The editor’s desk I caught up with Loch Lomond grower Glen Boal for this week's cover story on where we're at with the drought in our region (pages 4-5).

Glen is taking full advantage of the recent falls of rain on his country and many other local producers are doing the same by planting and having a punt on there being follow-up rain to come.

I'm not trying to jinx it for them but the reality is while the downpours have been very welcome we have some distance to go until we're back to a 'normal' spring and summer season, if such a thing even exists anymore.

Anyone visiting the Southern Downs and Granite Belt from metro locations right now would be asking, "Drought?

What drought?", but locals know that as green as the hills are looking we need a lot more rain yet.

As much as anything, the wet conditions of the last fortnight or so have given many of our farmers a big morale boost and it's fantastic to see tractors with planting gear attached rolling in local paddocks.

Farming is not for the faint of heart - it can be a gamble, particularly with the long-term outlook for the next few months.

Let's hope the gamble pays off big time.

DE-MERGER WORK POWERING AHEAD The Granite Belt Community Association says work is progressing well on the investigation into the potential deamalgamation of the Stanthorpe region from the Southern Downs Regional Council.

A statement released this week by the group said a "community sentiment questionnaire" had been completed by an independent analyst which showed many respondents believed a de-amalgamated council would offer greater "back to basics service delivery" and reduce unnecessary overheads.

"The questionnaire results also supported the view that the uniqueness of both the Granite Belt and Southern Downs regions needs to be retained, and that good local representative leadership is essential and sound financial management for both regions is imperative," the group's statement said.

"The major financial analysis of the proposed council de-amalgamation, being conducted by Mr David Spearritt of Orion Consulting Network, is also well underway.

"Professor Tim Coelli has been in

estimated by Treasury prior to these deamalgamations.

"This is very valuable information."

Granite Belt Community Association president Rev Alan Colyer said he was "very heartened by the contributions from all parties".

"The minister and his department have made it clear that they are willing to consider a well-constructed case," he said.

"The Southern Downs Regional Council have been generous with their assistance in the provision of data.

"Lawrence Springborg has very kindly donated his time to chair the deamalgamation project committee, providing invaluable assistance in interactions with Council and the Minister.

"And most importantly, the Granite Belt community have been extremely generous in their donations of time and money to this very important cause.

"The Association is set to deliver a comprehensive report to the minister at the end of November." ●

Rev Alan Colyer and Amanda Harrold of the Granite Belt Community Association. regular contact with the consultant and is impressed by the large amount of work being completed.

"The consultant is not just carefully dividing up current SDRC costs and revenues and assets into the two different sub-regions, but is also collecting benchmarking data from other well performing councils of similar sizes to investigate a range of possible 'best practice'

activities for the two new councils.

"The aim of the analysis is to establish that both new councils - Southern Downs and Granite Belt - can be both financially viable and sustainable going forward.

"The consultant has also been studying detailed tables of past examples of deamalgamation costs in Queensland, which show that the actual costs of deamalgamation were well below the costs

CONTAINER REFUND STARTS

RACING INDUSTRY FUNDING

BY JEREMY SOLLARS

Thoroughbred Breeders Queensland Association President and Goomburra Valley stud operator Basil Nolan this week welcomed the State Government's $26 million in funding for thoroughbred racing.

The announcement was made late last Friday 26 October that prize money increases will be delivered in two stages, with an immediate $18 million increase effective today November 1 and a further $8 million increase in six months.

Mr Nolan thanked industry stakeholders who have supported the TBQA, the Queensland Trainers Association, the Australian Jockeys Association Queensland and the Queensland Racehorse Owners Association in their fight to see some of the State's new Point of Consumption tax returned to the racing industry.

"Without the strong show of support from participants, particularly with strike action on Cox Plate Day, I have no doubt our requests would have been overlooked," said Mr Nolan.

"I would particularly like to thank QTA President, Cameron Partington for all his hard work to rally everyone together to ensure our voice was heard.

"I would also like to thank Racing Queensland Thoroughbred Board

Confusion surrounds the introduction of Queensland's new Container Refund Scheme which is due to commence statewide today, Thursday 1 November.

At time of printing of the Free Times this week companies and organisations which have won tenders to conduct the scheme on the Darling Downs appeared to be scrambling to organise collection points for locals to deliver eligible containers for recycling in order to collect a 10 cent refund per item.

A spokesman for Lifeline Darling Downs - one of the groups participating in the scheme - said in Warwick containers could be delivered to its op-shop on King Street from today.

In Stanthorpe the scheme will be operated at the Stanthorpe Post Office on Maryland Street.

Locals wishing to receive the 10 cent per item refund must first register their bank account details with Queensland Government agency Containers for Change.

When they drop off their containers they will be provided with an ID label to place with their containers - which need to be bagged - and a receipt to hand to Lifeline

Warwick or Stanthorpe Post Office staff for processing to receive their refund via EFT. The government says eligible items include most aluminium, glass, plastic, steel and liquid paperboard beverage containers between 150ml and three litres.

Excluded items include · Any plain milk containers · Any glass containers which have contained wine or pure spirits · Containers 1 L or more which have contained flavoured milk, pure fruit or vegetable juice, cask wine or cask water · Concentrated/undiluted cordial or syrup containers · Sachets above 250ml which have contained wine · Registered health tonics For more information contact the Lifeline store in Warwick on 4661 8841, the Stanthorpe Post Office on 4681 1047, Containers for Change on 13 42 42 or visit www.containersforchange.com.au ●

Chairman Mark Sowerby and CEO Brendan Parnell for representing the industry so well and their positive negotiations with the State Government.

"Racing Queensland Chairman Steve Wilson has indicated this $26 million dollar injection will support industry viability and position the sport to grow its $1.2 billion annual contribution to the state economy.

"I would like to thank the State Government for listening to our concerns and I look forward to working closely with them in the future to ensure the thoroughbred industry continues to be provided with its fair share of the PoC tax moving forward.

"Racing Queensland will now determine how the funding will be allocated." ●

COVER STORY Loch Lomond's Glen Boal is busy on the back of the rain - but he knows his new corn crop will need follow-up falls.

HOPE SPRINGS

ETERNAL

BY JEREMY SOLLARS

F

armers across the region are rejoicing after widespread rainfall in the last fortnight which has smashed the long-term average for October on the Southern Downs and Granite Belt out of the park.

But while the recent wet conditions have provided a major boost to producers' spirits experts are warning the longer-term drought outlook still applies.

Official Bureau of Meteorology rainfall figures show that as of Tuesday of this week Warwick had recorded 105.8mm and Stanthorpe 162.1mm, as compared to the long-term October average for both towns of 69.3mm.

In rural areas the rain has blessed some

districts more than others, with cropping country to the east of Warwick generally faring the best.

Third-generation Loch Lomond grower Glen Boal was getting ready to plant corn on the back of the rain when he spoke to the Free Times this week, having had a few days of down time while his ground dried out sufficiently to hook up the planting gear.

He and wife Lisa and their three young boys farm more than 500 hectares in the traditionally fertile plains district, with their 2017-2018 corn crop winning the National Maize Competition dryland section - with an impressive yield of 9.31 tonnes per hectare.

While Glen is upbeat about the renewed moisture level in his soil he's not getting too excited about another award chance at

this point - and admits he and others busy planting are taking something of a gamble.

He planted the winning crop in late November and early December last year on his "best" 110 acre block and said it started raining "just as I was driving the planter out of the gate".

"We had a good fall of around 30mm when we planted which kicked the crop along and some little storms after that and then a big fall at the end of February over two or three days," Glen said.

"But between then and now it's been pretty dry - it didn't rain during harvest in late May and we were able to bale a lot of stubble.

"Now we've had well over 100mm in a fortnight.

"We just seem to be lucky here, we get

under most of the storms whereas a lot of people have missed out on two crops now.

"We'll need good follow up rain though once this new crop gets going, there's a bit of risk involved but there's a good moisture profile in the soil.

"You've really just got to have a go.

"The El Nino pattern has been interesting here over the years - in the past they've been some of our best years."

Warwick-based Micheal Fagg from Rural Financial Counselling Service Southern Queensland told the Free Times it was heartening and understandable to see the region's producers taking advantage of above-average October rainfall.

But he said any suggestion that it would break the current drought was far too premature.

Micheal provides financial advice and assistance with drought-relief paperwork to farmers across the Southern Downs, Granite Belt and Scenic Rim areas and says requests for his help continue to come thick and fast - including around 150 enquiries about the Farm Household Allowance (FHA) in the last couple of months.

"While it hasn't been right across the board the rain we've had is certainly very encouraging and obviously a lot of people are getting a crop into the ground," he said.

"What do you do other than have a go?

"But in reality if we don't get some decent follow-up rain what we've had is going to make very little difference, if we have another bad summer.

"People need to be able to string two good seasons together and that's looking like a tough ask at the moment.

"But as much as anything it's been a good psychological boost to see some green around.

"It's really lifted everyone's spirits." ●

While good falls have been recorded across the Southern Downs and Granite Belt not everyone has been lucky.

High-level urban water restrictions come into place today, Thursday 1 November.

Urban dwellers across the Southern Downs and Granite Belt will be required to comply with the Southern Downs Regional Council's high-level water restrictions which come into force today, Thursday 1 November.

Under high level restrictions the council's target level for water consumption is a maximum of 170 litres per person per day - down from 200 litres per day under medium-level restrictions.

The council says data from the region's water treatment plants indicates town-dwelling Southern Downs residents use up to 60 per cent of their water supply for outdoor purposes.

High-level restrictions ban the

use of sprinklers and fixed irrigation systems, washing vehicles and buildings with a "trigger hose" or high-pressure water unit and topping up pools and spas and fountains.

Outdoor water use is now restricted on your property's allocated days to 6pm to 7pm until next April.

The next level above "high" level water restrictions is "extreme", with the daily per person target just 140 litres.

Penalties apply for breaching the rules and council water patrol officers are doing the rounds.

For the full list of high-level water restrictions call the council on 1300 697 372 or visit www.sdrc.qld.gov.au

THE END OF ’THE GREAT WAR’ Ahead of Remembrance Day 2018 next Sunday 11 November, Warwick RSL Sub Branch president JOHN SKINNER unearthed this piece from the Warwick Examiner and Times from Wednesday 13 November 1918, proclaiming the end of World War One...in case you’ve never encountered the world “poltroonery“ before (as John hadn’t and neither had we), it means “a wretched coward“ or “marked by utter cowardice“... ● TIDE OF WAR EASES “The grim tide of war has ebbed and all hearts are united in the trust that it will never swell again. The signing of the armistice conditions by the German plenipotentiaries marks a new era in human affairs. For over four years the leading nations of the world have been unable to discern the sun of peace shining above the dark clouds of war which hung as a pall over mankind.

Suddenly it has burst through in its fullest splendour, and to-day we are very properly rejoicing. It has been more than four years of alternating sadness and gladness, of hope and depression, of heroic effort and sometimes miserable poltroonery. In the latter connection we are glad to say that the Allies’ cause has never been disgraced. We wonder if Germany and the friends who deserted her can say the same. We have seen vice at its worst, cowardice in the most repellent form, and cruelty such as a modem civilisation never imagined.

On the other hand we have seen the great and enduring virtues of courage, faithfulness, seemly deportment in the face of apparent disaster, comradeship, and Christian help shiningly set forth.

We have seen the time when one almost seemed to despair of mankind, but today we feel a deep sense of gratitude that throughout the whole course of the war an inscrutable Providence was really fashioning us so that we might the better understand His intentions and the supremacy on earth of the right. Yesterday we publicly celebrated the magnificent victory which the Allies have achieved over German materialism - a materialism which held that the sword, dripping with blood, was the real ruler of the earth rather than virtue as expressed in the eight

In the midst of our celebrations, which, in the case of Warwick, have been of unparalleled magnitude, we should never forget that behind all there should be a deep thankfulness for the great gift of peace and a decision to so mould our future lives that war will never again devastate the earth. Rudyard Kipling’s famous “Recessional“ is worthy of full quotation in this connection:God of our fathers, known of old -Lord of our far-flung battle line -Beneath whose awful hand we hold

Dominion over palm and pine -Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget -- lest we forget!

The tumult and the shouting dies -The Captains and the Kings depart -Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart.

Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget -- lest we forget!

Far-called our navies melt away -On dune and headland sinks the fire -Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!

Judge of the Nations, spare us yet, Lest we forget -- lest we forget!

If, drunk with sight of power, we loose Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe -Such boastings as the Gentiles use, Or lesser breeds without the Law -Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget -- lest we forget!

For heathen heart that puts her trust In reeking tube and iron shard -All valiant dust that builds on dust, And guarding calls not Thee to guard.

For frantic boast and foolish word, Thy Mercy on Thy People, Lord!

Amen.“ ●

My Health Record places your health in your hand

8 SOUTHERN FREE TIMES

Thursday, 1 November, 2018

Over 50’s fitness expert Bill Hardy believes My Health Record is the way of the future

• You don’t need to remember the dates of tests, medicine names or dosages.

• Because healthcare providers have better access to clinical information, they have a more detailed picture to make decisions, diagnose and provide treatment.

• You can control what information goes into your My Health Record and restrict who is allowed to access it.

• For those that require assistance accessing your My Health Record, you can nominate someone to act on your behalf or ask healthcare providers involved in your care to add information to your record.

• My Health Record has multi-layered security processes and strong safeguards in place to protect your information.

By the end of 2018, a My Health Record will be created for every Australian, unless they choose not to have one. If you don’t want a My Health Record, you can opt out by 15 November 2018.

For more information visit myhealthrecord.gov.au or call 1800 723 471.

12401926-CG43-18

My Health Record is here and by the end of 2018, a record will be created for every person with a Medicare or Department of Veterans’ Affairs card, unless they choose not to have one.

My Health Record is an online summary of a person’s key health information such as allergies, current conditions and treatments, medicine details, as well as pathology and diagnostic imaging reports. It allows your nominated healthcare providers access to a summary of your health record when they need to.

Local community member Craig Lewis has a number of health concerns and knows first-hand the importance of having a My Health Record - he can keep all of his health information online in one place and can choose which medical professionals can see it.

“My Health Record has been greatly beneficial to me and to the health professionals that I am in contact with. I see a wide variety of doctors both in hospital and private practice and it allows both me and them to easily see what treatments and medications each health professional has prescribed.”

Craig has also travelled interstate and during these trips, his My Health Record has provided comfort and piece of mind knowing that all of his key information is accessible in the one place.

“Having a My Health Record means that I know that no matter where I travel in Australia, if I get sick, my treating health professionals can view my record and make decisions about my care.”

As a central repository of documents from different healthcare providers, My Health Record stores information that can be accessed at the point of care.

Some key things to remember about My Health Record: • Your important healthcare information is available in one place and accessible by your doctors, specialists or hospitals.

• When moving interstate or travelling, your information can be viewed securely online.

• In emergency situations, treating doctors can view information such as current medications and Advance Care Plans to provide appropriate treatment quickly.

HARD WORK LEADS TO TRACK WORK

BY JEREMY SOLLARS Participants from Warwick State High School's 'Formula Student' program got the chance to put the race car they built from scratch this year through its paces at Brisbane's Lakeside Park last Friday 26 October.

The Free Times has been following the program which involves construction of a production vehicle along the lines of a sports car and is run at a number of high schools across south-east Queensland, with teams from 14 others joining our fellow revheads from Warwick SHS at Lakeside Park for a day of trial runs.

The Formula Student concept was the brainchild of Brisbane businessman and motorsport enthusiast Greig Frankham, with Dalby SHS taking out the overall honours last week, while our local crew won the 'Best-Presented Car' award.

The Year 12 members of the program built the 2018 vehicle and the Year 11 participants have been working on next year's, which is now at the pre-assembly stage.

Last week's trial saw 10 Year 12 students take to the track over two three-hour sessions of driving, in 35 degree heat.

Program supervisor and manual arts and design technology teacher Michael Plant said the students worked as a team on the day to change drivers and conduct pit and

fuel stops - and proudly represented their school.

"There were grins from ear to ear - it was an extremely well-run day and Lakeside were terrific," Michael said.

"We weren't the fastest on the day but we were consistent and we didn't have any major mishaps.

"But it wasn't a speed trial, it was an endurance trial and the main goal of the day was to have fun.

"The camaraderie between the schools was great to see.

"We were very pleased with how the car ran - there were no reliability issues but we will be making some minor modifications to improve things like air-flow to the engine and the car's weight.

"These were things we learnt from the trial."

Michael thanked the parents of the students who made the trip to Lakeside Park and Warwick SHS principal Joy Craig, who also came along for the ride.

The Formula Student program is run out of Warwick SHS's Trade Training Centre at the corner of Victoria and Guy Streets, a fully-equipped engineering workshop.

The program is supported by a range of local businesses, including Warwick Holden, Mirror Finish Smash Repairs, We R Signs, Warwick Screenprinting and Embroidery, Warwick Sandblast and Powderpaint and Arcpoint Industries at Allora. ●

The Year 12 students worked as team - both as drivers and as pit crew.

The Formula Student program has been a lesson in both technical skills and in working as a team.

The grin on the face says it all...

CASEY O’CONNOR

BIG RACE DAYS ARE THE FOCUS It's been a remarkable seven days in sport - Winx fever struck the nation last weekend as the mare once again wrote another page in racing history. Her Cox Plate win and the scenes at Moonee Valley were spine-tingling stuff as we all felt the love. Now as Winx begins a well-earned holiday attention turns to one of the most prestigious days on the Australian calendar, AAMI VRC Derby Day and in turn the Melbourne Cup. Thinkin Big holds Derby favouritism and will secure a berth in the Melbourne Cup if he wins. I like Aramayo, Stars of Carrum and Mickey Blue Eyes in the Derby and no doubt have put the Casey Jinx on their hopes.

After the euphoria of Cox Plate Day we all came down to earth with a thud when the long-awaited review into Australian cricket was released. Please someone explain how the Chairman of Cricket Australia still has his job after accepting responsibility for the debacle that is currently Australian cricket - surely he should stand aside.

Bouquets to Tim Paine who spoke like a true Australian cricket captain when he fronted the media.

How refreshing as fans to hear a player admit "We just got a little bit wrapped up in our self-importance". He is 100% correct, it is not the players' cricket team - it is and always will be Australia's cricket team. He admits the team lost that concept.

Will CA have the kahonas to implement some of the recommendations including sending players off for inappropriate or over the top sledging? Interesting times ahead.

- Casey

FINDING A CUP WINNER There are a myriad of systems people swear by to find the Melbourne Cup winner. Here are some facts which might help or just confuse you more.

Four and Five year olds have the best winning record in the Cup. The last three year old to win the Cup was Skipton back in 1941.

Weight is a big thing in the handicap race. Useless but interesting information Phar Lap lumped the highest ever weight in the Cup - 68kgs and was beaten. It is horses down in the weights that have had the most success. On 16 occasions horses 52kgs and 53kgs have saluted. Those carrying 47; 48; 51 and 56kgs have each won seven times.

Only 23% of favourites have greeted teh judge however 73 favourites have a finished in teh first three.

100/1 shots have won only three cups the last Prince of Penzance the first winner ridden by a female jockey, Michelle Payne.

The longest priced winners in the past 20 years are Viewed 40/1 (2008); Tawriffic 30/1 (1980) and Prince of Penzance 100/1 (2015).

16 winners have started at 10/1; and 14 at 8/1. Dual winners are rare and only Makybe Diva; the 3200metre freak has won the race three times.

Billy and Peter Cook remain the only father son jockey combination to taste success in the Cup. Although many like to use the Caulfield Cup as a guide to the Cup only 11 horses have managed the feat. The last was Ethereal in 2001.

If you like to bet on jockeys colours 17 winners have sported back as the main colour however the last winner in that category was Evening Peal in 1956. Navy and royal blue have featured in the colours freetimes.com.au

points up for grabs, definitely more laughs and good food and raffles.

The Tanny club was well represented last Sunday at the Summit Carnival and Tuck, Shep and Mick came home with a win.

Congratulations well played.

PICK YOUR MALLET DISCIPLINE

of 14 winners.

If it is saddle cloth numbers then you 4 and 12 should be in your sights. They have each graced the winning post first on 11 occasions.

Number 2 and 19 each have seven wins apeice. Makybe Diva is the last winner to carry the No 1 saddlecloth. TAB nos 4 and six have won four of the past 15 Cups. The Unluckiest Melbourne Cup saddlecloth is No. 18.

Barrier 18 is also the only gate never to produce a winner since the inception of barriers in 1924.

Barrier 5 is the most successful starting gate.

The last Melbourne Cup winner to salute from the outside barrier was Brew (2000).

Barriers 6, 12, 15, 18, 19, 23 and 24 have not produced a Melbourne Cup winner 1983 and only six greys have won the Cup. It is a long way out from the Cup and plenty can change before Tuesday however I think there could be another Cummings in the winner's circle with Avilius.

Youngstar, Red Verdon and Finche are also on my radar. Of course don't leave out the old man and sentimental favourite, Who Shot the Barman if you are having a shot at the trifecta and first four. He is sure to be in the call in the straight. If after all that information you are more confused than ever on Tuesday morning may I suggest you go hunting for a trusty pin. Good luck.

BIG WEEKEND OF GOLF Golfers from 15 clubs joined Stanthorpe players last weekend for the annual Stanthorpe Golf Open. Played over two days the Open was once again sponsored

by Maddie's Gift Gallery and the City Golf Club Toowoomba.

The weather gods were kind to players and organisers and with the recent welcome rain the course was presented in A1 condition for the popular event.

Ian Pickering and Len Leigh used their local knowledge to full advantage on Saturday in the medley four ball Stableford event returning 46 points for the round.

Pickering scored on 12 holes and was well backed up by his playing partner to keep the scoring intact. The pair played a steady front nine carding 21 points but powered home on the back nine scoring 25 points.

Finding a runner up was challenging.

The count back procedure was in overdrive when nine pairs returned a score of 454 points.

When all said and done it was another local pairing declared runners-up - Stephen Kay and Keith Alien. The remaining teams relegated to the run down.

92 players backed up for Sundays single events. The men played a stroke event and the Ladies a Stableford.

Play progressed smoothly through the morning and afternoon sessions and once again the local players rose to the occasion.

In the Men's event Scott Constable continued his recent run of good form

returning 75 for the round to be named Open Champion. Rob Reeves returned the best nett score of 66.

Lyn Ludlow claimed the Overall win in the ladies' event. Her score of 37 points three clear of the remainder of the field.

The Carnival weekend, although busy was very successful. The busy weekend went off without a hitch thanks to the hard work on both days of a small army of supporters and members. Special thanks to Bill Pyne, the Stanthorpe greenkeeper who did a wonderful job and presented the course in perfect condition. Ron Batterham also deserves special mention. He managed to get the big fields out on the course on time and collected and collated the scores at the end of play. Collating some of those scores must have been a nightmare.

After a big weekend last weekend the Stanthorpe golfing fraternity will play the Poole's Produce Golf Day on Saturday for November Monthly Medal and putting competition in conjunction with the Medal of Medallists.

The Men qualified for the Medal of Medallists will be playing for the Roy Carnell Trophy and the ladies event is sponsored by Tom and Trish Fittock.

Sunday Sporters return after a lazy weekend last weekend making way for the Stanthorpe Open. Tee off times as normal.

The evening's runners up Ash Coleman, Scott Petersen and Crocodile had a two point win over theire opponents Brodie Weier, Glen Boal and Fritzy.

Three Croquet disciplines were played last week on the Stanthorpe court: - Association Croquet, Ricochet and Gateball.

The Association Croquet players were on court on Tuesday. Andrea Denkewitz and Joy Newman had a three hoop win in their game against rival Carol Verwey and Jenny Tunbridge (17-14). The winners both recorded breaks of two while on the losing team Carol Verwey had two breaks of two hoops in a row. Pat Schnoor and partner Heather Widderick scored a comprehensive 26-63 win over Peter Tunbridge and Effey Russell. Schnoor played very well scoring three breaks of two hoops.

On Thursday morning the Ricochet players enjoyed some competitive games.

Andrea Denkewitz and Bron Southgate had a 26-16 win against Liz Ellway and Jenny Tunbridge. Southgate produced the best shot of the day in this game.

Sharyn Roser recorded a personal best of four hoops in a row as she and partner Carol Verwey scored a 26-17 win against Peter Tunbridge. Verwey also played her part in the win recording two breaks of three in a row.

Friday morning the Gateball group were on court. The opening game was a close affair with Team One (Andrea Denkewitz, Bill Golding, Grace Howard and Heather Widderick) scoring a 10-8 win over their Team Two opponents (Sharyn Roser, Les Williams, Joy Newman and Val Fancourt).

Team One's delight was short lived however with Team Two coming back to win the following three games and claim bragging rights. There was a good combination of teamwork and individual play in the wins by Team Two.

RSL AND VALLEYS OPEN ACCOUNT The Stanthorpe cricket season got underway on Saturday. RSL without several of their star performers took on Wanderers. The reigning premiers showed all of their class after winning the toss and choosing to bat first on Sheehan Oval. After a solid start Wanderers dismissed their opponents for 173. A good effort on what was a good pitch. Chris Williams and Andrew Einam did most of the damage with the ball. Sam Dowie, Jason Lawer and Will Dowie were the leading batsmen.

Wanderers did not take advantage of teh conditions and Josh Wren had them in plenty of trouble taking 5/11 as Wanderers slumped to 7/31.It was left to some of the lower order to save Wanderers from complete humiliation. Weylin Aldridge surprised scoring 40 and Ryan Jones held up the other end but the result looked inevitable after Wanderers poor start and they were dismissed for 113.

On the CF White turf Tenterfield batted first against Valleys. They posted a meagre 105. Valley's Kirby Morunga took 3/16 with the new ball and Anthony Marino produced an impressive spell bagging 4-34.

Valleys chased down the target in 17.5 overs despite a couple of hiccups. Curtis Alien top scored with 55.

This week South's open their season with a game against South's and RSL take on Tenterfield. Valleys have the bye.
