Lisa, originally from Papua New Guinea, shared her thoughts on the sport during a recent conversation. When asked about bowls in her homeland, Lisa explained that there are bowls clubs in Papua New Guinea, and one man from Mount Argum even traveled to Brisbane to play. While watching the bowlers in action, Lisa mentioned her desire to try the sport. She noted that many people find their first game of bowls quite addictive, something she has experienced firsthand after participating in the Wednesday night sessions. The friendly atmosphere and welcoming people have made her experience enjoyable. Last week, Lisa was part of the winning team, and the club wishes her a successful year ahead.

A friendly reminder that club competitions are underway, with the open fours semi-finals and the open club pairs competitions approaching. Members are asked to check who they are scheduled to play and arrange their match times accordingly.

Sporting Clubs are the heart and soul of a community, which feels the impact of unwelcoming weather. Home Hill Tennis Association has felt the impact of all kinds of weather conditions and recent flooding again threatened their clubrooms and cancelled matches.

The timing of a recent donation from the Community Bank Home Hill and Ayr could not have come at a better time as the association aims to put a smile on the many volunteers that help their sport recover from these challenges.

The courts are now feeling the feet and activity of players with the clearer weather thanks to the dedication of their members and volunteers that has been part of their proud 93 year history.
Sugar Bowl training continues to be popular amongst players that brings teammates and friends together to enjoy the family atmosphere. Pickleball is exploding as a sport across Australia, and Home Hill is experiencing the benefits of growing numbers.

Club Secretary, Kate Casswell, says the first night back after the recent flooding saw record numbers. “We had eight new players turn up once the flood subsided, with a total of 30 for the seven courts available. It’s unbelievable to see these types of numbers,” says Kate.

The club has also recently launched PickleKids, a fun coaching and play program for kids aged 10 years and older that is held Tuesday nights from 6 to 6:45pm, which also welcomes parents.

The weekly schedule for Home Hill Tennis Association includes Monday night fixtures, Tuesday night pickleball, Friday Social Mornings, Friday afternoon coaching and cardio, and Saturday Morning pickleball.

Kate emphasises that none of these activities are not possible without the support of volunteers.

“They are the cornerstone of our community. The recent grant from the Community Bank allows us to thank the volunteers with club shirts that also recognises the valuable sponsors that support our club,” says Kate.

Senior Branch Manager for Community Bank Home Hill & Ayr, Chantel Michielin, says their board feel very proud to be supporting local clubs that play a vital role in the community, particularly when weather conditions can interfere the social interactions that are important to many.

“Home Hill Tennis Association has had a deep connection with our local community for over 90 years that brings joy and healthy activities to many in the Burdekin Community,” says Chantel.

“For generations, sport has played a pivotal role in our community. A place where friendships are formed, skills are developed, and a love for the game is fostered. A Community Bank understands that connection and will continue to invest part of our profits back into these clubs,” says Chantel.

Friday 7th March

We only had a small number of bowlers due to sickness and unavailable players, however, those who did turn up enjoyed some great bowling with two games of pairs.

Gary Pearce and Dave Sheehan def Ross McLaughlin and Ray Paneccasio. And in the other game, Ben Mills and Jamie Woods were too strong for Margaret McLaughlin and Lyn Storrie.

Saturday 8th March A grade singles
It was great to see some members turn up and support this clash between Gary Pearce and David DeFranciscis, in what was a great game of tight ends and great draw bowling, with Gary coming away with the victory and moving onto the next round.

Sunday 9th March Men’s Fours
David DeFranciscis and his star studded lineup of Ross McLaughlin, Michael Paravacini, and David Harding, played against Peter Henderson, Mick McCloskey, Richi Mau and Joe Yipnazar. In a seesawing game with the lead changing throughout the 21 ends game, at the half way mark of the game it was all square, however, David pulled his team aside and basically told them in no uncertain terms before eventually winning the game after 21 ends.

Sunday 8th March social bowls
We had two games of 4s and with pennants and a range of other event ideal time to practice this type of format. Ken Ferguson, Neville Dickinson, Lyn Storrie and Doug Kiehne, won against David Sheehan, Gary Nosworthy, Helen Collins, and Allan Gairoch.

In the other match Lloyd Shepherd, Doug Robins, Jamie Woods and Kevin Collins, were outclassed in a tight finish against Ben Mills, Vince Beitia, Chris Pearce and Gary Pearce.

Those interested in playing Red Pennants this year Friday 30, Saturday 31 June and July 1, please get your name up on the board as selectors need to start getting teams organised. This year we will be playing games in Townsville.

Friday 14th Trophy Bowls night proudly sponsored by G.K Diesel and if you haven’t got your team in please do so asap through normal channels or check our Facebook site.

An Australian-first initiative to improve fatigue management on farms has heard directly from busy primary producers about how they prioritise rest, safety and productivity.

CQUniversity researchers are compiling the practical advice for farmers, with farmers – with input from across dairy, cotton, eggs and grains sectors.

Now the project is creating useful guides to highlight causes, impacts and management strategies for fatigue on farms – and launching a new survey to grow understanding of farmers’ experiences.

Fatigue on-farm has been identified as an industry-wide priority for the Rural Safety & Health Alliance (RSHA), a collaborative partnership between AgriFutures Australia, Australian Eggs, Australian Wool Innovation, Australian Pork Ltd, Cotton Research and Development Corporation, Dairy Australia and Grains Research and Development Corporation.

In collaboration with the RSHA, the Farming and Fatigue: Growing Sensible Solutions project aims to help industry measure and manage fatigue on-farm.

Amy Cosby is part of the project team from CQUniversity’s Agri-tech Education and Extension team as well as a dairy farmer and busy mum.

She says the research is a first for the Australian agriculture sector, and importantly works with farmers to highlight effective habits for rest and wellbeing.

“What farmers have told us so far is that managing fatigue on farms is about more than hours in bed – it’s impacted by stress, and seasons, and weather, and of course the huge workloads involved with life on the land,” she said.

“But what we’ve also found, and what is certainly my personal experience, is that farmers also consider what they eat, how they exercise, how they schedule employee shifts, and even how they socialise, to try to get better rest, balance their life and avoid fatigue.

“We want producers to have a clear understanding of how their current working patterns can be tweaked to better manage the real risks of fatigue on farms,” Amy said.

This Saturday we held our first competition for the year, with a 3 hole, 6 hole, and a 9 hole competition. We welcomed some new members, Pia, Max and Angus, and along with our regular juniors, we had 16 players take the course.

Max was our 3 hole gross winner with 22 shots, and Opie the 3 hole net winner, with a score of 12.
Evelyn was our 6 hole gross winner with a score of 47 shots, and Tyler was the net winner, with 13 net. Gabby was our 9 hole gross winner with 49 shots, and Angus was the net winner in 20 net.

We also had many of our junior girls wearing their new 2024 junior golf scholarship t-shirts, which they all received last week from Golf Australia. This great program helps encourage girls into golf, and the girls will have their golf fees for the year paid for, and funding to receive specialist coaching once a month here at Ayr golf club. A great, fun day was had by all who attended.

There was no sign of rain when the junior cricketers took to the Nutrien Ag Solutions fields last Friday for their second game this year. The scoring in the Challengers was close with the partnerships of Noah and Nate, and Everly and Anna producing 14 runs apiece. They were closely followed by Nahijah and Lincoln, and Corbett and Claire on 13 each.

The wickets were shared around with Lincoln, Everly, Aria, Harvey and Claire, taking one each, while Noah did one better with two. Aria and Corbett received the MacDonalds Sports Awards.

There were low scores in the 'Blue Group' where Jake top scored with 9 runs followed by Mason and Mazlyn on 6 each. Four runouts in the game may have contributed to the low totals.

The bowlers got into the action as well with Mason and Kai taking two wickets each. Kai's bowling figures were an incredible 2 for 0 runs. Jude, Mazlyn, Jake, Tyler, Billy and Tait, all took one each. Corey and Kai took home the MacDonalds Sports Awards in this game.

The 'Gold Group' produced low scores as well where Alex was the top scorer on 15 runs not out. Tyler was also unbeaten and managed to reach 11 runs. Kyle took 2 for 8 runs and when it was Mark and Marshall's turn to bowl, they took 1 for 5 runs each in their overs. Alex and Kyle earned the MacDonalds Sports Awards for their fine batting and bowling.

Local

The 2025 fixture season kicked off last weekend  when three Burdekin Panthers teams were in action. On Friday night the Ladies were way to Brothers and then on Saturday, the Premiers and Reserves were at home to MA Olympic. It was not the best start to the season with the Ladies losing 1-3 and the Reserves going down 1-4 but the Premiers did well to draw 1-1.

After last week’s Kappa Cup loss to Estates the Ayr Anzac Club Premiers were hoping to get the season off to a good start against last year’s Champion’s MA Olympic. In a torrid game, Olympic scored in the thirty ninth minute to take a 1-0 lead into half time. The second half was as frantic as the first especially after Matthew Kolby scored a very good goal to make it 1-1. The final ten minutes were nail biting as Olympic tried desperately for the winning goal, but the Burdekin defence held firm and goalkeeper Jarrod Camer made some good saves. At the final whistle a well-earned point for the Panthers.

Burdekin Tyre Service Reserves kicked off the season on a hot afternoon with a quality squad confident of a good showing. It was a bright start with good energy and enthusiasm. It took ten minutes before Kyle Taylor intercepted a ball at the back and with some good passing a chance fell to Lachlan Fry, who on debut gave the home side the lead. It only took another six minutes before Olympic were able to equalise and  the match became an arm wrestle back and forth and with the last kick of the half Olympic were able to score their second goal.

Half time was positive with a belief that Burdekin were in the contest and capable of winning. The second half showed the aspects of our play that our training needs to concentrate on for improvement. Despite their efforts, the Reserves were slower to the ball and failed to keep possession to build pressure. Without having enough control of the ball, it was a difficult game, and the weight of possession led to another two goals from the visitors before the game finished. Definitely not a good result and it now shows the Panthers how much they need to improve in order to compete in the season ahead.

This Friday night the Ladies are away to Wulguru and the Division One Men are away to Saints Eagles Souths. Then on Saturday the Panthers have two away games against Rebels.

Training nights for the Men’s teams are Tuesday and Thursday from 6.30 and Monday and Wednesday for the Women from 6.00.

Juniors

It has been a very busy week for the Juniors! Teams have been selected, and Sunday saw a working bee to mark fields and get everything ready. Playing Kits have been collected so all kids have their playing gear.  Thanks so much to everyone that has put in many hours volunteering and helping out to get the season underway!  The draw for week 1 will be out soon.

Coaches, you will be advised of when able to collect team kits and balls during the week. We are still looking for coaches for some age groups, most notably under 5/6’s.
If not arranged during the week, everything will be sorted on Saturday. Can't wait for round 1!

Masters

Monday Night Masters kicked off last Monday at International Park, there was a good turnout and Arsenal and Spurs drew 2-2. It is a 6.30 pm kick off and all are welcome. Age, gender and infirmity are irrelevant. Be there!

National and International

The Socceroos next match is on the 20 March when they are at home against Indonesia. Five days later they are away to China. Both of these matches are in the third round of qualifying games for the 2026 World Cup. In the current World  Rankings Australia is 26, China 90 and Indonesia 127.

The Matildas were playing in the US in the SheBelieves Cup. They lost 0-4 to Japan and then played the USA and lost 1-2. Finally, last Thursday they lost 1-2 to Colombia. Not a good tournament for the Matilda’s!

In the A League, leaders Auckland drew 4-4 at home to Adelaide and now have an eight point lead over Western Utd who beat Central Coast 3-1. Adelaide drops to third place and Western Sydney moves up to fourth place. At the foot of the table Brisbane  drew 1-1 with Melbourne Victory, who equalised in the 97th minute.

The A League Women were back in action this week and leaders Melbourne City could only manage a 1-1 draw away to Canberra. However, they still lead Victory, who beat  Western Utd, by five points. Adelaide beat Wellington to stay in third spot and Brisbane is still fourth. Sydney is still holding up the table.

The Quote of the Week is from Aston Villa and England’s  Lee Hendrie “I took a whack on my left ankle, but something told me it was my right”.

Friday 28th February (Night Bowls)

Hot conditions greeted our teams on Saturday for Round 13 of the Home Hill Senior Cricket competition.

Alliance Pharmacy v Peto Marine

Alliance Pharmacy won the toss and chose to bat. Lee Watts led the way with 35 runs from 57 balls, supported by 18 runs from both Kane Batchelor and Mark Spalding. Alliance finished with a total of 5/132. The chase from Peto Marine was lead by Brad Parravicini, who retired not out on 50 runs from 31 balls, and consolidated by Greg Flanagan’s 50 not out from 24 balls. JD Wilkins was the pick of the Alliance bowlers, taking 3 wickets for 13 runs from his 3 overs. But the Peto Marine batters proved too strong, winning the match 6/206.

Rookies v Crowned Mongrels

The Rookies were sent in to bat after losing the toss. Alex Stillhard (41 runs) and Dan Olditch (22 runs) were the biggest contributors with the bat, guiding the Rookies innings to a total of 9/142.  Ayden Marano starred for the Mongrels bowling attack, taking 3 wickets for 3 runs (3 overs), then anchored the run chase, making 49 runs from 40 balls before being dismissed. The Mongrels chased strongly with totals of 32 runs from Alexander Romeo, 24 runs from Travis Butler, and Elliot Marano’s 25 runs. Dan Olditch’s bowling efforts of 3 wickets for 17 runs slowed the runs, but ultimately the Mongrels won the match 6/183.

Hot conditions greeted our teams on Saturday for Round 13 of the Home Hill Senior Cricket competition.

Our year started off this weekend with our annual sign-on and coaching session for new members. We also had our regular juniors turn up to refresh those skills and play a few holes, mainly to get rid of the cobwebs on their clubs after a couple of months off!

A wonderful morning was had for the Ayr Juniors sign on this Saturday. Tara Jenkins joined us to teach many basic golf skills to our juniors with some familiar faces from last year, and many news ones too, which was great to see. It looked like everyone had fun.

Many thanks to Tara, Dave Edwards, Shane, Kristina and Glenda, for helping with the morning.
Watch this space and follow our Facebook page, Junior Golf Ayr, for more information on what’s to come next Saturday, and the following weekends ahead for the Ayr Juniors Golf.

The recent floods from the Burdekin River have caused significant disruptions at the Ayr Golf Course, with water lapping up to the edges of the men’s tee on holes 3 and 16. From the 16th green, golfers are witnessing the rising waters flooding over the fairways of 3, 4, and 16. Additionally, the 13th tee has been impacted by the water flowing down 14, while it stretches across the 9th fairway as well.

This is a familiar sight for the locals, as when the Burdekin River floods over Plantation Creek on the main highway between Ayr and Home Hill, the lower-lying fairways of the course inevitably take the brunt of the floodwaters. While the water is gradually receding, the course’s greenkeeper, along with the tireless volunteers who dedicate their time each week, are facing a mammoth task ahead of them to restore the course.

Despite these setbacks, the unwavering community spirit of Ayr’s golf club members shines through. Their ongoing support and hard work—both inside and outside the clubhouse—are essential in maintaining the course’s high standards. The members’ dedication plays a crucial role in ensuring that Ayr Golf Course remains one of Queensland’s finest country courses.

A special thanks is owed to all the volunteers whose continued efforts make the course shine, even in the face of adversity. Their commitment to keeping the course in top condition is a true testament to the resilience of the community.
