions that are outlined in the Forest Practices Regulations. The tool also guides landowners to Local Government, where permits may be required. The Forest Practices Authority regulates forest practices on all land in Tasmania and consistently finds lower compliance with the forest practices system among forest owners who don’t have regular contact with
the forest industry. “The FPA is focussed on education and communication so that people can comply with the Forest Practices Code when harvesting timber or clearing trees from their land. This new tool provides a guide so people can work out if they need a forest practices plan and if they do, how to go about getting one prepared,” Dr Volker said. “The new website is easier to navigate and provides a comprehensive view of the forest practices system and the research
that drives continual improvement. “We need to protect the integrity of Tasmania’s forestry and agricultural sectors as sustainable sources of primary produce.” The threatened species adviser, a new geographic information system-based planning tool, was also launched on the website. Forest planners can use the tool to identify and manage threatened species so that their habitat and populations are maintained.

Respect local health staff BY TONY SCOTT DOCTORS and the Health Department have called for the public to respect health protocols and hospital staff doing their job in enforcing them. It follows reports that some staff, including at Scottsdale’s North-East Soldiers Memorial Hospital, have been abused when insisting that visitors or patients for day procedures wear a mask. The chief executive of Hospitals North/ North West, Eric Daniels, urged the Dorset community to support staff who are working hard to protect vulnerable patients by enforcing the statewide requirement for all visitors to wear a face mask. “As part of Tasmania’s response to protect the community and vulnerable patients in our hospitals in particular, a regulation was put in place in July requiring all visitors to public hospitals across the State, including patients attending Emergency Departments and other outpatient departments like Radiology, to wear a mask. “This applies to any visitor or arriving patient aged 12 or over.”
Mr Daniels said there were some exemptions if there were a medical certificate or other documentation from a medical practitioner of a physical, mental health, illness, condition or disability that makes wearing a mask unsuitable. That documentation should be carried by anyone entering a public hospital without a mask. There are also restrictions on visitor numbers and visiting hours. At present visiting is limited to one visitor per patient at a time. All visitors must also undergo health screening at the hospital entrance. “I understand not everyone is happy with the current restrictions but we are living in challenging times. “Hospital staff are doing their very best in extraordinary circumstances and need to be supported by their communities. “The requirement for hospital visitors to wear masks and to undertake health screening on entry relates to all public hospitals and not just the one at Scottsdale,” he said. The Tasmanian secretary of the Rural Doctors Association Ben Dodds reinforced
• Scottsdale’s North-East Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital. the Department’s view. Scottsdale-based Dr Dodds said the protocols hadn’t just been dreamt up, but had been introduced by Public Health for a reason. “Statistics have shown health settings, like hospitals, are high risk. “Given what’s been happening in NSW, Melbourne and Queensland these measures are totally reasonable.” “You never know where Covid is going to pop up and this Delta strain is highly transmissible. “It can be passed on in just fleeting contact
of 10 seconds or less, so these protocols are all about mitigating the risks. Dr Dodds said it had been a stressful 18 months for health professionals. “It would be really disappointing if people flouting the rules and abusing staff became widespread.” In more welcome news he pointed to statistics released by the Federal Government revealing that the Launceston and NorthEast statistical area was leading the nation for people over 15 who have been fully vaccinated with 27 per cent of the population. The proportion of those who have received one shot is also in the top handful at just over 50per cent. State Health Minister Jeremy Rockliff thanked the community for the response to the pandemic. “We are confident that every eligible Tasmanian will have the chance to get vaccinated in coming months. “We continue to work with GPs, roll out more clinics to remote communities, recruit more vaccinators, and will soon welcome more than 20 pharmacies to our effort,” Mr Rockliff said.
COMMUNITY GRANTS ON OFFER CLUBS and community organisations in Dorset are being encouraged to consider if they should apply for a new round of grants for worthwhile projects. The Dorset Community Grants program has opened with three levels of funding being available. Applications for the program, which has a total pool of $55,000, will be received until August 17,2021. Small grants of up to $2000 are designed for community groups and organisations seeking assistance towards programs, projects or events that improve the wellbeing of people living in Dorset.
A matching funds grants stream for up to $15,000 provide additional funding for community-driven projects that enhance and strengthen the Dorset community . Granted funds must be matched with a matching dollar value of cash and/or inkind contribution from the applicant. The projects are initiated, planned and implemented by community members, in partnership with Dorset Council. Grants of up to $15,000 are also available through the Dorset Councillors’ Discretionary Grant stream. These grants provide funding for projects that are on land owned by Dorset
Council. Applications for one of these grants may be submitted at any time, using the appropriate application form. Discretionary grant funds become available from July 1, and remain available during the financial year until the year's discretionary grant pool has been fully allocated. As well as the council grants scheme there are a number of other institutions that regularly have grants available for community projects, including Hydro Tasmania and Bell Bay Aluminium, whose program generally closes in November. There are also a variety of State funded grants available from time to time.
Improving the playing field program opened recently offering both small ($25,000 to $50,000) and large (up to $500,000) to close in September and the end of October respectively. It is designed to improve infrastructure at sports facilities particularly to make them suitable for use by both genders. There is also a scheme to provide vehicles for community transport, closing at the end of August. The Tasmanian Community Fund offers grants for a wide variety of project with programs opening at different types of the year.

Fiesta serves up marine fashion FASHION fans were catered for at Sunday’s Tassie Scallop Fiesta with the Bernina fashion show, featuring designs by TasTAFE students, who competed for a $700 sewing machine. Fiesta co-ordinator Leonie Johnston said the audience was fascinated by the marine-themed display. “The fact that so many of the garments were made from salvaged material held the interest of the crowd, who became the judges of the models for the day.”
The winning designer was Launceston student Brittany Reader, who modelled her garment, which was inspired by a ‘message in a bottle’ and wore a miniature version as a necklace. Compere for the show Fiona Auton described the creation “a navy-blue coat, finished with chiffon and netting flare to the sleeves expressing the essence of a sophisticated pirate.” Having grown by the sea Brittany said she had memories of family adventures around the shoreline.

Close shave for mullet man STUDENTS from Scottsdale Primary School will take part in the World’s Greatest Shave on Friday August 20. The global event is held to raise funds and awareness of leukaemia, people affected by the disease and research to combat it. A group of seven students from the Student Leadership Council have volunteered, some to have their hair

shaved off and others to have it coloured. One of those planning to lose the lot is Jed Gofton, who has been growing his luxuriant mullet for three years. Jed’s sister Maddi had cancer when she was a baby and he was inspired in grade two to join in the Student Leadership Council’s shave when he was old enough. That time has come around and Jed is preparing to be bald, for a while at least.
The students had a fundraising goal of $1000, but they have already reached more than $2200 and are suggesting people interested in donating go to worldsgreatestshave.com and search for Scottsdale Primary School to access their donation page. They have thanked all donors from the community to date and asked people to continue to give until August 20.
DERBY’S mountain bike network is to re-open today, Wednesday 4 August, after a two-week closure due to wet weather. The rest from riders the trails have received is expected to help them quickly recover from the wet weather, which is forecast to ease over the next week. The trail from Blue Tier is to remain closed for its annual winter maintenance, along with the trail east to Bay of Fires, and the Atlas trail is still being refurbished so will also remain closed.

Predictions offer hope THERE are many contradictions in the world as to what will happen in the future. After all, do we really know? What we can do is look at history to see what has occurred and how, if at all, any of the predictions have come to pass. We can look at Nostradamus, go to fortune tellers, astrologers and many people who offer a look into the future. There will be many varying statistics as to the accuracy of what has been predicted. What most people will not be told is ‘how accurate the Bible is’ when it comes to prophecy. Many of the prophecies in the Old Testament have been fulfilled. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ was prophesied, and written history has confirmed the event. There are many more predictions in the Bible, which are unfolding and leading us to the soon return of Jesus. It is only through faith and study of what has been written that we can have a hope for a future without death, sickness, sadness and separation. 2 Peter 1:19 also has the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

The Blue Derby MTB trails are in state forests that are able to be logged by Sustainable Timbers Tasmania. Further, environment-based tourism will help to preserve Aboriginal heritage, especially in areas such as the Tarkine

Research in Victoria and Tasmania has shown that intact native forests can slow large fires, as they contain more soil moisture than plantation forests. They also constitute a complex ecosystem of many species, with the rainforest understorey being fire-retardant. Maintaining large stands of high conservation value native forests is vital to counteracting the severe damage caused by bushfires and tackles climate change. The first film – What if Running Could Save the Rainforest – followed the story of a Smithton doctor, Nicole Anderson, who took up running in one of the largest temperate rainforests in the world, the Tarkine. Dr Anderson used her love of running to help protect these areas from logging. The Tarkine is now an ultramarathon destination, with the Patagonia Ultramarathon taking place there annually. Discussion took place on the importance of avoiding divisive language such as ‘forest wars’ when referring
FREIGHT
to appropriate use of public forests. Sustainable forestry and conservation can (and should) live side-by-side. The second film – Tasmanian Big Tree Hunters – featured five Tasmanians who ‘love big trees’. Tasmania is home to the tallest species of flowering plant in the southern hemisphere, Eucalyptus regnans (commonly known as stringy gum or swamp gum in Tasmania, mountain ash on the mainland), and some of the tallest trees in the world. We are renowned internationally for our magnificent forests, yet we don’t capitalise on this. Perhaps on the grounds that familiarity breeds contempt, many Tasmanians seem unaware of the potential for our awe-inspiring giant native trees to be the basis of flourishing eco-tourism in the state. The southern hemisphere’s tallest tree, the Centurion, was shown. This tree, which is 100 m tall, survived the 2019 bushfires, but most of the forest around it was burned. Those fires were also responsible for the loss of 15 of the largest 25 trees in the southern hemisphere. After lunch, four members who are keen photographers – Ross Coad, Ann Scott, Jay Wilson and Lou Brooker – showed some of their favourite photos of Tasmania’s natural environment.

10 | THE NORTH – EASTERN ADVERTISER | WEDNESDAY AUGUST 04, 2021
Footy cancellation questioned THERE’S controversy and some questions still being asked about the decision by the NTFA to call off all of last Saturday’s games in the Division One competition. Bridport was set to play its final home game against Meander Valley. But Club secretary Cara Howlett said the Association had told Bridport just before three o’clock last Friday afternoon that it had invoked its by-laws to call the whole round off after two games had been cancelled. It’s understood the matches were to have been played at Invermay Park and the NTCA, both controlled by Launceston City Council, which had declared they were unsuitable for play. The Lilydale and Old Launcestonians game was cancelled last Wednesday, but Mrs Howlett said they weren’t told which
was the second game called off, simply that the whole round was off. “It was very disappointing to just be told like that. “Our ground is wet, but the club and council have spent a lot on drainage and it was quite playable. “The game against Meander Valley wouldn’t have made any real difference to the ladder but after the time and effort you put into organising a home game it’s disappointing to miss out on the revenue that a home game brings.” Bridport’s final game for the season is set down to be against St Pats at Prospect. The cancellation of the East Coast Swans game against Old Scotch had more implications for the ladder, as the Swans still had a chance of securing a double chance in the finals race with a win.
They were due to play at the NTCA, but could have switched to a home game at St Helens, which has not received anything like the rainfall as Launceston, and the ground is in excellent condition. Bridport’s final Auskick for the year did go ahead and the participants were treated to a presentation of medals and certificates along with chips and party pies afterwards. Mr Howlett said it would have been a disappointment for the youngsters as well that there was no competitive matches on the ground after their kick. “We try to make the experience make them part of the club,” she said. Bridport’s annual ball did go ahead on Saturday night with a Covid-limited • King of the ball Nick Sutton, Queen EJ crowd of 90 celebrating into the night. McCarthy and Princess Ellie Moore.

ACROSS THE BOARD BY MICHAEL FINLAYSON WHILE I’ve seen Bridport play several times and the East Coast Swans a couple, the last few weeks there has not been a lot to choose from. Last time I saw anyone kick a footy it was Dorset Mayor Greg Howard attempting a banana in a goal kicking competition against the Deputy Premier Jeremey Rockliff on the Village Green at Bridport. The Scottsdale under 16s have provided some releif in what has been a hot and cold season form wise. They won’t play finals, but have some talented players like Jack Hadley, Daniel Wiggins, Kade McKillop, Joe Easter and captain Alex Stein. Up forward Tyrell Johnston is a real dangerman and a great reader of the play. Lekkas Mountney is a real goer when it counts. These boys are players for the future and I’m sure they will appreciate tbe guidance
of coach James Hayward and his assistant Tony Saunders. Well done to every player in the team. A few weeks ago while waiting to watch these boys play I saw the last half of an under 14 game between South Launceston and North Launceston. It finished in a draw. Lachlan Taylor (son of Anthony) took a mark and kicked an important goal for South late in the game. It was probably the best footy I’ve seen this year. Elliot Tyson will notch up his 100th senior game for Scottsdale this Saturday against Bracknell. As a junior he played at Bridport and also played about 30 senior games. He was a member of two under 19 premiership teams with the Magpies. He is a very talented member of the Scottsdale team and will no doubt be hoping for the boys to win on the day. GO • Elliot Tyson about to enter the fray for THE MAGPIES! his 100th game for Scottsdale Magpies.
Swans face uphill battle BY NICK FYSH THE EAST Coast Swans senior side faces a formidable task in their attempt to steal the coveted third position on the ladder from this weeks’ rival, Old Launceston’s, who beat them soundly in their only clash this year. The Swans will need to win by around 40 points to leapfrog OL’s percentage and therefore clash with Old Scotch in a qualifying final. Last Saturday’s enforced bye will give the Swans injuries an extra week to improve and the side should welcome back Nick Child, Lewis Ritchie, Shaun Cannon and Hamish Tate into the team, while Sam Child, James Faulkner and Adam Marland remain in doubt. The Swans forward line was soundly beaten by their Blues counterparts in the last match and will need to find more avenues to goal. The midfield battle will be crucial, with Majak Miar of the Swans pitted against veteran Danny Hall in the ruck contests, while the Swans on ballers, Seen, Evans, Goldfinch and Upton will need to gain plenty of possessions if their team is to prevail. The match will be held at St Helens, with the oval still in great condition despite plenty of inclement weather.

Magpies locked down after half time BY PETER FISH IT was a very slow track at Longford on Saturday and at the half way mark the Magpies were still in the race despite the late scratching of the Lanham brothers before the start. They trailed by just four points. As one astute observer noted: "If we'd been offered this scoreline before the match we'd have taken it." But as so often has happened this season, the team failed to sustain its efforts. While ladder-leader Longford careered away booting seven goals, the Magpies could manage just a single point in the second half. The home team suddenly found multiple options in attack despite Lochie Young's brilliant blanketing job on leading goalkicker Murfitt-Cowen. Their quick movement into attack caught out the defensive half, who were under siege, whereas in contrast the Magpies lacked a dangerous forward and were slow and indecisive in their ball use. It was not surprising that the team's best players were in the back half. Young was outstanding at full back, while Singline, Whish-Wilson, Barnes and Louis Burr were solid for most of the day. The past month has been a challenging period for the club, and after the game coach Ethan Petterwood urged his players to get something out of the last two games. This week is the club's final home game for the season against Bracknell, and the senior group will have the opportunity to celebrate the milestone matches of Brady Gee and Elliot Tyson who both play their 100th game for the club. It was a different story for the women's team, who put on a clinic in the muddy conditions thrashing Longford 107 points to nil. Significantly the win boosted their percentage and almost certainly assures them of third place on the ladder. Coach Cabel Hall would have been pleased the way his girls shared the ball around especially in front of goals. Eleven players scored goals including Ash Bowen, who enjoyed the opportunity to move out of defence unlike her dad who spent his entire career trying to stop goals not kick them. Kresta Davis thrived in the muddy

• Kate Minchin heads goalwards for the Magpie women, which was a common corridor. conditions as did sisters Lucy Dennis and Alex Hall. Maddy Reid and Danielle Walters each kicked two goals reflecting the team's multiple options in attack. The team finishes its roster with a home game against Meander Valley on Saturday before embarking on yet another finals series. Eight unanswered goals to their opposition in the first term made the reserves' job almost impossible. The team scored in just one quarter against a team which has lost just two games for the season. Once again it was Denham Hall and Marc Nunan who thrived on the heavy ground and the big Texan Matthew Ridge won most of the ruck contests. The Under 18s, like the reserves, gave their opponents a big start, and struggled to kick goals themselves. Xsavier Clifford, one of the Flinders Island boys, continues to impress, while Healey Mather's class shone out despite the difficult ground conditions. This team has two games left and will be looking for a win either this week or next. The boys have done it tough this year and no one would begrudge them some success before the season ends. All four teams will be at home on Saturday with the Under 18s kicking off proceedings at 9.10am. The club sets aside one home game a year as its charity round, and on Saturday
May Shaw Aminya will benefit from a cash donation, which will help the Lions and Rotary Clubs' fencing project at the recently refurbished facility. The old players, officials and supporters have also organised a function during the day, while the club's annual ball will be held in the evening. "It's a big day for the club and our community, and we'd like to pick up a couple of wins in our final fixture at home," club president Cameron Moore said.
