Website a handy link for migrants
FOUR years ago automotive mechanic Shehroz Fayyaz started his new life in Warrnambool.
Originally from Karachi in Pakistan, he had most recently worked in Dubai before moving to Warrnambool through the Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA).
The agreement helps regional employers address critical workforce shortages by providing access to skilled overseas workers in occupations that cannot be filled locally.
With support from his employer, Norton Motor Group, Mr Fayyaz settled into his new workplace and completed further training, progressing from vehicle servicing to general repairs.
After spending his first year in Warrnambool alone, he was joined by his wife and now seven year-old daughter.
Mr Fayyaz said his family was enjoying life in Warrnambool.
“We just like roaming around. My daughter really likes walking in the city centre,” he said.
“It’s a good city, the coastal areas, I like it very much. Australians have been really welcoming, especially my neighbours.”
To help make the settlement process easier for new migrants, the Great South Coast councils have launched a new online settlement guide.
Developed by the Warrnambool City, Moyne, Corangamite, Colac-Otway, Glenelg and Southern Grampians councils, the website brings together trusted information in one place.
This covers housing, healthcare, education, employment, transport, community groups, emergency services, recreation and everyday life.
Norton Motor Group service manager James Norton said the DAMA had proved successful for the business, and this new website would help his new employees feel more comfortable and connected in the region.
“The DAMA has been really successful for us. We would have had 10 to 12 over the years and eight of them are still with us, which is really good,” he said.
“You spend a lot of time with them, which is a good thing, but having this new resource is going to be great for us so that they can land on their feet and get settled as quickly as possible.
“When they get settled quickly, they’re going to be better at work and also more likely to stay for a long period of time, and that’s what we want.”
Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said the initiative recognised that attracting skilled workers to regional Victoria was only part of the solution.
“We were the first region in Victoria to establish a DAMA in partnership with the federal government, and since 2019 we’ve seen skilled workers move to the region to fill critical shortages in key areas,” Cr Blain said.
“If new arrivals can settle in and feel part of the community, then they’re more likely to stay for the long term.
“The website has been set up with migrants in mind, but realistically it’s a handy resource for anyone moving to the region looking to connect with services and groups.”
The Great South Coast settlement guide is available at www.gscsettlement.com.au.

Dedicated menopause clinic now open
WOMEN across the southwest can now access free, specialist menopause care close to home.
South West Healthcare has this week opened a dedicated (public) menopause clinic at the Warrnambool Base Hospital, giving women across the district free access to specialist menopause care locally – with the clinic now accepting GP referrals.
Funded through the state government’s women’s health clinics program, the menopause clinic brings a multidisciplinary team together under the one roof.
This includes gynaecologist and clinical director Dr Rosy Buchanan, and midwife and nurse specialist Sarah Pohlner. They will be supported by a physiotherapist, a social worker, and South West Healthcare’s dietitians and continence nurse.
Appointments will be free of charge, with the clinic located on level four (women’s health service) of the hospital.
The menopause clinic will offer women consultation to understand menopause and peri-menopause, along with menopause hormone therapy (MHT) advice and alternative options, prescription and management.
Referrals will also be available to other services and allied health clinics to assist with symptoms of peri-menopause/ menopause including mental and sexual health, and pelvic pain.
Referrals can also be made to assist with sleep, diet and overall health.
The menopause clinic is the latest clinic designed to support the health and wellbeing of women at South West Healthcare alongside pelvic pain physiotherapy (also open to trans patients), the sexual and reproductive health hub (open to all genders) and public fertility care in partnership with The Women’s Hospital.
The clinic will also work alongside the Birth Reflections Clinic, providing support and closure to families (including fathers) who experienced traumatic or an unexpected birth.
Antenatal wellbeing appointments can also be scheduled with a social worker or perinatal psychiatrist.
Menopause can affect a women’s physical, mental and emotional health – and every woman will experience this differently.
“Menopause and perimenopause can have a profound impact on a woman’s life from increasing the likelihood of chronic disease and osteoporosis, to having significant
mental health impacts, sleep disturbances and weight gain to name a few,” Dr Rosy Buchanan said.
“For many women menopause can be managed with their GP, but for those who need specialised care, or for those who don’t have access to a GP trained to manage menopause, our clinic is here to assist.”
Chief executive of South West Healthcare Craig Fraser said the service was proud to offer a clinic dedicated to menopause care for women in the region.
“Thanks to funding from the state government’s women’s clinics, we’ve been able to recruit some amazing staff to this team to ensure local women have equal access to specialist menopause care as those in metro areas,” Mr Fraser said. Women who are unable to see a GP to obtain a referral are encouraged to utilise the free women’s health virtual clinic which is open 9am-5pm weekdays.
To book a free appointment phone 1300 003 224.
Celebrating this week’s opening of the new menopause clinic at South West Healthcare with CEO Craig Fraser are staff members Mia Wolffe, Clare Rea, Sarah Pohlner, Dr Kate Stotskia, Dr Rosy Buchanan and Nicole McCarthy.
Cash boost for festivals and events
THE Koroit Irish Festival and Port Fairy Marathon are just two of more than 20 events that will share in almost $150,000 of funding through Moyne Shire’s 2026/27 Festival and Event Funding Program.
Moyne Shire Council will invest almost $150,000 in 21 festivals and events across the municipality, supporting a calendar of activities that collectively help drive millions of dollars into the local economy.
At a recent council meeting, councillors approved $149,600 through the 2026/27 Festival and Event Funding Program, providing support for a diverse range of community, cultural, sporting and tourism events across the shire.
The funding comes as new economic impact data highlights the significant value of events to Moyne communities.
In 2025, events across the shire generated an estimated $22.1 million in economic output, supported 92 jobs, attracted more than 105,000 attendances across 103 events, and generated an additional 31 cents of economic activity for every dollar spent at events.
Mayor Cr Jordan Lockett said the figures demonstrated that events were much more than entertainment.
“Events play such a vital role in our communities. They bring our people together, attract visitors, support local businesses and create economic opportunities across the shire, but most
“From large-scale festivals that draw thousands of visitors to smaller community celebrations that strengthen local connections, these events help showcase everything that makes Moyne such a great place to live, play and visit.
“It’s not just our opinion either. Port Fairy was ranked by Australian Traveller in May 2026 as the number one town in Australia for festivals and events, and the top town in Victoria to visit.”
Cr Lockett said the strong response to this year’s funding program reflected the passion and commitment of the shire’s community organisations and volunteers.
“We received 21 applications seeking more than $175,000, highlighting both the demand for support and the incredible range of events on offer across Moyne,” he said.
Cr Lockett said council was pleased to support a mix of long-established events and new initiatives.
“Popular events such as the Koroit Irish Festival, Moyneyana Festival, Port Fairy Marathon, Koroit Truck Show, Spring Music Festival and Port Fairy Jazz Festival continue to be important drawcards for our region, delivering significant economic and community benefits.
“It’s also exciting to welcome the Macarthur Pool 60th anniversary celebration as a first-time funding recipient.
“These events are only possible
because of the dedication of volunteers and community groups, and we’re really pleased to support their efforts through this program.”
Funding was awarded following an assessment process against criteria including economic impact, community engagement, need for funds, retention and reinvestment, and the overall quality of applications.
Among those events to receive grants were:
• Moyneyana Festival $15,000.
• Winter Weekends $14,500.
• Koroit Irish Festival $13,000.
• Port Fairy Jazz Festival $11,000.

• Panmure ANZAC Day $1,500.
• Port Fairy Messiah $500.
Tranquility and accessibility for all guests
THE moment you drive into the Logan Beach Apartments entrance and are greeted by two ‘whales’ (Logan and Sandy) you immediately know you are going to experience a relaxing and enjoyable coastaltype holiday.
After the water spray from Logan floats over the car and you hear the animated call from the two whales, your attention is drawn to the magnificent and peacefully appointed and strikingly beautiful gardens and grassy surrounds which has attractions for everyone.
Located just 400 metres from the ocean and the iconic Logans Beach whale-watching platform, this beautiful retreat offers a place to relax, unwind, reconnect and explore.
Owners Paul and Betty Stafford live on site and go to great lengths to ensure every visit is a memorable one, from the moment you arrive.
“We purchased this threeacre property on Logans Beach Road in 1980 and three years later we built a home on it and raised our family,” Betty said.
“Our four children loved it here, as did their grandparents; it was the perfect setting to raise a family.
“Over the years as many
locals would know we had on site a day spa and gymnasium but unfortunately the COVID years resulted in their closure.
“We have since invested heavily in renovations, offering a range of quality selfcontained accommodation options and ensuring we also have suitable facilities for those with additional accessible needs not only for wheelchair users but those with walkers and other medical aides.
“We wanted to make sure our accommodation suits the needs of all our guests, so accessibility was high on the priority list when we began renovations,” Betty said.
Betty was a nurse at the Warrnambool Base Hospital for many years so that’s also an added comfort for guests.
Guests at Logan Beach Apartments are spoilt for choice when it comes to selfcontained, accessible and pet friendly accommodation options.

Ready to roll in China
THE shearing pavilion at the Warrnambool Showgrounds has become somewhat of a second ‘home’ for two of our district’s most talented hockey players on wheels.
Thomas Dark and Tim Edwards, both members of the Warrnambool Roller Hockey Club, are currently competing at the Asia-Oceania Clubs Champions Cup in China.
Speaking with the Warrnambool Weekly late last week (before they flew out on Sunday night) the pair said they were eager to test their skills against players from other countries.
“It’s pretty exciting to be heading overseas to play,” Thomas said.
“It’s my first time overseas. We have a pretty full-on program so I’m not sure how much sight seeing we’ll get to do, there’s quite a lot of game time and training sessions.”
In order to qualify for the Asia-Oceania Cup, the team needed to win the Australian Club Championships.
“Our Warrnambool club didn’t have enough players to compete in the Australian Club Championships in Brisbane last October so Thomas and I joined with players from the Mordialloc club to make a team,” Tim said.
“We won that tournament which qualified us for the next level in China. The winner of that will head to the World Club Championships.”
Roller hockey, while classified as a non-contact sport, can be quite physical and Thomas and Tim train regularly to keep themselves fit.
“Teams have four floor players out there at any one time plus a goal keeper,” they explained.
“We wear quad skates and yes, the ball is quite hard and can hurt if you get hit, but it’s all part of the challenge of the game.
“We were both raised around the sport, with family members involved when we were kids, so it was a natural progression really.
“We love it and it’s great to be able to play our sport at quite a high level.”
Thomas and Tim will fly home this weekend.
And for Tim the international experience will continue in October when he represents Australia at the World Skate Games in Asuncion, Paraguay from October 10-18.
“I went to a training camp in
competing at the Asia-Oceania Clubs Champions Cup in China.
Melbourne in January with absolutely no expectations whatsoever,” he said.
“When I was told I’d made the Australian team I was pretty surprised to be honest but it will be an amazing experience.”
Tim will be one of more than 10,000 athletes at the games, representing over 100 countries in 12 sports.
In the intercontinental group draw (group B), Australia’s men’s team will take on Colombia, Brazil, Egypt and South Africa.
Group A includes Switzerland, Austria, the United States, India and Mexico.

Input sought from businesses
BUSINESSES big and small are encouraged to take part in the 2026 Warrnambool Business Survey.
Business owners, operators and homebased businesses can share insights about their business to help provide a snapshot of the local economy.
Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said the survey provided valuable insights into Warrnambool’s changing business landscape.
“The survey has been running since 2011 and has provided some very valuable data on our changing economic
climate over that time,” he said.
“This helps us at council determine the type of business support that will have the greatest impact.
“Feedback from the last survey highlighted growing concern about anti-social behaviour, as well as a desire for more regular business training and networking events, and this helped shape our business events calendar.
“We had never hosted de-escalation training before, but it was one of our best-attended workshops of 2025, and that really demonstrated the value of adapting our program for the changing needs of the business community.”
It’s time to complete your Census.
Cr Blain said the results of all previous surveys were publicly available, providing businesses with access to 15 years of local data.
“Having this level of local data available can be really useful for businesses when they’re planning for the future,” he said.
“It also gives individual businesses a broader picture of what’s happening across Warrnambool. When they are facing challenges, they can see whether other local operators are experiencing similar issues and whether their experience may be part of a wider trend.
“The more businesses that complete

the survey, the better the data becomes. We had more than 300 responses to our most recent survey in 2024 and we’d really like to see similarly strong numbers this year.”
To complete the survey simply head to www.yoursaywarrnambool.com.au before August 30.

Moyne advocacy continues
MOYNE Shire Council has vowed to continue its strong advocacy for rural and regional communities.
The council recently endorsed three motions it will put forward for consideration at the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) State Council.
The motions call for increased funding for aquatic infrastructure, the reinstatement of the Country Roads and Bridges Program, and ongoing flexible infrastructure funding for local government.
These priorities reflect some of the most pressing challenges facing Moyne and rural councils across Victoria.
Mayor Cr Jordan Lockett said council was committed to ensuring the needs of local communities were heard at the highest levels.
“Strong advocacy is one of the most important roles of local government, and Moyne will continue to make the case for the investment our communities need,” Cr Lockett said.
“Whether it’s maintaining vital road networks, upgrading community infrastructure or ensuring our aquatic facilities can be replaced and upgraded, regional councils need fair and sustainable funding”
The motions recognise the critical role local infrastructure plays in supporting liveable, connected and resilient communities, while highlighting the increasing financial pressures facing councils.
“These are not just Moyne issues, they are challenges being experienced by councils across rural and regional Victoria,” Cr Lockett said.
“By working together with other council’s through the MAV, we can strengthen our voice and advocate for practical solutions that deliver real benefits for our communities.”
Council will submit the three motions for consideration at the MAV State Council meeting in October 2026.
Fundraiser prepares to take flight
AROUND 150 homing pigeons will take to the sky later this month in the hope of raising $115,000 for vital equipment for South West Healthcare.
‘The Great Australian Pigeon Race’ will take place on Sunday, August 30.
This unique event is being held to celebrate the centenary of the Warrnambool Racing Pigeon Club and to help raise the money needed to purchase a new Prostate Cancer Detector System for the Warrnambool Base Hospital.
According to event coordinator and community partnerships manager at South West Healthcare Suzan Morey, it is hoped the general public and local businesses will get behind the event and sponsor a bird.
“These beautiful birds have small wings but big hearts, and we’re hoping the hearts of those in our community will once again get behind this very worthwhile fundraiser,” Ms Morey said.
“The race is certainly a very unique one. The pigeons will compete in a 320 kilometre flight from Lascelles to Warrnambool via the Little Desert, Grampians National Park and the volcanic plains of western Victoria to Warrnambool.”
According to Ms Morey, there are three ways to be involved.
* individuals can pay $50 to sponsor one of the 150 pigeons in the race;
* businesses can pay $150 for the naming rights to one of the 150 pigeons in the race;
* businesses can pay $200 to both name and sponsor one of the 150 pigeons in the race.
“As well as the prestige and bragging rights that go with being associated with the race winner, there is also $2,000 in cash prizes up for grabs.”
Both the sponsor and the naming rights business of the fastest pigeon will receive $500.
The sponsor and the naming rights business of the second placed pigeon will each receive $250.
The sponsor and naming rights business of the third placed pigeon will receive $150.
And for the sponsor and naming rights business of the 100th placed pigeon, a $100 cash prize will be awarded.
“It’s certainly going to be a lot of fun and will no doubt attract great interest and plenty of laughs, and we’re very grateful to all those who will have pigeons participating,” Ms Morey said.
“It’s great recognition for the racing pigeon club’s centenary and also a wonderful opportunity to raise the funds needed for this important piece of equipment.”

Town signage on council radar
TOWN signage across Moyne Shire has been the focus of a recent council audit.
Moyne Shire Council has completed a comprehensive audit of township entry and locality signage, identifying priority upgrades to improve the presentation, visibility and consistency of signs across the municipality.
The audit assessed 148 signs across the shire, including gateway entry, locality name and feature signs as well as signs hosting local clubs and organisations.
It found 32 locality name signs are missing, damaged or in poor condition and require priority replacement.
Mayor Cr Jordan Lockett said the audit would help council focus investment where it is most needed.
“Township and locality signs are often the first impression people have when they arrive in our communities,” Cr Lockett said.
“This audit provides a clear picture of the condition of our signage network and identifies the locations where replacements should be prioritised.
“Maintaining quality
signage helps strengthen community pride and ensures visitors are welcomed by towns that present well.”
The audit found 64 per cent of signs are in good, very good or excellent condition, while 81 per cent have good, very good or excellent visibility.
As part of the signage program, council has already replaced more than 40 municipal boundary signs and upgraded worn and faded Port Fairy welcome signage.
The project also included a review of council’s signage policy and the development of a framework outlining the process for any future consideration of Traditional Owner naming recognition on signage.
No changes to township names, locality names or existing signage are proposed as part of the audit.
Any future changes would be subject to separate council consideration and community consultation.
Council will now progress replacement of priority locality signs and undertake community and stakeholder engagement to help inform future signage initiatives across the shire.

Floral artists busy at work
THE August meeting of the Warrnambool Floral Art group saw some beautiful arrangements made. The theme of the meeting was bouquets.
The group is currently organising a workshop day, to be held on Saturday, October 3.
According to member Susan Rowbottom, the day will run from 11am3pm at the St Joseph’s Church Hall and will be led by Australian floral art judge
Anne Ashby from South Australia.
“Anne will be on hand to give some valuable tips on how best to present various designs and will talk participants through their designs,” Susan said.

art is welcome to come along and take part or just to watch.”
The next meting of the Warrnambool Floral Art group will be held on Monday, September 7 in the meeting room of Our Lady Help of Christians.
Housing boost for Midfield workers
WORKS are now underway on Midfield Meat International’s new worker accommodation facility.
Located next to the company’s meat processing facility, the project will deliver a 184-bedroom village-style accommodation complex, giving workers access to affordable housing close to work.
According to Member for Western Victoria Jacinta Ermacora, the development will include single and double-bedroom units, along with shared kitchen, dining, laundry and outdoor facilities.
The new accommodation is expected to cater for up to 300 meat processing workers, helping one of the region’s biggest employers attract and retain the workforce it needs to grow.
“We’re investing in the infrastructure regional employers need to keep growing, and that includes affordable places for workers to live,” Ms Ermacora said.
“Backing Midfield means backing local jobs, local families and one of Victoria’s most important regional industries.”
Midfield Meat International employs more than 1,100 people and is one of regional Victoria’s largest private sector employers, processing Australian beef, lamb and veal for domestic and international markets.
The project will help Midfield attract and retain workers by providing more affordable accommodation close to work, supporting local jobs and strengthening Victoria’s food and fibre sector.
Meat is Victoria’s largest food and fibre export, generating $8.2 billion in exports in 2023–24.
“Labor is delivering more worker
accommodation across regional Victoria, including housing for staff at Gippsland food producer Riviera Fresh,” Ms Ermacora said.
“The Victorian Investment Fund is also backing the sector, with recent support for expansions at Tongala Nutrition and Goulburn Valley Creamery.
“These investments are part of more than $50 billion that Labor has invested in regional Victoria over the past decade, creating jobs, backing local businesses and strengthening regional communities.”
Member for Western Victoria Jacinta Ermacora this week announced works are underway on Midfield Meat International’s new worker accommodation facility – backed by the state government’s Regional Worker Accommodation Fund.

Artist brings creativity to Koroit
TALENTED Warrnambool artist Matthew Clarke has added a splash of colour and creative flare to an exterior wall at the Koroit Theatre.
Clarke’s original artwork is now on display as part of Creative Moyne’s new BIG ART.SMALL TOWNS public art program.
The inaugural exhibition features three large-scale works by Clarke, and a new artwork by Mortlake-based Wiradjuri artist Chrystel Galea at the Mortlake Community Hub.
Moyne Shire mayor Cr Jordan Lockett said the program was designed to make art more visible and accessible while supporting regional artists.
“Public art brings creativity into the places where we live, work and visit,” Cr Lockett said.
“This program creates opportunities for artists to showcase their work while giving residents and visitors something new to discover in our towns.
“In the age of AI-generated rubbish art there’s never been a more important time to celebrate the artistic wonder humans create.”
Matthew Clarke’s exhibition includes works inspired by personal experiences and people who have shaped his life.
The current artworks, on free exhibition, will remain on display until October 31, 2026.
The public art program will present four exhibitions each year at both locations, rotating every three months, creating an ongoing showcase of regional creativity across Moyne.
Visitors can learn more about the artists and the works by scanning the QR codes installed at each site or at www.moyne.vic.gov.au/CreativeMoyne

One of three large-scale works across Moyne Shire can now be seen in Koroit.

MORTLAKE
MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 2026
At Mortlake agents yarded 1,070 head a decrease of 200 compared with the previous sale.
Quality was much more mixed reflecting a typical winter yarding with very few good heavy bullocks on offer.
More than half the yarding consisted of cows. The cow offering comprised 27% beef cows with the balance being dairy bred.
Most regular buyers were in attendance and whilst not all were fully active, there was solid feeder competition throughout.
The yarding included 74 bullocks, 324 trade cattle, 616 cows and 56 grown bulls.
Despite the mixed quality the market generally remained firm to dearer particularly for secondary cattle.
Some heifers suitable for feeding eased by 10 to 15c/ kg although results were erratic at times with the majority purchased by feeders.
Heavy beef cows remained firm while some medium and light weight dairy cows were slightly stronger by 5 to 10 c/kg Grown heifers were softer by around 20c while bulls improved by 15 to 20c/kg.
Bullocks sold to a top of 470c with grown steers reaching 500c and crossbred steers making up to 480c/kg. Grown heifers ranged from 440 to 494c/kg while dairy-bred manufacturing steers sold to 432c/kg.
Better quality trade cattle ranged from 500 to 536c/kg with feeders paying up to 525c/kg. Heavy beef cows sold between 395 and 435c while medium weight beef cows made from 360c to 390c/kg.
Better covered dairy cows ranged from 360 to 404c/kg. Grown beef bulls reached 482c dairy bulls sold to 440c with younger bulls making up to 462c/kg.

SALEYARD REPORT
Hamilton Agents yarded 2,400 lambs this week an increase of 400 head on last week while sheep numbers fell by 180 head to 820 head.
The lamb offering was mixed with a very small selection of the better quality drafts most of which were supplementary fed medium-weight lambs.
There were also some heavier trade lambs and a limited number of quality lightweight trade lambs available although quality declined through the sale with a larger proportion of plainer lambs on offer.
Not all regular buyers were present resulting in a restricted buying field while some processors were operating with limited activity.
As a result the market corrected by $20 to $30/head overall with some categories recording even larger falls. Very few lambs attracted feeder interest.
Trade lambs sold to average between 1030c/kg and 1150c/
kg cwt with the market topping at $385head.
Light lambs weighing 12 to 16kg sold from $115 to $199/ head.
Trade lambs weighing 18 to 22kg made $190 to $255 while lambs in the 22 to 26kg category sold from $245 to $288/ head.
Heavy trade lambs ranged from $290 to a top of $385/head. Hoggets sold to $330/head.
In the small sheep offering weaker competition resulted in prices easing by $20 to $30/head.
Medium and light mutton averaged between 800c and 940c/kg cwt.
Crossbred ewes sold to a top of $326 and light Merino wethers reached $181 with Merino ewes selling to $250/ head. Terminal rams topped at $158/head.

WEEK one of finals produced some upset results in the Orford and District Table Tennis competition.
They have pushed the Warrnambool Warriors in past matches, but when it counted St Helens delivered the goods, using their past losses as education.
Both Kelly Wortley and Gus Looney won two rubbers each but were unable to win a doubles or defeat Koroit’s Fergus Monsborough who won his three rubbers.
In the second semi-final, Warrnambool Warriors lost to St Helens 3.14-6.19.
STEVE Newell threw his very first 180 in last week’s Warrnambool darts competition.
There was plenty of excitement when Newell achieved his first 180 at the Cally Hotel.
First 180 for Newell
The win propels last year’s B grade winner into the grand final with a week off, which may or may not be an advantage.
Attunga, who was also expected to win, went out in a night of upsets earlier this week.
Both the A and B grade preliminary finals will be played in the Orford Hall next Wednesday starting at 7.30pm.
Ally Rowbottom (St Helens) defeated Warriors’ David Cranwell and Neil Ford, both who had defeated her earlier in the year.
This helped set up the win, taking pressure off St Helens, winning both the doubles.
Neither were easy wins.
Ally defeated David 11-8, 9-11, 1311, 6-11 and 11-8.
Neil’s rubber was 8-11, 11-6, 11-8, 5-11 and 12-10.
Colin Drewry form the Vikings had a high peg of 116 on the night.
Panmure Bulldogs def Cally Phoenixes 8-7, Terang Tigers def City Slickers 8-7 and Vikings def Panmure Mixed Nuts 9-6. Fill Ins had the bye.
Paul McDonough from the City Slickers also threw a 180 this round, as did Robert Brittain (Vikings) and Brendan Galloway (Panmure Mixed Nuts).
Drake wins A grade
AFTER a good round on the fairways, Murray Drake took out the men’s A grade competition at East Framlingham Golf Club last weekend.
Drake finished on 81-9-72 to take the win, ahead of Anthony Eccles in second on 90-17-73 and Gerard Eccles third 82-7-75. They were followed by Brett Willsher 79-4-75 and Ayden Bosse 87-10-77.
B grade was won by Josh McDonald on 97-24-73 from Bryan Langler 111-35-76, Brett Holmes 103-27-76, Rodney Mapleson 100-22-78 and Glen Tracey 106-26-80.
Nearest the pins: 3rd and 9th Jordan Cashin, 6th Ayden Bosse and 7th John Eccles. The social winner was Glenn Tracey and the monthly medal winner Murray Drake. This Saturday will be stableford. All welcome.
A final is won by the side who wins six rubbers, although this week a couple of teams got a little enthusiastic and played one more.
Presentation night will be held at the Kirkstall Hall from 7pm on Wednesday, September 2 and all present and past members are welcome.
The A grade preliminary final will be played between Koroit and Warrnambool Warriors.
The Warriors have had convincing 7-3 wins against Koroit in both encounters this year.
The Warriors will be out to again play off in the grand final after losing just the one match for the season.
The B grade preliminary final will be between Broadwater and Tower Hill.
Tower Hill has won both matches this season and will go into the match as favourites.
Results from this week:
A grade, first semi-final saw Attunga go down to Koroit 4.13-7.22.
Unfortunately, Attunga played with two players, which meant they gave away three rubbers before starting.
Aaron Rowbottom won his three rubbers, while Peter Owen and Neil Ford won a rubber each for Warriors as well as a double rubber.
In B grade, the first semi-final saw Tower Hill defeated by Orford 3.156.18.
Win the doubles win the match rang true for Orford as they won both the doubles in long five game rubbers, 11-7, 9-11, 7-11, 11-7 and 11-9.
The second double was won 8-10, 10-12, 12-10, 11-8 and 11-9.
The other plus for Orford was Russell Hussey defeating both Darren Smith and Gavin Rowbottom.
In the second B grade semi-final, Broadwater defeated Glengleeson 7.21-1.7.
Again, winning the doubles contributed to this win although the second doubles was hard fought. Broadwater won 12-10, 14-12 and 11-9.
Both Andrea and Peter Drendel won two rubbers each for Broadwater. Gareth Spring was Glengleeson’s winner.

The Blues are currently holding on to fifth spot with just three home and away rounds remaining for season 2026. Playing at the Cobden Recreation Reserve last Saturday, the visitors went out hard in the opening quarter, kicking four majors to two before extending their lead to 15 points by the main break.
The third quarter saw the Blues add three goals five to the board while containing the Bombers to 1.4 for the term.
And in the final term, the Blues came home strong, kicking a creditable five goals four while the Bombers were restricted to 2.3.
Best for the Blues in a solid team effort were Amon Radley, Jordan Walters, Reggie Mast, Taylem Wason, Harry Ryan and Riley Holloway.
