Twilight Soccer
Twilight soccer has commenced for both Seniors and Juniors. Hopefully everyone is having a bit of fun and we are very grateful for the level of support shown.
In the senior competition it is a three way tie for first place with three teams been undefeated in the first two rounds. It is good to see that everyone is involved and playing the games in the right spirit, with all teams having a chance for the win.
The junior games, while not being scored, are a great opportunity for kids to develop their soccer and teamwork skills. It’s not too late to bring Junior players along (Under 12s down). Weather depending games are on at 4.30pm Wednesday afternoons.
The soccer club is also holding its AGM tonight at 7.30pm at the Royal Hotel. In the event of rain it may be moved to 6.30pm.

Women’s Bowls
On 21st October, a good turn out was recorded for the women bowlers. Old friend Paavi was there, Jenny and Jill were back, Dottie, Colleen and Lisa all braved the Guyra heatwave, and new friend Candi was welcomed. Hope to see Candi back as a regular! Final scores unknown, but lots of fun was enjoyed by the group.
All new players – and old – welcome. Tuesdays 10am if you would like to come for a roll up. Instruction, help, and bowls supplied if needed!

Ladies’ Golf
Ladies’ golf last week was centred around the Veterans’ successful week of golf in Guyra. Wednesday was a rest day; a welcome reprieve from hot temperatures! Members and guests appreciated the historical display at the Club. Thank you to ladies for the research and building collections for display; generating interesting discussions and good memories.
This week is the Tee- Off for Breast Cancer Flag Event. Think Pink!
Next week we’re looking forward to the Annual Golf trip.

Senior Cricket
Due to a lack of players Guyra Cricket Club has withdrawn from the ADCA senior competition.
Thanks to Craig Lockyer and Simon Brown who have contributed hours of time to ensure that Guyra could field sides in this and previous seasons.
This year’s side, as had previous season’s sides, had the club’s full unconditional support. However a committee mandate of paying unpaid subs to play this season was made because of the financial and litigation risks to Guyra Cricket. Of this, we make no apology.
Those players that have paid season subs, will be reimbursed. Any issues please contact Craig Lockyer on 0427 013 312.
