Excellent greens for vets

A TOTAL of 128 players from the Goulburn Valley Veterans Golf Association teed up at the Euroa Golf Club on Monday, March 25.
The weather was a pleasant 20C with high cloud, but the wind occasionally topped 40km/h.
The rough was consistent with the dry conditions but the fairways and greens were excellent in response to the re-cycled water.
A-grade winner was John Boruch, Numurkah, with 40 stableford points with runner up Stephen Piggott, Numurkah, on 39 pts.
Laurie Stewart, Mooroopna, took out B-grade with 42 pts; from Daryl Sheridan, Numurkah on 41 pts.
C-grade winner was Peter Lahiff, Mooroopna, 41 pts; from Roden Brady, Parklands, with 40 points.
The 18th hole set at about 124 m provided the nearest the pin target, with William Green, Numurkah, successful in A-grade; Denis Prosser, Numurkah, B-grade; and Brian Reiners, Kialla in C-grade.
Ball run down included Peter Beckton, Eric Sellinger, Neville Winch, Peter Eade,Vin Edwards, Peter Curtis, Bernard O’Hare, Neil Hutchins, John Keller, Philip Jarvis, John Bray, Phillip Blair, Len Adams, Ken Harris, Tony Borelli, Geoff Kittlety, Alan Newby, Geoff Hamill, Paul Jones, Leo Hartup, Bill Murphy, Brian Johnson, Ray Winnell, Walter Tink, Ian Clarke (Kialla), Gary Hopcraft, Robert Frame, Barry Webber, Ron Dixon, Barry Graham, John Neale, Ray Gourlay and Jim Rae.

There are only a few places left in our team for the Intra-zone Challenge at Benalla on May 13.
This event is restricted to 36 players from each district of Dalhousie, Goulburn Valley and North East. There is no handicap restriction and the usual 9.30 am assembly and 10.00 am tee applies. THE Kyabram Netball Association summer netball challenge finals are here.
The five-week pre-season competition has come to an end with six teams left to battle it out for grand final glory.
KNA’s Sandy Carver said there was strong interest from district netball clubs resulting in a high level of competition.
“The feedback from clubs has been good and they have all enjoyed it as a pre-season competition,” she said.
Lancaster and the All Stars will contest the final in the under 13 division, Kyabram takes on Jen’s Team in the under 15 competition and it’s Girgarre v Lancaster for the under 17 final.
