Dwarf trees to combat fruit fly

IF you are planning to plant fruit trees this winter, consider dwarf trees as an easier option to protect against fruit fly.

Statewide fruit fly coordinator Cathy Mansfield said dwarf varieties are easier to harvest, easier to cover with insectproof netting and easier to monitor for pests.

“It’s particularly important to control fruit fly and other pests and diseases if you live near commercial production areas,” she said.

“For home gardeners, covering fruit trees with netting is the best way to prevent fruit fly.

“Finding fruit fly on dwarf trees is made easier when you can access fruit below head height and identify the small pin like mark that female Queensland fruit fly make as they lay eggs into the surface.”

Another advantage of dwarf varieties is that a ladder is not required for fruit picking, netting or pruning.

In Victoria alone, there are about 1200 emergency department presentations due to ladder falls at home each year. Dwarf trees provide other benefits for home gardeners such as greater coverage with insecticides and fungicides, and for renters, the ability to move to the next property when planted in a pot.

Standard varieties of fruit trees require careful pruning to manage vigour and direct energy to fruit.

Skillful pruning and thinning is required to ensure gardeners don’t end up with very tall trees and small fruit.

History grants announced

PORT Fairy Ghost Stories Inc. is one of 22 recipients in the latest round of the state government’s Local History Grants

The Port Fairy organisation has been allocated $12,586 for the digitisation of early Port Fairy (Belfast) newspapers.

The state government is preserving the history of Victoria by providing funding for organisations at the heart of local communities to research, record and showcase local history.

Minister for Government Services Gabrielle Williams last week announced that 42 organisations would share in $350,000 of funding from the Local History Grants program, confirming that the program would continue into 2025.

“The projects we are supporting through this grants program will celebrate Victoria’s history and preserve it for future generations,” Minister for Government Services Gabrielle Williams said.

“Community groups across the state do important work showcasing our local history, and we are proud to support them through the Local History Grants program.”

For 22 years the program has ensured the stories and collections of Victoria’s history are not forgotten.

“We are pleased to see $350,000 shared among such worthy projects in 2024,” Public Record Office (Victoria) director and keeper of public records Justine Heazlewood said.

Redevelopment on track

WHILE an increase in construction costs has meant the need to ‘revise’ redevelopment plans for South West Healthcare, CEO Craig Fraser has assured no direct patientfacing areas would be lost as a result.

The $384 million upgrade of the Warrnambool-based hospital remains a “big win” for the residents of the south west and beyond according to Mr Fraser.

“The project is still on track to begin construction in early 2025, with completion by late 2027,” Mr Fraser said.

“Increasing costs has meant we have certainly had to revisit the plans, however, the upgrade is still a really positive thing for us all.”

As part of the revised plans, some services which were originally included as part of the new build will now stay in their current locations within the hospital.

Those areas include the kitchen, environmental services, morgue and storage; bio-med, education, pathology lab and collection centre and the health information services department.

The staff cafeteria and outdoor terrace, along with the rehab gym, will also remain where they are.

“We will now look at ways to improve or upgrade those areas that have been cut from the new build,” Mr Fraser said.

Car parking has long been a ‘hot topic’ of discussion and Mr Fraser confirmed that while the previously proposed 120 underground spaces would no longer be part of the new build, an extra level would be added to the multi-level car park opposite the hospital.

“The current underground car park, which had been earmarked to go in the redevelopment to make way for a new kitchen, will now stay,” he said.

“Those existing 70 parks, combined with the 50 new spaces across the road, means the redevelopment will retain the same number of spaces on site or nearby.

“Maintaining car parking has always been a priority and the extra level across the road at the cancer centre is a good outcome because it’s also directly opposite the emergency department.”

It is also anticipated that a shuttle bus will run to and from the new car parking at the showgrounds, which will be of benefit to staff.

Mr Fraser added that the short stay unit would be demolished which meant the new clinical tower would be moved further west on the site or reconfigured.

“Everything else that was

outlined in the original design has remained the same, which allows us to provide the next level of care and make full use of the funding allocated,” he said.

Included in the new tower will be a 32-bed inpatient unit, full theatre suite, emergency department, medical imaging, day surgery, satellite pharmacy,

paediatrics and dialysis.

Mr Fraser confirmed that the final, details plans for the redevelopment may not be available for a few months.

BEAT THE COLD THIS WINTER

Wood heaters bring warmth and ambience

FOR centuries families have been burning wood to keep warm in winter.

A wood heater, while providing much needed heat, can also add ambience to a room; turning a house into a home.

But while using a wood heater can keep you warm, scientists have shown that smoke from a wood heater also results in unburnt fuel emissions, pollution causing respiratory problems and potentially hundreds of dollars a year wasted.

But you can, however, minimise smoke haze and contribute to significant health benefits for everyone by improving the air quality, reducing the maintenance and running costs of your wood heater, and saving money.

Follow these five steps to help reduce wood smoke:

• Burn only dry, untreated wood.

• Stack wood under cover in a dry, ventilated area.

• Burn the fire brightly.

• Use small logs.

• Have a flame if burning overnight. Wet and green wood does not burn properly and produces a lot of smoke.

Freshly cut wood contains about half its weight in water which means a

‘reasonable’ sized log can hold up to two litres of water.

Energy and money are wasted in boiling the water in each log, the fire won’t get as hot as it should and it will produce excessive smoke.

Using dry wood will save money because you won’t need as much to get the desired heat.

It has been suggested that wood is ready to burn once it has been air-dried for at least eight months.

Store wood undercover in a dry, ventilated area that will allow the wood to continue drying out.

When stacking wood, try to keep it away from house walls as wood can act as a pathway for insects such as ants or termites.

In contrast to large logs, smaller ones burn brightly and don’t crowd the heater. These also make a fire easier to light and help in establishing a vigorous fire quickly after refueling.

This also helps to reduce smoke emissions.

It is preferable to use at least two or three logs in a wood heater instead of one large log.

If the heater is stacked full of small logs there may be rapid combustion if there is not enough oxygen to achieve

complete combustion (which, in turn, increases smoke).

Leave enough space at the top of the wood pile to allow flames to develop.

For slower burning, using two or three larger logs is usually the best option.

A robust fire produces less smoke than a slow or smouldering fire.

Excessive smoke can be the result of poor loading of logs (blocking off combustion air), wet wood, not enough air or not enough kindling.

Run your heater on high burn rate (with the air controls fully open) for five

minutes before and about 15 minutes after adding more logs.

When lighting a cold heater, always use a good amount of dry kindling to quickly establish a good fire.

If burning overnight, keep a flame going.

A smouldering fire can produce excessive smoke and should be avoided.

Run your heater at full burn rate for about 15 minutes before turning it down for the night.

Playground chat sparks fruit tree donation

KINGS College student Alena Topraz is a small child with a huge heart.

Free spirited and full of energy and hope for the future, this gentle-natured, thoughtful youngster spends her time thinking of others – and of how she can help make their lives that little bit happier.

In 2022, as a prep, she chose to cut her hair short and donate her locks to ‘Wigs 4 Kids’, a project of the Kids with Cancer Foundation.

With donations from family and friends, the event also raised about $4,000.

The following year, in year one, Alena donated the contents of her money box to underprivileged school children in Uganda.

“I had been saving up my coins for a family trip overseas but after I heard some of our students talk about their trip to Uganda and how the school kids over there didn’t have a lot of food, water or pencils I wanted to give them my money,” Alena said.

“We’ve got food and water and everything we need so we’re very lucky. I think I donated about $180 which made me happy.”

This year, Alena’s thoughts turned to providing fruit trees for the students

of Kings College, prompted by a conversation she had with a classmate.

“One day one of my friends forgot to bring her lunch and didn’t have any fruit so I asked mum if I could plant the seeds from my apple to grow a tree,” she said.

“But she said that wouldn’t really work, how about we donate some trees to plant at school that way all the kids can have fruit all the time.”

The grounds of Kings College now have a range of bare-rooted fruit trees, which will provide students with apples, oranges, plums, nectarines, peaches, pears, mandarins and apricots.

“It will be fun to watch the trees grow and to see the fruit come out,” Alena said.

“I’m not really sure what I’ll do next year yet; maybe when my hair grows long enough I’ll give it to Wigs 4 Kids again.”

Whatever project Alena decides to take on for 2025, one thing is certain – this youngster will again be thinking of others and how to make the world a better, brighter place.

Upgrade for Wollaston Road

WOLLASTON Road is set for a major upgrade, with two new roundabouts, footpaths, bike lanes and a tree-lined centre median to be built.

The new roundabouts will be at the Sommerville Boulevard and Goodall Street intersections of Wollaston Road.

Work on the first two stages of the project, from Caramut Road to Roaches Road and Sommerville Boulevard to the Merri River School, will begin next month. Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said the road upgrade would completely transform the area.

“This is the largest road project Warrnambool has seen in over a decade,” he said.

“As well as being home to a growing population, Wollaston Road is also an important east-west thoroughfare for Warrnambool, so this upgrade will better reflect the role of this key road.

“This project was identified in the North of the Merri River Structure Plan, so it has been in the works for some time. It is now progressing due to nearby developments reaching a certain size.”

Work on the first two stages is expected to be finished in mid-2025.

“Timing of the remaining sections from Roaches Road to Sommerville Boulevard will be determined by the progress of the remaining housing developments in the area,” Cr Blain said.

“When eventually finished, Wollaston Road between Walls Road and Wiltshire Street will have a centre median as well as bike lanes and footpaths on both sides.

“From Wiltshire Street to Caramut Road there won’t be a centre median, but there will still be bike lanes on both sides of the road and a footpath on the south side.”

He said while it would be exciting to see the project start, there would be disruptions while it is under way.

“Thank you to everyone in advance for their patience and understanding,” Cr Blain said.

Residents with questions are urged to contact Sophie Baulch at sbaulch@ warrnambool.vic.gov.au.

Civic Green set for $100,000 upgrade

THE Civic Green in Warrnambool is set for a $100,000 upgrade thanks to a state government investment.

The money, announced late last week by Member for Western Victoria Jacinta Ermacora, was allocated as part of the state government’s $25 million ‘Council Support Package.’

It is anticipated the $100,000 will be used to “substantially improve” the functionality of the area.

“The project will add water and power services around the perimeter of the green, adding further three phase power and storage within the stage area,” Ms Ermacora said.

“This will make it easier for stall holders and users of the Green to use the space and when the work is complete the Green will look the same but have significantly improved functionality.

“The government is pleased to support Warrnambool City Council’s initiative as a part of the Council Support Package program.”

She said that by funding this initiative, the government was ensuring that regional towns continue to thrive, offering improved amenities and greater opportunities for all.

Over $5.3 million will support projects across the Barwon South West region through the support package.

The package, now fully acquitted, has successfully helped shovel-ready projects get off the ground in our biggest regional cities and surrounding towns.

The package funds projects that are designed to increase tourism, improve local infrastructure, strengthen businesses and empower volunteers –with grants ranging from $20,000 to $5 million depending on size and scope.

Along with the grant for the Civic Green, Moyne Shire Council has been allocated $93,791 to integrate Smart City technology in Port Fairy, Koroit and Mortlake.

The Council Support Package has backed 27 projects across regional Victoria, and complements the Tiny Towns Fund, which is backing projects that really matter to local communities in smaller towns of up to 5,000 people.

The Tiny Towns Fund’s first round projects will be announced in the coming months, with both programs delivered through Regional Development Victoria.

Ram sale cancelled

A DECREASE in entry numbers for the proposed ram sale at this year’s Sheepvention Rural Expo in Hamilton has seen the sale cancelled.

Members of the Sheepvention organising committee decided earlier this week to cancel this year’s ram sale rather than “proceeding with a suboptimal sale.”

The committee described the cancellation as a proactive move aimed at re-evaluating and enhancing the event for future success.

In a statement issued on Monday, the committee said the ram sale had long been a highlight of the annual event for over 40 years, drawing breeders and buyers from across the country.

However, this year’s entries had not reached anticipated levels.

The statement read that the decision was made swiftly to provide vendors, sponsors, potential buyers and Sheepvention patrons with ample notice.

Sheepvention president David Botterill said despite the challenges, 2024 would still bring a fantastic event.

“We are disappointed that a longstanding aspect of Sheepvention has succumbed to the changing nature of ram sales, with the increase of on-property sales and the post Covid rise on online platforms,” Mr Botterill said.

“We are, however, still very excited to showcase the merino breed

through a number of merino stud exhibitors on display and the Merino Sheep Show.

“This year will be another fantastic event, with a jam-packed schedule on the cards.”

The decision presents an opportunity for the committee to gather feedback, explore new ideas, and implement strategies that will enhance interest and participation into the future.

The committee is confident that the cancellation will lead to improved and more exciting event components

that continue to support and engage the agricultural community. Sheepvention Rural Expo will continue to host a number of highly anticipated competitions. This will include the Virbac Hamilton and Western District Sheep Show, CopRice Victorian Farm Dog Championships and the Proway Wool Handling competition. An inventions competition, interactive demonstrations, children’s entertainment and over 500 trade exhibits also form part of the 2024 program.

West supports Biggest Morning Tea

WARRNAMBOOL West Primary School was awash in shades of yellow last week as students took part in Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea.

Last Wednesday’s fundraiser for the Cancer Council was well supported by the school community.

Students enjoyed large iced cupcakes courtesy of Allansford’s The Freckled Duck after hearing an inspirational talk by a staff member who successfully underwent cancer treatment last year.

Staff also donated and enjoyed a shared morning tea and collected donations.

Event organiser Renae Blake said she was extremely grateful for the generosity of families.

“We have all been touched by cancer in some way, and through friends and family it’s important to realise the effect it can have on so many,” Ms Blake said.

“Days like today (Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea) are important for us to support and become aware of. Our donations have gone directly to the Cancer Council to be used for support and research.”

Moyne rates now overdue

MOYNE ratepayers who did not pay their 2023/24 rates by May 31 are being urged to settle their debt or contact Moyne Shire Council to discuss a payment plan.

Moyne Shire acting chief executive officer Jodie McNamara said it was not too late for ratepayers to pay outstanding bills.

She urged anyone experiencing financial difficulties to contact council to avoid debt collection costs.

“Moyne Shire will mail final notices this week to alert ratepayers of their outstanding rates,” Ms McNamara said.

“Unfortunately, non-payment of rates eventually leads to extra burdens on all ratepayers.

“For this reason Moyne Shire will undertake to recover unpaid rates, firstly through issuing a final notice and then if necessary through other debt collection means.”

Ms McNamara said if residents were having difficulties paying rates, it was important they contact council to discuss a suitable payment arrangement.

She urged those ratepayers who might be experiencing difficulty to contact Moyne Shire’s rates unit on 1300 656 564.

Training stream to improve women’s services

A RURAL integrated training program in obstetrics and gynaecology will see better care for women of the south west.

In conjunction with Deakin University’s Western Victorian Regional Training Hub, South West Healthcare has been successful in its application for a training program through Royal Australia and New Zealand College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.

South West Healthcare’s director of obstetrics and gynaecology Dr Rosy Buchanan said the organisation was able to complete its successful application by using the experience of surgeons and physicians “before us.”

“Deakin’s Regional Training Hub provided administration assistance for the application to ensure the inclusion of this additional stream to the regional and rural training programs already on offer,” Dr Buchanan said.

“While we potentially won’t see applicants from the Warrnambool campus’ new Doctor of Medicine’s Rural Training Stream for a few years, we are hopeful current medical students who complete their final two years here apply to specialise through end-to-end rural training and stay regional.”

Published research shows the optimal way to build a rural and regional medical workforce is for future clinicians to transition from secondary schooling through to university and vocational training, all within a rural and regional area.

Mystery bus trip to historical sites

A MYSTERY bus trip has given some of Warrnambool West Primary School’s youngest students a glimpse into the town’s history.

The special trip around Warrnambool’s historical sites of significance proved an informative and enjoyable day for children in foundation through to year three.

The activity was organised as part of the school’s Inquiry Term 2 question, ‘Who and what has shaped Australia’s identity?’

Places visited during the day included landmarks around the area that have

significant meaning and have shown change over the years.

This included the war memorial, Cannon Hill, Wollaston Bridge, Logan’s Beach, Warrnambool cemetery, Granny’s Grave and Customs House.

“The students have been learning about the history of Australia and our local area in class,” F-6 Visual Arts Specialist Renae Blake said.

“They have learnt about the impact on our Indigenous people, the land and physical changes.

“The students wrote their own individual question and investigated it on the excursion and in class.”

Year one student Mason Curtis was thrilled to find his surname on a plaque during the mystery bus trip. 2024E

Turning rubbish into art

A GROUP of young people is rallying the community to collect rubbish from beaches, rivers and parks and turn it into art.

Rubbish Repurposed is a community art exhibition created by the Green Futures Now team – a Warrnambool City Council initiative that helps people aged 12-25 tackle local environmental issues.

Group member Edward Higgins said that the aim of the project was to encourage people to have fun while cleaning up the local environment and raising awareness of pollution.

“We thought that we could have an art competition where people go out and pick up plastic waste and turn it into art,” he said.

“That way, the art will look cool and when people are collecting the rubbish, they’re going to see all of the plastic and the pollution everywhere.

“All of the people who are submitting art, they will see the impacts of pollution… and for those who didn’t enter themselves, the art would be displayed and people could see that.”

Submissions are open until August 11, with South West residents of all ages encouraged to get involved.

Selected artworks will feature in an exhibition at The F Project in September.

The winner will be chosen by the Green Futures Now team with help from artist Carmel Wallace. The winning artwork will be featured on a new educational sign at the breakwater.

Open day at Pallisters Reserve

THE Friends of Pallisters Reserve will hold an open day this Sunday, June 23.

Dr Desley Whisson, a terrestrial wildlife ecologist at Deakin University’s Burwood campus, will be a guest speaker.

Dr Whisson has more than 30 years’ experience in research, extension and teaching.

She specialises in koala, yellow bellied gliders and broad-toothed rat populations. She aims to develop practical solutions to wildlife management problems, conservation of threatened species and the management of overabundant native species and introduced pests.

This Sunday’s open day will be held at the Orford Memorial Hall, with morning tea from 10am and Dr Whisson’s presentation from 10.30am (byo lunch).

After lunch (at about 12.30pm) the group will head to nearby Pallisters Reserve where it will enjoy a walk in the bush with local members.

Pallisters Reserve is a ‘Trust For Nature’ reserve managed by local volunteers. It is a 254-hectare wetland reserve of which about half is native woodlands. It is home to indigenous species of plants and birds, including koalas which are monitored three-monthly.

The reserve is surrounded on three sides by bluegum plantations which are due to be harvested soon.

It is an important sanctuary for biodiversity in the region and brolgas, native orchids and other threatened species are found there.

All participants this Sunday are asked to wear suitable clothing and shoes, and to take along wet weather gear.

MORTLAKE

DETAILED SALEYARD REPORT by MLA’s YARDING 4060 CHANGE 2030 more

With no Mortlake cattle market last week and the prevailing dry conditions being experienced, numbers increased significantly to 2,480 head representing an increase of 1,840 on the market a fortnight ago.

It was a very mixed quality yarding over all categories. The better pens of grown cattle and bullocks carried good weight and there were plenty of manufacturing steers on offer.

The sale comprised 379 grown cattle along with 732 trade weights and 1,342 cows and 27 grown bulls. Most of the regular buyers were present and active along with feeder and restocker interest evident.

The market was strong over most categories for the lead cattle with the best gaining 10c/kg. Manufacturing steers were up to15c/kg dearer with the trade cattle remaining firm. The secondary lesser quality cattle were cheaper. The better covered beef cows remained firm to 10c/kg stronger with the majority of the cow offering including the dairy types softer by 10c/kg. Grown bulls were firm with some heavy weights stronger.

A small number of vealers topped at 354c/kg. Trade steers and heifers sold from 280c to 330c/kg. Grown cattle topped at 345c/kg with manufacturing steers selling up to 285c/kg. Heavy beef cows sold from 210c to 270c/kg with the medium weights between 150c and 190c/kg. Well covered dairy cows were selling generally between 155c and 215c/ kg. Grown bulls reached 258c/kg Market Reporter Chris Agnew.

Glengleeson on the move

GLENGLEESON is on the move on the Orford and District Table Tennis Association ladder.

Glengleeson and Myndarra played the closest match of the round this week, reversing the previous results, which resulted in Glengleeson jumping over Orford on the ladder.

Fifth to seventh ladder positions are closely contested and if Glengleeson win next round they have a chance to jump to fifth.

Results from week nine: Warrnambool Vikings defeated Port Fairy 8.26-3.12.

With five of the rubbers extended, Port Fairy could only win one – that of Fergus Monsborough who defeated Gillies 9-11, 13-11, 11-5 and 11-7.

Fergus lost to Rehan 11-7, 13-11, 11-5, 7-11 and 11-4.

All Warrnambool Vikings players won two rubbers each, while Fergus was Point Fairy’s best, also with two rubbers.

Warrnambool Warriors defeated Orford 9.28-2.7.

Peter Owen won his three rubbers for Warriors while Russell Hussey was Orford’s best with two rubbers in a regulation scoreline.

Glengleeson defeated Myndarra 6.21-5.19

Glengleeson brought a strong team to the table, reversing the result from earlier in the year.

Glengleeson won the first doubles in a fivegame rubber to set up their win, 11-7, 10-12,

11-13, 11-8 and 12-10.

Myndarra’s Aaron Rowbottom won his three rubbers while Ally Rowbottom played in the other two five-game rubbers.

Ally defeated Glengleeson’s Gareth Spring 11-7, 11-8, 4-11, 8-11 and 11-8 meaning both players scored 45 points.

Mark Murray defeated Ally 11-5, 6-11, 11-4, 11-13 and 11-7.

Mark and Andrea Drendel both won two rubbers for Glengleeson.

Tarrone lost to Attunga 3.10-8.24.

David Warhurst was Tarrone’s winner while Val, Kelly and Ian Wortley won two rubbers each and teamed to win the doubles.

Week 10 will see Orford take on Warrnambool Vikings in a match that is expected to see the Vikings extend their percentage.

Myndarra’s Aaron Rowbottom will have a good battle with Peter Owen and Darren Smith of Warrnambool Warriors but in the long run Warriors are expected to take home the points.

Tarrone hasn’t won a match this year and it’s anticipated that won’t change when they meet Glengleeson – who will keep their record intact with another win.

Port Fairy will bring three players to its match against Attunga and it’s expected the result will be closer than the 8-3 earlier in the year –but still an anticipated Attunga win.

The un-official ladder: Warrnambool Vikings 36 points, Warrnambool Warriors 32, Attunga 20, Port Fairy 16, Myndarra 16, Glengleeson 12, Orford 12, Tarrone 0.

Convincing win for Rangers

WARRNAMBOOL Rangers have fought hard against rivals Hamilton Raiders to come home with a division two win.

The Rangers faced the Raiders at Jones Oval last weekend. The Josh Cox-led side earned a hard fought 4-2 victory, with both goal keepers impressing with numerous great saves.

Despite conceding a late penalty, the Rangers held out for another convincing win.

The senior women’s side travelled to Scotts Creek to take on the Corangamite Lions – who breached the Rangers defence twice to earn a 2-0 victory.

Jones Oval also hosted the 14s Rangers Teal side who denied the Portland Panthers any goal-scoring opportunities and created many of their own, winning 13-nil.

The midfield pairing of brothers Oisin and Taidgh Loughran domined the ground all game.

The 14s Rangers Blue side also had two brothers starring

in their 8-0 victory, with Noah and Dominic Anderson both impressive with their skills on the ball.

Rangers 12 Blue travelled the long road to Horsham and back without getting any away points, going down 3-1.

Rangers 12 Teal had the early kick-off at Jones Oval against the Port Fairy Plovers and thanks to some late goals, the side won 4-2.

Declan Membrey and Indi Griffin were best for the Rangers in a great team effort.

WARRNAMBOOL and South Warrnambool football clubs are well represented in the Hampden League’s under 19 female interleague initial training squad.

The league has announced its squad of 34 players, which will be cut back to the final playing side prior to the July 6 clash against Ballarat Football Netball League.

The interleague game will be played at Warrnambool’s Reid Oval as a curtain raiser to the under 23 Clinton Baulch Cup.

The coaching staff of Chris Meade, Pat Sherlock, Emily Huglin and Ryan Jones have selected the training squad.

The squad encompasses a combination of Hampden League players and players from the Western Victoria Female Football League.

The 2024 Hampden League training squad comprises the following players: Warrnambool – Alysha Ralston, Lily Jenkins and Ava Moore.

HAMPDEN League has broken a 21-year drought to be crowned state netball champions.

The team, coached by South Warrnambool’s Will Jamison, took out the state championship in Parkville last Sunday, defeating Goulburn Valley Netball League 17-10.

Hampden’s 17 and under and 15 and under sides both finished semifinalists, while the 13 and unders also performed remarkably well throughout the tournament and was defeated by Ballarat FNL 9-8 in the consolidation final.

Association Championships is an integral part of Netball Victoria’s talent pathway for players, coaches and officials, culminating in a finals day at the

State Netball Centre. With talent identification opportunities at each stage of the competition, associations from across the state first competed within their own region before the two qualifying teams in each championship division progressed to the finals. Across Victoria, more than 350 teams and more than 3600 players competed in the event across male, 13 and under, 15 and under, 17 and under, Open and All Abilities divisions.

In an exciting reflection of the health of the talent pathway across the state, all eight teams in the grand finals were from different associations and leagues. The depth of talent, particularly in regional Victoria, was also on display as 10 regional and six metro affiliates represented the 16 teams in finals.

HAMPDEN FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE ROOSTERS V BLUES V Roosters dominate

Teams perform well in Mildura

SOUTH West Victorian Football Association (SWVFA) has sent its largest contingent ever to this year’s Country Championships.

More than 90 players from the association competed in the tournament, held in Mildura over the King’s Birthday long weekend.

Playing across seven divisions, the players performed remarkably well against strong opposition.

The players were selected from all eight clubs within the SWVFA including the Warrnambool Wolves and Rangers, Hamilton Raiders, Stawell Pioneers, Corangamite Lions, Port Fairy Plovers, Horsham Falcons and Portland Panthers.

SWVFA entered its first ever under 11 boys’ team (coached by B. Hawkins with A. Francis as assistant coach).

The side scored three goals for the tournament courtesy of dynamic midfielder Braxton Young.

Strong defensive pressure from the team saw it finish with a draw against Geelong Regional Football Club and sixth in its category ahead of Albury Wodonga’s development squad and Ballarat District Soccer Association.

The under 12 boys’ side (coached by J. Anderson with R. Levett as assistant) displayed some strong offence in its first two matches which resulted in 13 goals.

They then lost 0-1 and drew against Latrobe Valley and Albury Wodonga (the two sides that finished ahead of them) and drew the final match against Ballarat to finish third overall across the two divisions.

South West’s under 14 boys’ team (coached by E. Macchia with N. Albien as assistant) also came away with third place in its division.

The team drew 1-1 against the overall tournament winners, Sunraysia, and narrowly missed a grand final berth by one goal.

The under 16 boys (coached by R. Perry) had a tough tournament, plagued with multiple broken bones both just before and during the

tournament, however they persevered and performed well.

South West also fielded a girls’ team, coached by T. Spencer (assistant coach N. Amartey) who battled away in the under 16 division.

The team played with eight girls aged from 11-13 years and showed great improvement from game to game.

The association looks forward to watching them compete at the Western United Cup in Ballarat where they will

play in their correct under 13 division. The under 18s side (coached by C. Pyke with P. Lim as assistant) missed out on third place by just one goal, performing cohesively despite five last minute changes to their roster.
