BOWLS – LAWN (LADIES)
Liaison Director: Daryl Melham
We have had a good start to the year. Four teams entered the District Fours with one team reaching the finals. Sadly, the ladies were defeated by an experienced Grandviews team, but well done to Maureen Higgs, Fay Shean, Jan Pennell and Ellie Atme.
The final of our Club Singles was played between Jan Calderon and Sue Semlitzky. Congratulations to Jan who was successful on the day. We moved on to the Club Pairs. Games were played in good spirit and Dianne Oliver, Norma Gray, Maureen Higgs and Jan Pennell reached the finals. Maureen and Jan won the finals. Well-done!
The Club Mixed Fours final, held over from last year was finally played. Dianne Oliver, Jan Pennell, Glen Miller and Darrell Oehlman defeated Lyn Gallant, Joy Pavey, Denis Gallant and Dave Raper in a competitive and exciting game. Many of our ladies partnered with the men for the Mixed Pairs. This competition was enjoyed by all. Sue Semlitzky and Shane Matakaiongo played Claire and Peter Chown in the final. Congratulations to Sue and Shane on a fine win.
Jan Calderon, Betty Davidson, Noeline Hanley and Ellie Atme competed in the District Singles. Ellie made it through to the second round but was not successful in that game. Our final major competition, the Club Triples, was played recently with Betty Davidson, Mary Holloway and Sue Semlitzky facing Sandra Weekes, Fay Haddon and Joy Pavey in the final. Our triples champions are Betty, Mary and Sue. The Under 5 years challenge will be played in April and consistency will be determined in May. We look forward to celebrating our combined awards evening with the Men’s Club in July. We look forward to hosting our Christmas in July challenge where teams from all over the district join us for competitive bowls, lovely food and great raffles.
We love to welcome new members. No experience is necessary as coaching will be provided. We play on Thursday mornings and many ladies play with the men on Saturday afternoon as well. If you are interested, please contact our Secretary, Pat Tate on 0408 006 404 or our President, Dianne Oliver on 0412 738 320. See you on the green!

BOWLS – LAWN (MENS)
Liaison Director: Daryl Melham
Since the last journal report we have been very busy at our picturesque Sports Club in Spence Street. A great club day of mixed bowls between Christmas and the New Year was enjoyed by all who attended. The Zone Pennant season is well under way with 3 grades entered, 5s, 6s and 7s and at the time of writing all grades have a chance of making the play offs.
The Mixed Pairs final has been played with the team of Sue Semlitzky and Shane Matakionga prevailing over new comer Clare Chown and husband Peter Chown. Both teams performed well on their way to the finals. The Veterans Singles final for bowlers over 70 years young was won by Alan Kirby defeating Peter Shean in a hard fort game right to the end. The finals of the Major and Minors Singles were held in early April with George Atme defeating Steve Shaw in a thrilling game to win the Minors Title while Peter Chown added another win to his long list of achievements by becoming the Club Champion for 2023 defeating former winner Col Heaslip in overcast conditions. Two of our Bowlers Peter Shean and Peter Chown have been selected to represent Zone 12 in the Seniors section of the upcoming State Championships to be played in May, we wish them good luck in their pursuit of a State Title.
Our Annual Olsens Funerals sponsored Graded Triples Day was held in March with 16 clubs making up the numbers of 78 bowlers on the day. A superb beef baked dinner was served with trays of little pies, chicken skewers and sandwiches following the last of 4 games played. After the winning teams were announced two framed bowls shirts signed by International and Australian players together with a bottle of vintage port donated by Jan Stiskala were auctioned off followed by the huge raffle. A great day was had by all whom attended with all bowlers looking forward to our Terry Raper Melanoma Day to be held later in the year.
Our usual Green Keepers Day supporting the Prostate Cancer Council will be held in August and we invite any new bowlers to try their hand on this very social day. The Annual Bill Bullard Mixed Charity Day will be held on 7 May 2023 and all members of RWC are invited to attend this special day in support of the Clubs main charity. Our recruitment drive encourages new bowlers to come down to the Sports Club and join the bowlers at our picturesque setting or give our President Denis Gallant a call on 0402 114 635 and he will put you in touch with one of our qualified coaches.

Cricket
Liaison Director: Christine Benham
Finally, a season that was not impacted by fires, rain, floods, ground closures and pandemic which had devastated our competitions over recent years.
Once again, the Bankstown District Cricket Association affiliated with the Canterbury & Western Suburbs competition for seniors and competitive juniors. Both of these associations also included the St George Association with juniors. As was expected, there were some issues that were worked through as the season progressed.
However, the greatest challenge this season was the forced adoption of the PlayHQ platform for the Associations and Cricket Clubs throughout NSW. What a debacle – it was forced on us all without consultation, without it being fully developed (and it still isn’t) and at a great cost, which was passed on through every person’s registration.
The Junior and Master Blasters programs throughout the Association were very poorly supported, but we managed to run an 8-week program prior to Christmas and a six week program in February/March
Our junior teams – Stage 1, Stage 2 (U12) and U17s all played their hearts out, but the teams were all very short of players throughout the season – we are actively looking for other players ahead of the 2023-24 season.
Going into the finals, both our 2nd and 6th Grade senior sides found themselves in their respective elimination semi-finals and won them well. 2nd Grade scored 9/201 on Day 1 of their preliminary final against Sydney Risers and headed into Day 2 looking well placed. The match came down to the wire, with our side suffering a devastating loss with 3 balls to go. Well done team on a well fought match.
After making the semi-finals by scraping into 4th place on the ladder in their last round match, and winning their semi-final, our 6th Grade team also won their Preliminary Final and found themselves in the Grand Final confronting De La Salle Kingsgrove, who were minor premiers by a big margin. In extremely hot conditions on both days, the team which had 7 players aged in their 50s and one in his 60s and a smattering of younger legs, really dug in and scored 202 runs on Day 1 and got DLS all out for 167no on Day2 – VICTORY. Congratulations to Captain, Rob and Manager, Chris. You deserved your post-match celebrations at Firestone that evening.
The 2023 Masters Cup (Over 35s Super 8s) are due to run from May until the end of July at Vale of Ah and promises to be loads of fun, as usual. The grounds which were severely flooded last season currently look an absolute picture.
We look forward to holding our Presentations during winter and will start signing on for the next summer comp from 1 July 2023 (online) – just visit the Play Cricket site and enter your postcode and Revesby Workers’ Cricket Club will be one of your options, which I hope you will choose!

FOOTBALL (SOCCER)
Liaison Director: Daryl Melham (interim)
The 2023 season is just getting underway. Revesby Workers’ Football Club is made up of 36 teams from 6s to 45s in juniors, seniors, ladies, mixed and men’s competitions, consisting of just over 550 members. We are again fielding strong teams in both the men and women premier league competitions, the highest level of football on offer within the Bankstown District. Once again we need to thank our ever-hardworking Committee Coaches and
Managers for working with us to get everything up and running.
This year is our 60th anniversary year. Keep your eye on social media for details about our celebration event to be held on 20 May 2023 at Marco Reserve. Along with our regular match day activities, we will have some exhibition matches, food, drinks, and inflatables for the young and young at heart. We are hoping to see many past members that day and look forward to a great catch up. As well as our celebration event, we will hold our Annual Trivia Night 29 July 2023 at the Revesby Workers’ Club. Look out for details of both on social media.
Over the summer period, we once again hosted a very successful female competition at Milperra Reserve. Milperra Reserve is now officially the home of Summer Football in Bankstown and hosted over 250 players. We are still looking to fill vacancies in some age groups and divisions. Please contact Dan on 0455 202 025 or Jo on 0410 649 784 for more information.
Thank you to the Board of Directors for their ongoing support and in particular Kylie Wilkinson MP who has an unwavering commitment to grassroots sports in our area and a personal dedication to working alongside us to offer our members yet another outstanding season of football.
See you out on the park!

Garden Club
Liaison Director: Christine Butters
The Garden Club opened the year in February by introducing the new committee for 2023. In lieu of a guest speaker we had videopics of our successful Christmas lunch. Kylie Wilkinson, a Revesby Workers’ Club Director also came to introduce herself as a candidate in the upcoming NSW State Election.
It was a joy to see the bargain plant table make its appearance again. Prices ranged from twenty cents (seeds and cuttings) to five dollars (established plants in pots), a great way to beautify one’s home! For those amateur gardeners, fear not, there are always experienced ones on hand to help out.
March marked our 34th birthday and once again, we had a table full of goodies for morning tea. Many thanks to everyone who contributed a plate! Our March guest speaker was bush Poet Ralph Scrivens. He dispelled the common misconception that bush poetry is only about the bush and the outback. His emotive voice and actions gave life to poems ranging from the poignant to the hilarious. Such was the audience appreciation that he is expected to make a comeback at the end of this year! April will usher in a totally different type of guest speaker – the Velobanjogent, a trio of banjo players! On 29 April, we look forward to having our Autumn Coach Tour to Red Cow Farm, renowned for its beautiful garden ‘rooms'. We will also visit the Moss Vale Services Club (lunch) and Mt Murray Hill Nursery. Our guest speaker for May will be astrophysicist Prof. Richard de Grijs. He is a member of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s Archaeology team. His topic will be ‘From the First Fleet to the Harbour Bridge’. Floral competitions for the month of May will centre around Mother’s Day to honour all mothers out there. Happy Mother’s Day!
For June we have earmarked Cleo Lynch as guest speaker. After retiring from the NSW Department of Corrective Services, she became a writer and a volunteer TAFE tutor. She is also a radio reader for the print handicapped. June also marks our celebration of Friendship Day. As the Garden Clubs of Australia’s (GCA) motto is “Friendship through Gardens” we always invite GCA members from other clubs to join our meeting.
In July, another interesting guest speaker will be on our list. Variety is the spice of life and that is what we always aim for! Our monthly floral competitions and raffles are still in full swing. Everyone is invited to our meetings, which are held on the first Saturday of each month at the Workers Club, from 10am to 12pm.
For more information, visit our website www.rwcgarden.com
At the time of submitting this report, we had recently received sad news of the passing of our ex-President, Priscilla Duncan, in March. She will be remembered for her efficiency and dedication to her position. May Priscilla Rest in Peace.

MARINE RESCUE HAWKESBURY Liaison Director: Christine Butters
The Hawkesbury Unit had a very busy summer season with everything from a snake relocation to stingray attack.
In January we were tasked by The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) after a satellite Mayday signal was received from a Personal Locator Beacon. Marine Rescue Hawkesbury was first on scene and later joined by Marine Area Command and Polair. Thankfully it was a happy ending for all involved including much loved Fletcher the dog. We also provided marshalling assistance in the Sydney to Hobart, Sydney Harbour NYE, The Big Swim, and the Sydney Paddle Series Palm Beach Pursuit. As the boating season ends and we head into the cooler months it is a good idea to take the time and update any safety equipment. This includes downloading the latest version of the Marine Rescue NSW App which has recently been upgraded with several new features including interactive maps, weather, and safety checklists.
If you would like to support Marine Rescue Hawkesbury please contact us at hawkesbury@marinerescuensw.com.au.

Swim Club
Liaison Director: Christine Benham Revesby Workers Swim Club and it’s 114 competitive members have had a successful summer campaign and it is great to see more racing post the disruptions of COVID.
Open Water Nationals took place this year in Busselton, WA. Our swimmers posted some strong results while dealing with stingers, jelly fish and extreme heat. Congratulations to both Nicholas Macher achieving silver in the 15yrs 5km and Johan Briedenhann achieving bronze in the open multi-class swim.
Great effort by our junior mixed relay team who came away with the silver medal. The team consisted of Rishabh Arcot, Nicholas Macher, Miriam Gauld and Abbie Clay.
Open State was an opportunity for our senior swimmers to prepare for Nationals in April. We had some great performances across the board and exciting to see our Australian Dolphin Abbey Connor win the 200m Butterfly. Congratulations to our relay girls – Kate Edwards, Kirrily Edwards, Emily Maythers and Abbey Connor who won the gold in the 4x100m freestyle relay and bronze in the 4x100m medley relay. 23 of our junior swimmers competed at the Junior State Championships at the end of March and we are extremely proud of their efforts. We had a lot of PBs, top 10 finalists and medal winners. Special mentions to our medallists – Samuel Skrabak with 3 x silver and 1 x bronze, Jayden Schipp with 2 x silver and 1 x bronze, Thomas Valassis with 2 x silver and 1 x bronze and Jasmine Bochenek with 1 x bronze.
Our relay boys also came away with a bronze medal. Well done to Jayden Schipp, Patrick Richards, Samuel Skrabak and Tom Longbottom.
We wish our 20 swimmers competing across the month of April in Age, Open and MC Nationals all the best.
