State Government denies health savings By BRAD PERRY THE State Government has denied that the Riverland health system will come under review, with the efficiency of three metropolitan local health networks currently being looked at. SA Health engaged Deloitte and KPMG to review
the efficiency of the Northern, Central and Southern health networks with the report proposing savings including a reduction in the number of hospital beds and full-time staff. However, a spokesperson for Health Minister John Hill said country health will not come under
a similar review. “Country Health SA was not included in the reviews put forward for consultation last week and there are no plans for an external review of country health services,� they said. ■Continued Page 4
Nine arrested, drugs seized in operation NINE people have been arrested and a significant quantity of drugs and cash has been seized as part of an operation targeting illicit drugs in the Riverland. As a result of the operation, two grams of methamphetamines, 262 ecstasy tablets, two kilograms of
dried cannabis and $6000 in cash was confiscated. Police charged nine men, eight from Renmark and one from Mildura, with offences including drug trafficking. Seven cannabis expiation notices and one drug diversion also resulted from the operation.
A number of premises were searched with the operation targeting the trade of illicit drugs between Victoria and South Australia.

THE Governor of South Australia Kevin Scarce was among the guests who attended the official opening of Orana’s $950,000 disability accommodation in Loxton on Friday. The development features two new buildings, including one premises classified as a level four for those people with severe medical/health conditions. Orana state manager of accommodation John Haren said the new facility is a positive step forward for disability services in regional South Australia. “It’s really exciting for Orana because this has been a project that we’ve been working on for a couple of years and really it attends to the needs of the community in terms of providing services for people with intellectual disability,� he said. “From Orana’s perspective we really want to invest our resources in the Riverland. “We already have a presence here and we already see this as the next stage of our presence and our investment in the Riverland area. “The people who will live here will be from the area and

they will be able to stay in the area and have the family support and the other community support that they already enjoy. “There has been a lot of discussion at the national level of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, so we are really pleased we are able to open that in this week when there is so much focus on disability. “We think this is a platform that can be built upon in South Australia to really address the needs of people with disability.� Dignity for Disability MLC Kelly Vincent, who also attended the opening, said the new facilities will make a huge difference in the lives of those who live at Orana. “I think it is no secret that in a state like South Australia where we’ve historically been so desperately under resourced and under funded those problems are obviously going to be exacerbated for people living in regional areas simply because they are away from the centre where they can access those services more readily,� she said. “This services eight people out of the roughly 1000 people who

YOU have to take your hat off to someone who is willing to take the risks that Berri man Stefan Hirschi is taking. He has given up a high profile job to pursue his passion of art. Many people would not be that brave but he has the backing of his family and the drive to turn his art into a career. I know personally when I go on holiday, a photograph is a lasting memory. Let’s hope tourists feel the same way about Stefan’s new venture and take his artwork home as a lasting reminder of the region.

Move over Kangaroo Island? MOVE over Kangaroo Island, the Riverland could be the next prime South Australian holiday hot spot. About 45 tourism operators and key stakeholders attended the inaugural Destination Riverland Tourism Forum in Berri yesterday where they were told the South Australian Tourism Commission is looking for new areas of the state to focus on. “I think what we realised is we have got an opportunity here,� Destination Riverland executive officer Tony Sharley said. “The South Australian Tourism Commission are saying that it’s going to be lifting its focus off just solely Kangaroo Island as a region and they are going to be looking for more stories and interesting product in other regions of South Australia. “That is a huge opportunity for us to be part of those new stories, so that came through loud and clear.� During the forum, panelists

in the plan. “For example, making sure that with all of our food and wine food promotions in the region, what we do is we build in seasonal themes and I think that is absolutely right. “The word is that we’ve got some great produce but difficult to find and rather than throwing that all back on a small pro-

ducer, let’s work out how we can facilitate that.� With the Riverland’s first five star accommodation to be built in Paringa, Mr Sharley said the service around the region needs to be raised. “There were some points made around the room that the region is now moving into an era where we are going to see some luxury accommodation develop,� he said. “We are effectively going to create an expectation by having five and six star accommodation that there is something here that is pretty special and we’ll have to deliver on that. “That’s going to require some training, some skill development and achieving some standards but that’s ultimately what we want.� Mr Sharley said Destination Riverland will hold more forums covering topics such as event management, food and wine, e-commerce and eco-tourism.

■NEW ROLE: Renmark’s Anne Ruston at her business on Monday after being voted in to fill Mary-Jo Fisher’s Senate position. THE Riverland’s very own senator Anne Ruston has wasted no time in declaring she plans to fight for rural and regional South Australia. Ms Ruston was selected by the South Australian Liberals to replace outgoing Senator Mary-Jo Fisher in Adelaide on Friday night. While the owner of Ruston’s Roses may not officially take up the position until as late as September, Ms Ruston has made her intentions clear. “I’d like to look after the constituencies of rural and regional South Australia and small business and make sure that we start creating a better environment for those two sectors to actually start succeeding again because they are just so overburdened with
taxes and workplace relations laws and red tape and green tape,� she said. “Specifically I’d like to see a resolution to the Murray Darling Basin Plan issue as soon as possible as we are sick of the uncertainty surrounding not knowing how much water we are going to have into the future. “Until we get that fixed we are living in this no man’s land but subsequent to that it would be really good to start seeing a fair share of infrastructure funding being directed to regional areas.� Ms Ruston won the Friday night selection comprehensively, attracting a large portion of the 208 delegates who vote. She said an advantage was
her real life experience working in politics and in small business in the country. “It was quite overwhelming really to have been elected so convincingly but it is also pretty humbling to realise the responsibility that so many people have placed in you,� she said. “I can’t imagine how many phone calls, text messages, emails and the like that I’ve had and it has just been fantastic.� Ms Ruston said she will set up an office in the Riverland. “I didn’t want it to be in Adelaide and it just makes sense for me to have it in the Riverland because that is where I live and that’s where I want to remain living,� she said.

Nine arrests in police drug operation in the Riverland n From Page 1 Officer in charge of the Murray Mallee Local Service Area Superintendent Ian Parrott praised the officers for assisting to prevent drug activity in the region. “Illicit drugs are intrinsically linked to crime,” he said. “The excellent results achieved by the good work of the officers involved will greatly assist in the disruption of illicit drug activity in the region. “These operations are a regular occurence in the Riverland to not only disrupt this activity but also to detect illicit drug activity. “I encourage members of the public to advise the police of any information relating to illicit drugs.” Anyone with information on the manufacturing or distribution of illicit drugs should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Lasting memorial unveiled

A LASTING memorial to recognise the 339 Australian servicemen who were killed in the Korean War was unveiled last week. The Korea and South East Asia Forces Association Riverland Branch officially opened the stone monument near the Berri Marina in front of a small gathering. President Bill Robinson said the project has taken almost four years to complete. “It’s a credit to anybody that has had anything to do with it,” he said. “This would have never of happened it weren’t for the people who put their time and effort into it. “It’s a closure for those who

Morgan’s ‘Cowboy’ Way, who came to see the memorial unveiled, said it was great to see something honouring those who lost their lives at war. “I come from Morgan, it is a long drive up but I didn’t want to miss it today,” he said. Mr Way was part of the Royal Australian Regiment in 1952-53 in what he described as a “big adventure”. “I stuck it out for the first three months and I was wound-

then is an internal review of some kind underway and will some of the savings and initiatives we’ve seen in Adelaide be carried over into country hospitals?” he said. “I make the observation that so far we’ve had reports on the northern, southern and
the central Adelaide health services, what about Country Health SA and what about the Women’s and Children’s Health Service? “Are there further reports coming in two to three months on those two health services with a view to job cuts and savings?”
Fruit fly bin upgrades THE State Government has upgraded a temporary plastic fruit fly quarantine bin on the Sedan to Swan Reach Road as it continues to be cautious of the threat. Biosecurity SA manager of plants and food standards Geoff Raven said the temporary bin has been replaced with a permanent in ground pit. “We’re always looking for options to enhance our infrastructure in the quarantine zone leading into the Riverland area,” he said. “Over a period of over five or six years we’ve updated our sign packages and updated the quarantine disposal pits. “We’re looking to upgrade those temporary facilities wherever funds allow us to and this was an opportunity that came our way so we did that.” “They (the quarantine bins) are used on a regular basis. “For instance if we run a media campaign or something of that nature leading up to Easter, we’ll notice that after Easter, the bin up at Blanchetown will be overflowing and will need some attention.” Mr Raven said there are no plans to add any more quarantine bins in the Riverland. “I think we’ve got most of the roads covered now,” he said. “The next season will be no different to the last as there is a

Fourteen nominations received for new South Australian fruit body
Citrus industry to move forward FOURTEEN nominations were received for the seven positions on the state’s new citrus body, the South Australian Regional Advisory Committee (SARAC). Applicants were chosen during a meeting at the Loxton Research Centre on Monday but will not become official until signed off by the State Government. The new committee is part of a major overhaul of South Australia’s $350 million citrus industry. SARAC will be established as the regional arm of Citrus Australia
Limited and will replace the Citrus Industry Development Board and Citrus Growers of South Australia

is an air of despondency amongst growers which doesn’t enthuse them to get involved,” he said. It is understood the committee is made up of two representatives
from the South Australian Citrus Industry Development Board, two representatives from Citrus Growers of South Australia and one representative from Citrus Australia. Mr Andrew said forming SARAC is a strong move for the future of the citrus industry in the state.“It will mean a better relationship than we’ve ever had before with Citrus Australia because it becomes an advisory committee to Citrus Australia,” he said.
“Given that 94 per cent of the fruit bagged and boxed in South Australia is sold outside of the state, I think a good relationship with Citrus Australia is essential if we are to have a future.”

Stefan follows his dream into the art world BERRI man Stefan Hirschi has certainly taken a leap of faith. Not a leap of faith based on hope but on his passion to succeed as a visual artist. Stefan recently resigned from his high profile executive position to start a career as an artist, something he has wanted to do since his teenage years. While he has the backing of his family and partner Caroline, Stefan is venturing into a part of life he has always wanted to pursue but was always too busy to. “Over the past six months it was something that has been brewing,” he said. “I came to the realisation that I’ve worked so hard, I’ve got to the top of the tree and then you look around and you go ‘it’s not really as fulfilling as you think it is’. “I thought now is the time. “I’ve got this opportunity to submerse myself into something that I’m very pas-

BRAD PERRY sionate about and living in the region as fabulous as the Riverland, there is so much industrial art and machinery and scenery as a whole to take photos of and that this is the perfect start for me.” Stefan creates what he describes as fusion art photography where he alters the normal appearance of the photograph to create something unique. From taking photos of old abandoned car wrecks in vineyards to industrial signs, Stefan believes he has found his calling. While he has no regrets, Stefan said the decision to leave his job and set up his own gallery at The Riverland Complex in Berri was not easy. “I did have lengthy pondering thoughts about the
risk that is there of leaving a well paid job and going into something that most people will look at you like you’ve either lost the plot or think this is a midlife crisis,” he said. “It was just one of those times in life where you just go ‘wow, this can’t all just be happening for no reason’. “I finally gave myself the push and decided I’d hang up my old business life and have a red hot crack at it. “It is an exciting journey, a once in a lifetime adventure.” Holding a public exhibition at The Riverland Complex during the end of August, Stefan then hopes to take his art across Australia and then the world, including to London, Switzerland and Spain. “I thought this would be an opportunity to highlight the Riverland as a region as well, through art and by giving the people a chance to see what it’s all about,” he said. “I hope that I can leave a little bit of a mark.”

While the extension was officially opened by Senator Anne McEwan on June 15, members of the Loxton Christmas Lights Committee felt it was important to give residents the opportunity to view the facility and meet volunteers. The project was funded through the Federal Government’s Regional Local Community Infrastructure Program, with funds also contributed by the committee.

Raising awareness of homelessness DURING national Homeless Persons Week beginning on Monday, Riverlanders are being urged to “open their eyes” and realise the amount of people in the region living without a roof over their heads. Combined Churches Welfare chair Pastor Tim Klein said many residents are not aware that there are so many people sleeping rough in the region. “It’s very important in the sense that it is to open the eyes of members of the community to realise that we can go home to our snug beds in our airconditioned warm homes and there are people out there who just can’t do that,” Pastor Klein said. “It is a reflection on our community about how we deal with people who are out there on the fringes. “Awareness is the first step towards assisting homeless people and the better we do that as a community, I think the healthier the community we are.” Through a number of welfare agencies in the Riverland, swags and tents have been used to assist homeless people in the region over the past 12 months. Recent Riverland statistics for ac.care’s homelessness services (delivered in alliance with Salvation Army)
showed that up until March this year, 339 clients had been attended to with the youngest being 13 years of age. “The majority of our clients actually have somewhere to go but there are some who are travelling through and camp down on the river,” Pastor Klein said. “People arrive in the Riverland and they have no housing plan and they can’t find anywhere and they can’t afford it so we will provide them with a tent. “Through rotary clubs of the Riverland, we’ve had a supply of homeless swags...and we have given away a pallet of those swags between the agencies across the Riverland over the past three or four years.” Pastor Klein said he hopes people can become more aware of the situations of homeless people during the week which highlights the problem. “I’ve had conversations with people and they’ve heard some of the statistics and they said they didn’t even know there were homeless people in the Riverland,” he said. “But if you talk to the council general officer, he can tell you he’s trying to keep track of homeless people up and down the river in different places. “There are people with addictions
and dependencies, there are sometimes young people who runaway from home, there are a number of different reasons out there.” A homeless person in Berri, who did not wish to be named, said keeping warm during cold mornings and nights is often scary. “I’ve been trying to keep as warm as I could,” they said. “It’s very serious not to have a home to go to and to have a friend to talk to.” The homeless person said they have spent a number of nights camping at different spots, including on the banks of the River Murray. The person said the help they are receiving from local welfare groups is keeping them going. “They (welfare groups) have taken a weight off my shoulders because they are not blaming me for being homeless,” the person said. Pastor Klein said many homeless people have pet dogs to keep them company. “A number of the homeless people have a dog just so there is something else there to give them a bit of comfort or company and we’re finding it’s important to keep some dog food and cat food in our emergency relief,” he said.
Waikerie’s own travel agency

Push for online bookable
■ VILLA: State regional development minister Gail Gago and Pike River Villas owner Andrew Caire outside one of the new luxury accommodation options in the region last year. Photo: BRAD PERRY
FIGURES have revealed that the Riverland is the second lowest region in business participation for on-line bookings systems in South Australia with just 16 of 152 bookable via the Australian Tourism Exchange. The figures demonstrate a growing need for more online options in the region as highlighted by Destination Riverland in its recently released 20122015 Strategic Plan. Pike River Villas owner Andrew Caire said his business could potentially be 15 per cent down without offering the online booking option. “We would be down I’d say 10 or 15 per cent,” he said. “That is probably going to increase as people just become more reliant on just using the internet to book and not worrying so much about having direct contact with the accommodation providers.” The villas were recently upgraded with help from the State Government’s $20 mil-
Murray cod season closure now in place AFTER a successful second season of the Murray Cod catch-and-release program, PIRSA Fisheries and Aquaculture is reminding the state’s recreational fishers of the annual season closure that will remain in place during the peak spawning season. PIRSA’s Executive Director of Fisheries and Aquaculture Professor Mehdi Doroudi said the Murray Cod is an extremely important species to recreational fishers and to the River Murray community in general. “From August 1 to December 31 2012, the Murray Cod fishery will be completely closed,” he said. “Fishers are not permitted to target the species during the season closure. “The ban on trolling from a moving vessel for all freshwater fish species in the River Murray and its anabranches is also in place during this period.”
Trolling is the use of a baited fishing line or lure that is trailed through the water from a moving vessel. Professor Doroudi said Murray Cod numbers have declined significantly since European settlement. Contributing factors include habitat loss, barriers to fish movement, introduced exotic species, disease, reduced environmental flows, water regulation and historical over-fishing. Professor Doroudi said that PIRSA has previously received reports from the local community of dead Murray Cod along the river during the spring spawning period. “I would like to thank the community for keeping us informed of their Murray
Cod observations,” he said. “As a result of these reports, some of these fish have been collected by the South Australian Research and Development Institute and have provided valuable information about the Murray Cod’s lifecycle. “We would like to encourage people to continue reporting these sightings to FISHWATCH by calling 1800 065 522.” PIRSA is currently reviewing management measures for the 2013-14 season.
lion Riverland Suistainable Futures Fund. Mr Caire said a number of bookings are made online on a consistent basis. “If they are confident with what they are doing they can just book their way in and it makes it very easy for us to follow up and send them directions and any final details so they know how to get to us,” Mr Caire said. “We are just expecting things to start to increase as far as occupancy within the next couple of years and when the next two villas are finished early next year, we’ll hopefully be see-
ing a lot more occupancy up at the Pike.” Destination Riverland chair Joan Hall said encouraging more tourism businesses to become online bookable in the region will be significantly beneficial. “The objectives of getting online bookable and e-commerce and having a digital marketing campaign, those sorts of things you just need determination to get them moving,” she said. There is also a push to bring more houseboat operators into the world of online booking.

‘STRIKING’ OPPORTUNITY! EOI - FOR SALE
Bicycle on offer to boost immunisation numbers IN A bid to boost immunisation numbers in the Riverland, children who receive their 12 and 18 month immunisations on time now have the opportunity to win a bicycle. The Riverland Division of General Practice, in conjunction with Riverland Medical Clinics and the Renmark Paringa Council, recently launched a “Win a Bike” competition, where two winners from each medical clinic will each receive a brand new bike. To enter, children will need to present for their immunisations within 30 days of their first birthday or within 30 days of turning 18
months of age. The promotion aims to combat complacency and ensure parents get their children immunised at this crucial time. Berri Medical Clinic General Practitioner Doctor John Penna said the immunisation rates for 12 to 18 month olds have significantly dropped, leaving Riverland children exposed to the threat of a preventable disease. “When there is a lack of disease in the community, it is very common for people to get complacent and the immunisation rates for these diseases drop, which is concerning,” Dr Penna said. “Immunisation plays an
important role in protecting the health of individuals and the entire community. “Completing the childhood immunisation program on time will ensure all children in the Riverland region are protected.” Immunisations due at 12 months include measles, mumps, rubella, meningococcal and hepatitis B. Chicken pox is due at 18 months of age and is one of the immunisations that is most commonly forgotten. Immunisations as part of the national program are free. For more information call your local medical clinic.

New solar system ideal for homes and factories WITH power prices soaring and businesses looking for solutions to their energy costs, the perennial problem of installing solar panels on flat-roofed commercial sites and family homes just became easier and less expensive. The German Iliofix system, which allows solar panels to be mounted on flat roofs without compromising the roof’s structural rigidity or water proofing, is now available in South Australia.
Solar installation firm Newman Mundy Electrical said the aerodynamically optimised designed Iliofix system can also be installed quickly and efficiently. “A team of three professionals can install a 10.12 kwp photovoltaic mounting system in as little as 1.5 hours,” business owner Newman Mundy said. “A photovoltaic system of the same size using normal fixings could have taken as long as three days.”
Iliofix has revolutionised the way photovoltaic panels can be mounted on flat or sloped metal roofs. The panels are fixed to a light-weight mounting system and designed to be drawn down to the roof under high wind situations. While there are obvious benefits for large, industrial applications, the Iliofix system can also be used on homes. For more information contact Newman Mundy today on 0433 349 433.

Testing family values IN a play described as a satirical comedy, Let The Sunshine takes the audience on a journey where young and old and family values come into question. The award winning play, written by Australian playwright David Williamson, is set in Noosa on the Sunshine Coast and revolves around two families, different ideals and clashing personalities. The plot involves Toby and Ros, who are retired left wing radicals who flee Sydney to escape scandal. Ros meets an old school friend Natasha, who is married to wealthy property developer Ron but the couples seem to have little in common. That is until the couples’ children fall in love and that is when each relationship needs to be rethought. Ally Fowler, who plays Natasha, stars alongside well known Australian actor Peter Phelps. Ally first auditioned for the play after seeing it premiere in Sydney and she related to the great plot and humour that David Williamson creates. “My character is married to an extremely wealthy property developer called Ron, who is played by Peter Phelps,” she said. “At the heart of it is a very nice woman who has raised a child but lives with this rather bombastic, racist, bully of a man, so that can’t be easy. “It is essentially about two very different families.

“You have the right wing family which is us, the very wealthy aspirational couple from Noosa and you have the very worthy, left wing couple from Sydney who have moved up to Noosa. “Their two children meet and fall in love and it’s about how the two families have to get along for the greater good of their kids.” Ally, who has played alongside Peter Phelps on television, said the pair have great chemistry on stage. “Our paths are always kind of crossing,” Ally laughed. She said the audience will really identify with the plot and the characters in Let The Sunshine. “Anything to do with family is often incredibly funny because family dynamics are everything, so tragic but yet so funny at the same time,” Ally said. “I think the audience will absolutely identify with it and they’ll really just laugh their heads off and they will be so glad they came. “When you do a comedy it is a lot of fun to have an audience right there packing up at what you’re doing.” It is not too late to book tickets or attend tonight’s performance of Let The Sunshine at 8pm at the Chaffey Theatre in Renmark, contact 8586 1800. ■ BIG NAMES: Australian actors Peter Phelps and Ally Fowler play main characters in David Williamson’s Let The Sunshine performing at the Chaffey Theatre tonight.
Roadtrip inspires play Rocket Town IT was on a roadtrip that writer/ producer Emily Steel discovered a little town called Woomera in the heart of outback South Australia. Having just moved to Adelaide from London, Woomera, where people come and go, intrigued her. This is where the idea for the play Rocket Town came about, exploring how the environment can affect relationships. “I had recently moved over to Adelaide from London and I went on a roadtrip, which there wasn’t really a plan to stop at Woomera but we stopped at Woomera and it just seemed like this extraordinary old town,” Rocket Town writer and producer Emily Steel said. After pitching the idea for a play based around the South Australian
town, Emily ventured back to interact further with the locals. “The story I was seeing was about the young people there and the really good things about living in Woomera where they are very free and they can do whatever they want,” she said. “But on the other hand, they lose a lot of friends and teachers, nobody stays and there are hardly any people there, so it is kind of isolated.” From this intrigue came Rocket Town, based around two 15-year-olds in Jess and Josh who are growing up in Woomera. The plot revolves around being young and isolated in a town in the middle of the desert where rockets explode on the test range, hardly anyone hangs around and there is a
need to make your own fun. The award winning play received many accolades as part of the 2011 Adelaide Fringe Festival. “I think the play was a little bit unusual in that there doesn’t seem to be that many plays telling local South Australian stories,” Emily said. “You are always a little bit afraid that if you write something that is inspired by a real place, that the people who live there aren’t going to like it but they were actually really positive and I think they felt there was some truth in it to them.” Rocket Town will be shown at the Renmark Institute on August 6 at 7pm. Bookings can be made through the Riverland Youth Theatre on 8586 3437.

A CAPACITY field of 190 players competed in the 36 hole IGA Loxton Open on Saturday and Sunday featuring four grades for men and two grades for ladies. In top conditions, the course proved to be challenging with difficult pin placements and speedy greens meaning only a few players were able to break the handicap. Coming home with one over par on Sunday, Loxton’s Kym Rivett, a former Open and Club Champion, was crowned the winner ahead of Pinnaroo’s Tim Atze on a count back after both players finished on 151 strokes. Rivett fought back from four strokes behind on Saturday to catch Atze. It was on the back nine where he did his best work, birdying the 11th, 13th and 17th holes. He had earlier birdied on the third and sixth holes as well, with the highlight being his birdie at the sixth which included a tap in put after his previous shot came within six inches of the hole. Shaun Harris won the B grade, Justin Murray took out the C grade and former Loxton resident Brooke Fogden won the D grade event. In the ladies competition, Loxton’s Marlene Tyler was the successful champion securing her 12th title for the third consecutive year. She finished eigh strokes

clear of Kerrin Williams with a score of 168, which included consistent driving, and reliable putting. In the B grade, Patty Fournaros-Carney, of Loxton, was the winner by 10 strokes ahead of former Loxton member Lyn Bott. Winners shared in prizes to the value of $6000 with the event sponsored for the 10th time by the local IGA. D Grade winner, Brooke Fogden, also enjoyed success in Friday’s Men’s Pinehurst, teaming up with Mick Menzies to win the event by more than one stroke. Patty Fournaros-Carney, the Ladies B Grade winner, did the same when she teamed up with Mark Evans to easily win the mixed event by seven strokes.

RIVERLAND INDEPENDENTS - ROUND FIFTEEN MATCH OF THE ROUND
Paringa v Cobdogla WITH just three rounds remaining in the Independent competition, every game for Cobdogla is like a final. The battle for fourth position is likely to come down to the wire with the Eagles facing Paringa, Ramco and also having a bye. The other two teams vying for a finals spot are Lyrup, which plays Moorook-Kingston and
East Murray as well as having a bye, and Brown’s Well, which plays Ramco, BSR and Wunkar. It would seem that Cobodgla must win one of its two finals matches to cement its place in the finals. Coming up against Paringa is no easy task, despite the Swans slipping back to second position. With close to 30 players on the training track at the moment, there is a good feeling around the Paringa Football Club. Jesse Watson is expected to return this round af-
THE OTHER GAMES
ter a lengthy break, while Tom Wood, Mick Miller and Duane Angel could all be up for selection. For the Eagles, Deane Mitchell and Paul Ryder will be tested at training. We have been impressed by Cobdogla’s use of the football but it is time to dig deep. Tyson Maynard and Luke Paterson could play challenging roles on the likes of Chris Gardner and Andrew Lloyd in the middle. Josh Wiseman has provided rebound from half back, along with Luke
Wegener but they may be influenced by Nick Dillon, Sam Frahn and Nathan Rover. Cobdogla coach Brad Gillespie said playing colts could provide a more mobile forward line. “A lot of size matchups will be similar this week,� he said. Finals is on the minds of the Paringa team, according to coach Arrod Westley. “As a playing group we’ve looked past the next couple of weeks,� he said. The Swans will be too good by nine goals.
THE OTHER GAMES
Brown’s Well v Ramco LAST time these two teams met, Ramco dominated the contest from the first bounce. However, this time around the Roosters are travelling to Brown’s Well and the result should be much closer. The Bombers have won five out of their past six games, while the Roosters have been one of the form
teams of the competition. George Fieldhouse and James Raggatt will be available for Brown’s Well, whlie Adam Flavel is out for the rest of the season with injury and Mark Tootell is away with work. The Bombers are hopeful of retaining the services of spearhead forward James Fiegert. For Ramco, Grant Francis and Scott Marr will be options to return to the team, while young Liam Howe will miss the rest of
the season after breaking his wrist. Jamie O’Callaghan and Brian Hampel will duel in the ruck, while Jock McNeil and Daniel Conely could provide an exciting contest. Competition leading goalkicker Max Baddack is almost impossible to match up on and it would not surprise us if Geordie Franks got that job. Brown’s Well coach Lance Degenhardt said more consistency
is required. “I’m going to employ different tactics than I have been this weekend,� he said. Ramco coach Andrew Bevan said it is not going to be an easy task with the team beginning to think about finals. “We want to start playing our finals side in the next couple of weeks,� he said. Ramco should finish with a fluster and win by six goals.
East Murrayy v BSR
Moorook-Kingston v Wunkar
INJURIES have plagued East Murray after a promising start to the season. Facing Blanchetown Swan Reach this round, the Tigers will need to improve their football to be in this match. The Redbacks regained top position on the ladder last round with a percentage boosting win. Playing the lowly MoorookKingston also gave BSR the chance to rest some players in the lead up to the finals. Chris Giles and Mark Coleman should return this round. Chris Rudiger has battled hard but he will have his work cut out against Troy Cowland or Dale Payne. Benjamin Whitehead and Kenneth Dixon will need to be watched closely by BSR. For the Redbacks, Max Martinson continues to be a focal point up forward. BSR coach Peter Zadow said it should be a good contest. “Us and East Murray have got a bit of a rivalry being neighbours for so long,� he said. BSR to win by 15 goals.
PRIDE is on the line when Wunkar travels to MoorookKingston this round. The Bulldogs have had a month where results have not gone their way and they will hoping for a big win against the Warriors. Blair Dillon is likely to miss the rest of the seasn with injury, while Paul Cooper was injured on the weekend but is likely to play. Ryan Dick, Joe Abdulla and Jarrod Munn could all be included in the team. Kenny Wright’s fitness will be tested before he is chosen to play this weekend. It has been a great effort tof the Warriors to put a team together after two forfeits and they will be hoping to impress on annual Captain’s Day. Wunkar has been best served by some wise heads in Daniel Evans, Sean Gray and Shane Schulz. Moorook-Kingston coach Cecil Rigney said a win would mean a lot to the club. “We want to beat them,� he said. Wunkar will be far too good in a 10 goal victory.
MALLEE FOOTBALL LEAGUE MATCH OF THE ROUND
Pinnaroo v Lameroo ! ! $ !&
$
! 8 $
WHILE Pinnaroo currently sits on the bottom of the ladder, it is a team that can produce an upset. That being said, Lameroo has begun to build good form leading into the finals despite a 10 point loss to BDT last round. The Supa Roos have felt the losses of Ryan Nickolls
and Sunyl Vogt, who have both missed large amounts of football this season. Tyron Bennetts has been one of Pinnaroo’s best players and he could contest with Shaun Walker this round. Clint Muster has been a good inclusion and Leith Dabinett is consistent. Anthony Lippis provided some added spark in his return with five goals last round but he will need to mark strongly against David
Philbey. The good news for the Hawks is Vaughan Noonan will return for the finals and Dan Wohling has returned to form. Lameroo forward Ricky Hunter could be due for a bag of goals this round. The Supa Roos have been competitive for a bottom team but Lameroo is gearing up for a shot at the flag, so we are tipping the Hawks to win by six goals.
GAME TWO
Murrayville v BDT INJURIES have certainly made Border Downs Tintinara vulnerable but it is still a team not to be reckoned with. Murrayville has been unpredictable this season but really needs to put some wins together to claim fourth position.

tain Nick Rees in the centre of the ground. The Bulldogs will need plenty from forwards Trent Sporn and Daniel Fry if they are to be a chance, with Chris Gregory and Lee Slape likely to get those roles. Murrayville defender Brad Wyatt should match up on Kevin Kock. There is a reason BDT is the top team and will win by 10 goals.
GAME THREE
"' /
Currently the Bulldogs sit almost seven per cent ahead of Peake and will need to maintain that percentage. BDT would have been thankful for the return of Patrick Barrett from West Adelaide to boost the midfield earlier in the season.

Peake v Karoonda ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S all or nothing for Peake in this contest against a Karoonda team still hunting top spot. The Lions have been bolstered by the return to form of Scott Feltus, who booted nine goals last round. He is sure to trouble the Magpie defence. Either Andrew Smithson or Daniel Thiele should get
the match-up on Feltus. Robert Brodhurst has also emerged as another potential avenue to goal. Caine Lynn could also play forward against Karoonda. There are plenty of ball winners for Peake with Rick Berling, Lachlan Wilson, Salim Hassan and Patrick Casey all capable. They will face the likes of Ben Quinn, Corey Knight, Zakk Bullard and Mark Corrie.
Unfortunately Karoonda will be without Josh Rudiger until the finals and Luke Hocking is still a week away from returning. In recent weeks, Ryan Paech has stepped up as a key forward with seven goals on the weekend. With a functioning forward line, Peake is certainly very dangerous but Karoonda has played some of the best football in the competition and should come out on top by five goals.

RIVERLAND FOOTBALL LEAGUE - ROUND MATCH OF THE ROUND
Berri v Waikerie WAIKERIE could just about seal the double chance with a win over Berri this weekend but it will not be easy. The Demons not only have home ground advantage but have won the past two encounters against Waikerie. In fact, Berri is the only team to beat the Magpies twice this season. Waikerie will be sweating on the fitness of a couple of players including Glen Schreiber and Jim Thomson. Three players on the injury list will also remain there with Craig Underwood a several weeks away from returning and Craig Wilson injuring an ankle and facing up to six weeks on the sidelines. Big man Matt Butcher has also played his last game for the club for at least two years as he is heading overseas. “He’s been a really great leader and has been good for the club and we wish him all the best,” Waikerie co-coach Craig Griffiths said. In the Berri camp, Kym Sampson and Brad Dolling will have fitness tests tonight. Ben Venning has been Waikerie’s focal point up forward and Steven Raeder is likely to get the job on him. The contest could to be won in the middle of the ground with firstly, Aaron Gepp and Craig Miller in the ruck. That should be a pretty even contest. On-ballers Damian Stevens, Matt Underwood, Tim Bevan and Michael
Bratton against Adam Beauchamp, Peter Safralidis and Darren Marner will make for an entertaining spectacle. Michael Bratton looms as a major problem for Berri’s attack. David Hankin and Jackson Sutton both have pace and would be ideally matched. Like Barmera-Monash, Waikerie has also found that teams are dropping spare defenders into their forward line. It will be interesting to see whether Berri does the same this round. Waikerie co-coach Craig Griffiths said the double chance is important. “We really want to secure that double chance and we haven’t done that yet,” he said. “It’s always been tough for us up at Berri.” Berri coach Alby Brand said players are beginning to return from injury, which is a good sign leading into finals. However, he said his forwards need to kick more goals. “Our conversion rate has been terrible,” he said. It is a big weekend for the Berri Football Club with the 1992 and 2002 premiership reunions and the Red and Blue Ball. “It is going to be a big weekend and hopefully we can have a win,” Brand said. “It’s always good when you have club reunions, it adds a little bit to the game and the guys stand an inch taller.” In a close contest, Waikerie is expected to run out winners by around three goals.

Loxton v BarmeraMonash
84/.
HI
I
PLAYING three of the four top teams in the final rounds means the task of climbing off the bottom of the ladder is going to be very tough for Loxton. On the other hand, Barmera-Monash has been relatively untroubled all season at the top of the table. It is top versus bottom in this encounter but the Tigers have the calibre to put up a good fight. Both teams are unlikely to make too many major changes, although Barmera-Monash welcomes back Murray Middleton, who was a late withdrawal last round. Luke Chamberlain and Josh Graetz will require fitness tests tonight but are likely to be available. The Loxton team will again be without defender Pat Por-
tolesi, who may now be out for the rest of the season with back problems. The Roos continue to grow in stature with Dillon Millard at his best and Michael Smart peaking at the right time. Marc Elliott returned forward last round with good effect. Loxton coach Mick Zerna said he has seen a large improvement since round one in the likes of Jarrod Milich, Michael Kirk, Josh Norman, Zac Kirk and Nathan Flight, to name a few. “We just want to keep improving each game, regardless of where we finish,” he said. Barmera-Monash coach Lyndon Burns said every team wants to beat the Roos. “We started to run and carry the football in the last quarter against Berri and it was exciting to watch,” he said. The Roos should win by 60 plus points.
LIFE FM 100.7 broadcast Berri v Waikerie
On THE mark All of the Riverland and Mallee football news, views and rumours WITH a bye at West Adelaide this round, Barmera-Monash coach Lyndon Burns will have to decide whether he alters his team to include Chris Bonney, if he is available. Burns said it is a difficult situation and one which may unsettle the team. While he enjoys having Bonney return home to play, he said being so close to the finals, Bonney may need to play B grade. AFTER what could be described as a rebuilding year at Loxton, coach Mick Zerna has worked hard to gain continued improvement from his young players. While official discussion about coaching next year is still quite a bit away, Zerna said he is keen
to put up his hand again. “I can’t see any reason why I wouldn’t at this stage,” he said. ONE of the Riverland’s most experienced trainers was recently struck down by health problems. We wish him a speedy recovery. FROM all accounts, Adelaide premiership players Peter Caven and Kym Koster enjoyed their time in the Riverland as part of the Riverland Crows Supporters Group annual event. The pair ended up at Rivaz Nightclub chatting to locals. Well done to the pair for making a weekend of it! TOM Hafey and Andrew Jarman are the guest speakers at this year’s Riverland football medal counts.
THE OTHER GAMES
Renmark v Loxton North LAST time these two teams met, Renmark prevailed in a highly entertaining affair. This time the circumstances are different with Renmark needing a win to keep its finals hopes alive. It could even be fair to say that the winner of this contest will finish in fourth position, given the draw for both teams. Loxton North has certainly had a better second half to the season with a more settled team, while Renmark continues to show patches of brilliant football. The Panthers will include another big man in Ben Whermuller this round, while doubts over Tim Arnold’s concussion were swept aside when he put the boots on against Loxton. Unfortunately Renmark
has lost promising youngster Jake Anspach, after he broke an ankle at training last week. Jayms Bleeze will also be sidelined after he broke a toe. Ben Wagnitz is likely to be an inclusion, while Trevor Thorpe is keen to return and Adam Bryant is still an unknown. “Thorpey is saying he wants to play,” Renmark coach Brett Blackwell said. It is four weeks since he injured his thumb and with no surgery required, Thorpe may lead his team for the last few games. Both teams have strong defensive structures with Russell Menz, Nathan Farr and Aaron Camplin all hard to get the football past. The Loxton North forward line with Tim Roberts floating across half forward, Justin Proud and Ben Walter will need to use their pace against the big men. “Nick Gillard, since coming back from his knee has really stepped up,”
Blackwell said. It is the youth that is giving Renmark hope. Jaryd Rowe has also been good in the midfield and could battle it out with Ryan Proud. The Panther goals have come from the midfield with Andrew Baker, Jamie Ferguson and Michael Scott contributing. Renmark coach Blackwell said the depth at the club in the B grade and under 18s has helped cover injuries. “If we could string a couple of wins together, we could have a late charge to the finals,” he said. Loxton North got over the line in a crunch game against Loxton on the weekend and coach Craig Wooldridge knows his team can continue to win. “It’s do or die for both teams,” he said. “I think if we win this weekend we’ll definitely be playing finals.” Loxton North has plenty to play for and will win by four goals.
RFL B GRADE WHILE the top two B grade teams have secured their spot in the finals, the race is on for third and fourth position. The big match this weekend is Renmark against Loxton North with a win to either team vital. The Panthers would have been disappointed to keep Loxton in the hunt in a nailbiter last round but will need to be at their best to beat the Rovers at home.
Brad Walter has possibly been Loxton North’s best player this season, while Ben Williams provides run off half back. Josh Deren will need to keep kicking goals up forward. Renmark has had plenty of contributors including Aaron Gill and Ben Files. The Rovers should win at home by four goals in a scrappy affair. In the other matches,
Loxton faces an uphill battle against Barmera-Monash. The Tigers have had Mal Hahn, Grant Dahlitz and Bronte Manuel in good form, while Corey Hanna kicked three goals last round for the Roos and Matthew Morrell has been solid. Waikerie, led by Michael Beelitz and Tyson Sutton, should easily defeat Berri, despite the efforts of Brett Duffin and Greg Eisenberg.

Berri, Barmera win easily
■ DOWN BUT NOT OUT: A Barmera United player appears to be in pain during the women’s soccer contest against Loxton United on the weekend. ■ UNLIKE the previous round of matches, scores down through the grades in last Sunday’s soccer program were, in the main, close. In fact on this occasion it was the men’s A grade games that were decided by significant margins with Berri River Rangers defeating Renmark Olympic 6-1 and Barmera United too good for an undermanned Loxton United 9-1. In the B grade, Berri (C. Stanton, M. Knight) drew with Renmark (J. Persinos, F. Catalano) 3-3, while in the women’s grade, Renmark (T. Makris, J. Thomas) defeated Berri (B. Caddy, M. Stewart) 3-2 and Barmera (C. Vithoulkas, E. Ryan-Colton) just outpointed Loxton (L. Tuhoro, K. Vallelonga) 1-0. Close finishes continued in the under 16s with Barmera (H. Stavrou, F. Ingenerf) defeating Loxton (W. Tyler, J. Jaensch) 3-2 and in a high scoring, quality contest, Renmark (B. Sicari, Y. Tragos) beating Berri (F. Perre, P. Katsaitis) 6-4. In the under 14s, A. Drogemuller, S. Burton and M. Burton were best afield
when Barmera No. 2 defeated Berri 3-2, while F. Catalano, M. Thomas and C. Bakaj starred when Renmark No. 1 just edged out Renmark No. 2, 3-2. The under 12 results included Berri No. 2 and Barmera No.1 drawing 2-2 (J. Westley, E. Gregoric, B. Koskinos) and Renmark No. 1 defeating Berri No. 1, 3-2 (C. Bond, A. Kudra, S. Crouch). In the men’s senior matches, Lenny Gadaleta scored the opening goal for Renmark but thereafter Berri, through Russel Frankel, Paul Eleftheriadis, Marcus Drogemuller, Tyson Schrapel, Steve Atkinson and Dale Harwood simply had too much fire power and class. Fourteen-year-old Ethan Cinc made an impressive debut for Olympic. Barmera also had far too much depth via names like Hamood, Tsorotiotis and the returning former association best and fairest Anthony Ielasi. For Loxton, who were best served by Geordie Franks and an under constant fire goalkeeper in Adrian Pipe.
A passion for basketball ■ THE previous occasion that I had spoken to outstanding young Renmark basketballer Nicole Seekamp was in mid 2011 when she was considering a number of offers of scholarships from universities in America. I telephoned her again last Monday afternoon back in South Australia after she had spent her first season with the South Dakota University, which she joined in September last year. “It is a full basketball scholarship which covers all of my expenses,” Nicole explained. As a youngster Nicole impressed locally in a number of sports but basketball has always been her main choice and after representing Riverland and state teams through the age groups, it was no surprise that she moved to Adelaide to play and caught the eye of selectors at national level. It was only a matter of time then that the potential of the young star was recognised by scouts from the USA college scene. In September 2011, she made the decision to move to South Dakota University to study and to pursue her dream of playing basketball at the very highest level.
■ YOUTH: Renmark’s Nicole Seekamp has come along way since this photo was taken in 2008. Nicole’s team at South Dakota plays in the top division of the Summit League Conference. It plays twice a week interspersed by extensive training and practice sessions. At the end of the regular competition the same teams play in a post season tournament with the winner taking part in the biggest college event in the USA, the NCAA tournament. So indeed, Nicole is already playing at an extremely high level.
I asked her about the structure of sport in America compared with here in Australia. “It is really about playing at high school and then college,” she said. “They don’t have nearly as much of the club situation as we do in Australia.” Nicole is back home on summer vacation but will return to America in two weeks to start pre season training. “I received a special deal to come home for the complete holidays as I do not get to see my parents at Renmark very much,” she said. “Most of the squad are required to return to the university at times during the break for training and to assist in coaching sessions for various schools.” But Nicole did not escape completely. She brought a weight and running program with her courtesy of her USA coaches. With three years of her scholarship to run, Nicole said how much she was enjoying life and basketball at South Dakota. Nevertheless, talking to this pleasant but determined and focused young lady, I believe she is also the type of person that inspired the lyrics of ‘I still call Australia home’.
McCauley wins Riverland Eightball Singles Championship ■ ALAN McCauley won the Riverland Eightball Singles Championship by beating Billy Maniatis on the weekend at the Barmera Hellenic Hall. In the quarter finals, Phil
Pfennig defeated Rose Rice, McCauley beat Neil Lemmey, Maniatis defeated Mick Papandrea and Daniel Stieler overcame Shawn Salmon. McCauley beat Phennig in the first semi-final and
Maniatis advanced to the grand final after knocking off Stieler. Meanwhile, in the Chris Schutz Cup Plate finals, Andrew Hambi defeated Evangelos Soulemzis.
London Olympics opening ceremony the greatest ever? ■ I DID not get to see much of the telecast of the opening ceremony of the London Olympics but of course under bombardment of follow up news coverage and replay on replay, one could not help but to get a pretty fair idea of how it all went. Then Sunday’s press confirmed a lot of those impressions. Firstly, it is obvious that England, despite its own pre-games concerns over transport and security issues and even its weather, had launched this major world event in spectacular fashion. So much so that the opening ceremony has been tagged ‘the greatest ever’. On the other hand, from the bit of television I did see I did not think our coverage got off to the same glorious start. My Sunday morning read also confirmed that Twitter had exploded with many sharing that view. Our officials strive to get our best athletes to represent our country but obviously that is not necessarily the approach of our television executives when they select their commentary team. Eddie McGuire has really
copped a serve over his bumbling commentary and surely fell well short of any podium finish. Reflecting on the opening ceremony itself, did I hear it said that the billions of small pieces of paper dropped to cascade over the stadium were representative of every person on Earth? I wonder if that made any of those people living in some of the war torn and poverty stricken countries of the world that McGuire focused on during his profiles of parading nations feel any better having their own little piece of paper flutter down on such an extravagant and expensive event? Also, I wonder where my piece landed? Perhaps it drifted off to the Lords Cricket Oval to remind me that the Poms hold the Ashes! Anyhow, isn’t it a pity that those individual bits of paper could not have carried the individual names of the world’s population? Meanwhile, in the early stages of the 2012 Olympic games, Queen Elizabeth has been portrayed as a star in proceedings and in a happy and proud mood.
But unfortunately that did not appear to be the case when the television cameras picked her up during that paper drop. Perhaps Her Majesty also was wondering where her piece was or more likely, who was going to clean up the litter in her historic capital city. England has made no secret since it was allocated the Olympic games that it wanted to succeed brilliantly both in the event’s presentation overall and in its host of competitions. It has spent big, it has recruited the best people from officials to sporting coaches, including a massive raid on the talent of its greatest rival – Australia. Let us give credit where it is due. In today’s world, getting such an enormous job done deserves every praise. But now we wait on the inevitable ‘best ever games’ claims. So let us put a biased view forward before they arrive. Wonderful ceremonies and smoothly run competition, in the most beautiful city and country in the world will always get the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games my vote.

A trip down memory lane ■ RECENTLY I drove to Tailem Bend and back and found myself turning the trip into a ‘sentimental sporting journey’. Down through Alawoona, where I played football for the local club in the 1960s after being cleared without any question or request for a transfer fee by Wunkar, past the oval of one of our opponents at Wanbi, then the home of the Mindarie-Halidon ‘Melbourne Cup of the Mallee’, and the Karoonda oval. Then on the trip home, I glanced briefly at a sign post to Paruna where I spent some memorable Legacy Days (that I find difficult to remember) at the golf course. My wife Coral and I used to stay at the farming property of friends Russell and Helen Smith for the weekend and Russell’s local knowl-
edge used to come in valuable as we returned from the day’s golf across farm land rather than taking the roadways. He certainly knew his way around the district better than he did around the Paruna golf course. Sunday’s drive, however, was filled with some sadness despite the wonderful memories. It was sad that the Paruna golf course is now closed, sad that the football teams in many of the little centres along the route are no lon-
ger and their ovals abandoned, sad in fact, that the towns themselves are only a memory of a flourishing yesteryear, that the Strawberry Fetes where we had to travel a legislated distance from the hall to enjoy refreshments of strength are no longer held. But the trip was not all doom and gloom as it was not difficult to celebrate that the annual Mindarie Halidon race meeting is still a jewel in the Mallee and that the spirit of the area’s people is alive and well as portrayed by the magnificent condition of Karoonda and its sports grounds after a lot of it was dismantled by a horrific storm a few years ago. The facilities at the oval and its surrounds are mindboggling. Much like the performance of the local football team, that after be-
ing near extinction not so long ago, performed the ‘impossible’ recently by defeating powerhouse team BDT. A lot of the wonderful memories from my time in the region also came flooding back. For example, the Wanbi Oval which is conveniently adjacent to the historic Hotel. The ground was no Lords but it did have a substantial slope to it. I seem to recall that rabbit warrens ‘up the hill’ had to be checked with regard to player safety prior to the game. And there was a game where a count of players by the umpire at one stage during play would have indicated a discrepancy on each side. Neither would have been over staffed but both short by one. You see Alawoona was not par-
ticularly strong at that stage and was getting a real belting from the locals, who had taken ownership of the ball in their forward territory. And it was bitterly cold. So much so, that the Alawoona full forward and opposing full back were in danger of being, surely, the first footballers to freeze to death during a game. The publican was surprised to serve two players in full togs but that mad dash for a quick brandy not only probably saved two lives but it obviously went unnoticed by the umpire, coaches and the other players involved in the game. Come to think of it, I don’t know about the goal umpire at that end. Mind you, he would have been cold too, so perhaps he had adjourned to his car.
Waikerie climbs to top position on the ladder after big win over rival Loxton in Riverland hockey ■ WAIKERIE grabbed top position on the men’s A grade hockey ladder after a comprehensive 5-1 win over rival Loxton at Glassey Park last Friday night. After Zac Bartsch scored the opening goal for Loxton, the reigning champion simply had no answer to the number of contributors for Waikerie and were put on the back foot by the non stop run of its opponent. Lachlan Seabrook’s dominance in the midfield not only gave him two goals but set up countless opportunities for Ryan Edwards, with three goals, and Jason Redemski (pictured) in attack. Michael Camilleri and junior Caleb Catford were also in exceptional touch for Waikerie. For Loxton, Dan Schubert battled
manfully in goals while veteran Tim Cass and Schubert worked hard. In Friday night’s women’s game Loxton efficiently disposed of Waikerie 4-0. Loxton continues to give the impression that all of these outings are about developing a game that could reward the big prize at season’s end. Mentor Billie Jo Hammerstein never stopped trying to bring others into play and with the non-stop run of Eloise Hampel giving her three goals and others like Steph Baird, Haylee Symens and Suzie Stivahtaris prominent, it was an impressive performance. For Waikerie Rachael Taylor, Kristen Pick and Thalia Boatswain were best players. On Saturday back at headquarters, Renmark won both senior
Barmera causes major upset ■ LAST week we reflected on the obvious improvement of Barmera under new management and with a new approach in the 2012 A1 netball season. Well, Barmera certainly confirmed that last Friday night when it defeated form side Berri in a thrilling contest 51-49. Berri had beaten 2011 premier Renmark and runner-up Loxton in the previous two outings and also last week we talked it up as a possible premier this season. On Friday night, Berri looked like going on its winning way with a promising opening quarter but when it fell into error in passing and around goals, Barmera took over. Goal shooter Cobie Drogemuller and goal attack Alice Kelsh were right on target and at the other end of the court any lack of height between Cheri Beech and Katie Saville was compensated by their tenacity in superb defensive efforts. The move of Jules Morgan to wing attack also paid off handsomely for Barmera as she became involved in some sensational attacking play. Berri, to its credit, did fight back from nine goals in arrears at three quarter time which was some reward for the efforts to inspire the team by Ellee Eleftheriadis and the stout defence of Nicole Hall. Introduced at half time, Kimberley Wade, followed later by junior Steph Sarro, also had an input into the lift.
way and its never give up attitude brought the team a reward with the final goal of the game. The Renmark versus Berri women’s game was almost the Juliet Mallinson show as she scored all of Renmark’s five goals in a 5-0 victory. The outstanding young prospect, in fact, made it 10 for the day after scoring five in the earlier under 16 girls competition. Berri also never stopped working hard in this game with Sarah Oldfield in goals, Jen Kiel, Emma Burge, Kristen Hibberd and juniors Ada Walladge and Kira McMahon continuing their consistent seasons. But in the end it found the brilliance of Mallinson, goal keeping of Tegan Moldovan and efforts of Ally Palat, Beck Keynes and Laura Strout too big an obstacle to overcome.
matches against Berri. In the men’s game, Renmark peppered the goals with Danial Shawyer and Matt Mallinson providing a lot of drive and Callum Benda (four goals) and Aden Shaw (three goals) making the most of the avalanche of opportunities. Young Shaw had netted the ball on four occasions in an earlier under 18 game. In its 9-1 victory Renmark gave sign that the new approach to learning and developing implemented under experienced coach Brett Stokes for 2012 may have an impact earlier than anticipated. On the other hand, Berri, despite the final scoreline, had brief flashes of brilliant play as it rebuilds. Tony Halupka, Dylan Couzner and Roly Beviss continue to lead the

Of the match-ups this weekend the stand out clash appears to be at Waikerie on Saturday when the home men’s team takes on Renmark.

Berri’s loss resulted in it losing second position on the ladder to Loxton which defeated Loxton North 52-42 in Friday night’s other game. Loxton was quick out of the blocks to lead by six goals at the first interval and with Alysha Proud’s accuracy in shooting for goal continuing, it held on to win a keenly contested event. Jackie Dahlitz was also a dynamo out of centre in an entertaining clash with outstanding North teenager Marlee George. Best players for Loxton North included defender Kerri Hutchinson and Erika Sporn in attack. Loxton’s form has been hard to follow in a puzzling season overall.
It now runs into new form team Barmera tomorrow night while Renmark, after a bye, plays Loxton North. Meanwhile, in the Independent netball competition, East Murray produced a hard fought win against Ramco 45-39 and BSR convincingly beat Moorook-Kingston 69 to 19. Best players in the East Murray and Ramco clash were Katelyn Boughen and Sandy Redden for the Tigers, while Tamara Trebilcock and Sharna Linke were best for Ramco. BSR was well served by Courtney Warren and Ashleigh Stapelton, while Moorook-Kingston’s best players were Veronica Migga and Stacie Sander.
