Grand position won LAST week Foster Fishy’s battled it out with Mardan Purple for a position in the grand final. Firstly we all braved it and headed out into a very wintery, wet night hoping for a safe return home. It was great to see an excellent turnout of spectators who also braved the conditions.
The game began with a steady start for both teams before Mardan Purple slipped slightly ahead. Foster Fishy’s fought back and levelled the scores halfway, then jumped the lead with a five end winning streak. Mardan Purple stood its ground and finished the game with a five end winning streak
to take out the victory. Well done to all for a hard fought battle by both teams. Mardan Purple will now meet up with Korumburra Blue next week in the grand final. SGIBBA will be in for another great, not to be missed game.

Solar savings to boost clubs VENUS Bay and Waratah Beach Surf Life Saving Clubs will have solar panels fitted to their roofs enabling them to generate their own power thanks to State Government grants. The Nationals Member for Gippsland South Danny O’Brien said the clubs were among 42 lifesaving clubs across Victoria that would have five kilowatt solar systems fitted to their roofs. “Energy bills represent a large cost burden for many clubs across Gippsland and this initiative is helping clubs to drive down their power bills while working towards being more energy efficient for the good of the environment,” Mr O’Brien said. “The money that these local clubs save on their power bills can now be used to purchase equipment that saves lives or fund better training for volunteers. The funding for the systems was being delivered through the Community Renewable Solar Grants Initiative, which aims to increase the number of renewable energy projects delivered in communities.
Leading the way: there is a lot happening on the coast and it’s not just solar panels on the roof of the Waratah Beach Surf Life Saving Club. Club captain, Jameson Trainor left for Sri Lanka on Monday, June 20 to pass on knowledge to Sri Lankan lifeguards and to help in developing safety around the water for the country.
A well chosen artist
RONALD Edwards who designed the NAIDOC Indigenous Round uniforms worn by Mirboo North’s A Grade netballers and the Senior footballers on Saturday is not only a talented artist.
Fish Creek WEEK 30 and 34 on July 28 and August 25 respectively, winter triples will be played. On Friday, August 5, week 31 starting at 6pm there will be a casserole tea evening.
Inverloch WEDNESDAY’S mixed social bowls at Inverloch saw a hardy band of rugged-up bowls tragics roll up for their mid-week dose of bowling therapy, spread over two 12 end games in teams of three and four. Only one team won both games. Runaway winners with 37 points were Mick Yates’ team Rob Howard, Laurel Lee and Klaus Salger. The mysterious Hans Salger, who appeared in last week’s newspaper photo was, in fact, our friend Klaus, re-named Hans by an over refreshed correspondent who apologises for the error. Runners-up with 22 points were Linda Gallyot (s), Bruce Corrigan, Brian Growse and Allan Johnstone. The mixed social bowlers returned to the greens on Sunday to play two games of three bowl triples. Winners with 36 points were Robyn Dennis (s), George Scott and Marg Griffin. Runners-up, with 35 points were Joy Brown (s), Huie Nation and Joyce Arnold. Some minor disruption to activities at the Inverloch club rooms is likely for a few weeks whilst building work is under way to re-locate the bar, install a new entrance and extend the usable area. The Friday night meal scheduled for July 15 is not

affected at this stage and early booking is recommended to secure a place.
Mardan AS the nights become more wintry, it’s good to see the backbone of the Mardan club turn out and keep the game alive. We had a smaller number than last week but all the same it was still a great night and the games played were tightly contested. There were teams of two by three and two by two so the number of bowls was reduced to six per game of 10 ends. This week the skips were made up by players who would normally play as a lead or second and I have to say they did a very good job. The outcome on the night was that all teams managed a win and the final result was decided on ends won, which in itself was very close across the board. There were only three ends between first and last and the final results were as follows: Winners with one win and 11 ends were Vito Serafino, Jeanette Grady and John Chadwick (s). Runners-up one win and 10 ends were Tony AllenClay and John McColl (s). Thanks to everyone who turned out and made the night a great night. The club’s team that made it into the preliminary final of the Pennant competition took line honours by winning a very closely contested game against Foster/Fishy. The team has won its way into the grand final on Tuesday, July 12 against Korumburra Blue. The club wishes the team well and looks forward to the possibility of it bringing home the trophy once again to Mardan Hall.
