From July 2025, the way we recycle is changing for the better Why do I need a separate glass bin?

The purple glass recycling bin will be introduced across Strathbogie Shire in 2025 to comply with the Victorian Government’s state-wide standard household recycling and waste service program.

As part of this program, the State Government is making significant investment in glass reprocessing facilities to improve efficiency, as broken glass can contaminate other recyclables like cardboard, paper and plastic, making them harder to recycle. By putting your glass bottles and jars in a separate bin, these can easily be recycled into new items.

Learn more at sustainability.vic.gov.au Organics: Weekly Mixed Recycling: Fortnightly General Rubbish: Fortnightly Glass Recycling: Monthly

How will I know what bins to put out each week?

We have several ways to track which bin to put out and when including:

Download the BinRight Strathbogie app Get a personalised bin collection calendar with optional reminders.

Search “BinRight Strathbogie” in the App Store or Google Play, or visit www.strathbogie.vic.gov.au/binright-app for more details.

Download or request a bin collection calendar Download and print the bin collection calendar by scanning the QR code below or visiting our website: www.strathbogie.vic.gov.au/4-bins Call or visit our customer service centres to request a printed calendar

What will the service cost?

The cost of the new bins is included in your rates notice. There will be no increase in waste charges for the 2025-26 year.

What about a business or commercial property?

The new bins are being rolled out automatically for residential properties.

From 1 July 2025, businesses may apply for a purple bin via our website or by contacting Council.

Bin size and delivery Your new purple bin for glass recycling will be 120 litres.

Bins are scheduled to be delivered to your property boundary between June 2 and June 27. If you haven’t received your new purple bin by June 27 please contact us.

Surgery delays surge WAITING times for surgery are under scrutiny with the opposition slamming the backlog of patients currently on hold in Victoria.

Member for Euroa Annabelle Cleeland said that despite record health spending and repeated promises from the government, the state’s health system performance continued to worsen.

She said there were currently over 60,000 people waiting for surgery.

“Too many Victorians are

Wait times jump 18 per cent waiting too long for to be cared for, particularly in regional areas,” Ms Cleeland said.

“Every single person on these waiting lists has a story to tell about deferred care and unnecessary time waiting in agony for life-changing surgery.”

Data released by the Victorian Agency for Health Information

(VAHI) last month revealed that Victorians continued to face increasing wait times for planned surgeries and emergency treatment:  Median wait time for Category 2 surgeries has risen to 62 days (up from 54 days), with over 7,150 patients missing treatment within the recommended timeframe.

 Category 3 surgeries now have a median wait of 119 days (up from 102 days), affecting more than 1,320 patients.  Overall, wait times for planned surgeries jumped 18 per cent in the last quarter.

Ms Cleeland has launched an online survey for people across the region to share their experiences on surgery waitlists.

She said the survey would allow people to share just how impactful

these delays had been on their lives.

“This survey is an important step to ensure their voices are heard and urgent action is taken to fix our health system,” she said.

“The Victorian public hospital system is broken, and Victorians are not able to get the care they need when they need it most.”

The survey is available at https:// www.surveymonkey.com/r/euroawaitlist-survey

Half a million reasons to go batty FAMILY-owned winery Fowles Wine in Avenel has been awarded $500,000 to engineer BatNavs - a technology that helps microbats to navigate their way around a vineyard and feed on pests, reducing the need for pesticides and promoting biodiversity.

Fowles Wine is a Coles Liquor supplier and received the grant as part of the Coles Nurture Fund, which aims to turn innovative ideas into real-world solutions that benefit producers, the en-

vironment, and customers.

Fowles Wine owner and director Matt Fowles said the Australian-first project is about rethinking how farming and nature can work together.

“The potential benefits of this project are massive, not just for Fowles Wine, but also for the broader wine industry here in Australia,” Mr Fowles said.

“Based on our research, we estimate savings of $50 million per year in pesticides and a reduced environmental impact.

“Farming can be a fairly lonely pursuit, so it is really nice to have your ideas and hard work recognised; the Coles Nurture Fund has put wind in our sails and allowed us to think big.”

Coles said the grants reflect its commitment to supporting local producers and communities, noting that it remains Australia’s top corporate giver by percentage of profit for the fifth year running.

Coles Group chief commercial and sustainability officer Anna Croft said this

year’s recipients stood out for their forward-thinking projects.

“We’re proud to support these businesses that are pioneering smart and practical solutions that will help to create a more sustainable future,” Ms Crofts said.

“It’s exciting to see such a strong pipeline of ideas with the potential to make a real impact, not just on production methods here in Australia, but on the communities and environments they are part of.”

RESEARCH TO FLOURISH: Research at Fowles Wine into the impact of microbats on insect control has paid off with an investment from the Coles Nurture Fund for future work.

Charlie and the chocolate dream An idea only one year By ANDY WILSON in the making opens CHARLIE Mawson is no slouch.

ages of the online sale of cheap items; but not with Charlie – he has a bit more depth and a lot more pace than most as he celebrates the opening of Charlie’s Pies, Cakes & Chocolates on Binney Street.

“When you look up online businesses, there’s always just, oh, you sell your t-shirts on eBay or something,” Charlie said.

“But I don’t think that’s authentic enough.”

His school report lists off some of the flagship subjects of the academic world, including specialised mathematics and physics.

So, it is little wonder that the young man behind Euroa’s newest business is more of a behind-the-scenes operator than a front man for some child’s mere pastry-in-the-sky dream.

ACADEMIC, REALLY: Charlie attributes his success of opening the shop to his choice of subjects at school. “It’s like a puzzle and it all comes together,” he said. PHOTO: Andy Wilson Doing well in accountancy also means that he is all over the business acumen required to start a chocolate-cum-pastry-cum-coffee shop right next door to the post office.

Charlie said he has always been attracted to the business side of his academic pursuits.

“I have always been drawn to the economics type of subjects and just like with a business, it is so malleable.

“You can work things out and on the back end, you can see where the sales are, what things you’re selling.

“It’s like a puzzle and it all comes together.”

Inspiration for the establishment came from Charlie working at his parents’ Mawson’s Bakery at the other end of the shopping strip, which he combined with well-saved

pocket money, some online bargain buys, and simply ‘bringing it all together’.

The most surprising thing is that the idea for the shop is only one year old, with Charlie not wasting a day to see his dream come to fruition.

He also has contingencies up his sleeve.

“Right now, it’s in the stage where we’re just kind of figuring out what’s going to sell, what’s not going to sell,” he said.

“If people don’t like one type of chocolate frog, well, we won’t get it back - we’ll get something better, something different, maybe praline.

“It’s really what people want.”

Charlie’s opening is on Wednesday, 11 June and will feature giveaway vouchers, treats, and live music.

A mother, a daughter and a stranger from another land are thrown together on an unexpected road trip through the Australian countryside that takes them on a journey of love, humour and redemption.

PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING: A mudwall home and (inset), a comparison of outside (red) and inside (blue) temperatures.

“This is my first time working with just mud and no concrete, mixing just straw in with the mud instead.

“And I came out here because I wanted to learn how to do this properly, because Earthships are just one of many types of earthen building methods that I have since learned you can do.”

Although she has some global experience - even building a school classroom in Guatemala it had been a while since she had done any earthen work until arriving here in mid-March.

“Guatemala is where I got to do

a more intense bottle wall, which is something I’ve realized I love,” she said.

“Bottles inserted into walls give a structure with better insulation in both winter and summer.”

Beck has also toured the shire to inspect similar houses built from mud and said she was impressed with the quality and variety of houses, including one made from ‘aircrete’ - the mixture of detergent foam with concrete.

“The aircrete dome had rammed earth-wall tires on the bottom.

“I also visited a mud brick home that was super fire resistant, and the owners had a whole fire prevention plan.”

Beck said seeing data of inside versus outside temperatures was impressive enough to support the effectiveness of mud walls with controlling temperature, and strongly advocates for more mud-built houses in the area.

“It’s hard to sell passive heating and cooling sometimes, because people say, well, how much does it really work?

“The proof is in the pudding; it works if it’s done correctly.”

Thank those who are on the scene first

STRATHBOGIE Shire Council is proudly joining the nation on Wednesday 11 June to mark Thank a First Responder Day to recognise the courage, commitment, and compassion of those who put their lives on the line to protect others.

Mayor Claire Ewart-Kennedy said the day was an opportunity to pause and reflect on the vital role played by emergency personnel, especially in regional communities.

“Today we say a heartfelt thank you to the people who keep our community safe - often in the most challenging of circumstances,” Cr Ewart-Kennedy said.

People in mud houses should throw more mud TAKE some recycled bottles, a few hay bales, a window or two, and as much mud as one can find, and the sky is the limit on the creativity needed to produce an energy-efficient house.

Add to that a young expert from the US, and affordable and energy efficient housing rises out of the ground.

Beck Carey has fallen in love with Strathbogie Shire – which she likens to Tolkein’s ‘Shire’ in Lord of the Rings – and she promises she will return again, having stayed in Strathbogie for a few months undertaking a hands-on course in mud-house building.

Filthy hands-on in fact.

The young Texan first came into contact with alternative housing four years ago in her home state, working on ‘Earthships’ - alternative living environments designed to have minimal environmental impact.

Beck said Earthships were ‘super passive’ buildings built from recycled materials and designed to be self-sufficient and off-grid.

“I was really drawn to the low cost of materials and the sustainability factor that they have,” she said.

“That is particularly attractive to me because because the Texas grid system is privatized and very bad.”

Since qualifying from the Earthship Academy in New Mexico – a state considered the Mecca for Earthships – Beck moved to Sydney with her partner and somehow landed in Strathbogie up to her elbows in heavy clay.

She has no background in construction but joined a small local project, bringing with her a passion for the environment and sustainability as well as a love for the more pure earthen building made by ‘cobbing’ - the mixing of mud and straw to construct reinforced walls.

LONGWOOD LOOKOUT

OPENING: Longwood’s nature play space.

PHOTO: Rebecca Threlfall Deborah Cavanagh’s Longhorns in the Shade is one of her pieces on exhibit in Longwood.

Updating the Longwood diary ARTBOX CELEBRATES LOCAL TALENT LONGWOOD now hosts Strathbogie Shire’s ARTBOX as the portable exhibition facility makes its seasonal tour of the shire.

The exhibition Beauty of the Everyday celebrates local women artists and the creative spirit of Deborah Cavanagh and Hilary Ford.

On display now until Monday, 30 June at 60 Hill Street, Longwood, the exhibition launches three months of arts experiences in the heart of the shire.

Strathbogie Shire Mayor Claire Ewart-Kennedy said

KEEPING AN EYE ON LONGWOOD

the exhibition reflected the unique perspectives and talents of the region’s creative community.

“This ARTBOX exhibition is a beautiful reminder that art can live in the everyday - our gardens, our animals, our memories, and our seasons,” Cr Ewart-Kennedy said.

“Deborah and Hilary capture all of that with extraordinary warmth and skill.”

“These exhibitions are about more than showcasing talent - they help connect our community to local stories and landscapes.

“They also celebrate the joy of lifelong creativity.”

Hilary Ford, originally from Scotland and now a long-time Euroa local, shares delicate watercolours inspired by her home, garden, and memories of her time abroad.

Her work captures light and emotion in a way that invites viewers to pause and reflect.

Deborah Cavanagh, who moved to Euroa after 30 years in tropical Queensland, brings bold depictions of the Victorian highlands, filled with colour, humour, and a deep connection to place.

ARTBOX is a mobile art space supported by Strathbogie Shire Council to showcase regional talent and bring visual art to unexpected places.

The current exhibition is part of a three-month activation of Hill Street designed to engage locals and visitors alike.

For more information about ARTBOX, visit: www. strathbogie.vic.gov.au

Stay of execution THE emergency services tax isn’t gone - it’s just a one-year stay of execution for farmers.

Labor has slapped hardworking Victorians with 61 new or increased taxes since coming to office – taking more money from you and your family.

With July 1 just around the corner – a raft of government fees and charges are set to rise.

Car registration, power bills, and water bills will all increase.

Labor is plunging Victorians further into a cost-of-living crisis at a time many families are stretching every dollar as far as they can.

The Nationals will scrap five taxes including the emergency services tax - so you have more money in your pocket.

Danny O’Brien, Victorian leader of The Nationals

Pleas ignored It’s hard not to be moved by the devastating stories told by farmers grappling with one of the driest years on record.

There’s no feed, no water, and disappointingly, none of the much needed on-ground support farmers need to help relieve the pressure of mounting bills.

It’s having a flow-on effect on us all, taking money out of our local businesses and our communities.

For months, Victorian producers have called for fodder, agistment, and water support, yet their pleas continue to go ignored by an Allan Labor Government that simply doesn’t

appear to care.

No doubt the drought taskforce - which includes some very wise and well-experienced people - will put forward these and similar ideas to government.

However, with no guaranteed funding to make the Taskforce recommendations a reality, farmers are no closer to the financial support they need and deserve from Labor.

The cold hard reality is Victorians are paying the price for Labor’s inability to manage money, and as disaster looms, it’s Victorian farmers who are paying the greatest price.

So many times, we’ve heard the Premier and Treasurer spruiking their regional Victorian credentials.

These words are mean nothing when Premier Jacinta Allan and her government don’t support farmers and regional communities when they need someone in their corner.

Labor must step up, stand up for all Victorians, and provide the immediate financial support for our farmers they desperately need.

It is alleged the Volkswagen Tiguan was driving erratically along the Hume Freeway in Euroa just before 11am.

It will be alleged the vehicle was stolen from an address in Werribee on Wednesday, 28 May. The police Air Wing observed the vehicle travelling on the Northern Highway where it allegedly lost control and crashed into a barrier.

The driver was arrested and taken to hospital under police guard.

He has since been interviewed and charged with nine offences, including reckless conduct endangering serious injury, dangerous driving whilst being pursued by police, unlawful assault, theft, and driving without a licence.

The 32-year-old Werribee man was remanded to appear before Broadmeadows Magistrates’ Court on Friday.

Third Age Club powers through winter’s start

By JOAN OSBOURNE

GUEST SPEAKER: Bibby Simmons moved the audience to tears as she shared her heartfelt story of battling cancer.

CANCER COUNCIL FUNDRAISER: Euroa CWA raised $2,000 for Cancer Council Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea.

Over 100 Gather for Euroa’s Biggest Morning Tea

By DAN GODSMARK CWA EUROA hosted an uplifting afternoon tea in support of the Cancer Council’s “Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea” on Sunday, 8 June.

With an amazing turnout of over 100 people, the event raised more than $2000 - an incredible testament to the generosity and spirit of our local community.

Guests were treated to a delightful spread of homemade cakes, slices, sandwiches, tea, coffee, and scones, all enjoyed in the

warmth of community and care.

But the true highlight of the day was the deeply moving and personal story shared by local legend and cancer survivor, Bibby Simmons.

Bibby’s survival story inspired everyone in the room as she courageously opened up about her journey - juggling the demands of running a business, being a mother and wife, enduring the heartbreak of losing her sister to cancer, and supporting another sister through her own diagnosis - all while navigating the uncertainty of COVID-19 lockdowns.

Despite the odds stacked against her, Bibby’s strength never wavered.

Her own cancer eventually relapsed, and she was told it was now stage 4, but even in the face of this devastating news, Bibby refused to give up.

Through the love and support of her family and friends, she continues to fight with grace, hope, and resilience.

Her story touched every heart in the room and served as a powerful reminder of the importance of support, community, and never giving up.

CWA Euroa extends enormous ap-

WE are hoping everyone is managing to stay warm in this cold start to winter.

preciation to Bibby for sharing her journey so openly and generously, and for giving hope to everyone touched by cancer.

We’d also like to express our sincere thanks to all the generous sponsors - including 26 Euroa businesses - who made the event possible.

If you’re inspired to be part of this incredible community, our next CWA meeting will be held on Monday, 16 June at 7pm in Euroa’s RSL club room.

Just bring your own mug and a smile - we’d love to see you there.

From Tasmania to here: swift action needed THE Year of the Tree Hollow continues with the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority (GBCMA) highlighting a critically endangered species through its community awareness campaign.

The migratory swift parrot (Lathamus discolor) features as this month’s animal.

GBCMA project officer Janice Mentiplay-Smith said the swift parrot was one of Australia’s most beautiful parrots but was on a trajectory to extinction if not enough was done to save it.

“With just several hundred of these beautiful birds remaining in the wild, the ‘swiftie’ is listed as critically endangered,” Ms Mentiplay-Smith said.

She also said swift parrots were unique in migrating from their summer breeding grounds in southern Tasmania to the forests

of Victoria’s Goulburn Broken catchment and beyond.

“Swift Parrots are a wonderful example of how biodiversity and habitat health is interconnected and not restricted by boundaries,” she said.

The parrots nest and raise their chicks in tree hollows in southern Tasmania during the summer.

“When the cooler months arrive, they migrate to our region to feast on the nectar produced by autumn and winter-flowering eucalypts.”

“This is a clear demonstration of how preserving habitat for the needs of our native species is a national effort,” Ms MentiplaySmith said.

BirdLife Australia coordinates Swift Parrot search events at Euroa, Nagambie, and Violet Town.

For further information visit https://birdlife.org.au/events/ swift-parrot-search/

LOCALLY-BOUND: There are only a few hundred swift parrots left in the wild.

SIMPLY TALK: Graham ‘Jonesy’ Jones with wife Leanne Jones-Russell, who wants men to speak up about prostate cancer. “That is my message - talk about it.”

Talk about it!

By ANDY WILSON

A DETERMINED Violet Town woman is this week taking to task those who do not talk enough about prostate cancer.

As part of Men’s Health Week (9-15 June), Leanne RussellJones is walking three kilometres per day until Sunday to reach her target of $1000 as part of the Walk For Him campaign, in honour of her husband Graham, who has prostate cancer.

Leanne will not only welcome donations on her laps around the Violet Town walking track she will undertake from 3:30pm daily, but has a bit of chastising for those who don’t speak up.

Leanne said awareness of the signs of the disease was as important to her as fund raising.

“There are too many who

don’t know about prostate cancer and many go through it but then don’t share information with others,” Leanne said.

“There are so many men who don’t do anything.

“That is my message - talk about it.”

Graham Jones – she calls him ‘Jonesy’ – was diagnosed with prostate cancer in October last year after a blood test in May indicated high PSA (prostatespecific antigen) levels, which are typically the first indication of the disease.

Graham’s case was unique

toms, diagnosis was late in the journey.

Leanne believes a lack of awareness due to men not sharing their stories because of the stigma associated with it, is to blame.

“Those who go through it do not share their stories,” she said.

“They need to.”

Donations can be made at www.walkforhim.org.au/fundraisers/leannerussell-jones/ walk-for-him-2025 For free confidential telephone information and support, phone the Cancer Council Helpline on 13 11 20.

I NEED to find humour in most things, and as laughter is the best medicine, I have morphed a routine of my own about my prostate cancer journey to make those close to me laugh along.

However, the lack of awareness of prostate cancer is a bugbear of mine, and I strike up conversations everywhere with blokes my own age – normally at a pub urinal, oddly – with a simple message: “Get your bloods done, mate. Tomorrow.”

Despite my family being dominated by males for generations, we have no history of prostate cancer. Take note.

I chanced upon my high PSA levels after a blood test for something completely different.

Take note.

Statistically, I was too young.

Really take note.

The final diagnosis with Melbourne’s finest surgeon – an Irish fellow with the thickest Dublin accent – came through a zoom meeting midpandemic, and on a special day.

“Yer far too young for dis,” he said, then looked at his notes.

“Oi mean, yer only… when’s yer next birth--- oh, Lord, it’s yer birthday today!

“Well, of all the happy returns, oi’ll bet dis isn’t one of dem.”

It got better.

“Tell ya what: Oi’ll bulk bill ya.”

Dinner guests don’t seek permission to laugh when I get to the punchline, and I am glad for it.

Here’s the serious part: the stigma that frightens men off – to be blunt (if they’ve trimmed their nails it should be) – is fear of the dreaded rectal examination.

Take note: it is not necessary anymore, fellas. A blood test is sufficient.

This is a drum I beat so loud that I have broken several drum skins.

I’m a survivor, but by mere chance only.

If you are approaching forty, book your doctor today and get your damned bloods done.

No joking on that one.

Members and guests gathered to compete in the third running of the JCS Electrical Solutions Pinehurst event and thankfully the predicted rain held off for most of the afternoon, with all but the late starting group managing to get to the clubhouse before it started.

There were many “sad” stories to be told but everyone enjoyed the challenging format of Pinehurst even if though it may not have been reflected in their scores.

an even-par result.

Runner up honours went to Chris Roberts, finishing some distance back on five-under.

With a smaller field, there were fewer attempts to reach the par three in regulation.

Ryan Ezard was the only player to hit one on the day, producing a well-weighted iron onto the 13th.

In other news, Graeme Cusack competed at the Tocumwal Winter Tournament, an event that attracts hundreds of golfers from across the state and beyond.

Cusack carded the best score in the Saturday singles Stableford event and was the winner of B grade.

A great effort from Cusack.

Next week’s golf at Nagambie will be a Stableford event and the first round of the social club trophy.

On office duty will be B. Leviston, with C. Roberts in the bar.

and the little ball was left on the tee peg.

The husband and wife combination of Lance and Lyn Carracher played a good round and despite a disappointing second nine, held on to win the scratch with 80 off the stick.

Visiting from Yea, Kenny Whitfort teamed up with former president Dale Smith and they collected the prize for the best nett score with 75.5.

Dale was less than happy with his golf but fortunately for him, Kenny never missed a fairway which makes all the difference when playing Pinehurst.

Scratch runners up were Danny Neville and Brad McNamara.

They must have been striking it well as they also took out the drive and pitch on the 17th and Danny got the nearest the pin on the 14th.

Net runners up were Alex Smith and Jarrod Byers and line balls went to Mark and Sam Hannigan and Jed and Rachel Smith.

Other Nearest the pins went to Mark Hannigan on the fifth, Dale Smith on the eighth and Jack Smith on the 18th.

THE message from farmers and CFA volunteers was made clear on Tuesday, 20 May as over 5000 protestors used emergency vehicles to block the Spring and Bourke Streets intersection outside Parliament House to protest the state government’s new emergency services levy.

CFA fire trucks and other emergency vehicles from all over the state had slowed major arterial freeways and roads into Melbourne that morning to bring the new levy to the attention of Melbourne residents and the government.

Liberal and Nationals leaders Brad Battin and Danny

O’Brien told the rally that a coalition government would repeal the levy legislation if elected in 18 months-time.

Mr Battin said the government was ‘once again’ using a heartless tax hike to plug its budget black hole.

“Only Labor could try and spin a massive land tax as support for volunteers. This is not about emergency ser-

CFA group officer Pat Millear addressed the crowd and listed off all fires attended to by volunteers since Black Saturday 2009 when all of Victoria’s units were in service.

He commended those present for their duty.

Benalla Gun Club Championships return with strong support at Euroa

By JOHN KING ABOUT 35 competitors braved cold and misty conditions to support the Benalla Gun Club Championships at the Euroa club on Sunday, June 8.

These annual championships are sponsored by the Benalla Gun Club to maintain the club’s presence in the shooting records.

It has been several years since Benalla went into recess, and Euroa members remain appreciative of Benalla’s continued support.

Scores were affected by the wintry weather, but Stephen Murphy from St James had a successful day, winning two of the championships on offer.

He scored 71/75 in the point-score event and achieved the only 25/25 in the double-barrel event.

Benalla’s Neil Haydon was the only competitor to shoot a clean round in the single-

barrel event, earning him the outright win.

The High Gun Sash was awarded to Tony Rohrlach.

Overall, it was a successful day for all involved and farmers will be pleased with the rain, hoping it continues.

MANSFIELD’S three local teams Delatite, Wappan, and Mansfield were all playing at home on Monday.

Terip hosted Seven Creeks and Moglonemby met Creighton’s Creek in Euroa.

Delatite’s Karyn Fraser, Carolyn Murray, Kass Thomas, and Loretta Armitage welcomed Wappan onto the groomed courts under grey skies and perfectly still air.

Mansfield hosted Benalla alongside them.

Wappan’s Anna Speirs, Liza Karras, and Rhonda Carpenter were joined by Mary Reilly, who played her first match.

Kass and Loretta got off to a strong start, taking a 5-0 lead before Rhonda and Mary could get a game on the card.

Delatite maintained their form and took the opener 8-3.

Hard baseline hitting was on display throughout the match, with sole supporter Pat Howard watching devotedly from the sidelines as the sun peeped through to warm her back.

Anna proved a perfect partner for her teammates, winning every set in style.

On debut, Mary found her rhythm, ran and retrieved, and ultimately won her first set.

Carolyn and Kass went game for game with Liza and Rhonda, geeing themselves up until consecutive missed shots unravelled the pair into paroxysms of laughter.

By SHAE VAN DER SCHOOR

WARMING UP: Benalla’s Kate Campbell, Deb Siggers, Claire Sharp, and Maureen Jewell in Mansfield’s clubhouse.

Wappan took advantage of the lapse, stole the lead, and never looked back, winning 4/40 to 2/27.

Mansfield’s Michelle Pigdon, Keira McDonagh, Natalie Bergsma, and Sophie Yencken were in strong form for their match against Benalla.

Kate Campbell, Claire Sharp, Maus Jewell, and Deb Siggers snatched an opening set and a final one, but Mansfield claimed the remaining sets to win 4/43 to 2/29 in a match featuring highquality, hard hitting play.

Terip’s Cindy Hayes, Frances Lawrence, Phoebe Macdermid,

and Meg Ford had all the answers in their contest against Seven Creeks.

Ro Ellis and Gayle Furphy put up a challenge in the opening set, but Terip took the chocolates 6/48 to 0/16.

Moglonemby warmly welcomed back Marlene Hanrahan and Robyn Johnson, who joined Judy Sands, Lyndall Bigland, and Danielle Scotis for their match against Creighton’s Creek.

Faye Mollison, Ros Doxey, Kerry Hewlett, and Lyn Johnson fought hard and managed to win two sets, but Marlene - enjoying

her return to the court after some time out - won both her sets 8-1.

Moglonemby won 4/39 to 2/23.

Euroa had the bye.

Ladder Round Six: Euroa 41, Moglonemby 37, Terip 36, Wappan 36, Mansfield 25, Creighton’s Creek 21, Benalla 15, Seven Creeks 15, Delatite 14.

Round seven will be played on Sunday, 16 June after the King’s Birthday holiday, with matches in Benalla, Euroa, Mansfield, and Terip.

Two further rounds will be played before the mid-winter holiday break.

Seconds falter, Thirds hold on RESERVE XVIII

By TONY BRODIE

ON THE MOVE: Mitchell Walters makes an impact in seniors with this strong clearance as he works his way into the game.

RUNNING PLAY: Tom Bourke sets things in motion for the seniors with teammates in support.

AS the teams ran out, it was clear it would be a tough day for Euroa’s reserves.

Kyabram hit the scoreboard early, moving the ball swiftly into attack.

Euroa had several chances to go forward but were unable to convert.

At the quarter-time break, the coaches urged the team to tighten their defensive efforts to restrict Kyabram’s movement.

Kyabram went into the first break with a five-goal lead.

Euroa worked hard in the second quarter but struggled to match Kyabram, who extended their lead to 10 goals by half-time.

Coaches Jim and Declan Redfern praised their team’s effort and some good passages of play, but again lamented missed opportunities in front of goal.

The third quarter followed a similar pattern, with Kyabram adding five more goals.

Euroa had several chances but remained unable to convert effectively.

In the final quarter, Kyabram threatened to run away with the game, but Euroa limited them to five goals while adding two of their own.

The players are to be commended for their commitment.

GOULBURN VALLEY SENIORS LADDER

Injuries and player unavailability continue to challenge the team, though it is hoped some reinforcements return for Past Players Day against Mansfield.

SCOREBOARD: Kyabram 20.15.135 defeated Euroa 2.9.21 BEST PLAYERS: Declan Redfern, Ollie Day, Nic Thomson, Dublin Anderson, James Henry.

GOAL KICKERS: Declan Redfern (one), Ryan Mackrell (one).

THIRDS XVIII

By KELLEY HOWELL ROUND nine saw Euroa’s under-18 team face Kyabram at Memorial Oval in wet conditions.

After a heavy defeat in round one, the players were determined to show how far they had come.

Euroa started strongly with a quick centre clearance resulting in a goal from Noah Campbell.

Kyabram replied shortly after.

The Magpies’ pressure was relentless, and a strong mark and conversion from Mitch Robinson followed by a set shot from Baxter Fraser saw Euroa lead 18 to eight at quarter-time.

The second term was an even contest in difficult conditions, with each team scoring two goals.

Ollie Wilson and Lucas McClure contributed majors, giving Euroa a 32 to 21 lead at half-time.

Kyabram had their best quarter

in the third, kicking three goals to Euroa’s one.

They took a one-point lead into the final term, 40 to 39.

Euroa lifted their intensity in the last quarter.

A goal from Drew Coller regained the lead before Cal Howell’s goal with five minutes remaining sealed the victory.

The defensive unit held firm, keeping Kyabram goalless for the quarter.

It was a fantastic team performance.

Notable was the return of Archie Wilson from injury, providing rebound off half-back alongside Nathan Hendrix and Max Miller.

The midfield’s dominance at the centre clearances and tackling pressure were highlights.

Each player left the field exhausted but exhilarated after what was arguably their finest win of the season.

With three straight victories, finals football may now be within reach.

SCOREBOARD: Euroa 8.5.53 defeated Kyabram 6.5.41 GOAL KICKERS: Noah Campbell (two), Mitch Robinson (one), Baxter Fraser (one), Ollie Wilson (one), Lucas McClure (one), Drew Coller (one), Cal Howell (one).

BEST PLAYERS: Cal Howell, Jack Walters, Drew Coller, Noah Campbell, Jake Quinn, Archie Wilson.

A Grade Euroa storm past Kyabram in 52-goal rout A GRADE EUROA A Grade extended their unbeaten run with a dominant 77 to 25 victory over Kyabram on Saturday, reinforcing their position at the top of the Goulburn Valley League ladder.

The reigning premiers delivered a clinical performance across all four quarters, showcasing the depth, discipline, and skill that have defined their season to date.

The Magpies were sharp from the outset, jumping to a 24 to five lead at quarter time and steadily increasing the margin.

Olivia Morris was a standout in the goaling circle, netting a phenomenal 65 goals in a best on court display.

She combined seamlessly with goal attack Mia Sudomirski, whose movement, feeding, and 10 goals of her own contributed to the attacking dominance.

In defence, Kellie Davidson and coach Ellie Warnock were outstanding, applying relentless pressure and forcing multiple turnovers.

Their work rate and timing frustrated Kyabram’s attacking options and played a key role in restricting their scoring.

Eliza Hoare and Sophie Owen also played pivotal roles out of defence and through the midcourt with clean transitions and strong support play.

With this result, Euroa remains undefeated after nine rounds and continues to build strong momentum.

As the season progresses, the team will look to maintain consistency and focus with finals gradually coming into view.

B GRADE EUROA had already played Kyabram in round one this season, competing under sunny skies, wearing sunscreen, and recording a comfortable win.

There was a certain level of confidence among Magpie players and

supporters when the match began against the 11th placed Bombers at Memorial Oval on Saturday, on what was the coldest day in recent memory.

While the final margin was significant, the match was hard fought.

To their credit, the Bombers delivered a more competitive brand of netball this time and were level with the B grade premiers throughout the first quarter.

Defenders Kelly Hill, Grace Warnock, and permanent new team member Ruby Watson worked hard to manage a tall Kyabram attack, matching their physicality and doing all they could to halt the momentum into the Bombers’ goal ring.

Millie Watson and Bree Sudomirski once again worked their midcourt magic, the cold conditions appearing to have no effect on their performance.

The two players zigged and zagged across the court, leading, directing play and feeding the goal ring with finesse.

Magpie goalers Molly Redfern and Sarah Ternes have been in strong form over the past month, systematically breaking down opposition defences and shooting with confidence.

On Saturday they welcomed Bree Poole back into the ring, and the trio combined with ease and precision.

The Bombers had no answers as the Magpie scoreboard continued to tick over.

A pleasing aspect of Euroa’s gameplay this season has been the composure shown by all team members when challenged.

There is no panic, just a methodical approach, and a shared confidence in their plays and each other.

After the first-quarter contest, Euroa reasserted control and eventually secured a 33 goal win.

Next week, Euroa will play host to Mansfield in another home

game, hopefully in slightly warmer conditions.

SCOREBOARD: Euroa 72 defeated Kyabram 39 BEST PLAYERS: Molly Redfern, Kelly Hill, Millie Watson.

B RESERVE EUROA B Reserve continued their impressive season with a commanding 47 to 23 win over Kyabram B Reserve on Saturday, 7 June.

From the first whistle, Euroa looked sharp, establishing a strong 13 to five lead in the opening quarter.

Their dominance continued throughout the match, with consistent scoring and defensive pressure keeping Kyabram at bay.

Sienna Trotter was in outstanding form as usual under the post, netting 25 goals.

She was well supported by Annika Sutherland with 12 and Bree Poole, returning after recent work commitments, scoring 10.

The midcourt was well controlled

by Abbie Ellis and debutant Tasman Taylor-Lloyd, who impressed with her tireless work from wing defence and vocal leadership.

Megan O’Bree and Ruby Fowler, who was celebrating her 50th club game, executed the rolling-substitution technique to great effect, rotating at key moments to maintain high intensity throughout.

Keely Wright stood out with her intercepts and relentless defensive efforts, never allowing Kyabram’s shooters an easy look at goal.

With this victory, Euroa remains third on the Goulburn Valley League B Reserve ladder, staying in close pursuit of the top two sides as the business end of the season approaches.

17 AND UNDER IN wet and miserable conditions, Euroa’s 17 and Under netball team showed grit and determination to claim a strong 46 to 38 win over Kyabram.

The game began in difficult conditions, with a slippery ball challenging both teams.

Kyabram employed a zoning defence, trying to rattle Euroa with loud communication.

However, the Magpies remained composed, working through the pressure to score steadily.

Charli Pittock was outstanding in goal keeper, reading the play well and pulling in key intercepts.

Marnie Salter was quick and efficient in wing attack, cutting through the zone and linking well with centre court.

Ella Hill shot confidently in goal shooter, while Alice Ludlow’s clever positioning at goal attack allowed her to feed accurately into Hill.

The first quarter ended with Euroa ahead, 13 to seven and allowed them to maintain their momentum.

With Evie O’Dwyer moving into wing defence and applying consistent pressure, the team’s training and hard work became evident, as the attacking end showed patience, working the ball around rather than forcing it into the ring.

Macey Watson impressed in goal defence, using her body effectively and making it difficult for Kyabram’s shooters to find space.

Jade Raleigh returned to wing defence in the third term, while Charli Pittock continued in goal keeper.

Kyabram responded with intensity, narrowing the gap by winning the quarter 11 to 6.

Despite this, Euroa’s midcourt remained composed, with Marnie Salter her dynamic best, applying pressure defensively and attacking with strong drives.

She worked seamlessly with Ruby Fowler at centre, the pair combining superbly to feed the ball into the circle under pressure.

With a few positional changes, Euroa regrouped and finished strongly, their determination shining through as they powered home with a dominant 16 to 12 final quar-

ter, sealing a convincing 46 to 38 victory.

It was a strong team performance in testing conditions.

BEST PLAYERS: Charli Pittock, Marnie Salter, Alice Ludlow.

15 AND UNDER DESPITE challenging weather conditions, with steady rain falling and the lights switched on early, Euroa’s 15 and under team delivered a dominant performance in round nine against Kyabram.

The girls came out firing from the first whistle, setting the tone with a strong and focused start.

Their intensity in both attack and defence was evident, with strong ball movement, accurate shooting and relentless pressure all over the court.

The quarter-time score was 18 to 5 - a strong start by Euroa.

Even as the rain made handling difficult, the Magpies adapted well to the slippery conditions, maintaining control and playing smart netball.

Every player contributed, showing great teamwork, resilience and discipline throughout the match.

The half-time score was Euroa 33 to 11 Kyabram.

In the third quarter, coach Tayla Robinson shuffled a few players around, taking advantage of a healthy lead to try some different combinations across the court.

The depth of the girls’ netball skills was evident, with the scoreboard reading 52 to 13 in the Magpies’ favour.

By the final siren, Euroa had built an impressive lead, taking home a convincing 65 to 15 win.

It was a solid effort from the team in testing conditions.

Coach Tayla Robinson said she was ‘really proud’ of the girls.

“They maintained their skills in the wet and kept Ky to just four goals in the second half,” she said.

BEST PLAYERS: Avie Hill, Ellie Robinson, Bethan Burton.

RUNS IN THE FAMILY: Kristen Moore celebrated in style after scoring her first hole in one.

Kristen Moore joins family legacy with stunning ace at Strathbogie

SURGING FORWARD: Mitch Penman looks up in search of a teammate during a fast play.

WEIGHING UP OPTIONS: Nic Burke surveys his options before making his next move.

By DAN GODSMARK A LOCAL golfer has etched her name into folklore with a stunning hole-in-one on the parthree 17th at Strathbogie.

Kristen Moore dazzled her hitting partners with a miracle shot during a ladies’ competition round.

Using a 4-hybrid, Moore watched in disbelief as her tee shot sailed straight and true before dropping into the cup.

“At first I thought it wouldn’t count because it wasn’t Saturday,” Moore said.

“But then I realised it was a ladies competition day - so it did count.”

Playing partners Mardi Trescowthick and Beat Van Der Schoor erupted in celebration.

“They were jumping up and down with excitement,” Moore said.

“I even said to the girls, ‘I don’t need to play any more golf today’.”

For Moore, who has been back in the game for the past 12 years thanks to the encouragement of her mother Marion Weatherald and husband John, the ace was not only a personal triumph but a family moment rooted in golfing tradition.

Kristen comes from what can only be described as a sporting family, with her mother no stranger to hole-in-one glory.

“Mum had four holes-in-one when she was playing,” Moore said.

“Three at Euroa, on the fifth in 1998, the eighth in 2007, and the 12th in 2015, and one at Nagambie’s 16th hole in 2007.

“So it definitely runs in the family.”

Having never come close before, Moore described the moment as ‘a total surprise’.

“It’s amazing when you hit the ball straight and you see it go in the hole.”

After the round, fellow members joined in the celebration with drinks and congratulations, marking what Moore now calls ‘the best highlight in my golf career’.

SHOWING COURAGE: Jack McKernan commits to the contest, backing in fearlessly without knowing what’s coming.

Kyabram overpowers Magpies at Memorial Oval SENIOR XVIII

WRAPPED UP: Declan Redfern has no choice but to keep the football locked in under pressure.

ON a bitterly cold day at Memorial Oval, Euroa again faced one of the Goulburn Valley League (GVL) powerhouse senior football teams, with high hopes that their recent form would hold them in good stead against a higher-quality opponent.

Cohen Paul celebrated his 19th birthday and was keen to cap it off with a win, as were coaching staff, players and supporters.

Making his senior debut for the club was Will Jackson, while Tom Burke returned to the line-up.

Kyabram burst out of the blocks, registering several scoring shots compared with Euroa’s four for the quarter.

This placed significant pressure on Euroa’s back six, with the likes of Jack Frewen and Nic McCabe acquitting themselves well under a constant barrage.

At the other end, opportunities were scarce.

Despite the efforts of Jett and Nate Trotter, Zac Gleeson and the creative Jacob Gleeson, the Magpies struggled to convert in front of goal

throughout much of the first half.

Unfortunately, this trend continued into the third and fourth quarters, with Kyabram asserting their dominance and adding 10 goals to Euroa’s one.

The match was played in a tough but fair spirit, echoing the values of the “Say No To Violence” round across the GVL. Next weekend is the annual Past Players Day, with a highlight being the commemoration of Euroa’s 1965 premiership.

The club will host rivals Mansfield, with a day of strong competition expected.

The Euroa Auskick kids will also take to the field at half-time of the senior match.

SCOREBOARD: Euroa 2.11.23 defeated by Kyabram 17.17.119 BEST PLAYERS: Jacob Gleeson, Jack Frewen, Ryan Hill, Zac Gleeson, Nic McCabe, Lachlan Hill.

GOAL KICKERS: Jayden Gleeson (one), Ryan Hill (one).
