BORN and raised in the Warren Shire, Robyn Taylor is a mother, educator, keen gardener, bookworm, and Warren Pumas fan!

Robyn has been a familiar face at Warren Central School for many years as a student, teacher, and now the Deputy Principal. Here, she works tirelessly to support students academically, socially, and emotionally, to reach their full potential.

A selfless mentor with a passion for rural education, we celebrate Robyn’s contributions as this month’s Woman of Warren Shire.

Quickfire questions…

A usual morning looks like…

A quiet cup of tea… then work-face on!

When school starts, it’s busy – typically organising class covers, meetings, responding to student needs, and supporting staff. There is always something happening that makes every day worthwhile and gives me a sense of achievement.

WARREN STAR Local News for the Warren Shire Wednesday, August 30, 2023

Women of the Warren Shire – Robyn Taylor From page 1 I’m most proud of…

The life and family I have created. My four children all fill me with pride. They are my biggest supporters, as I am theirs.

I’m also extremely proud of the successes we have at school, where every student is known, valued, and cared for.

We celebrate these successes, big and small.

On the weekend you can find me…

Looking for a quiet space, enjoying coffee and catching-up on the events of the week with my children.

I am a keen gardener and bookworm, and I also enjoy watching the Warren Pumas (rugby team) play, despite still not knowing all the rules!

A quote or piece of advice you live by…

“If you want something done, ask a busy person!” and “Everyone is responsible: the standard you walk past, is the standard you accept.”

My Mum also taught me that fresh flowers will make a room appear clean, and to never leave the house without your lipstick.

How long have you lived in Warren Shire?

I was born in Warren, so I am a real local!

What is your favourite place in Warren Shire?

My home in Dubbo Street is my sanctuary but a visit to “Haddon Rig” always feels like home.

The library also is a favourite space — the staff always know when school holidays are about to start!

Some more about you…

What do you love most about Warren Shire?

The community, who rallies both in times of distress or disaster and in celebration.

The generosity always amazes me and, often, that support is from unknown sources.

Can you tell us a bit about your journey, including some of your most significant

Born and raised in the Warren Shire, Robyn Taylor is a mother, educator, keen gardener, bookworm, and Warren Pumas fan, and she features in this month’s Women of the Warren Shire. PHOTO: SUPPLIED. achievements?

I attended both St Mary’s Parish School and Warren Central School (WCS). I was fortunate to receive a full scholarship for university and graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Agriculture) and a Graduate Diploma in Education.

Most of my teaching career has been at WCS, but I have taught in other rural centres and also for a short time in Western Australia.

At WCS I was permanently appointed as a Maths teacher but have taught predominantly in the Agriculture/Science area and have been the Careers Advisor and Head Teacher Secondary Studies.

With strong support and encouragement, I applied for the Deputy Principal (DP) position which I have held for the past three years. The DP po-

sition allows me to work with Kindergarten through to Year 12, and I thoroughly enjoy the interactions I have every day with both staff and students.

I am proud of the team I lead and the work we do developing the whole student in the academic, social, and emotional domains.

Having been both a student and teacher at Warren Central School, what is it about the country school experience that’s so special?

The unique and special environment for both students and teachers, especially the sense of community where students and teachers develop strong relationships and support networks.

Learning is personalised with smaller classes and individualised attention, which can lead to a deeper understanding of each student’s

strengths and learning styles.

I have very fond memories of my days as a student at WCS and still have contact with some of those teachers. They were a huge influence on the career pathway I chose and have had a lasting impact on both my personal and professional development.

I love seeing my students outside of the classroom setting and in the community at their workplaces or weekend sports. These are invaluable opportunities to build rapport and positive relationships which are transferred to the school setting.

You’re now fondly known by students and their parents as the Deputy Principal at Warren Central School. What do you enjoy most about this role?

The sense of belonging and the daily interactions with students, parents and

staff to create a positive learning environment.

The opportunity to support and guide students on their educational journeys while working collaboratively with teachers and parents to enhance the overall school experience is especially rewarding.

The DP role allows me to indulge in a variety of tasks every day and to connect with students from K-12 with very different demands. All my decision-making is student-centred.

It is a rewarding job, and it is hard work, but I thoroughly enjoy it!

What advice would you give to other women living in rural communities?

Pursue education, embrace leadership, advocate for resources, balance responsibilities with self-care, cultivate resilience, support each other, and celebrate achievements.

FAITH MATTERS

Spring is coming! Rejoice, better days are ahead…

By ANNITA CAMPBELL I HAVE just moved to this lovely town from the city; I’m really enjoying those trees that line the main street with their incredible blossoms.

They seem to shout: “spring is coming soon!”; there is expectant hope,

when things blossom.

It never fails to amaze me, what ordinary everyday things the Bible writes about. In the Old Testament, a bloke named Isaiah, wrote poetry about good days that were coming. He said: “The desert and the parched land

will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.”

I love the way he uses imagery to personify the desert. Places that were barren, are doing a happy dance,

because they are now blooming and blossoming.

The poet doesn’t leave us in any doubt about why they are happy. He goes on to say: “they will see the glory of the LORD, the splendour of our God.” As trees blossom here, be

reminded of the Maker of these trees. The blossoms tell a story about His glory; lots of things do.

Jesus was the ultimate showcase of His glory. This is the reason to do a “happy dance”, like the desert in Isaiah’s poem.

Report all rural crimes; new campaign urges

Cooperation and information are the key to getting on top of rural crime: NSW Crime Stoppers CEO, Peter Price, with State Rural Crime Coordinator, Detective Chief Inspector Cameron Whiteside, at AgQuip last week launching a new campaign to increase reporting of rural crimes. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

By HARRIET GILMORE RURAL crime continues to be a major problem in the region and also around the State, with recent statistics showing that more than four-fi fths (81 percent) of farmers, have experienced crimes including stock and fuel theft, trespassing, and illegal hunting.

In an attempt to both solve and prevent rural crimes, Crime Stoppers NSW, the NSW Police Force, and the Rural Crimes Prevention Team, announced a new campaign at AgQuip in Gunnedah last week, calling for an increase in rural crime reporting.

According to Crime Stoppers NSW, the impact of rural crimes is significantly-high, causing financial, physical, and psychological devastation to farmers, which also has a flow-on effect to the wider community and the Australian economy.

However, the reporting of these crimes continues to be extremely-low, due to concerns around what can be done, the likelihood of retrieving missing items, and fears about retaliation, as it may be someone known personally to the victim.

Crime Stoppers NSW CEO, Peter Price said, however, that we can’t build community resilience and infrastructure, if we are in the dark about farm crime.

“Being a victim of crime and reporting the crime, matters,” Mr Price said.

“If police don’t know about the crime, they can’t do anything,” he added.

Cooperation and information, he believes, are the key to making headway with this intractable problem.

“The more information reported, the better equipped the police are to act to prevent or solve a crime”, he said.

“If we all work together, the

result will be a better, more prosperous future, and safer and healthier communities.”

Under-reporting of rural crime is always a significant barrier to targeting offenders.

During 2021 and 2022, police recorded a decrease in the number of stock theft, malicious damage, and trespass offences on rural properties within NSW. However, during this period, police recorded a 96 percent increase in the number of reported fuel theft incidents.

Rural industries have told police that fuel theft was a major issue, however previously the incidents were not being reported to police. With the increased reporting of this crime, it will provide police with information to develop strategies to target specific locations and identify suspects.

The State Rural Crime Coordinator of the NSWPF Rural Crime Prevention Team, Detective Chief Inspector Cameron Whiteside, said that under-reporting of rural crime continues to be a major problem in helping police prevent and solve crime.

“We need a whole-of-community approach to reduce and solve crime in regional areas, and there are some measures that individuals can do to help prevent crime from happening to them,” Det Chief Insp Whiteside said.

Farmers are urged to accurately record livestock identification, remove keys from machinery, keep photos of valuable stock to assist with identifying them, and install quality locking devices on your gates, sheds, and equipment.

“If you see or hear of anything you believe to be suspicious, such as a vehicle in an area it’s not meant to be, or stock being moved late at night; we urge you to call Crime Stoppers or your local police,” he concluded.

Police on the hunt for local man on conviction warrants Orana Mid-Western Police are seeking information from the public to help locate 32-year- old local man, Andrew Greenaway, who is wanted on a number of conviction warrants.

Police have so-far been unsuccessful in locating Greenaway, and so are now seeking assistance from the community.

If anyone has information on his whereabouts, contact Warren Police on 6870 2380 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

President and event coordinator, Val Clark, believes that the annual celebration, brings great benefit to rural and regional writers.

“We connect local writers with publishers, editors, and others well-versed in the field of publishing, giving them opportunities to have a conversation with (industry professionals) and get comment on their work,” Ms Clark said.

“The festival also helps writers build skills in different ways, and to connect with other writers and build relationships,” she added.

The Festival’s Author Showcase provides an opportunity for rural and regional published authors to have a table at the official event launch to display and sell their books.

Almost 20 authors participated in the inaugural Dub-

bo Writers’ Festival Author Showcase last year.

The Author Showcase is part of the festival launch next month at the Macquarie Regional Library in Dubbo, where Candice Fox will also be interviewed.

Ms Fox will also deliver two writing workshops during the festival, provide professional story consultations, and participate in a submission-readiness panel, along with industry professionals, Linda Nix from Lacuna Publishing, and Rochelle Fernandez from the Alex Adsett Literary Agency.

“The Dubbo Writers’ Festival has become the festival by-writers, for-writers,” Ms Clark said. “We have tried really strongly to keep that emphasis,” she concluded.

WARREN STAR Local News for the Warren Shire Wednesday, August 30, 2023

Dubbo “Sewcialites”, join Warren and Spinners Yarners, for homestay support TWO of the district’s best crafting groups, recently got-together to help-out for a great cause.

The collaboration involved three members of Kintyre Living Macquarie “Sewcialites” quilting group, being warmly welcomed to Warren’s “Spinners and Yarners” group at the beautiful WOW Centre last Thursday.

Quilters Julie McLane and Sue Bailey both spoke to the group about the raffle that is being run throughout the Central West, in support of Macquarie Homestay Accommodation in Dubbo.

This followed a chat with Macquarie Homestay Manager, Rod Crowfoot, in which members of the Macquarie Sewcialites, decided to make a quilt to be raffled in order to raise funds for the service, with the Spinners and Yarners supportive of the raffle.

The aim of the fund-raising is to enable the facility to offer more inexpensive accommodation to those who are supporting loved ones during hospital visits.

In western NSW, this often involves travelling long distances for families who are unable to be close to their loved ones under treatment in Dubbo.

This problem has been exacerbated by motel rooms in Dubbo being at a premium at the moment due to the current influx of bridge-builders, train-shed construction crews, and road maintenance labourers.

With hospital treatment often of an indeterminate length, visits can also be a significant expense for those who are required to stay for a long period of time.

The hopes are that, very soon, accommodation will increase as new buildings start this year to accommodate those requiring Oncology (cancer) treatment in Dubbo.

Drier, hotter conditions increases bushfire danger; as blaze bans period starts early

Red alert for Spring 2023! Large parts of the country will have an increased bushfire risk this Spring, due to high fuel loads, and hotter, dryer conditions, according to the National Council for Fire and Emergency Services. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

By HARRIET GILMORE IT was this time last year that floods threatened many of our inland towns, with the added vegetation growth, now making bushfi res the major concern for spring, 2023.

This follows the National Council for Fire and Emergency Services (AFAC) recently releasing their annual Seasonal Bushfi re Outlook, that shows large parts of the country, including Warren, predicted to experience an increased risk of bushfi res this Spring and into Summer.

The forecast shows most of inland NSW, the Northern Territory and Queensland, and regions of Victoria and South Australia, as having been identified for increased bushfire risks,

due to higher-levels of vegetation and predicted hotter and drier conditions.

According to the AFAC, Australia’s climate influences have shifted significantly since last year, following higher rainfall during the La Niña (wet weather ) cycle with the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) now predicting hotter and dryer seasons for much of the country.

Last year’s f lood events and recent rainfall, also means that many regions have experienced increased vegetation growth; the perfect fuel for bushfires.

AFAC CEO, Rob Webb, said that the signs this year, are worrying.

“The climate influences driving increased risk of bushfi re this season are wide-

spread,” he said.

“Almost the entire country can expect drier and warmer conditions than normal this Spring so, it is important for Australians to be alert to local risks of bushfi re over the coming months, regardless of their location,” he added.

Bushfi res are a normal part of the warmer months in our country, he explained.

“Fire is a regular part of the Australian landscape in Spring; wherever you live, work or travel, now is the time to plan and prepare,” he said.

“Understand your risk, know where you will get your information, and talk to your family about what you will do,” Mr Webb added.

In Warren and much of central and northern NSW, the AFAC is warning dri-

er-than-average conditions and frost-curing, could mean an early start to the bushfi re danger period.

In the event of fi res and windy weather, high grass fuel-loads in the region can support intense and fast spreading grass fi res, he said.

The Rural Fire Service (RFS) have also announced this week they will be bringing-forward the Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) to this Friday, September 1 for Warren and also for a total of 38 local government areas across NSW. This means that landholders will now be required to get permits and notify neighbours and the RFS at least 24 hours prior to any controlled burning from the first day of Spring.

RFS Inspector, David Nicholson said that, although the bushfi re danger period usually commences on about October 1, it is not uncommon for some areas to begin on September 1.

“This year is different for the North West Zone, as the danger period is commencing a month earlier than normal,” Insp Nicholson said.

“During the Bush Fire Danger Period, landowners and land managers, are required to obtain a Fire Permit from their local RFS before lighting any fi res, including hazard reduction burns,” he added.

There are also other just-as-important precautions that landowner should take, he explained.

“Before you light a fi re, it’s critical that you check weather conditions are safe for burning, and that you have the necessary precautions and equipment in place.

“Never leave a fi re unattended and, if a fi re does escape, it is essential to call Triple Zero (000) immediately so that emergency services can respond and minimise the damage; with the Fire Danger Period commencing, Fire Permit holders are (also) required to let fi re authorities and their neighbours know at least 24 hours before lighting-up.”

Insp Nicholson said that as fuel loads remain high, particularly across the NorthWest, it is important that land managers and residents are prepared, and remember that bush and grassfi res can start any time.

“While our fi refighters are doing what they can, preparation is a shared responsibility, and home and land-owners need to prepare their properties too,” he said.

“This means doing simple things like creating fi rebreaks on your property, cleaning your gutters, removing combustibles from your yard, ensuring hoses can reach all corners of your property and updating and discussing your bush fi re survival plan, so you know what you will do if fi re threatens,” Insp Nicholson concluded.

Political News & Opinion COULTON’S ULTON’S CATCH TCH UP Comment ment by K COULTON, MARK Federal ral Member for Parkes arkes

50 years of AgQuip I WAS at the very first AgQuip when it began, so it was quite surreal to be in Gunnedah for the 50th anniversary of this amazing event, which has grown enormously over the years.

This is a huge exhibition of farm equipment, heavy machinery, new products, and services, designed to highlight new technology and ideas.

It was great to meet some constituents while manning the all-important barbeque with my state colleague, NSW member for Tamworth, Kevin Anderson MP. While we’re on different sides of parliament, it was also good to welcome visiting colleagues from the Labor Party too to show them the innovation coming out of this part of the country.

Sistas in Trade I VISITED Sistas in Trade

last week at Western College Dubbo who have been busy gaining accreditations to go into what are typically male-dominated occupations.

I was able to introduce myself and my role as their federal member of parliament, and we discussed what they’ve recently been learning and their goals for the future.

It’s great to see more women breaking down the barriers and learning a trade - I wish them all the best!

70 years of Meals on Wheels IN parliament recently I was able to record a short video with my colleague Steve Georganas MP acknowledging 70 years of the work of Meals on Wheels in Australia.

This organisation has coordinated the delivery of thousands of nutritious meals, wellness checks and support to so many people over this time and does fabulous work not just in the Parkes electorate, but nationally.

I am a Co-Chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Meals on Wheels with Steve Georganas MP and have been a long-time supporter of the work this organisation does, as I know it makes a huge difference for people in so many

Volunteers are the backbone of this country and with Meals on Wheels it’s more than a meal, so well done to everyone.

In Dubbo last week I took the opportunity to drop in to the prestigious National Merino Sheep Show and Ram Sale, which is a huge event showcasing some of the best in the industry.

National Merino Sheep Show and Ram Sale

Many schools from across the Parkes electorate and much further afield had

brought their best whethers in to compete, including students from Cobar and Warialda High Schools.

It’s fantastic to see students having the chance to compete in big national events such as this, and to see this calibre of event being held in the Parkes electorate.

By HARRIET GILMORE IT’S the Circle of Life; St Mary’s Parish School Warren’s, recent production of Disney’s The Lion King Junior, was a roaring success, Crowds of more than 800 parents, friends, and other community members, packed the Warren Sporting and Cultural Complex for both the Thursday matinee and Friday evening performances of the spectacular show.

The students wowed the crowds with stirring renditions of a number of the Disney Lion King classics, including Hakuna Matata, Circle of Life, and Can You Feel The Love Tonight?, as well as a few new songs created especially for school performances.

Directed by the ever-talented Frances Evans, and sup-

ported by all the staff and parents, the show has been in production for the past six weeks with every student in the school involved in the production one way or another, from performers through to the stage crew.

An Australian Grain Technologies grant also allowed the School to engage the help of a professional choreographer, sound and lighting engineer, and videographer and photographer, to capture the performances.

An accomplished classical musician, Mrs Evans was fulsome in her praise of the musical adventure.

“It has been one of the most fulfi lling teaching experiences of my career,” she enthused.

“All the hard-work paid-off, and every child has grown in their capacity, confidence, and

creativity,” she added.

The contribution, she explained, came from everyone involved.

“I am very proud of the School’s efforts.

“I’d like to thank school Principal Taz Stephens for her support and trust; she letus all dream ‘big’ and, therefore, the School has reached new heights in the performing arts.”

The effort, she added, was justified by the great community support for the venture.

“On behalf of St Mary’s Parish School, I would like to thank the community for coming-out in force to enjoy watching The Lion King Jnr. “Across the two performances, over 800 audience members enjoyed the show!”

The whole-school effort, was also one of its amazing features, she believes.

“Every student in the school was involved and every student’s effort is worthy of celebration!” Mrs Evans said. “ Every member of the staff of St Mary’s contributed in numerous ways’ our aim was to create a magical experience for our students. I believe we certainly did that!” she added.

The sponsorship help, was another key to the production’s success, Mrs Evans enthused.

“A special ‘thank-you’ must be made to Australian Grain Technologies, who assisted the school with a generous community grant.

“With their help, we were able to provide a level of professional sound and lighting not experienced in a school production in Warren before,” she added.

Thanks also went to local groups outside the school com-

munity, who also pitched-in, she explained.

“The school was also grateful for a grant received from the Department of Communities and Justice, auspices by Warren Shire Council.

“Thank you to Wes Hamilton at the Warren Sporting and Cultural Centre, who went above and beyond to help us turn the complex into a theatre!”

Mrs Evans also didn’t forget the behind-the scenes toilers of the production.

“Thank-you to all the parent helpers.

“The designers, creators, builders, chair-lifters, makeup artists, and line-learners!” she concluded.

Mrs Evans said the bar has well and truly been set high, and all the staff and students are already dreaming of what might come next!

Fire and Rescue blitz puts home inferno danger, first

By HARRIET GILMORE ALMOST half the homes in Warren received a visit from Fire and Rescue crews last week, as part of a home fi re safety blitz.

While a major chemical spill in Dubbo on Friday, delayed crews from completing the entire town as planned, don’t worry, they’ll still get to you!

The visits were to offer residents crucial home fi re safety advice and to check for working smoke alarms.

More than 50 new smoke alarms were installed during the two-day blitz, with more visits planned in coming weeks.

A total of 10 Fire and Rescue crew members from Warren, Trangie, Narromine, and Dubbo, also hosted a family fun day on Saturday morning with games, safety demonstrations, and the opportunity to chat with the crews to fi nd-out what they do.

Fire and Rescue Duty Commander, Acting Inspector Chris Cusack, said the group were disappointed to not get to every local house, as planned, but they were pleased with the results so far.

“We managed to get a number of smoke alarms installed which, for us, is a real positive,” Acting Inspect Cusack said.

“Smoke alarms are the people’s best defence in a fi re, especially at night,” he added.

He explained that, one of the most common types of home fires that Fire and Rescue are called to attend, are kitchen fires, starting usually as a result of unattended cooking.

“These fi res are very preventa-

ble and can easily be stopped by not leaving cooking unattended.

“So, ‘keep looking when you’re cooking’,” he quipped.

He added that, the second-most common type of house fi re, is from electrical devices.

“Again, these are very easily-managed by turning your non-essential appliances off at the power-point.

“If you do those two things, you’re basically doing everything you can possibly do to prevent a fi re in your home,”Acting Inspect Cusack said.

Fire and Rescue are also hoping to attract new recruits for Warren through their safety blitz, with Acting Inspect Cusack calling the job “very rewarding and fulfi lling”.

Based in Dubbo, Acting Inspect Cusack was originally from Warren, and started his Fire and Rescue career here after joining in 1987 after encouragement from his father, who was the Warren Captain, and his uncle, who was Deputy Captain.

“On a personal level it’s very rewarding and very fulfi lling.

“It gives people a purpose in life and also it gives you an opportunity to give back to your community.”

He said that, particularly rural communities, require committed locals to step forward.

“Ultimately, Fire and Rescue needs dedicated people in small towns like Warren to assist us in providing that valuable service of responding to emergencies,” he said.

“But to also do what we are here doing today; making people aware of Fire and Rescue crews from Warren, Trangie, Narromine, and Dubbo, were in town on how to be fire safe in their homes,” Friday and Saturday, door-knocking homes and conducting free fire safety checks as well Acting Inspect Cusack concluded. as hosting a family fun day.

Communications upgrade combats emergency services’ “black-spots”

By ANDREW TARRY FIRE and Rescue NSW and NSW State Emergency Services (SES) vehicles recently received a significant boost in technology designed to overcome dangerous black-spots during emergencies.

More than 1300 vehicles have had mobile Wi-Fi equipment installed which enables them to access 4G or satellite communication during incident responses, NSW Emergency Services Minister, Jihad Dib said.

“Communications blackspots have long been a challenge for fi rst response agencies and can seriously hamper efforts to respond in emergencies and disasters,” he said.

“Since March, more than 400 SES vehicles have installed these new systems, and we have now completed the fit-out to more than 900 Fire and Rescue NSW vehicles,” he added.

Although the new technology won’t result in the perma-

nent removal of communication black-spots, he said that it will help fi rst responders immensely when trying to communicate to other teams and services.

Large events like bushfi res are capable of quickly destroying communication infrastructure making it hard to coordinate resources and personal to manage the incident, especially if the blaze stretches over a long distance.

Upgrading these vehicles to enable communication through satellite ensures that communication will still be possible if the land based 4G or radio connectivity is unavailable. The importance of this development was highlighted by NSW Premier, who said that he had visited many communities impacted by natural disasters over the past few months and knows that the Government must be doing everything they can to improve the emergency response of NSW emergency services.

“Whether it’s telling people to evacuate, getting latest advice and emergency communications through to communities who may be cut off — this new equipment is crucial to that work,” Mr Minns said.

“These new systems are an important step forward in adapting our response to disasters and emergencies and supporting our combat agencies to provide help faster, where and when it’s needed,” he added.

The technology is described as cutting-edge and highly-resilient, and will enable fi refighters and NSW SES, members to continue using radios, mobile phones, and other handheld devices, anywhere at any time.

The means the vehicles act as a “node” and will enhance connectivity and voice clarity, “leading to greater interoperability with other emergency services and improved situational awareness during operations.”

A feature of the new technology will also allow for mobile phone and live video streaming connectivity for fi rst responders. The video streaming aspect enables emergency services to share live footage from the incident heightening situational awareness for ground crews.

The increased capability for Fire and Rescue, SES vehicles and personnel is seen as an important upgrade to the capacity for those services given the substantial damage the communications network suffered during the black summer fi res a few years ago. Communities across NSW especially those in remote or rural areas which already contend with communication blackspots will benefit from having the new technology in potential crises, the Government said..

The implementation of the new technology has been 12 months in the making with the Government coordinating with Fire and Rescue NSW

and NSW SES. Deputy Commissioner for Fire and Rescue NSW, Megan Stiffler was keen to promote the advancement in vehicle capability, pointing out that the latest technology allows the closest fi retruck to an incident to be deployed.

NSW SES Commissioner, Carlene York also spoke positively about the installation on the vehicles arguing that the benefit of switching to satellite connectivity when mobile broadband connection or the public safety network has an outage will: “keep members in communication with each other and with the State Operations Centre,” she said.

The technology is now standard for any new vehicles acquired by Fire and Rescue NSW and NSW SES across the state ensuring that wherever there is a disaster, connectivity and communication will remain.

Basin plan deal sparks debate on best way forward

By ANDREW TARRY THE Murray Darling Basin Plan (MDBP) took another turn into complexity this week with the federal government brokering a new deal with state representatives on the delivery of the $13 billion plan.

The new agreement, which will re-write aspects of the old agreement, allows the resumption of widespread water buybacks and an extension to the deadline major infrastructure projects were facing.

In July 2023 the federal minister for water Tanya Plibersek sought advice from the chair of the Murray Darling Basin Authority on the progress of the plan and the likelihood it would reach its targets. At the time, the authority informed the federal government that the plan would not reach its environmental allocation and that a substantial number of the infrastructure projects are not on schedule for completion by their target date.

The agreement has come about from the recent meeting between the federal minister for water Ms Plibersek and her state counterparts and through it the NSW, ACT, QLD, and federal governments now attempt to: f Allow Commonwealth buybacks of irrigation licences to return 450 gigalitres (GL) of water to the environment. f Extend the deadline for recovering the 450GL target from June 2024 to December 2027. f Grant an 18-month extension to state-run water-saving projects from June 2024 to December 2026. f Allow for new water-saving projects to be established and completed by December 2026.

One of the controversies around this agreement was the federal government’s decision to override and exclude the Victorian government.

The Victorian Labor Party has said that it doesn’t agree with water buyback schemes and therefore won’t support this plan.

This view is seemingly shared by the NSW Labor gov-

ernment with the NSW minister for water Rose Jackson saying “to be clear, the NSW government does not support water buybacks. Our position on this has not changed.

We want to see the Australian government prioritise investment in recovering water through other ways. We have been proactive in scoping these options and putting them in front of the Commonwealth for consideration. We will not take a backwards step in advocating for the interests of NSW communities.”

However, by agreeing to the demands of the federal government it seems they have compromised on that view in order to achieve more time to deliver the water-saving projects.

The news of the NSW state government’s decision to participate in the new agreement was welcomed by the Nature Conservation Council of NSW water campaigner Mel Gray.

“We are encouraged that water minister Rose Jackson has taken a step forward by not blocking the federal government from taking the minimum steps needed to keep the basin alive,” she said. The representative of the organisation also targeted the previous Liberal National government and accused them of engaging in “engineering solutions that were never going to work”.

There have been serious problems delivering the amount of water agreed to by governments and needed for communities, producers, and the environment. Since the MDBP was legislated in 2012 there has been water allocated each year to its environmental water savings target.

However, the plan has been off target for a long time with the Productivity Commission back in 2019 warning that the plan would not be delivered on time or within its budget. As it stands the plan will fall short 750GL of its target by the June 2024 deadline.

With water security becoming an increasingly vital resource, the need for action has been clear for some time

as recent revelations on the plans progress have come to light. With the possibility of drought occurring in most of NSW appears to be intensifying, the importance to address the issues have become more apparent. The agreement has received criticism from prominent state and federal National Party leaders, Dugald Saunders and David Littleproud.

Both MPs accept the extension of time to deliver the plan as a necessary step but argue that the buybacks should not be utilised as they will put communities under pressure.

“Buybacks reduce the amount of water available for our farmers, which will put our basin communities in an extremely dangerous position,” said Mr Saunders. The NSW National party leader also said that it is concerning Victoria has not signed up to the new agreement, a move which Mr Littleproud has praised, arguing that the Victorian government has “stood tall” against the federal government.

Mr Littleproud has also shared concerns with the move to use buybacks as a solution to procure the water necessary to achieve the 450GL environment allocation. In the 11 years since the commitment to restore 450GL into the environment was made, less than 30GL has been provided. The cost to buyback the remaining quantity of water will be substantial according to a statutory review provided by the Water for the Environment Special Account. This sentiment was picked up on by Mr Littleproud as he shared his concerns, stating that it will be in the “tens of billions of dollars to buy 450 gigalitres.”

Mr Littleproud continued his attack on the agreement criticising NSW premier Chris Minns calling him a “charlatan” for saying that NSW won’t do buybacks before changing and agreeing to the federal government’s conditions. The federal leader of the National party also criti-

cised Ms Plibersek for tearing up “Labor’s own water policy” by backtracking on the safeguard mechanism of the social and economic neutrality test which would ensure buybacks weren’t possible.

The agreement has also received the scrutiny of conservation groups from NSW, South Australia and QLD. “Our inland rivers have already suffered through years of delays and look at the result – the Darling-Baaka running dry, millions of dead fish, and toxic blackwater events because small and medium floods haven’t been able to flush out the landscape. While the Commonwealth deserves credit for fi nding a path forward, this isn’t a new deal – it’s delivering the existing Basin Plan with an extended timeframe,” said Char Nitschke, Conservation SA campaign co-ordinator. This sentiment was shared by Nature Conservation Council NSW who argued that the state has had enough of fish kills, while wetlands are still recovering from devastating drought.

On the issue of the Victorian government being omitted from the agreement the minister for water Harriet Shing said, “Victoria has a long-standing opposition to buybacks, and nothing we have seen in this deal has changed that position.” Ms Shing also said that the Victorian government will continue to work with the federal government to develop infrastructure projects to meet water saving targets and achieve environmental benefits.

This position has been described as “Barnaby Joyce style policies” by Environment Victoria CEO Jono La Nuaze, who also argued that that buying back water is the most cost-effective and feasible solution. Mr La Nauze continued by stating that a recent report by the organisation has shown how successive Victorian governments “have undermined the national plan to restore the Murray-Darling to health,” he said. Environment Victoria

have also raised concerns that Victorian state will miss out on the benefits from being part of the new agreement.

Victoria appears to be divided on the issue with the chair of the Victorian Farmers Federation Water Council Andrew Leahy supporting the government’s stance in contrast to Mr La Nauze. Mr Leahy has said that Victoria was being “held to blackmail” by the federal government.

“The Victorian government and the communities have stood fast. We don’t want buybacks. We would rather see projects completed to get that water. I am happy the Victorian government didn’t sign onto the deal. I’ve got no reason to believe they won’t stand by what they’ve said for the last 12 years,” he said.

It is difficult to see how the federal government will pass legislation to legalise and implement the new agreement of the MDBP. To pass the proposed reforms the federal government will need either the Greens or coalition support.

It seems the road forward remains a complex one.

The federal Greens party representative senator Sarah Hanson-Young has commented that the Greens would study the plan before deciding if they could back it. “We need to make sure that this parliament gets a guarantee that things will change that water will be delivered,” she said.

Significant pressure remains on the federal minister for water. Ms Plibersek described the agreement as an important moment for basin communities and any Australian who cared about the environment.

“The Murray-Darling pumps life into the heartland of our country,” she said. Adding, “if we don’t act now to preserve it, our basin towns will be unprepared for drought, our native animals will face the threat of extinction, our river ecosystems will risk environmental collapse, and our food and fibre production will be insecure and unsustainable.”

Fire danger signs to be upgraded as fire season comes early for central west and western NSW

By ANDREW TARRY THE NSW state government are overhauling the old fi re danger rating signs on roadsides across the state. Regions in central west and western NSW have started their fi re season preparation early as the current dry spell continues while fuel and vegetation levels remain high. The state government is working to replace the old fi re danger rating signs to ensure that communities in regional and remote areas have daily up-to-date information on the fi re risk severity in their area.

As part of the announcement of the new technology,

the NSW premier Chris Minns said “we are bracing for a potentially dangerous bushfi re season with a return to hot and dry conditions. There is also significant vegetation growth after three years of wet weather. The Rural Fire Service (RFS) have been working to ensure we are prepared.

These new digital signs are another tool to help warn communities about the risk.”

The implementation of new technologies aiming to assist the RFS and communities during bush fi res has become an increasing occurrence. Since the 2019 Black Summer fi res, the importance of fi re danger preparedness

is even more essential. The adoption of new technologies is welcomed by the RFS as an important measure to preventing mass damage and potential catastrophic events.

“Wet weather over the last three years has caused prolific growth, and as we move out of this incredibly wet period the bush fi re risk is returning to NSW. The new fi re danger rating system introduced last season is the biggest change to fi re danger rating science in more than 60 years. The way fi re danger ratings are communicated has been improved and simplified, to make it easier for our communities to make decisions to

stay safe on days of fi re danger risk,” said RFS commissioner Rob Rogers.

The new signs will be digital and are powered by solar panels. They are automatically updated each day in line with fire danger ratings on the RFS website. The ratings are informed by data provided by the Bureau of Meteorology. The new signs are step forward in providing information critical to residents travelling and living in regional areas where fire danger might be present.

Since the new signs will not be required to be manually changed by the RFS, as the old signs are, their rating

can be changed in response to the change in conditions and circumstances.

It also allows the RFS volunteers to focus on other tasks other than commuting to each sign and adjusting the rating.

The new rating signs will continue with the revised Australian Fire Danger Rating System, which includes four categories for fi re danger: Moderate (green), High (yellow), Extreme (orange) and Catastrophic (red).

On days when there is minimal risk, ‘no rating’ is used.

Warren council members attend western division annual meeting

By ANDREW TARRY THE mayor, deputy mayor and general manager of Warren Shire Council recently attended the Western Division Councils of NSW Annual General Meeting and Conference, held in Cobar. Although not a member of the Western Division of Councils, the Warren council regularly receives an invitation to the meeting as a neighbouring council.

According to the report provided to the council, the main purpose for attendance of the conference “is the ability to

positively network with NSW state government ministers, opposition spokespersons, government department and agency senior staff and ministerial advisors and local members.”

The conference was well attended in this regard with the minister for local government, shadow minister for regional transport and roads, state member for Barwon, and chief executive of the Western NSW Health District among many more delegates and ministers.

Warren council representatives were able to meet with the minister for local govern-

ment, Ron Hoenig, and discussed matters regarding insurance problems being experienced with the Warren and Warren shire community, emergency levee operations cost funding for the November 2021 and June – December 2022 Floods, the Emergency Services Levy, roads funding for the future, replacement of the Orana Joint Organisation by the Alliance Western Councils, Fixing Country Roads Round Six, accounting for the Rural Fire Services’ ‘Red Fleet’, and other Warren Shire Council operational matters.

The council members were also able to discuss other matters with ministers at the conference with funding of the Warren Roundabout reconstruction, improvement of rural and remote area health services and general practitioner improvement, visa application and employment, and the use of solar energy and power to reduce operational costs of council facilities.

The conference was described as “worthwhile” at the August Warren council meeting by general manager Gary Woodman and with the

next mid-term conference set to invite even more ministers both commonwealth and state, the possibility of engaging with senior members of government is a productive undertaking.

The general manger concluded that the conference was an interesting event and a valuable few days for the Warren councillors to promote and discuss issues within the Warren shire.

Final’s fever hits town for Pumas’ big match

By HARRIET GILMORE IT’S the match-up that footy fans have been waiting all year for; Warren Pumas Rugby Club will host Walgett at the Western Plains Grand Final this Saturday, with the Men’s First Grade team ready for the showdown.

The Pumas’ sensational win against reigning premiers Walgett last Saturday, secured the home grand fi nal, and the players are raring to go and confident that they can finish the season off with a win in the big game.

The Pumas haven’t lifted the Western Plains Championship shield since 2018, when they defeated Coonamble, despite several fi nals berths over the the past few years.

Warren Rugby President, Tom Noonan, said that the players, coaches, and support staff, has been training hard since early February for this Saturday.

“As long as they play their best, I’m confident they can pull it off,” Mr Noonan said.

“It would be great to see everyone down at Victoria Oval on Saturday, cheering on our boys,” he added.

The event will be a wonder-

main event, the Warren Pumas versus Walgett Rams at 3.15pm.

Western Plains President Tom Cullen said he was excited for a massive day of rugby in Warren this Saturday.

“Very much looking forward to heading to Warren this Saturday for the grand fi nal. It should be a cracking day of rugby, especially the fi rst grade derby. Well done to Warren for their season and the win against Walgett last weekend to secure the home grand fi nal. It’s well deserved for those boys. They have really played second fiddle to Walgett these last three years and it should be a fantastic game to watch.

“But it won’t just be fi rst grade showcasing all the entertainment. Second grade should be a cracker too – the old guard of Coonamble, with some blokes from 2009/2010 pulling on the boots versus the youth of Walgett. Well worth a look!

“And in the ladies, the Walgett Ewes have dominated this year but the Flamin’s Gulars have been the best of the rest, so it will be a very competitive game,” said Mr Cullen.

Sport Warren ladies win big; at the Narromine Open

Winner from the Kay Bennett Trophy Day, Amanda Thomas, with sponsor Kay Bennett, and runner-up, Trish McAlary.

TEN local ladies last Wednesday travelled over to Narromine to play in the local Open tournament.

Although it was a very cold and overcast morning for the 8.30 registration; that didn’t deter the players with a total of 45 signing-up for this prestigious event . By tee-off at 9.30, the weather had not improved, and everyone was pretty hesitant to front the elements on the course.

However, the weather did eventually brighten into very pleasant playing conditions.

After a wonderful morning’s play and a very-delicious lunch catered for by the lady golfers, the presentations be-

gan. In this, Warren was very fortunate to have five different prize recipients. On a score of nett 67, Val Soulsby was winner of the Sybil Perry Division One Handicap; with Bec McKay, on a nett score of 67, was the Associates Cup Division Two winner.

In this grade, Chris Trudgett, with a nett score of 71, was the runner-up, while Judy Ridley was the A-Grade Stableford winner, and Heather Druce was the nearest-to-the-pin, Second division winner.

Congratulations go to the ladies and a big ‘thank-you’ to Narromine for your hospitality.

Back at home, five players

took to the Warren course for an 18-Hole Stableford with the numbers down due to the Narromine Open. However, everyone that played, had a great day and produced some fantastic scores.

Jan Barclay won the day with 30 points (on a countback) from Robyn Downey, who also won the nearest-thepin on the 18th.

In other events, last Saturday, the Kay Bennett Trophy Day was held; an 18-Hole Stableford event with 14 players supporting Kay on a glorious, (some would say), hot, day.

I just don’t know what’s going-on with these new players and their scores!

Amanda Thomas blitzed the field with an amazing 45 Stableford points; incredible!

Trish McAlary came-in second (on a count-back) from Deb Kentwell, both on 40. Well done Amanda, Trish, and Deb. I also believe the handicapper was hot on Amanda’s heels and had great joy in deducting a whopping nine points.

Golf Balls also went to Amanda, Trish, Deb, Kay Bennett, and Kerry Duncan.

NTP (nearest-the-pin) winners were, on the fourth, Trish McAlary; on the 13th, Lyn Rawlinson; on the 16th, Amanda Thomas; on the 18th, Daphne Calvert; with the Raffle winner, Deb Kentwell.

“Thank-you” also to Kay for her wonderful prizes and continued sponsorship.

Upcoming events include, on Wednesday, August 30: the Lorraine Falkiner-Smith Trophy Day; an 18-Hole Stableford and, on Saturday, September2, the Barb Laws and Sandy Moore Trophy Day, and 18-Hole Stroke event as well as the September medal and third round of the Handicap Cup. Defi nition: “Golfer: a weapon of grass destruction.”

RACING NG ORT REPORT

By COLIN HODGES GILGANDRA-TRAINED Ecker Road, winner of the Gulargambone Cup on Saturday, August 26, has been an underrated galloper for much of the career.

Although the winner of nine races, many of the better performances have been when placed in high grade events including fourth of 16 to Aesop’s Fables in the $100,000 Dubbo Gold Cup, fourth to Spiranac in the $80,000 Panorama at Bathurst and second when beaten in the last stride

by Safado in the recent Cannonball at Coonamble.

Other notable placings over recent years include seconds

Ecker Road wins Inland Petroleum - Bill Lambell Memorial Gulargambone Cup in the cups at Gilgandra, Gulgong, Lightning Ridge and Collie Cup at Gilgandra.

The now 10-year-oold Ecker Road, trained by Bryan Dixon Jnr, was given a charmed run behind the leaders by Ken Dunbar in the 1200 metres Inland Petroleum - Bill Lambell Memorial Gulargambone Cup. Gaining an inside run, Ecker Road ($8) won by a neck from Beauchamp (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $2 favourite) and Daredevil (Will Stanley, $5).

Punters were off to a bad start when rank outsider Warrior’s Spirit foiled a betting plunge on the Muswellbrook trained Apache Doc in the 1100 metres Gulargambone Bowling Club Maiden Handicap.

Ridden by James Rogers for Narromine trainer Kylie Ken-

nedy, Warrior’s Spirit ($41) hit the front in the straight and lasted to win by a half head from Apache Doc (Angela Cooper, $6 to $2.80 favourite) which rushed home from near the tail of the field while Chart Topper (Georgina McDonnell, $5), was only a head away third.

A protest by Ashleigh Stanley on the fi fth placed Red Card Rosie against the winner was dismissed.

The following race, the 1450 metres Threefold Garden Management Maiden Plate, saw punters back in the black when the Clint Lundholm, Dubbo trained Irene Of Athens (Jake Pracey-Holmes, fi rmed from $2.50 to $2 favourite and after racing handy to the lead won by a half-length from Ar-

lington Girl (Zoe Hunt, $3) and Mista Sock (Billy Cray, $7).

Beaten a nose by For Da Boys at the 2022 Gulargambone meeting, Miss Twenty Two returned this year to win the 1450 metres AMPS Agribusiness Benchmark 45 Handicap.

From the Dar Lunn stable at Dubbo, Miss Twenty Two (Georgina McDonnell, $4.40) tracked the leader and won by a half-length from the heavily backed War Toy (Chelsea Ings, $8 to $3.50 favourite) and The Enzo (Zoe Hunt, $5).

Leading all the way, the Sharon Jeffries, Parkes-trained Jin Chi Phantom ($13) under powerful riding by Michael Heagney held on to win the 1800 metres Halcroft and Bennett Benchmark 50 Handicap

from Outback Cod (Andrew Banks, $6) and Beg Me (Ken Dunbar, $4 equal fav.).

Formerly from Gulargambone and a long-time successful jockey in Sydney, Andrew Banks was a popular winner of the Gilgandra and Dubbo Toyota Class One Handicap on the Michael Lunn, Dubbo trained Geesheehan.

Ready to challenge when turning for home, Geesheehan ($5) responded to strong riding to beat the leader Overclassy (Ashleigh Stanley, $2.80 fav.) by a long neck with Ready Made Doll (Clayton Gallagher, $11) a close third.

Gulargambone attracted a tremendous crowd and big crowds are also expected at Mendooran and Mudgee this coming weekend.

Pumas second grade and Sporting Pumarettes fall short on final hurdle facilities committee meets to discuss issues The Warren Pumarettes after their elimination final loss to Gulargambone on Saturday.

By ANDREW TARRY THE Sporting Facilities Committee met this month to discuss issues facing the management and maintenance of Warren’s sporting facilities. Several issues were covered, and a subsequent action checklist was updated which contains details on the current or upcoming works regarding the sporting facilities.

A key discussion of the committee was the replacement of main oval lights at Victoria Park precinct. At the oval there are approximately 15 lights that are currently out. There are a combination of problems which are contributing to lights continually going out, including failed ignitor switches, bulbs, wiring and general use. To change over the lights and upgrade the technology the committee discussed that it would be “greater than $265,000” to perform an entire changeover to LED lighting.

To accommodate for this cost, the council is investigating grant sources to fund the complete change over. In the meantime, the town services manager and centre manager have been tasked to investigate how many gloves are currently not working and to create a surplus store of globes for the future.

The committee also discussed the re-leveling of Victoria Park grass playing surfaces. Water is pooling in areas around the northern posts, mod-league oval, and grass netball courts. The committee agreed that the project needs to be considered in the “near-future” once user groups relocate to Carter Oval. On a small note, the microphone was playing up during the rugby union Friday night game with the latter to be investigated.

By HARRY GAYNOR WARREN Rugby Club made the return trip to the northern flats of Walgett last Saturday, August 26, for the second round of elimination finals. The Pumarettes and Pumas’ second grade sides both had must-win contests ahead of them if they were to progress to the home grand fi nal this weekend and join the Pumas fi rst grade.

The Pumarettes were up against their rivals Gulargambone in the first match of the day, with the incoming daytime heat of spring making short work of their warm up routine. While the Flamin’ Galahs ran on with a healthy stockpile of players donned in war-paint, the Pumarettes were quick to make the first mark on the game, as skipper Kaitlin Staniforth caught the midfield defence sleeping to bust through.

Warren was able to frustrate Gular early on by shutting down their infamous kicking tactics, but eventually the advantage of endless substitutes gave Gular the upper hand in the heat.

They were able to hit back with three tries before half-time due to a tired Warren defensive line.

The Pumarettes weren’t ready to give up after the break, as Pip Storer combined with Staniforth to keep busting holes through the middle. Alison Rus-

kin-Rowe eventually capitalised with a chip and chase try to bring the margin back to five points.

The Pumarettes’ defence was desperate to stop the aggressive Galahs, with Sophie O’Brien busting her AC joint in a try-saving effort. Unfortunately, however the tri-colours were able to secure victory with three late tries, the fi nal score 35-10.

The Pumarettes were gracious in defeat and with the odds against them all season due to a lack of numbers, they were extremely happy to finish the season in third place.

In the following match, the Pumas men’s second grade ran out against the Coonamble Rams for a place in the big dance. Both teams would have had at least four weeks since their last game, with the Pumas sporting a much more youthful side. The blasting heat of the sun must’ve worn heavy upon the black Warren jerseys early on, as Coonamble were able to cross the line twice in the fi rst four minutes.

The young Pumas were able to recompose themselves and fi nally make headway back down the field. Sean Ross and Charlie McCaskey lead the forward pack with some courageous running into the wall of senior Ram players, and suddenly Matthew Kelly was able to bust through with blistering speed to score a 40-metre solo try.

The old-heads of the Rams side were able to make some sneaky work around the ruck to regain possession fairly regularly, and snatch another try to get a 12-point lead at half-time.

The Pumas were able to unleash the speed of fullback Thomas Bruce after the break as he found space out wide to get the Pumas back in the game. Yet once again the Rams were quick to hit back with another try of their own.

A late charge from the Warren forwards and some silly penalties gave them an attacking position for several minutes, where Tom Scifleet capitalised with a sneaky grubber chase to give Warren some late hope.

The Rams were professional in closing out the game with another try following a ruck pilfer once again. The Coonamble Rams were victorious 33-15 and will now face Walgett in the weekend’s grand fi nal.

This Saturday is set to showcase a glorious day of rugby, with the grand fi nals at Warren’s Victoria Oval. The Warren Puma’s fi rst grade side is set to take on the reigning premiers Walgett.

In the women’s touch seven’s grand fi nal, the Walgett Ewes will play Gulargambone’s Flamin’ Galahs, while in the men’s second grade grand fi nal, the Walgett Rams will face the Coonamble Rams.

Wildflowers U11s, are on the way to the finals!

The Warren Wildflowers U12s have wrapped-up their season, finishing fifth on the ladder. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED. WARREN Wildflowers junior netball club have had a cracking season in Dubbo this year with all teams showing big improvements and, in big news, the U11s Wildflowers side are now heading to the semi-fi nals this weekend.

The U11s have had a great season, Coach Katy-Rose Hunt said, with the girls having improved out-of-sight this year, ending the regular season third on the ladder after a big 27-10 win over the top-of-thetable competition leaders.

The team now head into the semi-fi nals this Saturday with a win ensuring a major semi clash next week and,

(fi ngers crossed!) a spot in the Grand Final on Saturday, September 16.

Good luck to the girls who have all trained hard and grown as a player group this year.

For other sides, the season for the U12s has wrapped-up with the girls fi nishing-off their time at the “Warren Wildflowers” Club as they move-on to high school teams next year. Coaches Airlie Bruce and Grace Brennan, said it had been an absolute pleasure to have coached these young girls over the past couple of years.

The U12s fi nished the season fi fth on the ladder overall and,

The Warren Wildflowers U11s will play in the semi-finals this Saturday after finishing the season in third place.

while they were striving for that elusive spot in the fi nals, they were gracious when they did not get there. The early and frosty starts every Saturday morning in Dubbo also did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of this team.

All the girls have different strengths on the court with Polly Wass and her bullet-like shoulder pass, or Milla McMillan and her impressive rocket speed at the centre pass. Pippa Wise also proved her fitness and could play or train for hours without looking like she needed a break, and Clare Bruce’s versatility, proved a valuable asset to the team.

Elizabeth Latham towered over her opposition and made many a turnover with ease and Bridie Klaare was always reliable in defence and showed great determination when we were put under pressure.

Tilly Tancred was fast and agile all over the court, and Eliza Brennan became a master of the long shot and, at times, even surprised herself when they went in! Emmy Scotson can jump like nobody’s business and made some game changing intercepts that would excite the crowd and motivate her teammates to power-on when the chips were down.
