War Memorial preserved

Cobar residents are now required to wear masks in all indoor non-residential settings in line with new COVID restrictions that came into effect on Saturday night.

While Cobar continues to be COVID-free, we are however required to abide by the new regulations which include wearing masks in supermarkets, retail outlets, the gym, service stations, pubs and clubs, all workplaces and also at outdoor organised events (including the Cobar Camels home game this Saturday).

Most local businesses have had to only make minor adjustments to the way they conduct their businesses but are now strongly enforcing customers to mask up, QR sign in upon entry and practice social distancing The Great Western Hotel has elected to close their bar and only open the restaurant for takeaways. Licensee Rachael Warren said with such a small bar area it was too hard to get patrons to adhere to the one person per four square metre rule and to remain seated while drinking.

In line with the four square metre rule, Gumnuts Café has cut down the number of diners permitted inside while the Cobar Services Club has reduced their opening hours in the club and restaurant.

Local children’s services are enforcing parents to wear masks at pick up and drop off.

(Children under 12 years of age are not required to wear a mask but may elect to do so.)

Visitors to households are limited to five guests (including children).

The new measures have been introduced to help restrict the spread of COVID-19.

Rural Crime Prevention Team keen to help

The Cobar War Memorial Children’s Hostel committee has struck a deal for Cobar Shire Council to purchase the hostel complex on the corner of Barton and Blakey streets for $1. The current committee has concluded that the now vacant complex has reached the end of its purpose of providing accommodation to isolated children for education purposes. One of the conditions of the “sale” is that Council preserve and continue to maintain the ‘Lest we Forget’ memorial and that it be made available for future Anzac Day services. Council has agreed to the offer to take over the hostel for “community use”. See article on Page 2.

Council to take on children’s hostel

Making Cobar a safer place

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras have been installed around the town over the past week including this mobile, solar-powered camera at the Newey recreation area. The new cameras have been installed to protect a number of Council’s community assets including the Cobar Library, the Council Chambers/Drummond Park and the Council depot. The $350,000 project was funded under Phase One of the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program.

Cobar Shire Council mail@cobar.nsw.gov.au PO Box 223, COBAR, NSW, 2835 Peter Vlatko, General Manager

Cobar Shire Councillors voted at last Thursday’s Ordinary Council Meeting to purchase the Cobar War Memorial Children’s Hostel.

The hostel’s current committee invited Council to purchase the hostel for $1.

The large complex on the corner of Barton and Blakey streets, which was completed in 1952, consists of a single-storey multi-room building with a detached hall, a separate three bedroom self-contained apartment and a large office space/enclosed verandah.

Cobar War Memorial Children’s Hostel committee member (and a former long time hostel boarder) Colleen Boucher said the committee had discussed the future of the hostel which has not accommodated children for about 10 years.

Mrs Boucher said with the government offering subsidies for rural families to put their kids on buses and, with a number of families having a second home in town, there wasn’t a need these days for the accommodation.

She said they reached the conclusion that it had served its purpose and that it would become a burden for the volunteer committee to continue to maintain.

The complex has been privately leased on and off over the past 10 years but is now vacant.

Mrs Boucher said selling to Council would ensure it would be maintained and retained as a community facility and, importantly, the that the war memorial would be preserved.

Cobar crew praised for quick response to hazard clean-up Staff from Fire and Rescue NSW Cobar Station 256 have been praised for their quick response to a call to help clean up a hazardous material spill on Sunday morning.

On arrival at the Barrier Highway Truck Stop just west of Cobar at around 10am, crews found liquid leaking from a drum on a truck parked at the rest area.

It was determined the substance was NButyl Acetate which is hazardous to health and the environment, and crews began securing the area.

The highway was closed to traffic in both directions as firefighters, in fully encapsulated (airtight) suits and wearing breathing apparatus, worked to contain the liquid.

The cause of the spillage over the truck and also on to the roadway was found to be from a hole in one of the drums onboard the truck.

The driver was alerted to the spill by the smell of the substance filling his cabin when he pulled over at the truck stop.

Crews were able to have the incident contained and cleaned up within four hours with help from a specialist HAZMAT crew from Fire Rescue New South Wales Dubbo 280 Retained.

The Cobar brigade was also assisted by Cobar Headquarters Rural Fire Brigade and a Fire & Rescue NSW Station 406 Nyngan crew.

Retained firefighters from Fire and Rescue NSW Cobar Station 256 were quick to respond One lane of traffic was opened just before 2pm and the Barrier Highway was completely to a hazard spill on the Barrier Highway on Sunday morning. ▪ Photo contributed open and operating as normal just before 3pm.

Paramedics called after a fall Cobar Paramedics were called to the intersection of Marshall and Bourke streets on Monday afternoon following a report that a man had fallen on the road.

Paramedics were alerted to the accident by a 000 call around 6pm by a bystander who went to render assistance to the man after he had fallen on the roadway.

The man, believed to be in his early 40s, suffered injuries to his face as a result of the fall. He was conveyed by an ambulance to Cobar Hospital for further medical treatment.

It’s reported he was released from hospital later that night.

Local producer invited to present at MeatUp forum

Andrew Mosely was invited to present at a MeatUp Forum in Broken Hill last week.

Andrew and daughter Emily, who worked with him on the presentation, are pictured at the forum. ▪ Photo contributed

Local producer Andrew Mosely was invited to present at the Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) MeatUp Forum in Broken Hill last week.

Andrew and his wife Megan run a mixed grazing operation at Etiwanda, 100km south of Cobar with the help of their two daughters Emily and Jess.

The MLA’s MeatUp Forums provide an opportunity for beef, sheep and goat producers to learn something new, stay up-to-date with the latest on-farm research and technologies and meet others working in the red meat industry.

In his presentation (which daughter Emily helped to compile), Mr Mosely spoke about how their business incorporates a centre piece Rangeland Ready™ White Dorper sheep stud, a commercial meat sheep operation as well as commercial beef and goat enterprises.

“The Mosely family have a focus on restoring and rejuvenating the water, mineral and carbon cycles by increasing ground cover and biodiversity, with predominately deep rooted native perennial grasses.

“This regenerative development process is based on the learnings and principles of Holistic Management and Grazing for Profit,” Mr Mosely said.

“The Etiwanda business utilises emerging technologies to enhance the efficiency of production, offset labour requirements and enrich the decision-making process in their Rangeland Ready™ operation.”

He outlined how they use LAMBPLAN which provides practical information on the genetic potential of animals.

Mr Mosely also spoke about the key traits and breeding objectives they have for their

White Dorper enterprise and outlined the success they have had by holistically managing their White Dorper operation.

He offered some tips and tools to forum participants on how to assist with their Dorper operation and Holistic Management practices including the grazing planning and monitoring software that they use and also recommended the use of solar powered electric fence units (that connect to your phone).

Among some of his “take home” messages, Mr Mosely encouraged producers to consider running environmentally fit livestock and to plan for a variable climate.

In addition to other case studies, the forum included a market update from MLA’s Michael Crowley.

New health orders New COVID health orders issued by the NSW Premier and Health Minister on Saturday have resulted in some changes for our local health services.

Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) Chief Executive Scott McLachlan said the new health order, which requires everyone indoors in a non-residential setting to wear a face mask, will apply to all WNSWLHD hospitals, Multipurpose Services, community health and other district workplaces.

“Most health services, including elective surgery, are operating as usual,” Mr McLachlan said. “We will continue to conduct temperature checking and screening on everyone visiting our services.”

Masks must also be worn when visiting the Cobar Primary Health Care Centre and Dr Indra’s surgery.

Cobar Shire Council has also revised their procedures at the Lilliane Brady Village aged care facility following the latest directives from NSW Health.

All staff and visitors are required to wear a surgical grade mask; only two visitors per day are permitted (per resident); visits should take place in the resident’s room and not in common areas; and no visitors from the Greater Sydney area are permitted to visit the facility.

Anyone displaying symptoms associated with COVID-19 including fever, cough, breathing difficulties, sore throat, loss of smell or taste, runny nose, nausea, fatigue, vomiting and diarrohea is urged not to visit and to get a COVID test.

Cobar Rotarians honoured with prestigious award Cobar Rotarians Gordon and Therese Hill have recently been awarded the prestigious Paul Harris Fellow award in recognition of their ongoing work with the Cobar Drought Appeal.

Gordon said while the drought may be “officially” broken, a good number of local landholders are still in the drought recovery phase.

“Some people still don’t have any income; they haven’t been able to re-stock as stock prices are sky high,” Mr Hill said.

“Some still need help with their day to day expenses and so we’re continuing to provide them with vouchers.”

The Hills were nominated for the award by the Rotary Club of Kogarah who Mr Hill reports have been “great supporters of the Cobar Drought Appeal”.

Rotary District 9675 Area Assistant Governor Peter Judd presented the Hills with their award on a recent visit to Cobar and praised them for their ongoing work to help farmers in western NSW that have been affected by the drought.

Mr Hill said when they first set up the appeal in October 2018 they thought “it would only be for a couple of weeks”.

Councillors vote to re-allocate funding Cobar Shire Councillors voted to allocate funding from the Fixing Local Roads program to Shire Road 12 as a priority over Shire Road 2 at last week’s Ordinary Council Meeting.

In a report to council, Cobar Shire’s director of infrastructure services, Scott Casey, outlined options that would benefit from grant funding from Round 3 of the NSW Government’s Fixing Local Roads program.

Mr Casey put forward five shire roads, SR2 (78 Mile Road to Tilpa), SR10 (Belarabon Road), SR12 (Yathong Road), SR18 (Bruce Cullenward Road) and SR46 (Rosevale Road) which he reported all fit the funding criteria.

While Mr Casey listed SR2 as their first priority, Cr Bob Sinclair made a recommendation to the meeting that the grant funding be allocated to SR12.

He said the road, which goes to Yathong National Park and ends at Angel’s Pass on the Cobar Shire boundary, has had very little funding spent on it.

Cr Julie Payne said it had been reported to her that SR2 was in an “atrocious” condition.

Cr Sinclair said he had recently driven over both roads and felt SR12 was in more need of the funding with sections of the road dangerous and almost impassable.

“I consider it to be far worse than SR2,” he said.

Councillors agreed with Cr Sinclair and SR2 will be put forward as a priority for funding.

Local artist is helping to brighten up the main street Following a raft of positive feedback about the mural she painted at the Newey Reserve, local artist Seigrid Peters has been contracted by Cobar Shire Council to create more of her unique artworks to help brighten up the CBD. Seigrid has been working over the past week creating mini murals on the electrical distribution boxes around the CBD. As a representation of the local area, she’s working to an agriculture theme with goats, working dogs, sheep, cattle, horses and crops her main subjects.

Seigrid said she has been incredibly lucky to be able to share her artwork throughout the main street which is catching the attention of lots of locals and visitors.

“I’ve spoken to so many tourists today, it’s amazing to see just how many people are coming to visit Cobar,” Seigrid said on Friday.

Council has also invited Seigrid to be its new delegate on the Outback Arts board.

Cobar Shire contributes $10,000 per year to be a member of Outback Arts which works directly with artists, individuals, community groups and councils to foster and enhance art and cultural activities in the region.

Cobar is one of seven contributing local government areas to Outback Arts along with Bourke, Brewarrina, Nyngan, Coonamble, Walgett and Warren.

As Cobar’s delegate, Seigrid said she is looking forward to taking and receiving ideas for our local community to create more artistic opportunities for our area.

Punters Club Adam to bet

State Member for Barwon Roy Butler believes the 2021-22 NSW Budget delivered by the NSW Treasurer last week will be good for the Barwon electorate.

“This year there is $740 million in electorate-specific funding, many of the projects funded including road upgrades, domestic water supply projects, and local park upgrades come from Councils and community groups across the electorate talking to me and my team,” Mr Butler said.

“I’ve taken up getting funding with Government Ministers and this positive budget for us is the result.

“There is always more to do, and we are playing catch up after years of underinvestment, but overall I’m happy with how we’ve fared,” he said.

“There are a few announcements that I’m particularly happy about and a few where the devil is in the detail.”

He was pleased the new budget included funding for 203 Regional Paramedics to train to become Intensive Care Paramedics, however he was unsure how many paramedics it would apply to in Barwon.

He was also happy that the government would be spending more money to improve mobile phone blackspots and that $150 million had been announced for mice eradication, even if it comes too late for many farmers who have already had their properties devastated by the mice plague.

Other wins in the Budget for Barwon include more funding for health professionals with the government committing to employing “almost 1,800 more nurses, midwives, doctors and allied health staff in the year ahead”.

“Goodness knows we could do with a fair few of them in our health facilities in Barwon,” Mr Butler said.

Also announced in the Budget was $1.64 billion for buses, bus routes and school bus routes.

“It’s another issue that I’ve continually raised with the Government – school bus route funding across the west.

“I’ll keep beating the drum to make sure we get a slice of this funding,” Mr Butler said.

Resources for Regions funding

Win a Family Pass to Taronga Western Plains Zoo, Dubbo

Cobar Shire Council has been allocated just over $7.7 million from the latest round of the NSW Government’s Resources for Regions Program.

The program has been operating since 2012 and aims to give back to mining communities in regional NSW to ensure their ongoing prosperity.

From Round 8 of the program pool of $75 million, Cobar Shire has been allocated $7,720,076.

Council’s general manager Peter Vlatko said Council has been encouraged to work with the Department of Regional NSW to put forward eligible projects and programs that align with their program’s objectives to support the ongoing long-term prosperity of mining communities in regional NSW. The grant can be used in three ways: for infrastructure projects, programs and also to create business cases for future projects in the planning.

Projects must provide the community with economic opportunities, improved amenities and positive social outcomes.

Based on their eligibility, Mr Vlatko put forward five projects and three business case studies to councillors for their consideration at last week’s Ordinary Council Meeting.

The projects were: Early Intervention and

cantly more rainfall with Bob Sinclair recording 30mm for the week at Berangabah in the south of the shire.

Landholders in the west recorded up to 26mm while in the north the falls were lighter, but still good, with up to 18mm received.

According to the Bureau, this year’s total to date is lower than their 2020 figures which show we had 282.8mm up to the same time last year.

More rain is predicted for this week with a 50 percent chance of 0-1mm of rain today, our chances increase tomorrow to an 80 percent chance of 1-5mm while on Friday there’s a 10 per cent chance of a shower.

A top temperature of 18 degrees is predicted for today, tomorrow and Friday.

The weekend will however be cooler with a cloudy 14 degrees forecast for Saturday, while Sunday is expected to be sunny with a top of 13 degrees.

Outreach Program for Children 0-12 years ($120,000); Stage 3 Upgrade to the Cobar Youth & Fitness Centre ($1m); Upgrade Ward Oval pavilions ($1m); Stage 2 and 3 Upgrade to Great Cobar Heritage Centre ($1.5m); and industrial estate/new residential estate ($4.4m).

The business case studies included: Dalton Park Racecourse Wetlands ($75,000); Activating Main Street Project ($100,000); and Swimming Pool Master Plan project ($25,000).

“It is recommended that these projects be endorsed as they are allocating grants to some existing projects that can be finalised and delivered for the community,” Mr Vlatko said.

Cr Peter Yench moved that the funding be amended and put toward securing water storage and preventing evaporation, however his motion lapsed for want of a seconder.

Councillors voted in favour of the projects listed by Mr Vlatko with Cr Yench calling for his objection to be noted.

VIEW Club donates to Winter Appeal

The annual ‘Bring and Buy’ table was a feature at the June meeting of Cobar VIEW Club last week.

The sale of the donated goods, which included homemade cakes and preserves and handcrafted items together with fresh eggs, herbs, plants and pre-loved books, raised funds for the club’s running expenses.

News from VIEW Club’s head office informed members that the Governor General of Australia, David Hurley has accepted the role of Patron to The Smith family.

He joins his wife Linda (Patron of VIEW Clubs of Australia) in working for the organisation which gives valuable assistance to needy families.

At last week’s meeting, members were asked to consider three resolutions for VIEW’s Annual Convention in Adelaide: safe affordable housing for women and children; better support for students post school futures; and reducing the use of plastics.

Members agreed to donate $1,000 to The Smith Family Winter Appeal.

Faye Ansin won the raffle and Bev Anderson the lucky door prize.

In other VIEW Club news, it has been sadly reported that with a lack of younger women joining their groups, several VIEW clubs around Australia have been abandoned in the past year due to older members not being able to handle the increase in technical documentation.—contributed

“We have never seen the Canbelego cemetery looking better. It has a beautiful, peaceful aura to it. There is a lot of history there and that must not be lost,” he said.

• Congratulations to former Cobar Police officer Sue Huggins who was highly commended by the NSW Police Commissioner last week at an awards ceremony in Sydney for being a role model in the advancement of women in policing. Sergeant Susan Huggins is now based at the Lake Illawarra Police Station. She and husband Scott lived and worked in Cobar from 2000 to 2010.

• Did you know that the NSW Government’s Dine & Discover voucher program has been extended for another month? You now have until the end of July to use your Dine vouchers in Cobar.

• It was a shame that there were only six local landholders in attendance at last Wednesday night’s Rural Crime Community Forum at the Golfie. However those that did attend report they learnt some valuable information.

• Thanks very much to three of our “local photographers” who have helped us out this week.

Cheers to Samantha Smith who went along and snapped some fabulous pics for us at the Outback Outloud launch party on Friday afternoon at the Golfie. Thanks also to John de Bruin who’s ‘Cobar sign’ photo we borrowed on Page 8 this week. John’s new phone just takes amazing photos! And thanks also to profession-

along to the league on Saturday to give our photographer some tips on how to improve her photography skills. Klae, who’s now based in Sale in Victoria, is back in town for a few weeks as he is working on a number of top secret rural assignments. We hear he’s also working on a new calendar. Stay tuned for that!

• The Cobar Roosters players, officials and spectators paused for a minute before the First Grade game on Saturday at Tom Knight Memorial Oval to remember those who have lost their lives to mental health illness and also to club supporter, Robert Strong, who passed away recently.

Camels outclassed The Cobar Camels were outclassed by the Nyngan Bulls in their Western Plains Rugby Union game on Saturday.

It was ‘Old Boys’ day in Nyngan on Saturday and the Camels travelled with 16 players, a group of Cobar Old Boys and some Bactrians who lent their support on the sidelines.

It was a tough fought game with the Camels taking a penalty kick early to get points on the board. Multiple attempts by the Camels to cross the try line during the game were denied on each occasion by the Bogan Bulls leaving the Camels with only their three points at full time. To their credit, the Camels did manage to thwart tries by the Bulls on three occasions but it wasn’t enough as they got 69 points up on them.

Cobar’s Best & Fairest points were earned

by Tom Best (3), Sam Jeffery (2) and one point went to Mitch Dunne and Jack Fazulla with Dunne the Players’ Player.

A one point win Divas held out for a thrilling one point win over JKM in their A Grade game of the Senior Netball competition on Saturday at the Ward Oval courts.

JKM surprised the ladder leaders taking the lead from the outset and, by the first break, JKM had a five point advantage over the slow starting Divas.

Divas bounced back with a high scoring second quarter posting a whopping 16 goals to give them a 21-18 lead by half time.

The see-saw once again tipped in JKM’s favour in the third quarter and they took back the lead (32-29) at three quarter time.

Divas are however well known for their fightback spirit and come back they did in the final quarter outpointing JKM 14-10 to eventually finish with a 43-42 win.

In the other A Grade match, Pumpettes had their feathers ruffled a bit by Hot Shots however they held their composure and finished strongly to win 62-43.

After a slow start by both teams Briana Coffey found the net confidently to give Hot Shots a good start before Pumpettes kicked into gear and had posted a 16-8 lead by the end of the first quarter.

A second quarter defensive change by Pumpettes allowed the Hot Shots shooters to get on a roll and they shot five uncontested goals before Pumpettes took back control of the match when Kelly Fairbank and Hayley Walker shut down the midcourt play to move Pumpettes along to a 29-20 lead by the half time break.

Pumpettes were well-served in the third quarter by Jo Carter who displayed some fancy footwork in the centre court to gain some important intercepts while Emma Barton (who very capably plays in the Goal Shooter position), showed she also has impressive defensive skills when she moved to Goal Keeper.

The Pumpettes shooters lost their mojo again in the final quarter which gave the Hot Shots team some hope, but the smiling defenders, Molly Carter and Jayme Francisco, continued to work hard turning the ball over to see Pumpettes through to the 62-43 win.

In B Grade Golfie Mystics finished with a good 37-28 win over Sharpe Shooters.

Both sides started fairly evenly with Mystics managing to sink a few extra goals to have a 9-5 advantage at the first break.

By half time it was still a close game with Mystics slightly ahead 21-15.

Sharpe Shooters matched Mystics in the third quarter with both sides scoring eight goals for the period but Mystics held out to better Sharper Shooters by three goals in the final quarter and finish with a nine point win.

In the other scheduled B Grade game, Gumnuts forfeited to Real Steel.

Jones makes history with 170 throw There was a first in the local darts competition last Wednesday night with Craig Jones recording a 170 peg out score, which is reportedly the highest ever in the local club’s history.

The Golfie Spearchuckers had an easy 7-2 win over Western Renegades in their match last week while the RSL Diggers defeated Golfie Dartaholics 7-4 and the Golfie Gophers were big 8-3 winners in their match with the Empire Barflies.

Hundreds and high scores were thrown by: Golfie Gophers—Chris Hooker 100; Empire Barflies—Racheal Carey 101; Waylon Ward– 123; RSL Diggers—Tony Brown 100, 140,

Page 18 The Cobar Weekly Wednesday June 30, 2021

125 and Shane Haddy 125; Golfie Dartaholics—Jason Arnold 100 Bian Smith 140, 100 and Craig Jones 100, 140 and 170; Western Renegades—Jonathan Brown 126; Golfie Spearchuckers—Dick Tulloh 120, Robbie Cummins 100 and Darryl Curtis 115.

The ladies highest score of the week was 101 recorded by Racheal Carey while the Men’s highest score was Craig Jones’ 170.

Kylie Tiffen had the highest peg out for the ladies with 50 while Craig Jones’ 170 peg out was, of course, the highest for the men—ever!

The competition will take a two week recess as there are no games scheduled to be played during the school holidays.

Juniors celebrate

Castlereagh Rugby League sideline official, Ben Trudgett, confirmed with the Youth League game referee, Paddy Hallcroft, that he was “happy” that Cobar’s first try in their match on Saturday against Baradine, scored by Ben Griffiths, was properly grounded.

Our photo of the try affirms Trudgett’s ruling. It was the first of two tries that Griffiths scored for the Roosters in their narrow 22-20 loss to the Magpies on Saturday at Tom Knight Memorial Oval.

Bantam Roosters stage a fightback A few more minutes on the clock was all the Cobar Roosters Under 18s needed in their Castlereagh Youth League match against Baradine on Saturday at Tom Knight Memorial Oval.

After being down 14-4 at half time, after Ben Griffiths sensationally scored for the young Roosters just before the break, the Cobar side fought back in the second half and they came achingly close to pulling off an upset win.

Despite playing short for the last seven minutes (with a player in the sin-bin), Baradine however held out to finish with a close 22-20 victory.

At three-quarter time Baradine comfortably led 22-4 but that was before the young Roosters revived their attack.

They really put the wind up the visitors when Cobar took control of the game and Zane Taylor crossed for two tries and Griffiths touched down again in the final minute of the game.

However time was against the Roosters and Baradine held on to post the two point win.

Ted Smith, with a number of inspiring runs and strong defence throughout the match, collected the coach’s Best & Fairest three points with Taylor earning two points and Griffith collected one point.

Cobar Junior Rugby League had cause for a couple of celebrations on Saturday with their Under 10s finishing with a win in Round 8 of the Dubbo & District competition while the Under 11s had another thriller game which finished in a draw.

The Roosters Under 10s won their match 28-4 over St John’s Maroon with George McDonald leading the scoring with three tries.

Mason King and Jaxon Waugh also crossed for tries. Conversions were kicked by Mason King, Jaxon Waugh, George McDonald and Temi Adesina. Riley Bruce and Temi Adesina picked up the Coach’s Awards.

Cobar’s Under 11s finished with an 18-all draw with St John’s Blue.

Eli Martin crossed twice for the Roosters with Cohan Nicholson also scoring a try.

Cohan, Rowdy Barton and Billy George were responsible for their conversions with Rowdy and Billy sharing the Coach’s Awards.

In the Under 9s non-competitive game with St John’s Maroon, the Coach’s Awards went to Logan Fennamore and Lucas Townsend.

The Roosters Under 12s were beaten 28-10 by the St John’s Blue visitors.

Nate Martin and Jacob Chandler scored tries for Cobar with Rowdy Barton converting one.

A new favourite

Mike Sargent has stormed into the favourite position for the Golfie’s men’s Singles bowls title after thumping two former champions in consecutive weeks.

Last Tuesday he battled it out with Daniel Holt in what started out as a fairly even match until Sargent pulled away to finish with a convincing 31-19 win.

In Pairs championship action, Aaron Finn and John Daly took on the mighty duo of Gerard Livingston and Peter ‘Skeet’ Goonrey.

It was 6-all after nine ends when Livingston and Goonrey put the pedal to the metal to go on and win the game 28-12.

A small field of six players turned out for Sunday social bowls with one game of triples being played.

Randall Hall and David Schofield were tasked with the skippers roles and they certainly didn’t disappoint, with both bowling some great deliveries.

The bragging rights however went to Hall who teamed up with Doug Hudson and Craig Grimmond to comfortably win by +9 over Schofield, Shane Carter and David Knight.

While bowling numbers for the week were relatively low, the Giraffe Award was split three ways, with the wildest deliveries coming from Holt (wrong bias), Hall and Hudson (who also bowled someone else’s bowl at one stage).—No bias whatsoever

Polyfabrications golf day attracts a field of 18 The wet conditions on the golf course were evident in the lady golfer’s scores over the weekend and avoiding the mud and puddles of water were additional hazards players had to face.

The Polyfabrications sponsored three lady Ambrose was played on Saturday with 18 golfers taking part.

The smallest of fractions separated the winners Serena Fraser, Sue Phillips and Sally Bannister from the rest of the field.

They finished with a score of 73 2/3 net from runners-up Karen Walsh, Narelle Kriz and Jannine Wilkin on 74 net.

Donna Prendergast made a much welcome return to golf and joined team mates Karen Manns and Geraldine Francisco to place third.

Nearest the Pin winners were Sally Bannister on the 3rd and 7th holes, Robynne Morton on the 8th, Narelle Kriz the 11th and Serena Fraser was closest on the 15th.

The fog was slow to clear for Sunday’s Foursomes Club Championships which seemed to affect most players throughout the 27 holes.

The tough going was reflected in the score cards with most needing to get the calculators out!

The 2021 champions are Narelle Kriz and Fay Hardwick after they finished the day with a score of 142 off the stick.

The runners-up were Geraldine Francisco and Sally Bannister on 150.

The net champions for the year are Sue Phillips and Ann Dunn who posted 117 1/2 with Angela Fryer and Daphne Cross the runnersup on 121 net.

It was another washed out Wednesday last week which left lady golfers wondering what to do with themselves again.

Today the sun should greet players for a Par game with a Four-Ball-Best-Ball Stableford (select own partner) set down for Saturday and a Stableford will be played on Sunday.

Five of Cobar’s lady golfers will be taking on the Dubbo pennants side in Dubbo tomorrow if the predicted rain and COVID restrictions don’t cause the game to be postponed again.—T’d Off

Field of 24 for Men’s Polyfab golf The Polyfabrications Three Man Ambrose Men’s Golf day on Saturday attracted a field of 24 players with the fine weather maybe having had a fair bit to do with that.

Waylon Ward, Glenn ‘Kiwi’ Ratcliff and Jason Foster finished as the winners with a score of 61 5/6 net.

The runners-up were the Frasers, Mark, Alec and Stewart, with a net score of 63 and back in third place were Barry Doyle, Garry Wilkin and Bill Fugar with a net score of 64 2/3.

A smaller field of 14 golfers fronted the starter for Sunday’s Foursome Championships.

Favorites Jay Egan and Garry Wilkin proved too strong for the rest of the field finishing with a creditable 114 off the stick for the 27 hole Scratch event in A Grade. Runners-up, Max

Phillips and Stewart Fraser, finished 10 shots behind the winners.

The B Grade winners in the 27 hole Scratch event were Mick Bannister and Al Sharpe with a scratch score of 143 for the 27 hole event.

Steve Manns and Greg Clark, 16 shots behind, were the B Grade runners-up.

Egan and Wilkin held on to win the 27 hole Net event with a score of 106 1/2. In 2nd place was Phillips and Fraser on 108 1/4.

NTPs were won by Peter ‘China’ Brien (3rd hole) and Wilkin on the 15th hole.

Roosters roll the Magpies in a mammoth 70-0 victory It was all one-way traffic at Tom Knight Memorial Oval on Saturday afternoon as the Cobar Roosters demolished the visiting Baradine Magpies 70-0 in Round 11 of the Christie & Hood Castlereagh Rugby League competition.

The Magpies had few answers to the rampaging Roosters attack and were soundly beaten by a team that is widely tipped to be making an appearance on grand final day.

While the Baradine side didn’t appear to put up too much resistance, to their credit, the Cobar team was in sensational form on Saturday.

And while he was reasonably happy with the final result, Roosters coach Dean ‘Bogga’ McLeod, said there was “still some room for improvement”.

Saturday’s game was barely two minutes old when Ashley Davies opened Cobar’s account

and scored after a near length of the field run.

That was a just a taste of things to come as nine more Cobar players touched down for the Roosters in their mammoth 70-0 win.

Gerald Mackay strolled over for the Roosters second try and David Watson’s successful conversion had them up 10-0 after just seven minutes of play.

Tristan Everett’s strong run and windmill maneuvering through the Baradine defenders resulted in Cobar’s next points.

A kick close to the try line by Tom Plater, which he regathered in a one-on-one strip, had the fragmented Magpies defence scrambling and they were hard pressed to stop the forceful Jed Noonan as he crossed for Cobar’s fourth try.

The Baradine defenders were again caught out and were looking stunned as David Watson

crossed out wide and was allowed to run around in goal and score close to the posts.

His conversion kick was an easy one and took the score along to 28-0.

Jimmy Neyland’s long pass to pacey winger Jack Brown on the fly resulted in their next try and Tim Hillam, who was back to his top form, crossed for the first of his two tries to give the Roosters a 38-0 lead at the half time break.

The Roosters kept the pedal to the metal throughout the second half and, with their injury count climbing, Baradine had no answers.

Brown opened the Roosters account in the second half; Neyland slipped through to score; hard working Nathan McAndrew muscled his way over for their next try; Ben Simon also broke through for a try; Hillam was next to score after he won the ball chase after Watson put a well-weighted kick into the corner; and there were just too many keen Roosters looking for the ball in the closing minutes of the game as Watson sent it wide and Brown scored his third touchdown in the corner to close out their 70-0 win.

Watson finished with seven conversions and Neyland kicked anther two.

Hillam earned Coach McLeod’s Best & Fairest three points, Plater picked up two points and Mackay collected one point.

Plater was named the Roosters Players’ Player of the match.

The Roosters will head to Coonabarabran this Saturday for Round 12.

A ‘Red letter day’ Continued from Page 24.

Shortly after Watson broke away from halfway and outsprinted the Baradine defenders to score under the posts and the successful conversion by Egan had Cobar ahead 24-16.

Just before fulltime Aumua looked like scoring a third try after a near length of the field run but was caught just before the try line by a desperate Baradine defender and the final score remained 24-16 in Cobar’s favour.

Aumua earned her side’s Best & Fairest three points, Watson (2) and Egan shared one point with Bianka Jacobson.

Watson and Aumua also shared in the referee’s B&F points and Egan was named the Roosterettes’ Players Player.

Other standouts in Saturday’s game included Gerald Mackay heading to the try line to score for the Cobar Roosters in Saturday’s Jezebel Hitchins who was solid in defence and Christie & Hood Castlereagh Rugby League game against Baradine. Mackay was one of Kayla Hasson who had a number of great runs 10 Roosters try scorers in their 70-0 demolition of the Magpies at Tom Knight Oval. in attack.

‘Red letter day’ for the Roosterettes The Cobar Roosters Club had plenty to crow about on Saturday afternoon after a mammoth win in First Grade and another victory in the Ladies League Tag game.

It was almost a triple celebration for the Cobar club who hosted three Baradine sides for Round 11 of the Christie & Hood Castlereagh competition at Tom Knight Memorial Oval, with the Roosters Under 18s playing a comeback thriller to narrowly be beaten 22-20 on the final buzzer.

While the Roosters First Graders were fa-

voured to win their match, it was a ‘red letter day’ for the Roosterettes as the Cobar side has not previously beaten the Baradine girls in Cobar’s four seasons of playing in the Castlereagh competition (apart from one game in the 2018 preseason knockout).

Roosterettes co-coach Jay Egan was thrilled with the team’s upset win over the second placed Baradine outfit on Saturday.

“It’s a real milestone for us to beat the benchmark side,” Egan said at the after game presentations.

He said it was great to see the Roosterettes successfully execute a number of attacking plays they had been working on at training which helped them to record their landmark win on Saturday.

“Moving forward this season, it’s very positive for our girls,” Egan said.

Brianna Watson and Zoë Egan got the Roosterettes off to a flying start in Saturday’s win with a try from the get go.

Watson crossed for Cobar’s first points within the first minute of the match after Egan attacked the line and passed off to Watson who ran into a hole to score.

It wasn’t until midway through the half that Baradine was able to level the score.

They then took back the ascendancy six minutes out from half time with a second try and, their third right on the buzzer, gave them a comfortable 16-4 lead at the break.

At the re-start the Cobar girls once again got off to a great start and recovered the ball from a short kickoff.

The Roosterettes continued to attack and their excellent defence held the Baradine girls in their half for much of the remainder of the game and scoreless for the rest of the match.

Egan and Watson combined again for Cobar’s next points with Egan this time finding the gap to score and Watson’s successful conversion closed the margin to 16-10.

Cobar was virtually gifted their next try when the Baradine girls were penalized for a forward pass after trying to quickly get the ball off their try line.

Brennah Aumua breezed through the stunned Baradine defenders to score and by midway through the second half, Cobar only trailled by two points, 16-14.

Five minutes later Aumua crossed again after she picked up a loose ball and ran 20 metres The Baradine defenders were hard pressed to tag Cobar Roosterettes’ Brennah Aumua untouched to score and put Cobar in front 18-16. on multiple occasions in Saturday’s Castlereagh League Tag game at Tom Knight Continued Page 22.
