Music Warm Warren welcome returns for NSW Governor

WARREN is the place to be this Sunday afternoon when Sydney Youth Orchestras’ (SYO) Big Sky Tour will perform a late afternoon concert.

Warren Sporting and Cultural Centre will be transformed into a concert hall for the show, which is under the baton of conductor James Pensini.

SYO’s talented young musicians will present an afternoon of exceptional music-making in Warren, including the world premiere of Andrew Howes’ specially commissioned choral work celebrating Royal Far West’s centenary.

This special performance also features a unique partnership with SING Warren and a special collaboration with Warraan Widji Arts, showcasing the power of collaboration between visiting artists and local musical talent.

“The concert promises to be a highlight of the regional cultural calendar, collaborating with the Warren community and creating an opportunity to experience the energy and artistry of one of Australia’s premier youth orchestras in an intimate, accessible setting,” SYO organisers said.

“This partnership represents a beautiful meeting of musical minds, where the passionate voices of Warren’s local singers join with visiting young SYO orchestral musicians to create something truly special,” they added.

“The collaboration showcases how music transcends boundaries and brings communities together, celebrating both the established musical traditions of Warren and the fresh energy of SYO’s talented youth musicians.”

By SHARON BONTHUYS THE Warren community extended a warm welcome to Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC, Governor of NSW, and her husband, Mr Dennis Wilson, during their visit last week.

meeting the elected local government representatives and senior staff at the Warren Council Chambers.

After a tour of the community, the Vice-Regal couple travelled to the Warren Museum and Art Gallery (WAM), where they enjoyed a private tour of the facility which the Governor later described as “world class”.

They then joined community members for a light lunch organised by council and beautifully catered by Belinda Fitzgerald and served by hospitality students from the Warren Central School.

Her Excellency told the councillors of her great joy in meeting people on her regional tours. “One of the great joys of this job actually has been to get out into the regions, not only to see them, but to meet people,” she said.

“What do I feel by coming here? I feel happy. What a fantastic thing,” she added, praising the council for the combination of experience, infrastructure and community-focused activities that she felt were necessary for a community to thrive and succeed.

So you really have to congratulate those who’ve stayed for a long time and those who have come here. I think that’s really very positive.

with local issues effectively. “There are issues that pervade every community, but there’s one element that allows the community to have confidence in its own ability to deal with those issues,” he explained.

“That is the feeling that comes through to us immediately when we get into a town. You see vibrancy, you see enthusiasm, you see intentiveness, you see organisation, you see all of those elements which are indicia of those things that allow a community to deal with its own issues effectively.

Lockdown social media stars Digitising historical of Collie Hotel move on photos is a labour of love

DIGITISING precious historical photos that chart the history and heritage of the local area is one of the current projects being undertaken by the Warren Historical and Family History Society Inc. The time-consuming task is a labour of love, according to society president, Pat Christoff.

Pat, who has been involved with the society for 15 years, said it’s a slow process indexing and digitising the vast collection of photographs the organisation has accumulated over many years.

The project has taken 12 months so far,

and Pat paid tribute to historical society member Sue Green, who is heavily involved in the scanning and indexing of the photos.

Despite the workload, the 12-member Warren Historical and Family History Society would still welcome even more photos, Pat told the Warren Star.

“We’re looking for more photos – any that pertain to the residents and township,” she added.

“Eventually we’d like to put them online,” Pat concluded.

If readers have any photos they would like to contribute to the project, Pat would love to hear from them.

New management at Nevertire Hotel

LOCKDOWN star during the dark days of the COVID pandemic, the iconic Collie Pub has recently been sold by owners, Tom and Emily Hancock.

The family became a bit of a worldwide sensation when they started a hokey but very popular social media account at a time when everyone was looking for distractions from the slowdrip boredom of one quarantine period after another.

Hosting rodeos, visitors in a range of outlandish outfits, car shows, and classical music concerts, Tom told local media that its success was a surprise to both he and his wife.

“We never expected, obviously, when we’d buy a little country pub sort of located where, that we would be able to get as big as what it is it is through social media platforms and obviously travellers and that sort of stuff.” Tom said. ”It’s been an incredible ride, a unique ride, travellers from all over the countryside and all over the world, and my wife and I are grateful for everyone that’s been part of our journey for us”.

For nearly 10 years they ran the pub, morning, noon, and night, but believe that now is the time to move on. “Biggest thing at the end of the day is that my wife and I have two little kids.

“So it’s time to watch them play soccer on the weekend, and not be here pouring beers every day,” Tom explained.

Sold to new owners and with a management team in place, ale reflects the increased demand for rural pubs, selling agent, Saville’s sales executive, Hugo Weston, said.

“We’re dealing with obviously interest rates dropping, and we’ve got a lot of buyers with low ‘LVR’s’ (loan-to-value ratios) at the moment, so we’re predicating a bit of an influx of transactions in the pub world towards the second half of the year,” Mr Weston said.

Beside the Oxley Highway, the hotel features a bar and restaurant, large front and rear beer gardens, countrystyle rooms sleeping 14 guests, and a owners/manager’s residence, with the current management team of the pub reportedly staying on. “It will exciting to see what the new owners have with fresh ideas,” Mr Weston concluded.

Roadworks planned: Oxley Highway rail level crossing

WARREN Shire Council has announced that road rehabilitation works will take place at the Oxley Highway Rail Level Crossing, Warren, early next month.

The roadworks will commence on Monday, July 7, and run for several days. The project will involve asphalt rehabilitation designed to enhance road safety, improve durability and ensure a smoother driving experience for all road users, according to the council.

From barber to the skies, for VIEW Club guest speaker, Captain Ralph Smith

CONTRIBUTED BY WARREN VIEW CLUB FLYING high and chasing your dreams was the fascinating theme of Warren VIEW Club’s June luncheon last Wednesday, June 18 at the USC Auditorium.

Guest speaker was Captain Ralph Smith, who spoke of his desire to be an aviator from his earliest teenage years, working as a barber to save money to study for his commercial pilot’s licence.

Ralph then learnt to fly at Narromine Aero Club and on gaining his wings, began working as a loader driver for an aerial agricultural company, before progressing to becoming an agricultural pilot.

He later owned his own agricultural companies in Warren, Wee Waa and Coffs Harbour, before moving onto another chapter in aviation - what he described as his best years of flying for The Royal Flying Doctor Service Queensland section, based in Charleville and Rockhampton. Further studies to gain his Australian Transport Pilot’s Licence (ATPL) involved Ralph flying out of Cairns for Airlines PNG, another highlight.

Ralph also flew for many seasons in mainland China.

However, there was one thing left to achieve before his flying career door closed, and that was in the “fire-bombing” field, for the fire-fighting seasons in Stawell and Casterton, Victoria, before retiring some years ago.

Many of the Warren VIEW club members have memories of Ralph’s time in Warren and were happy to renew an acquaintance with him over a lovely, inspiring, and informative lunch.

ROY’S ROUND-UP Comment by ROY BUTLER, State Member for Barwon G’day folks, it has been an interesting couple of weeks since parliament last sat in the early part of June.

Last week I left Sydney on a Saturday to head to Broken Hill to meet the Minister for Local Government, Ron Hoenig, stopping at a property to meet the great guys from Essential Energy along the way (definitely investigate getting one of their padlocks if you need them to fix something while you’re away).

From Monday, I have been hosting Ron around the electorate and meeting with six of my 13 councils including Broken Hill, Central Darling, Cobar, Bourke, Brewarrina, Bogan and Warren.

It was 30 hours of driving, and I covered 2700 km.

Ron spoke to the councils about his reform agenda for local government and it was pretty well received.

It’s always good to get the cabinet ministers out into the electorate so they can see with their own eyes the issues I raise, and take the need for action back to cabinet. Ron is the Leader of the House and a senior cabinet minister. He is pretty influential and will advocate for the electorate.

Oh, and I had no tyre issues the entire time I was out in the electorate.

This week I’m back in parliament for a sitting week.

weeks it can be difficult to contact me, but as I have always said you can more easily get in touch with my office.

To contact my office or to request a meeting with me or a minister, the most secure way to make sure that your issue is picked up as soon as possible is to email my address at parliament.

Text messages and phone calls don’t register with our constituent and issue management software, and rely on manually relaying the information to the office.

As opposed to having a whole team of people who are waiting to take action for you!

I never want to have action delayed on your issues because the individual you contact may not be able to action your request in a timely manner.

I don’t want the important things that you have raised with someone to slip through the cracks, be accidentally deleted, or be delayed because someone is on leave and doesn’t have their work phone on.

All our contact details are on my personal website.

Committee hearings rescheduled I spent much of the King’s Birthday long Weekend reading a stack of submissions ahead of hearings for an inquiry into the Impacts of the Water Amendment (Restoring Our Rivers) Act 2023 on NSW regional communities, which is being conducted by the Investment, Industry and Regional Development committee.

Because I chair the committee, I needed to be across all the information in those submissions. The hearing has now been rescheduled to July [due to air travel issues].

Another example of the uncertainties of regional air travel… Hearings that were meant to be held in Narrabri as Making contact part of the inquiry into my legislation With a sitting week on, most of my to split the Hunter New England LHD time will be spent in meetings, in the were also postponed because committee chamber or at events. During these members were unable to fly to Narrabri

due to a mechanical issue. I will keep you updated as to when they will be rescheduled, the community will get their chance to have their say. Two postponements of committee hearings so close together would have highlighted for parliament some of the problems with flying in the country that are experienced by people who live there or who rely on regular regional air travel.

There is not much that can be done about the weather, but I will make a point of talking with the relevant ministers about what can be done to improve air travel to and from the bush.

Faith Matters: What are you relying on?

By ANNITA CAMPBELL, WARREN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

“PUT your trust in Jesus” is a phrase bandied around. But what does it mean to “put your trust” in anything? Can you be trusting something, and not even realise it? What would you discover, if you had a close look?

Perhaps you are relying on your strength or good health to keep the money coming in. Perhaps you are relying on the assets you have accumulated.

Perhaps the support you feel from family and friendships buoy you up in life.

Perhaps your intellect and smarts have got you to this point in life, and you trust they will into the future.

Would it scare you to lose any of these - health, money, relationships? These are all good things, but can they be eter-

Under the Companion Animals Act 1998, it is an offence if your dog is not under effective control, meaning if a dog is not confined within a house or yard, or tethered by an adequate cord, leash or chain. Warren Shire Council has “off leash area” for exercising your dog, these are located: 1) Grassed area adjacent to levee bank along River Ave (Ebert Park); 2) Grassed area adjacent to levee bank along Orchard St (Orchard Street Park).

The public is reminded that when your dog is off the leash, the dog must be under control of a competent adult.

If you come across a dog that is not under effective control, you should contact the Warren Shire Council Ranger on 02 6847 6600 for the dog to be seized and impounded.

west of Narrabri with the last of the 48 pre-cast concrete supporting girders being installed. The new steel and reinforced concrete bridge will ultimately replace the old concrete box culvert structure that was built back in 1968.

The concrete used is locally sourced.

Work on the new bridge, which will be wider, stronger and safer, started in September last year with the demolition of the old bridge.

The next phase of the project will be pouring the bridge deck.

The $13.1 million project is funded by state and federal governments, with $5 million from the Australian Government’s Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure Program and $8.1 from the NSW Government.

The bridge is expected to open to traffic later this year, weather permitting.

Every 10 years - replace all smoke alarms every 10-years or as specified by the manufacturer.

nally trusted? Some people say these are “uncertain economic times”. Stories circulate about families who fight over, or squander, what older generations worked hard to establish.

Scandal or innuendo can tarnish a good reputation in an instant. Relationships can sour with no warning. Yet, in all this, “Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).

Get to know Jesus for yourself. One way you could do that is by reading the book of John.

Listen to what He says about Himself: “My father (God) wants everyone to trust me for eternal life. Then I will raise them to life on the last day” (John 6:40). Confess to Him that you’ve been putting your trust in lesser things, and make the life-giving decision to rely on Him instead.

Veteran Jack and young gun Will make Cockatoos train-on squad

By DALLAS REEVES

WARREN’S standing as a strong rugby union town - belying the district’s small population and distant location has again been highlighted with two Pumas recently earning preliminary NSW Country Cockatoos selection.

Pumas tight-head prop (and Club President), Jack Kelly has earned a spot in the opens train-on squad, while talented fullback, William Johnson, has been named in the Colts’ (under 20s) train-on squad.

For Kelly, it is a long-awaited return to the Country Cockatoos, while for Johnson it’s the start of a promising career.

The pair both found-out the good news before they played Nyngan’s Bogan Bulls in late May, with the official selections following in early June.

Kelly last represented the Cockatoos about seven-years-ago and, although the dominant scrummager has been a Western Plains regular, he said he was shocked to learn of his latest callup. He was not nonplussed, however, at Johnson’s selection, with the young star having scored 89 points (seven tries, 22 conversions, and two penalty goals) in six matches this year, the Rugby Xplorer site revealed.

“Pretty surprised for myself,” Kelly said. “Young Will didn’t surprise; he’s been playing well for Warren, and had a

pretty stand-out competition (representing Western Plains opens at the Country Championships) at Tamworth (in May).

“Warren as a club, we’ve been playing well as a team, that’s helping a lot,” he added.

Kelly, 27, has played seniors for Warren since he was 17 and last earned a Cockatoos call-up as a young lad. The pair travel to Maitland in mid-July for a training day with the Final squads for the Opens and Colts sides being named afterwards.

Johnson originally hails from Grenfell and moved to Warren to work as a jackeroo.

While at the Pumas, he has found at home at fullback and represented Western Plains along with Kelly at the NSW Country Championships at Tamworth in May. “We were very lucky to pick him up for this year,” Kelly said of Johnson.

Kelly now lives in the Dubbo region and could play elsewhere, but loves lining-up for the Pumas while also acting in administration as the club leader.

“We have a great culture and team here and I just enjoy playing for Warren,” Kelly said.

The pair join players from zones across the state including Central West, Warren Pumas vice-president, Harry Hailstone, said that Kelly’s selection in the senior side is well-deserved.

Strong rugby tradition, Will Johnson (colts) and Jack Kelly (seniors) are Warren Pumas’ representatives in the NSW Country Cockatoos train-on squads. Photo courtesy of Warren Pumas Rugby Club.

“Just on Jack, he’s been a very strong part of the club for a lot of years now,” Hailstone said.

“He’s always played representative footy with Western Plains and always gives 100 per cent on the field.

“He is shaped like a round-up drum, so he does well in the front row.

“It’s good that he is getting another crack at it (Cockatoos).”

On Johnson, Hailstone said the Pumas have loved every minute of him being in

Warren. “He’s a slippery little player… seems to find space in a lot of places like us regular blokes can only dream of it,” Hailstone said.

“He has been an outstanding pick-up to slot in at fullback… he’s been very helpful to have, fitted into the club very well,” he concluded.

Tim Beach, who grew-up in Warren and now plays for the Dubbo Kangaroos in Central West Rugby Union, also made the Country Senior train-on squad.

Grant success for Warren Pumas overcome sporting clubs committed Coonamble for big win

By DALLAS REEVES

WARREN was able to overcome a relatively slow start to score some great tries in a clinical 66-20 defeat of Coonamble in Western Plains Rugby Union at Coonamble on Saturday.

Pumas president (and prop) Jack Kelly said the Pumas did enough to gain ascendancy early, and then were able to pile on points in the second half.

“It was a bit of a slow start (and we have) a few injuries, so we are just trying to build some consistency and start the second round with some success,” Kelly said.

“We pulled it together in the second half and had a really good finish.

“We showed if we want to turn it on, that we can,” he added.

This result means that, after six matches, both Warren and Nyngan’s Bogan Bulls share a 5-1 win-loss record, after Walgett defeated the Bulls 24-14 on Saturday.

Kelly said it is important that the Pumas maintain momentum with four matches left in the regular season before the finals. In the match, Joe Hamblin at

inside centre had a big game with hard ball-running and solid defence, collecting two five-pointers. Charlie Howard also returned at fly-half and played well.

Matt Kelly was also around the ruck at halfback and, along with Hamblin, was one of four Warren players to score two tries.

“The second half we put four tries on in around 15 minutes,” he said. “We were able to turn it on, which was nice,” Kelly said.

Looking ahead to Friday night’s game against Gulargambone at Gilgandra, Kelly said ball control and composure will be critical against the Galahs.

Gulargambone went down to the Bourke-Brewarrina Barbarians 40-14 at Bourke in Round Six. In the Ahrens Cup Ladies Tri Tag on Saturday, Coonamble were able to run out strong 76-nil victors against Warren.

Elders First Grade Competition: Warren 66 (Matt Kelly 2, Will Young 2, Will Johnson 2, Joe Hamblin 2, Jack Kelly, Oliver Ferrari tries; Will Johnson 8 goals) defeated Coonamble 20. Ahrens Cup Tri Tag: Coonamble 76 defeated Warren 0.

“Many of our sporting clubs are central to community life, and investing in this infrastructure can benefit these communities beyond just weekend sport,” he added.

“I’d like to thank the NSW Government and the Minister for Sport, Steve Kamper, for providing nine regional and rural sporting clubs with the funding they need to keep contributing to their local sport and community.

“Sport out west is more than just recreation. For us it’s vital to our social fabric, this funding means we can continue to invest and improve in Barwon’s overall quality of life,” Mr Butler concluded.

RACING REPORT

By COLIN HODGES

Bathurst - raced June 19 Reece Jones, now a group one winning jockey based in Sydney, served much of his apprenticeship with Rod Northam and he reunited with the Scone trainer to land a double on Speedy Henry and Grandini on Thursday at Bathurst.

Unplaced when a $1.45 favourite at Dubbo, Speedy Henry ($1.85 to $2.15 favourite)was given a charmed run behind the leading trio at Bathurst before racing to a two lengths win over Navios (Rebecca Bronett Prag, $7) and His Honour (Pierre Boudvillain, $12) in the 1200 metres Winning Post Signage Opportunity Class Two Plate.

In the following race the 1400 metres Class One Handicap Grandini settled midfield while Drawn Fours established an eight lengths lead heading down the back section of the Tyers Park track.

Melissa Harrison as the trainer of a good size team recently transferred to Forbes and On The Decs became her first winner since the move.

Steadily making ground from near last early, On The Decs edged past the leading pack in the straight with Interventionist emerging from the tail of the field with a spirited challenge.

Refusing to yield, On The Decs (Mikayla Weir, $26) in an exciting finish won by a short half head from Interventionist (Ken Dunbar, $11) with Straight Fire (Jean Van Overmeire, $4.20 favourite) in third place.

Apprentice jockey Ryan Bradley (21) has endured an injury interrupted career and he was relieved to be back in action and riding a winner at Bathurst in the 1100 metres Benchmark 58 Handicap.

Aboard the Anthony Mountney, Kembla Grange trained Vis I Do ($3.20 to $2.80 favourite) Ryan Bradley waited for the cutaway at the top of the straight then took the rails run to sprint to a convincing win from Choice Deel (Mathew Cahill, $8) and All Astern (Kody Nestor, $3.70).

Stepping up to 1850 metres at Bligh, Allande was allowed to settle in a rearwards position while Bossa Nova Lad established a four lengths lead over the eight-horse field.

Reaching the lead in the straight, Allande ($2.60) held on gamely to win by almost a length from former Queensland galloper Jetpack Verdi (Todd Bailey, $8) which fought on well, while a close third was Boys Cry (Tamsin Gough, $13).

Allande is now high on the point score qualifying ladder for the $50,000 Picnic Championship Final to be held at Dubbo in October.

Riding for his partner Muswellbrook trainer Julia Presits, Leandro Ribeiro had earlier won the 1400 metres Merotherie Handicap on Avoid Me.

Langby takes on Warren “Reggies” coaching role

By DALLAS REEVES

FRED Langby has been around rugby league in Warren for most of his life, and while his first coaching appointment at any level was a long time coming, it was still very much appreciated.

Fred has taken on the Reserve Grade supremo role for the Warren Bulldogs Men’s seconds side’s debut this weekend, joining Braith Boyd from the Men’s First Grade outfit and Jason Boyd from the Ladies League Tag, on the Bulldogs’ coaching staff. For the match, Warren will travel to Baradine to play Baradine in all three grades (Firsts, Reserves, and League Tag).

Fred’s own history with the Club included playing for the Bulldogs as a junior, with both of his sons, Andrew and Matthew, also having been junior and senior Bulldogs.

Matthew was a talented junior who represented NSW Country at Under 18s and also represented Central Highlands at senior level after moving to Emerald, Queensland, where he still resides. Matthew is also a Bulldogs member despite living in the Sunshine State.

Fred described himself as an avid supporter of rugby league in the bush; with his grandsons, Dusty and Angus, also playing for the junior Bulldogs.

He was also involved with the former Warren Bulldogs committee, before the club went into recess last decade but said that both the past and present committees have been great to work with.

“The (current) committee is very enthusiastic,” he said.

“The club itself is very enthusiastic, a good bunch of juniors coming through, first grade is dedicated to the cause,” he added. Fred has managed sides previ-

ously and performed other roles around football over the years and he and his brother-in-law, Russell Oriel, have not missed a game in 2025, home and away.

Russell’s wife, Janice, also works in the Bulldogs’ canteen, making the club very much a family affair.

So, why apply to coach? “I suppose, I put my hand up with the growth and momentum of the Warren Bulldogs,” he said.

“You can see the energy the club brought to the town by the crowds turning up to each week; I was pretty passionate about supporting the dogs,” Fred explained.

He thinks Castlereagh League’s shortened Reserve Grade competition, which traditionally starts in late June and runs for the final five to six rounds before the finals which are held in conjunction with the First Grade and League Tag play-offs, is ideal.

“It’s a perfect back-up for the First Grade squad,” he believes.

“A lot of these little bush towns, probably have one-and-a-half teams in First Grade… it allows guys that aren’t getting game time in First Grade, to come back and play.

“But it also allows older guys who are maybe past First Grade, or younger guys who aren’t quite ready, to still play Reserve Grade, have a role, and be a part of the club.”

Fred revealed that Adam Pascoe has been the main driver in performing most of the hard-work to get the new Warren side up and going; and thinks the Reserves side will be good for the morale of Warren’s return to rugby league in 2025.

“There will be some fun, and some sore people on Mondays,” he said. “It will be good for the town,” Fred concluded.

(centres) also had good games. Boyd had to watch-on as he hopes to make a return to play soon after a recent head knock. The coach said while he had itchy feet watching from the sideline, it was also good to view the action from the sideline.

“I’d much rather be playing, but it’s good to have a look from a different perspective,” Boyd said. “I could certainly pick up some factors I wouldn’t be able too if I was on the field.”

Boyd said he appreciated the work of the Bulldogs committee and also the Warren community for its support.

Warren’s Ladies League Tag side also lost to third-placed Dunedoo 38-12.

With the Men’s Reserve Grade competition kicking-off with Fred Langby appointed as Warren coach, all three Bulldogs sides will be in action this weekend against Baradine at Baradine.

IN another heartening loss, Warren Bulldogs have continued their recent run of close matches in the Castlereagh League, going down 40-30 to Dunedoo at Victoria Oval on Saturday.

Warren has only just lost its past two men’s First Grade matches after a 26-all draw against Coonamble on May 31, also scoring 30 points in the 36-30 defeat to Gulgong in Round Seven.

Bulldog’s Captain-Coach, Braith Boyd, was again happy with his side’s effort.

“It was another good game,” he said.

“We started off a bit scratchy and looked good in the second half, but just couldn’t hold on.

We’re improving as we go; the effort of the team is always there, every week, I’m happy with the boys.”

TABLE-TOPPING Coolah Kangaroos and the second-placed Coonabarabran Unicorns are set to thrash it out on Saturday in a game that should draw one of the biggest crowds in recent times to the Coonabarabran Sportsground.

The ‘Roos are unbeaten thus far in 2025, but they can expect that they will have to work hard to maintain that status against the Unicorns, who have only suffered the one defeat in the opening eight rounds of the competition, that being a two-point loss to the Cobar Roosters at Cobar back in Round Three.

Both teams had strong wins over the weekend with Coolah, retaining the Boronia Cup when they saw off the challenge from the Gulgong Bull Terriers with an emphatic 52-12 victory at Coolah, whilst the Unicorns were too good for the Coonamble Bears, converting a 14-0 half-time lead into a 36-10 win with five of their seven tries being scored by their players numbered one to five, an indication of their willingness to spread the ball wide in attack.

Dunedoo Swans also returned to the winners list when they downed the Warren Bulldogs 40-30 in a high-scoring game played at Warren.

Apart from what should be great clash at Coonabarabran, some other interesting games are on offer throughout the Castlereagh area this Saturday. Not the least of which, will be the match-up at Narromine’s Cale Oval when the thirdplaced Jets host the equal fourth-placed Cobar Roosters.

With the race for a semi-final berth hotting-up, two precious competition points on offer should ensure an entertaining game unfolds.

Similarly, the desire to stay in the semi-final hunt means that the game to be played at Coonamble, between the Bears and the Bull Terriers from Gulgong will also be a willing affair, and whilst not life-threatening to the loser, not getting the competition points will make it just that little harder.

Whilst it will not be a top-of-the-table clash at Baradine this Saturday, in fact it will be a battle of the two teams situated at the opposite end of the ladder, the game between the Magpies and Warren Bulldogs is expected to be hard-fought as both teams go all out to secure their first win for the season.

Round nine also includes commencement of the hugely-popular Reserve Grade competition with games to be played at all venues, plus at the Binnaway’s home ground, The Crater, when the Bombshells host the historic return of the Mendooran Tigers to the playing field, with the Tigers not having played for 40 years!

MIXED Foursomes Championships were played over 36 holes on Sunday, starting out on a rather icy note, but warming into what turned out to be absolutely perfect golfing weather.

THE course was once again in immaculate condition with a good run throughout the day – a true credit to Robert and all the dedicated volunteers who put in so much effort to keep it in top shape.

A terrific field of 20 teams – involving 40 players in total – took to the course in a fantastic turn-out that shows just how strong the game of golf is in Warren for both men and women at the moment.

It was a great day all round, filled with friendly competition, camaraderie, and excellent golf.
