ONE of the region’s most loved junior surfing events will celebrate a major milestone this weekend, with the Gracetown Grommets marking its 30th anniversary. Hosted by Cowaramup Bay Boardriders Club, the grassroots competition will run this weekend September 19 and 20, (competition day depending on conditions), with around 60 young surfers already registered. The event has long held a special place in the local surfing calendar, combining high-level junior competition with the relaxed community atmosphere that has defined it since its beginnings. Cowaramup Bay Boardriders president Ian Anderson said maintaining that character remained important to the club. “The event has always been grassroots and we don’t want to lose that by making it all about points,” he said. “It’s about keeping the heart of the day and what it has always been about — getting kids in the water, having fun and giving anyone who wants to have a crack the opportunity to be part of it. Gracetown Groms has deep roots in the community and is held in memory of the nine people who lost their lives in the 1996 Gracetown cliff collapse during a primary

school surfing carnival. The competition has also become a proving ground for generations of young WA surfers, with some of the State’s best-known names having competed as juniors. Mr Anderson said the strength of junior surfing around Gracetown continued to stand out. “Our local junior surfing has gone through the roof,” he said. “We would have to be one of the strongest junior clubs in the country...consistently around half of the junior State squad comes from Cow Bay. “Growing up here, these kids surf powerful waves from a young age. “You can see that in their surfing — they’re confident and skilful when the waves get bigger.”

This year’s anniversary will be marked with a redesigned Gracetown Grommets logo, commemorative competitor shirts, and additional shirts and stickers available on the day. The club will also keep the community feel alive with a barbecue, bacon and egg rolls, presentations, pizzas and ice creams for the young competitors. Early forecasts have Mr Anderson hopeful the competition will be able to run in Cowaramup Bay itself, providing an ideal setting for families and spectators. “If it comes together in the Bay, it’s such a great place to watch,” he said. “It becomes a really good day for everyone — not just the surfers, but parents, supporters and anyone who wants to come down and enjoy

the atmosphere.” The anniversary also comes as the club celebrates another significant milestone, with its long-awaited new storage shed behind Gracetown Hall now complete. The club had been saving towards the project for several years before local businesses and volunteers stepped in with materials, labour and support to help bring it across the line. Southern Earthmoving, DMG Contract Pumping, Independent Concrete, Cowara Contractors and Diverse Group all contributed to the project, while Margaret River Sign Company completed the new signage.

“We’ve been saving for a number of years, and then so many people came on board to help us get it built,” Mr Anderson said. “It’s a huge milestone for the club and something we really needed.” He also thanked the parents and club members who volunteered their time and labour. The 30th Gracetown Grommets will be held on September 19 and 20, with the competition location and timing determined by conditions.

Over the past three months, a group of 14 Year 5 and 6 students have been arriving at school early each week to prepare for the event, which challenges students to work collaboratively on open-ended problems requiring critical thinking, creativity and teamwork.

This year marked the third time Margaret River Independent School has taken part in Tournament of Minds.

The MRIS teams recently competed against 71 schools and 172 teams from across the region.

The school congratulated all 14 students for their commitment, creativity and perseverance, as well as the staff and supporters who helped them prepare for the competition.

Both teams delivered original performances, with the MRIS Gang earning a Merit certificate

For the second consecutive year, the school also hosted the South-West Regional Competition, welcoming teams from across the region.

A delicious little mystery in Margs

NICKY LEFEBVRE DINNER in Margaret River has just become a little less predictable. A new progressive dining experience is sending guests through four undisclosed venues in one night, with each stop revealed only after the previous course is complete. Created by boutique tour company Walk Talk Taste Margaret River, Secret Supper is a four-hour, self-guided dining experience designed to turn a night out into something closer to a culinary treasure hunt. Guests begin at 4.45pm and, after arriving at their first venue, receive an envelope containing four sealed pages. Each page is opened at the appropriate stop, revealing the story behind the venue, what is being served and directions to the next destination. By the end of the evening, diners will have completed four courses across four different Margaret River township venues, with five wines and cocktails served across three of the stops. Everything is included in the $195 ticket price. Walk Talk Taste founder Kellie Tannock said the idea came from wanting to shake up the way people experience Margaret River’s food scene.

“Margaret River has one of the most exciting food scenes in the country, but even regular visitors tend to return to the same handful of places,” she said. “Secret Supper sorts out the decision-making and predictability. Just show up hungry and curious, and let the night unfold.” That sense of discovery is the heart of the experience. Guests know their first venue after booking, but nothing beyond that. From there, the night is designed to unfold in stages, with food, drinks, venue stories and a few surprises along the way. Conversation starters are also tucked into the experience, adding a playful element for couples, friends and small groups. Although there is no guide walking diners from venue to venue,

each participating restaurant or bar treats Secret Supper guests as VIPs, with tables, food and drinks prepared for their allocated arrival times. The format reflects Walk Talk Taste’s wider approach to touring, where storytelling is used to connect people with local places, producers and personalities rather than simply moving them from one attraction to the next. Kellie said the new experience was aimed at both first-time visitors and people who thought they already knew Margaret River well. The appeal, she said, was in handing over the planning for one night and allowing somebody else to curate the experience. Group sizes are deliberately kept small, with between two and eight guests able to book and a maximum

Festival unearths the past THE South West Heritage Festival will return for its third year this October, with a theme inviting audiences to look beneath the surface — literally and figuratively.

First lots up for grabs in Cowaramup THE first 10 residential lots have been released at a new Cowaramup housing development, with construction already underway. Developer Goldfields has opened expressions of interest for the first stage of its In Town community, planned for land within walking distance of the town centre. The initial ‘Saddle Release’ includes 10 lots ranging in size from 450sqm to 561sqm. The broader development is planned to include 184 homes and four community parks, with the site also located opposite the recently-announced IGA supermarket. Goldfields WA State Director Gareth Wilson said the company had received strong early interest from prospective buyers. “Cowaramup has become one of the South West’s most sought-after locations, yet the supply of both established homes

and new residential land remains limited,” he said. “In Town will help ease that pressure by delivering much-needed new housing supply directly into the tightly held local market.” The development will add a substantial number of new homes to the South West town, which has seen continued residential and commercial growth in recent years. Goldfields National Director Communities, Paul Cicchiello said the company saw the project as part of its broader investment in the South West, following its Spindrift development in Margaret River. The first-stage lots are being offered through an expressions of interest process, which closes on September 17. Construction is underway, with titles for Stage 1 expected in the first quarter of 2027. More information is available at incowtown.com.au.

This year’s theme, Underground, will explore everything from geology, caves, soil and water to hidden histories, cultural memory and stories that have long sat out of sight. Organisers say the theme is intended to encourage deeper thinking about the landscapes and histories of Wadandi boodja, including the difficult and complex stories that form part of the region’s heritage. The program begins with the Underground exhibition at the Holmes à Court Gallery at Vasse Felix in Wilyabrup from October 5. The exhibition will explore hidden histories, truth telling and relationships with the natural world through works by artists including Brendon Darby, Sandra Hill, Monique Tippett, Merrick Belyea, Sandra Harben and Kelsey Ashe, alongside historical works by George Pitt Morrison and John Campbell. A major seminar will be held at Nala Bardip Mia – Margaret River HEART on October 31, bringing together speakers from across cul-

for a special heritage walking tour.

Wadandi custodian Zac Webb and archaeologist Joe Dortch will lead a conversation exploring Devil’s Lair and other significant archaeological sites, while Bill Bunbury will host a panel examining the region’s agricultural history, from dairy to viticulture, and the role of soil and land in shaping those industries.

Led by Sian from Busselton Walking Tours, the tour will take participants on a journey through the people, places and stories of Busselton’s past.

The Heritage Skills Association will also explore the history of local building techniques and community efforts to care for heritage places, with stonemason Bec Wiley providing a practical demonstration and workshop.

The walk departs from the Busselton Visitor Centre at Railway House, near the Jetty, just before 4pm and runs until 6pm. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Doors open at 10.30am, with Mr Webb welcoming attendees at 11am. The event is free, but bookings are essential. Later that afternoon, the festival moves to Busselton

With the tour falling on Halloween, participants are invited to dress up for the occasion, with a trick-or-treat surprise at the end.

The South West Heritage Festival runs throughout October, with bookings for the seminar and walking tour available through Humanitix. For more information, visit the Busselton & South West Heritage Festival on Facebook.

CAPES CONVERSATIONS

From breaching whales in Geographe Bay to stingrays at Hamelin Bay and reptiles in local education centres, wildlife encounters are part of what makes the Margaret River Region special. But experts say the best wildlife experiences are often the ones where animals can continue behaving naturally, without human interference. On a recent episode of Capes Conversations, Southwest Wildlife Officer Pia Roberts from the Department of Biodiversity, Con-

servation and Attractions (DBCA) spoke about the importance of respecting wildlife and understanding the impacts our actions can have. While many visitors assume an animal that stays nearby is comfortable with human presence, Pia says that is not always the case. “That doesn’t mean that they’re comfortable with people,” she explained. “It could have some effects of disturbing their natural behaviours and stopping them from being able to feed or have enough sufficient rest and getting to those areas to actual-

ly even breed or care for their young.” The risks can work both ways. Native animals may become stressed and alter their behaviour, while people can also be injured if wildlife feels threatened. “All of our native animals can have a response to stress and they can kick, they can bite, and they can do all those sorts of things,” Roberts said. One area where problems arise is feeding wildlife. “It is illegal to feed wildlife unless you have authority to do so,” Pia said.

“Our wildlife can get used to human food that’s maybe not suitable for them, and that can cause nutritional problems for them, illnesses. “It even changes their behaviour.” Discover Deadly in Carbunup River works in wildlife education, helping people to over-

come fears and misinformation about reptiles. Co-owner Becca Bolton said one myth is the widely held but inaccurate idea that stomping your feet will drive snakes away. “Snakes are interested in vibrations of things that they want to eat and what might want to eat them. “So, us stamping really doesn’t mean much to them,” she said. Both guests agreed that positive wildlife encounters are those that prioritise the wellbeing of the animal. For Pia, the ideal experience is one where people can connect with nature while animals continue their everyday lives uninterrupted. “The kind of ideal outcome from a conservation perspective is people connecting with nature without changing the behaviour of the wildlife and everybody gets to enjoy,” she said. As visitor interest in wildlife experiences continues to grow, the message from both experts is simple: observe, learn and appreciate, but let wildlife remain wild.

A SUCCESSFUL dance was held in the Road Board Hall on Saturday last, the Agricultural Society being responsible. The visitors staying at the new hotel helped largely to swell the crowd at the dance, there being over 200 people present. The electric light was available for the first time and greatly enhanced the brightness of the ballroom. A number of novelty dances were held and dancing continued merrily until 2am. The takings at the door amounted to 27 pounds. A splendid supper was provided by the ladies’ auxiliary and was much appreciated.

ONE was the flickering, shadowy kerosene lit Town Hall and with it, the excuse for accidently standing on your dance partners toes, for the age of electric light had arrived. Mr. B. McKeown, who had that same day opened his new hotel on the corner

of Wilmott Ave, was kind enough to string a powerline between his private generator, that powered the lights and power switches in his hotel to the hall for the evening dance. Electricity to the Margaret River townsite was achieved in stages. The hospital was the first to be supplied by an individual plant installed in August 1935. The power was generated by a 3hp Lister Petrol engine that ran a 32-volt DC generator, it was very efficient but when someone needed an operation then the whole circuit was shut down and all the power directed to the operating theater. In May 1935 the Margaret River Road Board advertised through the press for applications for the rights to supply electricity to the town. Finally in 1937 a contract was given to Mr. J.M. Nixon from Fremantle. The decision wasn’t without controversy. It seems Mr. McKeown was under the impression that; as he was already sup-

plying the Hall and the Board Offices he was going to be award the commission; however, after spending a year evading signing a contract due to “technicalities” the Road Board looked elsewhere. Nixon’s large petrol driven generator arrived at the plant in bits and pieces that he proceeded to assembled on site, the largest part having been shipped from England. Towards the end of 1937 the street lights, most business and many private homes in the town site were connected to a limited power supply running from sunset to midnight, which eventually changed to twenty-four hours a day by February 1938.

Crunch time at school

SOUTH West primary schools are being encouraged to add some extra crunch to sports carnivals this term with a new healthy eating initiative from Cancer Council WA. The Great Carnival Crunch is designed to bring a healthy twist to sports day, cross-country training and other school sporting events by encouraging students to refuel with fresh vegetables. Cancer Council WA South West Regional Cancer Prevention Coordinator Emma Handreck said the program aimed to make healthy food part of the fun. “We know children love the excitement of a school carnival, so we’re bringing that same energy to vegetables,” she said. “The Great Carnival Crunch is about making healthy food part of the fun – getting kids cheering, moving and then reaching for fresh, crunchy vegetables to refuel.”

The free program is open to all WA primary schools, with students encouraged to learn a special carnival chant before joining together for a group “crunch”. Registered schools receive a free event pack including faction-themed bunting, cheer squad accessories and the chant, with schools able to add their own choreography. Schools can take part through a wholeschool carnival activity, classroom session or cross-country training. Grants of up to $50 are also available to help schools buy fresh vegetables. “There is also an element of friendly competition, with schools encouraged to count how many students and adults join their cheer and submit their results via the event survey for the chance to win prizes,” Ms Handreck said. Schools can register and access free resources at crunchandsip.com.au/event/ great-carnival-crunch

From beatmaking to the big stage

NICKY LEFEBVRE WHAT’S ON | YOUTH MUSIC YOUNG people in Margaret River will have the chance to make beats, write songs and take their music to the stage these school holidays, with a free three-day program bringing some of WA’s best-known hip hop names to town. BeatLab x HipHop101 will run from September 30 to October 2 at Margaret River Senior High School, giving young people aged 10 to 17 hands-on experience in beatmaking, songwriting, recording, DJing, scratching, finger drumming and performance. The workshops will be led by Rob Shaker alongside Dazastah from acclaimed WA hip hop group Downsyde and Coz Lake, with Downsyde also involved in mentoring and performance. Shaker said the program had been designed to give young people different ways to take part, regardless of whether they already considered themselves musicians. “I’d love for some of them to surprise themselves a bit,” he said. “You don’t have to be the kid who wants to grab a mic and perform in front of everyone to have something valuable to contribute to music. “You might be the person who makes the beat, writes an idea, records something, scratches a sam-

ple or just has a really good ear for what sounds right.” Each workshop will be limited to 12 participants, allowing plenty of hands-on time, with different age groups attending across the three days. Rather than finishing when the workshops end, the program will culminate in a special youth showcase at The River on Friday, October 2. Participants will have the opportunity to share the original music they have created before Downsyde and Bitter Belief take to the

venue later that evening. Shaker said having a real destination for the music was an important part of the project. “I really wanted there to be an end point beyond just doing some activities for a few hours and going home,” he said. “For the kids who do want to perform, getting to take something from an idea in a workshop to a real stage and audience is a pretty special opportunity.” Performance will be interpreted broadly, with no pressure on participants to sing or rap.

Young people could instead DJ, scratch, finger drum, perform with their group or simply have the finished track they helped create played through the venue’s sound system. Shaker said hip hop was particularly suited to giving young people an accessible entry point into music. “It grew out of people being creative with what they had, and technology has made that even more accessible now,” he said. “A young person can start making beats, writing songs or learning to DJ without needing years of traditional music lessons first.” Since moving to the region, Shaker said he had also been keen

to bring more creative opportunities directly to regional young people. “Margaret River has a really strong creative community, but regional kids obviously don’t have the same constant access to artists, studios and programs that kids in Perth do,” he said. “Part of what I’m trying to do since moving down here is bring some of that experience here rather than young people always having to travel to find it.” “The biggest thing is that no experience is needed,” Shaker said. “I’d hate for a kid to see ‘hip hop workshop’ and think it’s only for confident rappers or kids who already make music. It really isn’t!” The project is supported through the Shire of Augusta Margaret River’s Community Development and Events Grants Program and the Australian Government Regional Arts Fund, with Radio Margaret River 101.9FM as radio partner. BeatLab x HipHop101 runs from September 30 to October 2 at Margaret River Senior High School, with the youth showcase at The River on Friday, October 2.

STUDENTS, scientists, artists and Wadandi Cultural Custodians will come together in Margaret River next month for an evening celebrating connection to the ocean and shared responsibility for its future. Wongi Gulyarra Waatu, or Talking Oceans Together, will be held at Nala Bardip Mia – Margaret River HEART on Thursday, October 15 from 5pm to 7.30pm. Presented through the Educational Marine Areas Waatu Kaatajin, or Ocean Learning, program, the event will bring together Aboriginal knowledge, Western science, creative expression and student inquiry. At the centre of the evening will be students from Cowaramup Primary School and the Margaret River Montessori Adolescent program, who will share learning and creative work inspired by Waatu Maarin (seagrass), Mammung (whales), Djiljit (fish) and other aspects of Sea Country. Their work has been developed through local Educational Marine Area sites at Cowaramup Bay and Yallingup Lagoon. The event is designed as a space for

Koorlin — deep listening, learning and sharing — while encouraging audiences to think about how different forms of knowledge can work together in caring for Waatu Boodja, or Sea Country. The program will also include music with Lemon Myrtle, performances created with Dawn Pascoe and Sari Bennett, and art and visual works by EncountersAgainandAgain. Guests are encouraged to wear something that connects them to the ocean, whether that is a simple pair of shell earrings or something more elaborate. A paella meal is included with tickets and will be shared before the show, with attendees encouraged to bring reusable cutlery and containers to help reduce waste. Organisers say the event also connects local learning with the wider global movement for Ocean Literacy, highlighting the idea that caring for the ocean is a responsibility shared across communities and generations. Wongi Gulyarra Waatu runs for 150 minutes and is alcohol-free. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children.For information and bookings, visit artsmargaretriver.com

WHAT’S ON | DISCO DEGO RÚSTICO at Hay Shed Hill will swap long lunches for late-night dancing next month, with a oneoff event bringing a touch of Studio 54 to Wilyabrup. Disco Degustation will be held on Saturday, October 3, transforming the Margaret River wine country venue for a night of fivecourse dining, retro cocktails, disco classics and dancing. Rústico owner Vanessa said the event was about giving regular guests a different way to experience the venue. “People know and love us for long lunches, great food and wine and afternoons overlooking the vines,” she said. “We thought it would be fun to take that same Rústico energy and see what happens when the sun goes down.” Chef Mike has created a fivecourse menu inspired by the flavours and nostalgia of the disco era, while keeping the food firmly in Rústico territory. “There are so many flavours, dishes and memories associated with that era, and we can take some of those ideas and give them a modern Rústico spin,” he said. The entertainment will come from TWDJ Events and The King of Disco, Ryan Cope, with DJs tak-

ing guests from dinner through to the dance floor until midnight. The Roller Disco Collective will also make a special appearance, while the night will include retro-inspired cocktails, best-dressed prizes and the crowning of a King and Queen of the Disco. Guests are encouraged to embrace the theme with sequins, flares, metallics, platforms and plenty of 1970s inspiration. “Ultimately, we want people to get their friends together, dress up,

enjoy some incredible food and then stay for a proper night out,” Vanessa said. Disco Degustation will run from 7pm to midnight at Rústico at Hay Shed Hill. Tickets are $160 per person, with optional return transport from Margaret River, Busselton and Dunsborough available for $35 per person.

Legends seal the deal FOOTBALL Margaret River wrapped up its junior season with a huge final round across Gloucester Park and Rapids, with 19 matches, several local derbies and plenty to celebrate after another busy year. The standout result came from the Under 13 Legends, who secured the league title after a hard-fought derby against the FMR Breakers.

Margaret River grinding out a 1-0 victory to secure the trophy and preserve their unbeaten record. Retiring goalkeeper Mike Lane played a key role in the win, producing a standout performance to keep Dynamos scoreless. His efforts across the season also earned him the league’s Golden Glove award for

conceding the fewest goals. The league championship adds to an already impressive year for the senior squad. Margaret River also won the Margaret River Pre-Season Carnival before beating Bunbury Dynamos 2-1 earlier in the year to lift the South West Horizon Cup.

With the premiership on the line, the Legends completed the job on home turf, capping a strong season and rewarding the work of coach Jeremy and a committed playing group. The Under 17 Mustangs also finished their campaign in emphatic fashion, defeating Busselton City Thunder 6-0 to extend their winning streak to six league games. Ollie opened the scoring and finished with two goals, while Reef converted a penalty and Kai, Sid and Kelani also found the net in a strong all-round performance. The match also marked the final junior appearance for nine Mustangs players — William, Ethan, Sid, Stirling, Reef, Jarrah, Digby, Poom and Jay — who now graduate from the junior ranks. The Under 15 Rockets also signed off with a win, edging Vasse 1-0. Archie scored from a perfectly weighted Tommie pass, while goalkeeper Charlie Grey produced a standout

performance that included a crucial penalty save. The Under 15 Warriors finished their season with a 3-2 victory over Dunsborough Town Mariners. In the Under 14s, the Stingrays recovered from a slow start to beat Busselton 5-1, with Oscar Atkins bagging a hattrick and Louis Bebbington also finding the net. The Under 13 All Stars rounded out their year with a 6-2 win over GMAS in a spirited final-round clash. There was plenty of local derby action across the younger age groups too. The Under 9 Magic produced one of their best performances of the season against the Messi Kids, while the Under 11 Dragons and Hornets also closed out their campaigns against familiar opposition. The Raptors, Mavericks, Shadows, Falcons, Serpents and Storm all finished their seasons with strong team efforts, with coaches and families celebrating how far the players had come over the year. Across the club, the final round was less about ladders and more about progress, teamwork and finishing together on home soil after a season of growth. For the Legends, though, there was one extra reason to celebrate — a league title to close out 2026 in style.

SKATEBOARDING MARGARET River skater Indigo “Gogo” Dale has qualified for the 2026 Skateboarding World Championships in Paraguay after a podium finish at the German Park Skateboarding Nationals. The 16-year-old placed third in the Women’s Open Division, and was selected to represent Germany at the upcoming world championships. Gogo is eligible to compete through her German-born mum. This was her second appearance at the German Nationals, after finishing second in the Open Division last year. The result capped a hectic few months, which included the Australian Nationals on the Gold Coast in July, where she crashed out in the semi-finals, followed by a training injury in Melbourne and a rapid recovery ahead of the German comp. “Being selected for the World Championships is an absolute dream and something I’ve been working on

Gogo Dale says her selection for the 2026 Skateboarding World Championships in Paraguay is ‘an absolute dream’, and the culmination of many years of hard work.

for several years,” Gogo said. “The Worlds are the first of three events that qualify you for the Olympic Qualifying Series, so my LA Olympics dream is still alive.” “I absolutely love skating in Germany, as I get to practise my German and the people are just so supportive of me there,” she said. “This year’s bowl was a lot more difficult than last year’s, but I absolutely loved it and it gave me a chance to demonstrate some of my harder tricks.” She also thanked Margaret River Lions and Augus-

ta Lions for supporting her journey. Gogo is sponsored by local company Gath Sports and is a member of the South West Academy of Sport, a feeder organisation for the WA Institute of Sport. She trains for around 30 hours a week and can often be found at Margaret River Skate Park when conditions allow.

AUGUSTA MARGARET RIVER MAIL

Hawks soar to premiership glory

FROM THE COVER AUGUSTA Margaret River’s Year 9/10 girls have completed a remarkable unbeaten season with a South West Junior Football League premiership, defeating Harvey Bulls in Saturday’s Grand Final at Hands Memorial Oval. In blustery conditions, the Hawks prevailed by 34 points, winning 9.8 (62) to 4.4 (28) to finally claim the flag after narrowly missing out in recent seasons. The Hawks made a strong start, opening up a three-goal lead by quarter-time on the back of midfield work from Sierra Buttel and Indi Johnstone, while Lily Smith and Harper Belbin made the most of their opportunities in front of goal. Harvey hit back with two goals in the second term, but strong defensive work from Zoe Clemson and Mia Edwards helped steady the Hawks before Izzy Billing and Holly Vardy kicked important goals into the breeze. The third quarter proved decisive, with Lily Smith, Mary Stewart and Laila Townsend all finding the goals as Augusta Margaret River tightened its grip on the contest. Grace Hastings and Eve John-

stone produced important defensive efforts to keep Harvey goalless despite sustained pressure late in the quarter. The final term became a physical battle, with both sides throwing themselves into the contest. Sage Dingey led the way with contested possessions and pressure, while Daisy Franzinelli provided important run on the wing. Dingey then kicked the sealing goal in the closing minutes, sparking celebrations as the Hawks se-

cured the premiership. Indi Johnstone capped an outstanding season by being named Best on Ground in the Grand Final. Coach Iliya Hastings said the result was a fitting reward for the group. “After just missing out the last couple of years, the team had plenty to play for and dug in deep when they needed to,” he said. “Strong, connected, fit and skilful, the team are an inspiration to the next wave of female footy play-

Stage set for blockbuster

SWFL | GRAND FINAL THE stage is set for a huge South West Football League Grand Final day at Hands Memorial Oval, with premierships to be decided across League, Women’s, Reserves and Colts on Saturday. In the Dale Alcock Homes League, Bunbury booked a rematch with Busselton after defeating Donnybrook by 41 points in Sunday’s Preliminary Final. The Bulldogs led by 15 points at quarter-time and steadily built their advantage, with Kye Wright and Haydn Busher among the key contributors. Donnybrook stayed in touch through the second term, but Bunbury pulled away after half-time to win 14.11 (95) to 7.12 (54). The result sets up a much-anticipated Grand Final against Busselton, who advanced directly to the decider after their one-point Second Semi Final win. HARVEY Brunswick Leschenault created history in the Tronox Women’s competition, reaching their first Grand Final with a dominant 40-point win over Bunbury. The Lions burst out of the blocks through Maya Goudard, who kicked two first-quarter goals, and never relinquished control. Bunbury was held scoreless until the final term as HBL won 6.5 (41) to 0.1 (1). The Lions will now face Busselton, who earned direct passage to the Grand

Final with their comeback win over HBL the previous week. HBL also advanced in the Solahart South West Reserves, overcoming Carey Park 8.7 (55) to 3.8 (26). The Panthers led by nine points at half-time, but the Lions took control with a five-goal third quarter before finishing strongly. HBL will meet Bunbury in Saturday’s Reserves Grand Final. AUGUSTA Margaret River’s Colts season ended one game short of the Grand Final, with South Bunbury prevailing by 11 points. The Tigers opened strongly and led by 23 points at quarter-time, before the Hawks fought their way back into the contest. Goals to Kobi Walton, Cassidy Barr, Mitch Joliffe and Nate Poulsen helped Augusta Margaret River close the gap, but South Bunbury held firm to win 7.6 (48) to 5.8 (38). After finishing the regular season as minor premiers, the Hawks end their campaign in third place. South Bunbury will face Harvey Brunswick Leschenault in the Colts Grand Final. Grand Final day at Hands Memorial Oval begins with the Colts at 8.45am, followed by the Reserves at 11.30am, Women’s at 2.15pm and League Grand Final between Busselton and Bunbury at 4.25pm.

ers coming through in our area.” There was also support from one of the club’s smallest members, Lucky Duck, the Hawks’ greenand-gold mascot, who took in the action from the stands. The Hawks’ Under 20 women followed in their Grand Final against undefeated Busselton, producing a competitive performance before the Magpies’ depth eventually told in a 41-point result. Freya Campbell and Juniper Bowles were among those leading the Hawks’ effort. AMRJFC president Ryan Walsh said the season had been a major success for the club’s female program.

“It was a great season for the Hawks girls programme, winning the club’s only premiership with the 9/10 girls, the U20s making the grand final and the Year 7/8s also contesting finals,” he said. “We look forward to seeing more Year 7 girls coming into the club next year as we continue to grow what is a super positive, inclusive and competitive female programme.” Mr Walsh said the club’s commitment to female football was also reflected in the awarding of this year’s Ella Roberts Medal to Under 20 and Women’s League player Bonnie Hastings, recognising her contribution as a trailblazer for the girls’ game over the past eight years.

The U20s team may not have come home with the win, but displayed skill and determination facing the unbeaten Busselton Magpies. Photos thanks to Emma Roberts & Janet Smith.

Cassidy wins Colts medal SWFL | AWARDS

AUGUSTA Margaret River Colts co-captain Tomas Cassidy has capped a standout season by winning the Dale Alcock Homes South West Medal as the fairest and best player in the Get Careers Colts competition. Cassidy polled 35 votes to finish six clear of Harvey Brunswick Leschenault’s Riley Preece, continuing a strong recent run for Hawks players in the award after Harvey Fisher won in 2022 and Kaspa Donovan in 2023.

Augusta Margaret River also featured prominently in the main Hayward Medal count, with Jed Spence finishing third on 20 votes. The medal was won by Busselton star Mitch Tenardi, who polled 27 votes to finish four clear of Bunbury’s Aidan Clarke.

Tenardi had twice finished runner-up for the award and also completed a clean sweep of the major League honours, winning the Kia Media Player of the Year and the Platinum Supply Player of the Year, voted by coaches.

The Hawks said Cassidy also shared the Colts Coaches Award after polling 39 votes, with the club praising the young leader for the role he played in the team’s strong season.

He polled in 12 of 18 qualifying rounds and was judged best on ground six times, becoming the first Busselton player to win the Hayward Medal since Chris Kane in 2015.

Cassidy credited his teammates, including ruckman Cael Edmonds, saying the award “isn’t won on his own”.

In the women’s competition, Harvey Brunswick Leschenault’s Trinity Brown claimed her second Nola Marino Medal with 23 votes.

Busselton’s Beth Beckett finished runner-up on 20, while fellow Magpies Rennie Meadmore and Maddy Obal were equal fourth on 15 and Sarah Lang rounded out the top 10 on 10. In the Reserves, Bunbury’s Jordan McGinley and Carey Park’s James Mead shared the Times Medal on 21 votes. Augusta Margaret River’s Anthony Marinovich was among the top 10 with 11 votes, while Busselton’s Kobi Howell finished third on 16 and Tom Perks also polled 11. Dunsborough’s Peter Rock also featured strongly in the Colts count, finishing fifth on 16 votes. For the Hawks, though, the night belonged to Cassidy, whose dominant season earned him both the Colts fairest and best and a share of the coaches’ award.
