Anthony McLean - winner of last Saturday's 4BBB. |
This Saturday the men's Stableford backmarker will be played with the ladies also playing a single stableford.
This Sunday Brownie's RSL mob will play a single stableford event with the club contesting a mixed four ball, which will be the Club Keno Club qualifier.
Last Wednesday the Maytime 4BBB Stableford was played and won by Ray Wood and Ron Barnett, winning by one from Don Gregor and consistent Len Diett. The gross was taken out by Peter Sculley and Mark Astley.
Last Saturday the Suntori Monthly Medal was played with Greg Anderson winning the overall trophy with 65. The A Grade winner was Peter Scully who is playing very good golf of late playing off 4, with Stewie Bradhurst finishing in second place. The B Grade winner was Arthur Zaferis, winning by 2 from Tony Porter, with Garrick Semple taking out the C Grade from Garry Gee. Young club and Northern Rivers talent, Nathan Purdy took out the A Grade gross with 3 over 75, while Robert Marcon won B Grade, and Don Kennedy C Grade. Nearest the Pins - 3rd B Walsh; - 8th G Gee; 9th S Terlich; 14th B Hannan; 18th R Marcon.
This Saturday Lismore golfers will travel to the Bay to contest the second round of the Thomas, Noble and Russell Trophy with Lismore 8 points in front and should defeat the Bay boys on their home turf. Bit disappointing the rest of the Bay boys pulled out last Saturday morning, but thanks to club captain Barry Mole for bringing the other 6.
Last Saturday a single stableford event was played, with travelling amateur David Rutherford, playing like a pro since he has retired, winning by one from Mick Trimble and John Wooldridge. Ross Taylor took out B Grade in fine style, winning by 2 from Paul Barber and Len Bowden, with Rick Lowe winning C Grade from Greg Butler and Adrian Gilmore.
After the pressures of the champos the members can relax this Saturday and take part in a 4BBB stableford.
Great weather and the course in top condition saw good fields take part in this year's Cassino Security club champos which was as I said an exciting finish. My pick through the champos, Greenkeeper Mick Greber, who knows every bit of grass on the course, proved that by winning the club champos for the third successive year, making it four in all. He had me a bit worried with his final round though, he went into the final round one shot ahead, but after some shaky stuff, saw the runner up Brett Dean take the lead. Then Mick hit his straps, after seven holes, with birdies at the 8th, 9th, 11th, 14th and 16th, to finish with a fine 1 over, beating Dean by 5 shots. I think that was a remarkable exhibition by Mick and a big congratulations mate! Can we pick 'em! Terry O'Brien also exercised his guile and cunning to take out A Reserve in a very tight tussle, winning on the 19th hole in a play-off from Adrian Lotz, which was a great effort from Terry as he started the final round 5 shots behind Lotz. Top stuff Terry!
Mark Bratti continued his lead and took out B Grade by 4 from Frank Tarlington, with Andrew Campbell having the easiest of wins, if there is such a thing, beating Ian Quirk by 15 shots. Simon Jones took out the Junior title with club legend Les Isaac taking out the Veterans title. Well done all you guys! Ian Quirk had the best net score on the day, with 65, to take out C Grade from Russell Charlton, with Terry O'Brien taking out A Grade 66 by a shot from Mick Greber, with Tony Snow winning B Grade by one from Vern Newlands, and so ends for another very exciting finish to a club champos.
Last Saturday a single stableford event was played with Lex Browning taking the honours with 45, winning on a countback from Keith Myers, with Adrian Snow winning the junior ball. Don't forget next Saturday which is the official opening of the revamped nine holes and should be a top day.
This Saturday and Sunday the third and final rounds of the champos will be played, and sponsored by Kyogle Retravision.
Last Saturday the second round of the club champos was played, with Ray Williams taking out the A Grade honours, winning by 4 from Gary Moore and Rob Mortimer. Scott Job took out the B Grade with 70 to win by a shot from George Armstrong. Balls to 75.
This Saturday Lismore golfers will travel to Byron Bay to contest the second and final round of the Thomas, Noble and Russell trophy. Lismore leads by 8 points and should win the trophy even playing away.
Last Thursday a single stableford was played and won by David Rutherford, with 42, by one from Trent Webber. Welcome back Frank Celedin. Veteran golfer Claude Gardner took out the front nine from Russ Joseph, with Bob Carlson winning the back nine from Nathan Hughes. Steve Fredericks recorded a fine 3 under par round 67 to take out the gross section.
Last Saturday a 4BBB stableford event was played with a visit from the Bay boys with Lismore to travel back over this Saturday.
The Royal Blind Society Charity Golf Day is this Sunday. The event is an ambrose fours, tee off at high noon, $25 per head, which includes barbie and golf. Over $1000 worth of trophies to be won with a couple of big clubhouse draws.
Golfers don't forget a very important golf day for a very popular golfer who has passed on and we hold a golf day in his memory. The day is the Gil Crawford memorial golf day, and will be an ambrose fours, and it is hoped a full field will prevail, in honour of a very popular past figure.
The winners last Saturday were a couple of talented young golfers, Anthony McLean and Brett Forrester, with a fine 51 points, winning by 2 from Dean Skinner and Steve Morrissey. The visiting Bay winners were the 'Big Fella' Duncan McIvor and Ron Dowell with 44 points. The Bradman's trophy was won by Phil Creary and his partner.
Happy Birthday to club member for a long time, Bob Booth, 71 years young. Onya mate! Nearest the pins - 2nd (PFD) A Skinner; 5th (McCanns Car Sales) G Sheafe; 8th (Hampton and Larsson) A McLean; 11th (Workers Club) T Hughes; 13th (M and T Tyres) T Hughes; 16th (Pro) J Smith. Pro balls - 46 or better.
The ladies played a four person ambrose with Sue Pringle again partnering Vianka Dadswell, Kay Davidson and Megan Stone, from Betty Whitelaw, Lenore Walsh, Betty Waddell and Nancy Cross. Pennant teams on nomination board.
What's My Linewith Ian Clark
Again the young blokes have saved the old man from a couple of cold nights out with the dog.
They brought home their Mother's Day cards they made at daycare last Friday.
Alarm bells sounded. And by the amount of blokes with kids at the shopping centre I was not the only one. A present was produced with breakfast Sunday morning and a good day followed.
So to all the mums out there a belated Happy Mother's Day.
Something new from the Lake Macquarie System on the central coast is marine worm aquaculture.
The company Aquabait Pty Ltd is cultivating a close relative to the beachworm.
Commonly known as the tube or case worm they can grow up to a metre in length. The worms are cultivated in the 20 to 30cm length with a width of 5 to 8mm.
They can be bought preserved in a specially marketed non toxic solution which means they can be kept in the freezer for up to six months.
Talking of worms, they have been the favoured bait along the two walls at Ballina for jew.
With the recent rains we have had there is still a bit of colour in the river so baits such as mullet strips or mullet gut would be the preferred bait at this stage.
These baits have been fairly popular for the bream that are hovering around the rocky banks of The Richmond.
On the beaches tailor and bream have been the main species. A lot of choppers are in amongst the bigger ones and it is hard to keep a bait intact.
Airforce to Broadwater beach have had some nice size bream caught there this week.
Some jew have been poking around the headland and Chinaman's beach with reports of them in the 10 plus kilo bracket.
Off shore I am having trouble getting reports as access to the outside has been not the most reliable of late. What I have heard is that it is fairly ordinary.
That's all for this week. The spot this week is Black Head again or along Angels beach. There was a nice deep gutter at time of writing along the face right up to Flat rock. Hopefully it is still there come the weekend.
Until next week,
fun fishing.
'I can see clearly now the rain is gone,' was the catch cry of the day last Sunday.
A very frustrated Ballina Club played their first game in four weeks at Lismore on Sunday while the Brunswick Bulldogs travelled to Schultz Oval in Bangalow to play against the Byron Magpies.
Lismore's new home ground of Mortimer Oval has already proven to be a winner due to an increased presence. And Mr T's Swans have seen an increase in numbers due to more people being aware that junior AFL is played in the area.
The Swans under 12s went down to an in form Ballina 4-4-28 points to 5-6-36 points while Byron under 12s defeated Brunswick's Bulldogs 6-6-42 points to 1-2- totalling 8 points.
The only other match of the round was the under 15s between the Byron Magpies and the Brunswick Bulldogs.
Byron dominated the game being outright winners finishing with 8-17-65 to 5-9-39.
Next week sees Ballina versus Brunswick at Fripp Oval, Ballina.
And Lismore versus Byron at Schultz Oval, Bangalow.
All clubs are looking for more players particularly in the under 15s and under 10s age groups.

Richmond Rovers' hopes of joining Soccer FNC's premier division pace-setter Byron Bay on top of the ladder hinge on two key games on Saturday, when Rovers need a home win over second-placed Ballina at 3pm to keep the pressure on the Rams, who face a difficult away clash against the steadily improving Lismore Workers from 5pm.
With five wins from six games and two games in hand, Rovers are emerging as one of the few sides that could stop the rampaging Rams running away with the premiership, but face a Ballina lineup getting used to success and hungry to bounce back from a lack lustre 2-0 loss to Workers in their last start.
Rovers should be at full strength, apart from speedy flanker Brett Lane, with Adam Sheridan expected to return from injury to partner in-form brother Tim in attack.
Rovers' wealth of attacking options also includes Troy Matthews, Steve Arnett and Arron Smee, but Ballina boast their own array of quality players capable of taking chances, headed by Troy Percival, Justin Stockham and Peter Edwards.
With a wealth of scoring potential on both sides and Rovers committed to a new attacking style this season, the game promises to produce a feast of goal-mouth action, but on home soil most will be expecting a Rovers win.
Workers will be hoping the home advantage also aids their cause, as the Redmen look to become only the second side to beat Byron Bay this season.
With Anthony Alvos back in midfield, Workers re-vamped lineup is beginning to assume a formidable look, with ex-Thistles striker Steve Morrissey settling up front and new sweeper Matthew Kelso showing his worth by scoring both goals from corners in last week's win over Ballina.
But Workers new-found confidence faces the ultimate test against a full strength Byron Bay outfit that can attack from anywhere, evidenced by having ten players on their scorers list after just eight games.
Stars supporters are predicting a big game from striker and joint premier division top scorer Wayne Mortimer when he lines up against his former club Casino at Stars Barrow Lane field on Saturday from 3pm.
The rep striker made a surprise move from Casino to Stars at the start of the season and displayed his undisputed class with a five goal haul against Goonellabah a fortnight ago, proving he is enjoying his new setting within Stars quality lineup.
The deadly finisher would like nothing more than a brace of goals against his old club to prove a point and with an intimate knowledge of the Cobras defenders, will be well aware of their weaknesses.
Last week's 2-0 win over Alstonville lifted Stars into outright third and while they go into the home fixture as firm favourites, Casino's young squad has shown tremendous application this season under the second year of coach Bob Piccoli's influence and have all the ingredients for an upset.
Playing with control and pace, Casino inflicted a 7-1 thrashing on Souths in their mid-week game, before suffering a tight 1-0 loss to premiership candidates Rovers last Saturday, leaving the Cobras match-hardened and primed for a surprise result.
Casino will be without suspended striker Nathan Scully, but Piccoli has blended a squad that has plenty of scoring options that will keep Stars defence busy.
South Lismore's poor start to the season has triggered the first coaching casualty for 2002, with Mal Sanderson standing down after the Celtics received a 7-1 hammering on home soil from Casino in last week's mid-week game.
After just one draw to show from seven games, Souths were left occupying the bottom rung on the ladder and Sanderson felt it was time to stand aside, leaving reserve division coach Rodney Hyde to fill the breech.
Hyde endured an immediate baptism of fire in last weekend's 5-1 loss to premiership favourites Byron Bay and faces another big ask to pull Souths together for Saturday's tough clash with defending premiers Maclean.
Souths have the home advantage for the 5pm kick off, but face a Bobcats side rejuvenated by last week's inspired win over Thistles.
Despite playing with ten men for 80 minutes, Maclean produced a return to their traditional intensity to earn their first win of the season with a stunning 3-0 result.
The Bobcats were due to hit form and will now forget their own poor start to the year, as they begin a belated charge for the semis.
Hyde knows he faces a huge challenge to lift Souths out of the relegation zone, but after 17 years with the Celtics has an intimate knowledge of the players and how to get the most out of them.
'We want to try and stay up in the premiers for the sake of our upcoming juniors, but to do that we need to rebuild some self-belief in the players and get them to enjoy their game again,' Hyde said.
Lismore Thistles coach Rod Lees described last week's loss to a 10-man Maclean as 'our worst performance of the year', leaving the wounded Blues determined to make amends in Saturday's home clash with Goonellabah from 5pm.
The loss dumped Thistles from third to fifth on a congested ladder, leaving Lees predicting 'this is a danger game for us, we need to get our intensity back or we could pay the price'.
Injury will rule French midfielder Yannic Castella out and with several others playing at less than 100% fitness, Thistles could be vulnerable to a young Hornets lineup determined to prove they're a better side than results so far might indicate.
One Sunday match is scheduled this weekend, with Southern Cross Uni hoping to defy the loss of some key strikers to claim their third straight win in the students home clash with Alstonville from 2.30pm.
Uni has finally discovered some consistency after wins over Stars and Goonellabah in their last two starts and will go in as firm favourites against a Villa lineup still chasing their first three-pointer.
But with strikers Peter O'Neil, Dean Stensholm and possibly Robbie Williams missing, the students have some reshuffling to do.
O'Neil will miss the rest of the season after incurring cruciate ligament damage in their torrid win over Stars, while Stensholm's season could also be over as he faces a 12 month suspension for alleged contact with an assistant referee whilst a spectator at Uni's clash with Souths a month ago.
The 2002 Echo Hot Shots award has plenty of early candidates, headed by pacesetters Wayne Mortimer and Bruce Morhaus.
Both strikers are averaging almost a goal per match, but have plenty of competition from a host of others also showing good early form, including two time Golden Boot winner Steve Morrissey.
The eventual winner will receive a weekend for two at a luxury Gold Coast resort.
Progress tally
7 - Wayne Mortimer (Stars), Bruce Morhaus (Byron).
6 - Justin Stockham (Ballina).
5 - Steve Morrissey (Workers), Troy Percival (Ballina), Nathan Jones (Byron).
Despite being down to 12 players at one stage of the match, Casino defeated Southern Cross University 25-12 last weekend.
Last weekend's scores in first grade would normally have been considered huge were they not in the wake of the Waratahs humiliating 96-19 defeat by the Crusaders.
Wollongbar smashed Byron Bay 46-0, Ballina defeated Mullum 41-0, Lismore took care of Grafton 30-3 and Casino beat Southern Cross University 25-12.
Uni will need to show a huge improvement on their efforts (or lack of) against the Bulls if the Gold Rats are to have any chance of competing when they take on Lismore City this weekend.
The students began the game well and for the first fifteen minutes played strongly against the Bulls, scoring the first try when centre Matt Flanagan evaded the defence to cross.
However, from that time onwards University seemed determined to lose the game.
The Bulls played, as they usually do, strong, consistent footy and despite being down to 12 players late in the second half punished the Rats for their multiple mistakes.
Lismore City, on the other hand, put on one of their best performances to date against Grafton and despite being well below Uni on the table if both perform this weekend as they did last then the students are in for a hard lesson.
Lismore controlled the strong Grafton scrum and fed the ball out to their talented backline, who took full advantage of the possession to run in five tries.
Wollongbar head south to play Grafton. While Grafton have the strength to match it with Wollongbar, they don't have the all round game needed to beat the Pioneers this season and Wollongbar should win this one with the bonus point.
Ballina play host to Byron this Saturday and while the Seahorses haven't been the dominating force seen in pervious seasons they are starting to look pretty good. Byron still haven't quite managed to find the form they need if they are to be competitive against the top teams and against an improving Ballina at home the Bay will struggle.
Casino go up to the hills to play the Mullum Moonshiners.
While Mullum are always strong at home, especially in front of their creative, vocal, imaginative crowd (note to Moonshiners supporters: while it may be funny the first 30 times to tell the photographer that you need shots for your modelling port folio, after 31 the joke becomes less funny) but the Bulls have hit their strides. Casino easily have the personnel to control the Mullum scrum and, as they demonstrated against Uni last weekend, when given half a chance the Bulls know how to cross the line.
Casino should beat Mullum and leave the Moonshiners thirsting for points.
Brothers look to be back at their brilliant best and have arrived at where they're used to be being: the top of the table.
After demolishing Kyogle 80-6 last weekend and the Grafton Ghosts going down to Mullumbimby 24-16, Brothers superior for and against has them on the top of the ladder.
Good news for the Rams means bad news for the Tigers this weekend though, when the two meet at 3pm on Crozier Oval.
While Brothers look to have found form Workers Tigers are still struggling and a narrow 34-38 loss to South Grafton last weekend means the Tigers have only registered one victory so far this season (although they do have a game in hand because of the postponement of their match against Lower Clarence).
Workers haven't been playing particularly badly, they just haven't managed to find the consistency, discipline and flow that is needed this season to put points on the board.
Unless the Tigers manage to pull everything together for this weekend they are in real danger of being completely out of touch with the stronger sides in group one. The Tigers do always lift against the Rams but with one side only having one victory and one side only one loss it would be a brave punter who'd back Workers this weekend.
After a huge 64-4 drubbing over Byron Bay last weekend Lower Clarence play host to the Mullumbimby Giants this weekend in what should be a very close match.
Both teams have only lost one game this season and Mullum look to be improving every game.
The Magpies also look very strong and with the home advantage should win in a tight one.
The Red Devils will have a visit from the Grafton Ghosts this weekend and despite playing on their home ground Byron can expect another big loss.
Casino should have a large crowd for their home game against the Kyogle Turkeys.
The Cougars defeated Ballina 26-18 last weekend in their best game of the season so far and with a large partisan crowd behind them should easily account for the Turkeys.
Ballina take on the South Grafton Rebels at home in what should also be a close game.
After losing to the Cougars last weekend Ballina badly need the win to stay in touch with the leaders on the ladder.
The Rebels have been a little inconsistent this year but with the home advantage should take care of the Seagulls.
A Victorian researcher is asking country sportsmen and women about the way they work with their physiotherapists after a sports injury.
Jon Finch, a former country boy now working in Melbourne, is looking at ways the relationship between physiotherapist and sports patient can help or hinder recovery.
He hopes sports players in Lismore district will help find answers by completing a survey form for La Trobe University research.
'All the participants will go into a draw for $200 for taking part in this research. Some people might like to nominate their club for the money as a useful donation,' he said.
Jon Finch says there is a widespread belief that many patients fail to follow advice from physiotherapists.
'However, identifying the reasons has only just begun. My research project is to seek and spell out the reasons so that recovery from sports injuries can be a quick and full recovery. Both the patients and the physios need more information on what influences a good recovery,' he said.
Jon Finch says his invitation to Lismore district sports participants is to people who:
'Our survey will also allow comparison with metropolitan sport and guide physiotherapists in ensuring their work and advice meets the patient's needs,' Finch said.
'All responses will be anonymous, and helping the survey is quick and easy.'
Jon Finch will send a question form and reply-paid envelope if you contact him on: Email: J.Finch@latrobe.edu.au or Postal:

or Telephone: 0413 662 916.
He estimates that answers will take no more than 15 minutes.
Recycled Sports recently had a couple of new work experience employees to work in their Lismore store. Both local and federal members of parliament, Thomas George and Ian Causley, helped out on the floor and found out what it was like to be a member of the regular workforce.
Proprietor of Recycled Sports, Ian Carrington, stated the visits were useful and expressed surprise that more local retailers didn't take up the offer of cheap labour.
'The exercise gave us the opportunity to personally meet our local pollies and to take up some issues,' Carrington said. 'Since we're in the process of franchising the Recycled Sports concept, Thomas gave us some helpful contacts that have already proved fruitful,' Mr Carrington said.
The Lismore Swans are host to the current leaders in the Summerland Australian Football League on Saturday, when the Ballina RSL Bombers travel to Clifford Park, Goonellabah, to battle the home side in their second meeting of the season.
It was the Swans who dominated most of the last encounter, but Ballina blasted in the last quarter when they scored 8 goals zip to come from 3 goals behind for the 33-point win.
On their home turf again, the in-form Lismore side will need to remain hungry for the entire game if they want to upset the Bombers. They will be looking for their third win on the trot and the chance to close the two-game gap on the ladder.
If Coach Ronny Meldrum can get the full complement on the paddock then Lismore will be a hard side to beat in front of their home crowd. He was pleased with the backup win over Nimbin after the top victory over Byron at the Nimbin Mardi Grass.
'It was pleasing that the boys continued the good form from the Byron game, and a strong team effort has resulted in a step-up the ladder. The team needs to be at their best this week for Ballina, but we have some top players who are stepping up to meet the challenges,' he said on Sunday after the win over Nimbin.
Nathan Condon was on fire as was fellow-Swan Greg Rolfe, and Ballina will need another sterling performance from Sam Kennedy, who was a dominator in the ruck over Byron on Saturday.
Lismore player Simon Howard has been improving and found his target to slot 3 goals on the weekend and 'little' Rolfy has also been scoring majors. A big turnaround in the Lismore game has seen the shots at goal much more focused, and the days of regularly booting more points seems to be behind the winning side.
Ballina has several forward options this year after a positive recruiting season sees around six good players still on the sidelines through sheer numbers. Injuries and other factors have allowed players to rotate as needed, but desire and commitment will be the key for selectors this week with most players available for the coming Match of the Round.
Byron is languishing in third spot on the ladder and will need to dig deep when they travel to the Nimbin Showground this weekend. They have succumbed in their last two games and another suspension on the weekend will not help, leaving them a player down for two weeks. But they are the reigning Premiers and will be desperate to get back on the winners' list.
Tim Donahoe was their best player against Ballina on the weekend and he has been consistent over the first five games.
Nimbin on the other hand will be dying to notch their first win and this game could be the first real chance they've had this season. The Demons are playing excellent footy at home and the support of the one-eyed Nimbin crowd lifts the side to new levels. If they can get a big turnout to the Showground this Saturday then Byron may be looking at a hat trick of losses to go with their current hat trick of Premierships.
Cameron Hatty is driving Nimbin attacks from the centre, and players all over the field are fast becoming match fit, and game smart, giving the Demons more contest and options for the ball.
Ruckman John Moir, who joined Nimbin from Brisbane this year, will be unavailable for several weeks due to international travel, and will be sorely missed. Coach Frank Reid will have to take over the tall-man ruckwork, while the Demons need to find more tall players for this role.
If the home side can show the form of their earlier home games, then they will be a big chance of upsetting Byron for their first victory.

Federal sports minister releases guidelines
The Federal Minister for the Arts and Sport, Senator Rod Kemp, presented guidelines on participation in sport by pregnant women to representatives of the sports sector last Monday.
Pregnancy in Sport: Guidelines for the Australian Sporting Industry was produced by the Australian Sports Commission in consultation with experts in the fields of medicine, law, insurance, ethics and sport.
A key message from the report is that the decision to continue to participate in sport should be made by the pregnant woman in consultation with medical professionals.
The much-anticipated report has been drawn together from discussions led by experts in the above fields who participated in last year's National Forum on Pregnancy and Sport, convened by the Australian Sports Commission.
Senator Kemp believes the publication will prove a valuable resource for the Australian sporting industry.
'The report is an excellent tool for organisations and individuals in the sport industry,' Senator Kemp said.
'It sets out guidelines and provides contemporary information based on discussions at the forum. Importantly, a fundamental finding of the report is that the benefits of staying active and continuing sport at some level throughout pregnancy can outweigh potential risks. This is an important message that we need to get out into the community, however women should discuss the issue with a medical professional first,' he said.
The report reviews the latest information, research and statistics on pregnant women playing sport. It also answers questions about related issues, summarises information on health and medicine, the law, insurance and ethics, and includes a section detailing further useful resources.
Pregnancy in Sport: Guidelines for the Australian Sporting Industry can be found at: http://www.activeaustralia.org/women/pregnancy.htm
