New music for orchestra
MUSIC lovers are in for a treat when the Warrnambool Symphony Orchestra plays at the Lighthouse Theatre next month.
The orchestra will play some new music at its August 3 concert (which will start at 2pm).
Eight composers with a connection to the Warrnambool area have each created a short piece to be played by the orchestra.
Some of the composers are experienced while there are other musicians who have never written music for an orchestra before.
Melbourne-based musician David Cundy, himself an acclaimed organist, harpist and composer, will be on hand to offer some expert comments to each composer.
“While the Lighthouse Studio has excellent acoustics and raked seating, we will have expert assistance from One Day Studios to help ensure that patrons with hearing impairment will hear everything in fine detail,” orchestra president John MacInnes said.
“We are also grateful for the support of Creative Victoria for this exciting venture,” he added.
Tickets are available from the Lighthouse Theatre box office or online at www.lighthousetheatre.com.au

Experts sought for drought services
AGRICULTURE
Victoria is continuing to back farmers and regional communities through the drought, with more one-on-one support services and practical workshops.
Acting executive director agriculture sector development and services Kate Linden said agriculture organisations, service providers and consultants were encouraged to apply their expertise to help support farmers across the state.
“Agriculture Victoria is seeking quotes from service providers with specialist farm management technical expertise to work with us in delivering one-on-one consultations and group-based events,” Ms Linden said.
“Every farm is different, so it’s critical that we have a range of service providers to deliver the professional business and technical advice our farmers need right now.
“Technical specialists such as agronomists, livestock nutritionists, veterinarians, pasture and grazing specialists, and farm business advisors are encouraged to submit a quote to deliver practical advice on subjects such as feed budgeting, farm business and financial management and managing farm water shortages.
“We are looking for specialists to deliver our one-on-one service, which offers farmers the opportunity to sit down oneon-one with a consultant to discuss the best way forward for their business in the current season.”
According to Ms Linden, the one-on-one advisory service has been well received in south west Victoria, with 140 farmers taking up the opportunity since last October.
“It’s been pleasing to hear that 90
per cent of participants have already implemented the action plan created with their consultant.
“We are also seeking partners to deliver farm group events in local farming districts across the state, to discuss topical drought management issues and opportunities, and connect with like-minded farmers.”
Ms Linden said that having access to specialists and sharing challenges
and approaches with other farmers at a workshop, field day or farm walk has been incredibly valuable.
“Between September 2024 and June 2025, a series of 45 workshops were held across the south west, attended by 955 farmers,” she said.
“The events provided practical, sciencebased support to manage feed and water supply, animal nutrition, and pasture planning.”
Request for quotes are invited up until Thursday, July 31.

Council welcomes drought relief package
MOYNE Shire Council has welcomed the latest drought relief package, released by the state government on July 4.
The Primary Producer Supports Payments will help put more cash back in the hands of farmers to the value of 40 per cent of property rates.
Other measures in the package were also welcomed, including funding for mental health services, fee and duty relief, timely farm debt mediation and further technical decision-making support.
Mayor Cr Karen Foster acknowledged the financial support available to farmers and rural communities.
Cr Foster said the support had been informed by the state government’s Drought Response Taskforce and the significant advocacy effort undertaken by Moyne and neighbouring shire councils as well as bodies such as the Municipal Association of Victoria, Rural Councils Victoria and the South West Victoria Alliance.
“It’s reassuring to see the government recognising what our communities need and we appreciate the latest round of funding support,” Cr Foster said
“The state government has clearly heard the message.
“However, it’s important that we all keep in mind that the effects of the record dry conditions will continue to be felt for years to come – our farming communities have a long way to go yet and Moyne Shire will continue to press for further support to manage the severe impacts of the drought.”

Strong performance on tracks
V/LINE has continued its strong performance run throughout the first half of 2025.
Throughout June a reliability result of 99.3 per cent was recorded on the Warrnambool line, exceeding the 96 per cent monthly reliability target for percentage of services to run.
The result marks eight consecutive months the line has exceeded the reliability target.
The punctuality target was also reached for the month, with 94.6 per cent of services arriving at their destination on time – exceeding the 92 per cent monthly punctuality target.
The result marks the fourth consecutive month, and fifth time in 2025, the Warrnambool line has reached both the punctuality and reliability monthly targets.
V/Line has reached almost all of its performance targets in both punctuality
and reliability over the first six months of the year, with the lone exception being an 89.8 per cent punctuality result in February.
A V/Line spokesperson said performance on the line had been consistent since the long-awaited arrival of the modern VLocity trains.
“Since the introduction of VLocity trains in November last year, the Warrnambool line has met the reliability target every month and also delivered strong punctuality results,” the spokesperson said.
“June was the fourth consecutive month where the line exceeded both reliability and punctuality targets, making it one of the top performing lines on our network.”
Throughout June there were more than 46,600 passenger trips taken on Warrnambool line trains.
This brings the first six months of 2025 to just under 278,000 trips by passengers on that line.
Milestone for Hospice in the Home
VOLUNTEERS and supporters of the Warrnamboolbased Hospice in the Home program will next month celebrate 10 years.
On July 13, 2015 a ground-breaking idea was put into action when the first in-home support session was provided to a local family through Hospice in the Home.
Since then the organisation’s compassionate and dedicated volunteers have provided more than 16,000 hours of practical and emotional support to 277 local people at the end of life, and those caring for them at home.
Volunteers with the organisation recently made and decorated paper figurines as a tribute to the people whose lives they touched in a simple, but impactful way.
Each figure represents a person who has benefitted from the care and compassion that Hospice in the Home provides – and a circle of family and friends who were supported in fulfilling a loved ones wishes to remain at home.
The group is proud to have achieved the vision of Deidre Bidmade and Dr Eric Fairbank, and is grateful to everyone who has contributed to the compassionate community that makes Hospice in the Home possible.
In August the group will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Hospice in the Home and the 15th anniversary of the incorporation Warrnambool and District Community Hospice with a gathering of people who have been involved.
If you are a past volunteer, committee member, employee or someone involved in the start up of Hospice, email info@ wdchospice.org.au or phone 5563 3220 to be added to the invitation list.
Volunteers with the highly successful Hospice in the Home program lovingly made and decorated these figures which represent a percentage of the people supported by the service over the last 10 years.
SAYING goodbye to a loved one
can be a difficult and emotional time but at Natural Grace the team go to great lengths to ensure you feel supported.
With gentle and kind care, and plenty of time, you will be able to make informed decisions and authentic choices.
Making sure that the wishes of the deceased are met, and that their final goodbye is one of respect and dignity, is high on the priority list for the Natural Grace team.
Karen and Fiona believe in offering natural, holistic funeral care and encourage families to take a gentle approach during what can be a highly emotional time.
The time immediately following the death of a loved one can bring with it sorrow, loss, grief and often an overwhelming sense of ‘what now?’
“We encourage people to go gently,” Fiona said.
“Families can slow down, take their time and breathe. Nothing needs to be rushed.
“We are here to guide and to assist in whatever form that may take. We encourage family-led funerals but can also step in at any stage to support and lead if that’s what is wanted and needed.”
At Natural Grace team members are passionately committed to supporting families, offering natural and respectful care
for the person who has died and gentle guidance for the living.
In death as in life, there is an opportunity to express ourselves authentically.
“For some of us, the comfort of conventional funeral care helps us come to terms with our loss,” Karen said.
“For others it’s important to be personally and intimately involved in the care of the person we have loved and accordingly, we are looking for more choice and empowerment in death and funeral care.
“We are honoured to support families in whatever form of care they choose to honour the person who has died.”
The beautiful community room at Natural Grace’s Warrnambool Sanctuary can accommodate up to 80 people.
Alternatively, families may choose to hold a service or tribute in another location that has meaning and meets their needs.
This can be a chapel within a cemetery, a local venue, community hall, local church, graveside or even your own garden.
The options are extensive and personal.
The Sanctuary at Natural Grace enables team members to naturally and gently care for your loved one.
Those who would like to participate in the preparation of the body are welcome to do so and are also welcome to visit and spend quiet time with their loved one.
“The journey to saying goodbye is very much a personal one which is why we lead from behind,” Fiona said.
“We want families to feel they are in control of this process, and we take pride in spending time with families to ensure their needs and wishes are met.”
As experienced end-of-life doulas, both Karen and Fiona are well trained to provide support for those wishing to die at home.
“Some people wish to die at home and
A respectful farewell
we are there to support them and their families through that process and to provide assistance with after-death care.
“Our service is all about respect and honour, both to the deceased and their loved ones.”

Financial boost for bereavement service
The APCO Foundation has donated $5,000 to The Crystal Lee Foundation to support its free bereavement counselling service across south west Victoria.
The presentation recently took place at APCO Warrnambool, where Ross Humpheries (APCO service stations regional business manager) and Fiona Rowan (APCO Foundation board member) presented the donation to executive officer of The Crystal Lee Foundation, Julienne Clifford.
The $5,000 donation will cover the annual travel costs for the foundation’s part-time counsellor, who travels throughout south west Victoria providing free bereavement counselling sessions (without any limit on the number of face-to-face sessions).
“This service fills an important gap in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of people in a regional area which is doing it tough right now,” Ms Clifford said.
“Two thirds of our bereavement counselling clients are women, and we’re keen to reach more men through partnerships with Men’s Sheds and service organisations throughout the region.”
The Crystal Lee Foundation operates a unique self-referral bereavement counselling service available to all ages and circumstances, with no government funding.
The service is supported through its boutique op shop in Koroit, community donations, and fundraising activities.
Fiona Rowan said the donation aligns with the APCO Foundation’s commitment to supporting mental health initiatives in regional communities.
“We recognise the vital role this service plays in supporting people during their most difficult times, and we’re proud to support the amazing work of the Crystal Lee Foundation,” she said.
The Crystal Lee Foundation was established in 2019 to honour Crystal Lee Johnson, who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at age 16 and passed away in January 2019.
The foundation supports young people from birth to 24 facing cancer diagnoses and their families, while also providing bereavement counselling for the broader community.
The APCO Foundation’s annual Giving Day is happening on July 29.
Throughout the day, APCO service stations will donate two cents from every litre of fuel, 44 cents from each coffee sold, and all profits from APCO Foundation lollies sold.
Even better - every donation made on Giving Day gets doubled thanks to amazing matching partners.
Julienne Clifford, executive officer of the Crystal Lee Foundation (centre) was thrilled to receive a generous donation from the APCO Foundation. Pictured are APCO service stations regional business manager Ross Humpheries and APCO Foundation board member, Fiona Rowan.
Need for Feed convoy arrives
FARMERS across the western district were excited to see the arrival of the ‘Need for Feed’ convoy of trucks last weekend.
Thirty-three trucks, bringing close to $500,000 worth of hay, arrived in Camperdown on Saturday night as residents lined the streets to welcome the crucial delivery.
Recent drought conditions, and the lack of available hay in the district, has left many farmers desperate for feed, forced to look interstate for any available (and affordable) hay.
While recent rains has brought some temporary relief across the district, it will be many months before grass of any substance is seen in paddocks.
Last weekend’s 33-strong convoy pulled up at the former Camperdown Saleyards, led by Need for Feed founder Graham Cockerell.
“This convoy is a show of support from us to the community, and the crowds that lined the streets as we made our way through towns was indicative of the support we too received for this effort,” Mr Cockerell said.
“It was pretty emotional.
“There were hundreds of people in Camperdown, but even as far back as Winchelsea there were small groups out.
“Our volunteers wanted to let the community know we all stand with them.”
The hay has since been delivered to several farms across the district, including those in Moyne Shire, reaching dairy, sheep and beef farms of all sizes.
While the hay has brought welcomed relief to the district, Mr Cockerell said the government needed to do more to support farmers in securing hay.
“We have been refused government funding – we have been told there’s none available,” he said.
“We are still waiting for a meeting with the Agriculture Minister; we’ve been trying for six weeks.
“It would be handy if the road train network got opened up
properly instead of just half the state.
“All our hay has come in via the Newell Highway, the Goulburn Valley Highway or the Hume Highway and then onto the Murray Valley Highway.
“What the government and VicRoads has done is fairly useless as far as we’re concerned because you can come from South Australia with hay and you can come from Mildura or Echuca as long as you wind your way through Ballarat.
“I don’t believe those roads are particularly suitable for road trains. They have to go in and out of towns instead of
Wear green for farmers
PEOPLE of all ages are encouraged to wear green next Friday, July 25, to show their support for farmers.
A ‘wear green for farmers day’ has been organised to help raise awareness and funds to support farmers affected by the most devastating drought in many years.
Residents young and old are encouraged to wear something green to school, work, training or out in town and, if possible, donate a gold coin.
Why not gather family, friends, sport and work colleagues and host a greenthemed match or barbecue?
Or, encourage customers, clients and co-workers to support Need for Feed?
All donations are tax deductible and will help fuel trucks and continue hay
deliveries to keep the local farming businesses alive.
Need for Feed is a 100 percent volunteerrun, registered charity delivering hay and support where it’s needed most.
But they need urgent funding to continue their work.
They are working tirelessly to get more hay to locals who need it most, but the scale of need is now bigger than ever.
Only one-third of local farmers who registered were able to receive hay on the latest run and more is needed.
More hay must be purchased. More fuel is needed and more help would be appreciated.
Donations can be made at https://forms. gle/bX9zjzyBj3HLw9X49.
coming straight down the freeway from Sydney.
“What the government’s done there is not even a good band-aid solution.”
Despite the challenges, Mr Cockerell said he hoped to do more to assist drought-affected communities and encouraged residents to put their hands up to help out.
“If people would like to support us, they can visit www. needforfeed.org – they can donate money on there, they can donate fodder if there’s anything hiding in sheds, people can volunteer to join the hay run, and they can apply to fundraise,” he said.

Popular footpath under repair
A SECTION of footpath, linking the Flume car park to the Promenade, is currently being repaired.
It is anticipated around 150 metres of the path, which is a popular access point, will be replaced in two stages.
The first stage was expected to take place yesterday (Thursday) or Wednesday, with the path to be reopened this weekend.
It is anticipated access will be closed again early next week to allow the concrete works to be completed (weather permitting).
It is hoped the entire project will be finished by the end of this month if weather conditions are suited.

Save Triple Zero for emergencies
WITH a recent increase in ‘lights and sirens’ cases, Ambulance Victoria has sent out a plea to residents to save Triple Zero calls for urgent cases.
An extra 100 Code 1 cases have been recorded each day since April, promoting an urgent call to action from Ambulance Victoria (AV) for help to save paramedics and ambulances for the sickest patients.
Driven largely by respiratory illness, the increase in demand for life-saving paramedic care has put significant strain on the system.
AV chief executive officer Jordan Emery pleaded with residents to consider alternative healthcare options for lessurgent medical concerns.
“We all have a role to play in ensuring paramedics are available to respond to the sickest people in our communities,” Mr Emery said.
“We’ve seen a significant increase in Code 1 cases across the state, on average 100 more each day compared to just a few months ago.
“This increase in life-threatening cases means we need to respond lights and sirens to administer life-saving medical care; and we can’t do that if ambulances are being called to less-urgent or avoidable situations.”
AV acting director regional and clinical operations Jessica McGowan urged everyone to ensure they’re protected against season illness.
“Vaccination remains one of the best ways to protect against seasonal illness and if you’re feeling unwell or you have flulike symptoms, stay home to help stop the spread and protect those most at risk.
“Paramedics don’t replace GP care. It is vital that if you’re feeling unwell that you seek medical advice as soon as possible, before your illness escalates.”
Ms McGowan said that advice could come from a local GP or pharmacist, or the online Victorian Virtual Emergency Department which is a free service.
“Calling an ambulance when you don’t need one could delay help for someone whose life depends on it,” Ms McGowan said.
“The message is simple; save paramedics for emergencies.”
There are many ways to get health advice and care outside of Triple Zero including the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department (27/7 free online access to emergency doctors and nurses via www.vved.org. au); urgent care clinics (GP-led care for urgent but non-emergency issues); nurse on call (free advice from a registered nurse 24/7 on 1300 606 024) and a local GP or pharmacist.

New purpose for clear-roofed shelter
TEN years ago Simon Rea became the first Australian farmer to build a clear-roofed, deep-litter dairy shelter - and he’s still finding new ways to use it.
The shelter was designed to help his family’s Panmure farm increase herd size and production without putting too much stress on pastures and infrastructure, especially during the wet south-west Victorian winters.
It has worked beyond expectations, with the herd increasing from 380 to 600 over the decade and Simon becoming a partner in Dairy Shelters Australia.
Now he has found a new purpose for the shelter as the region battles the worst drought in memory.
“This year we’ve been struck with crippling drought conditions in western Victoria but we’ve had somewhere to put our cows while we’re trying to allow every mouthful of grass to grow on the farm,” Simon said.
“At the moment, the last thing you want is a cow on the paddocks. I’ve re-planted and it’s trying to grow but you put cows in and the grass won’t grow and there will be nothing in spring.”
Simon said the shelters and adjoining feed pads had been a cost-saver during the dry autumn, reducing the need to feed in the paddocks.
The dry autumn has been the toughest Simon has experienced in the 15 years he has owned the farm with wife Pep.
Their irrigation water entitlement ran out in January (the first time this has happened) but he has been able to access a regular supply of hay and keep the cows well fed.
“If that wasn’t the case, it would be massively stressful,” he said.
Despite the difficult season, Simon has decided to keep the cows well fed to maintain production with only a small drop in numbers, all geared to a quick rebound when conditions improve.
The shelter has been an important management tool in that process.
“One of the things shelters offer is a certain amount of flexibility in farming systems.”
Simon’s first shelter, built in 2015, covers about 3800sqm.
He added a second 2100sqm shelter in 2023 for young stock but it’s also proving valuable as an overflow shed because of the success of the first structure.
“They’ve really been a game changer for our business,” he said.
“Before this, it was a battle to milk 400 cows if you’d get caught out by a wet winter or dry autumn.
“I’ve learnt to feed the cows well in and around the shelter and it has allowed our farming business to grow to 550 or 600 cows without worrying about the wet winter ahead and how and where to feed the cows.
“It has gone beyond wherever I thought it would go.”
The shelters have been popular with staff and Simon said they have helped his personal outlook.
“It helps me cope with wet, depressing winters.”
Most importantly, the shelters are popular with the cows.
“The cows love it, particularly as the nights get colder,” Simon said.
“They just pack in and the floors and their own body heat keeps them warmer and more comfortable. The typical winter is grass in the day, shelter at night, but when it’s cold and blowy, they’re happy to stay under cover.”
Simon is confident that the herd is healthier with the shelters.
“It’s good on their feet and they’re getting proper rest, rather than sitting on mud,” he said.
“We get a lot less foot issues because the cows are only walking half as far, and it means a lot less track maintenance.”
The cows also seem to carry a bit extra
weight and production has edged up.
Over the past decade, Dairy Shelters Australia has installed more than 50 shelters across Victoria, Tasmania, including three currently under construction, South Australia and southern NSW.
Dairy Shelters Australia was created after Simon and his vet Dr David Colson visited New Zealand to look at options for dairy shelter systems.
“They’re a great insurance policy for your farm,” Simon said “They pass the sleep test. When you’re in bed at night and hear rain on the roof and there’s a wet week forecasted, you know you’ve got an option.
“The shelters give you an ability to push the farm a bit harder but not be too concerned that the wheels are going to fall off and you’ve
got cows walking around in bog holes.”
While the shelters have retained their basic clear-roof, deep-litter base, Dairy Shelters Australia has been looking at variations, including mesh along the west side for protection from the elements and retractable shade covers for calving.
“Not too much has changed but we are trialling a few things, though ventilation, air flow and light are still the keys to success. A solid roof would defeat the purpose.”
The shelters continue to be popular. “We’ve had several farmers who loved it so much in the first year or two that they came back for another span or two and said they should have built it bigger at the start.
“They are easy to extend so we recommend siting them in an open area.”

MORTLAKE
MONDAY, JULY 14, 2025
SALEYARD REPORT by MLA YARDING 1991 CHANGE 139 more
At the Mortlake cattle market yarding numbers increased to 1991 head which is 247 more than the previous sale.
The overall quality of the yarding was quite plain across all categories.
Only a few pens of grain-fed cattle were on offer and there was a significant proportion of crossbred cattle in light condition.
Approximately 75 percent of the cow offering consisted of dairy breeds with most of the beef cows presented in medium to light condition.
Not all of the regular buyers and feeders were in attendance at this sale.
The yarding comprised 164 bullocks, 618 trade weight cattle, 1167 cows and 42 grown bulls.
Despite the lack of quality the market showed notable strength.
Bullocks and trade cattle were 20c/kg stronger and there was solid demand for well-bred lighter feeder steers and heifers which also saw price increases.
Manufacturing steers gained 25 to30c/kg while most beef cows were 20 to 30c/kg stronger with some sales exceeding that range.
Cows returning to the paddock were 30c/kg stronger and dairy cows improved by 25 to 35c/kg Grown bulls also rose by 25c/kg in places.
In terms of prices bullocks sold up to 444c and heavy beef cows made between 350 and 394c while medium and lighter weights ranged from 290 to 350c/kg.
Better-covered dairy cows generally sold from 290 to 360c/kg and cows returning to the paddock reached up to 330c/kg.
Manufacturing steers sold to 360c and crossbred steers reached 376c/ kg. Grown heifers sold between 355 to 420c and grown steers made up to 418c/kg.
The better end of trade cattle realized between 410 and 486c/kg while grown bulls sold up to 396c/kg.

HAMILTON ~ WEDNESDAY, JULY 16, 2025
At the Hamilton saleyards, numbers increased to 8900 head comprising 7000 lambs (up 1000) and 1900 sheep (down 400).
It was a more even yarding of lambs with slightly better quality evident at the top end compared to the previous sale.
Approximately 45% of the lambs were lead drafts which were of ideal trade weights and mostly supplementary fed. However, quality declined quickly beyond these better types and there were very few extra heavy lambs available. Most of the regular buying panel was present though not all were active.
The market remained generally firm and was largely quality driven.
Good trade lambs averaged between 1100 and 1250c/kg cwt with isolated pens selling at higher rates.
Very light lambs were up by $20/head. A standout pen of heavy lambs topped the market at $370/head.
Feeder and restocker competition remained strong
particularly for the better-quality lambs with support from both local and interstate restockers.
In terms of prices by weight category light lambs weighing 12 to 16kg sold from $96 to $199/head. Lambs in the 18 to 22kg range made between $185 and $250/head while those weighing 22 to 26kg sold from $252 to $320/head. Hoggets reached up to $250 per head.
The sheep yarding was very mixed and generally plain consisting of both crossbred and Merino sheep mostly medium to lightweights with a higher proportion of Merinos. Not all buyers were present or active.
The market firmed slightly rising by $10 to $15/head as buyers sought to secure numbers. Mutton prices ranged from 580 to 730c/kg cwt. Heavy crossbred ewes sold to a top of $256 and Merino wethers ranged from $152 to $172 whilst Merino ewes with skin reached up to $208/head. Terminal rams sold to $180 while Merino rams with skin made up to $126/head.

WITH finals nearing, the Orford and District Table Tennis Association ladder is tightening up.
After week 11 (last week) both Warrnambool teams were only separated by a game, fighting for top spots.
In third and fourth, Myndarra leads Koroit by the same margin – with Attunga posing a danger to both teams.
There are now only two more weeks left to play.
Last week’s (round 10) results: Warrnambool Warriors defeated Attunga 8.25-3.14; Glengleeson lost to Warrnambool Vikings 1.4-10.31; Mydarra lost to Warrnambool Warriors 4.15-7.24; Tarrone defeated Orford 7.21-4.17 and Koroit lost to Attunga 4.18-7.22.
In this week’s matches, Myndarra lost to Warrnambool Vikings which has seen them slip from third to fifth, while Attunga has moved into fourth.
The race is on between Attunga, Koroit and Myndarra to see who will make up the four.
Currently, Attunga has the best percentage.
Results from this week:
Warrnambool Vikings defeated Myndarra 6.20-5.18.
Aaron Rowbottom won his three rubbers and joined the younger players in winning the doubles, however the Vikings were too strong.
Chad Ryan (Vikings) defeated Ally Rowbottom 8-11, 10-12, 11-9, 11-5 and 11-5.
Myndarra won the close first doubles 11-2, 13-11, 11-6 and 14-12.
Warrnambool Warriors defeated Tarrone 9.28-2.10.
This win puts the Warriors four rubbers up on the Vikings.
David Warhurst was Tarrone’s rubber winner, while Peter Owen won his three rubbers for the Vikings.
Neil Ford (Vikings) won the longest rubber of the night, defeating Andrea Drendel 11-8, 6-11, 13-15, 11-5 and 11-9.
He and David Cranwell both won two rubbers.
Orford lost to Koroit 5.16-6.22.
Koroit lost both doubles which meant that the winner of the last rubber of the night won.
Koroit’s Tony Storer defeated Peter Anscombe to decide the results.
Fergus Monsborough won his three rubbers for Koroit, while Russell Hussey
was Orford’s best with two rubbers. Attunga defeated Glengleeson 8.253.12.
While some may think this was one sided, the scoresheet gave a different picture.
Though only three rubbers were extended, there was some very long games.
Glengleeson’s Gareth Spring and Lindsay Morton won the first doubles against Gus Looney and Val Wortley 1513, 12-10 and 17-15.
Val then defeated Gareth 14-12, 11-8 and 11-6 while Lindsay defeated Gus 17-15, 8-11, 11-9 and 11-9.

Third title for triples champions
FOR the third consecutive year, Warrnambool’s Anne Draffen (s), Barb Draffen and Jacinta Marney have been crowned indoor bias bowls state triples champions.
The trio defeated Heytesbury’s Pam Wines (s), Lara Mungean and Kathryn Wines in the final, held in Melbourne last Sunday.
Warrnambool’s winter pennant is now nearing the end of the season, with only two games to go before finals.
In division one, George Draffen’s Allansford Cats and Ian Swain’s Allansford Lions have the top two spots secured, while the Allen Armistead-skipped Wannon Park
Dogs are guaranteed a spot in the first semi-final.
Fourth spot is still up for grabs, with the incumbent Koroit Hornets only half a game ahead of Port Fairy Seagulls and Dennington Hi-Fives.
In division two, Grangeburn, Allansford Panthers and Dennington Dashers are all vying for the double chance but are guaranteed to play finals.
Fourth spot is a race between City Slickers, Koroit Jets and Allansford Leopards. Division three sees Koroit Choppers and Dennington Aces secure in the top two spots, but third and fourth spots are still available, with every team still mathematically a chance to play finals.

North Warrnambool Under 18s
Warrnambool Seniors
AROUND THE GROUNDS Finals race heats up
THE race to the finals series is hotting up in the Hampden League senior football competition, with only one game separating second to fifth spot.
North Warrnambool Eagles remains two games clear on top of the leaderboard, with only percentage separating South Warrnambool and Warrnambool in second and third.
Portland and Koroit are currently in fourth and fifth, each only one game behind.
And with six rounds remaining of the home and away season, the top five are yet to settle.
Round 12 last weekend saw the fifthplaced Saints clench a crowd-pleasing 28-point victory over the reigning premiers, the Roosters, at Friendlies.
And in another twist, the Warrnambool Blues handed the Eagles just their second defeat of the season – and by the narrowest of margins (one point).
The Eagles went into the half-time break with a handy 19-point lead, however, a strong third quarter from the Blues saw them pile on 5.4 while restricting the Eagles to 2.2 for the term; giving them a one-point lead going into the final quarter.
An even last term saw the Blues take the win, 10.10.70 to 10.9.69.
Luke Cody led the goal kicking for the victors, booting home six majors for the day.
Round 13 this weekend will see the Blues at home to the Roosters, the Eagles will host Camperdown, Portland will travel to Port Fairy, Hamilton and Cobden will clash at Melville Oval and the Bloods will face Koroit in Mortlake.
League president resigns
AFTER 17 years of dedicated service to the Warrnambool and District Football Netball League, including the past six years as president, Kylie Murphy has announced her decision to step down at the end of the 2025 season.
“It has been a privilege to serve in various roles over the past 17 years, with the last six years as president being particularly rewarding and educational,” Murphy said.
“My departure presents an opportunity for new leadership to guide the league forward in a positive direction for our entire community.”
Throughout her tenure, Murphy has played a pivotal role in strengthening the league’s foundations, fostering collaboration among clubs, and championing the growth of both football and netball across the region.
Her leadership has been marked by a commitment to inclusivity, development, and community spirit.
“I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all committee members I have had the pleasure of working with, our sponsors, each of the club presidents, and especially the current board members,” Murphy added.
“I look forward to seeing you at the remaining rounds and the finals. I wish every club ongoing success, and above all, continuing success for the league as a whole.”
The WDFNL Board will begin the process of appointing a new president in the coming months, with a formal transition planned to ensure continuity and support for the incoming leadership.
“We thank Kylie for her tireless dedication and the legacy she leaves behind,” vicepresident Georgia Harrison said.
“Her leadership has set a strong foundation for the future of our league.”

Congratulations to all players, representing a range of clubs including Casterton, Dartmoor, Portland, Cobden and Mount Gambier, and thanks to the parents and family/friends for their support.
Many thanks also to Portland Golf Club for hosting this round, particularly captain Marg Tober for her efforts which were greatly appreciated.
The next event will be the junior classic on Sunday, September 28 at the Port Fairy Golf Club.
This will be followed by an event at the Warrnambool Golf Club on Monday, September 29.
