GRIFFITH CLUB NOTES

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" April 9, 1995 - No. 1

It feels as if we only finish the '94 season last month, yet here we are fronting up to another six months of footy and netball. Maybe this season September will bring celebrations our way. First, on behalf of the Griffith Club a welcome to those new clubs who are joining the league and let's hope the new directions for Australian Rules will be successful and the game will prosper.
Over the break our committee undertook the task of restructure the running of the club, so to those people who volunteered to take up their chosen director's role, thank you and I hope that you enjoy the task.

Our coaches for this year are Phillip Rowston, Craig Bretherton and Terry Bennett.
The last six months have been busy when you consider Greg & Rachel, Chis & Peta, Bomber & Dawn (our newest Pommie supporter) were engaged, and Shane and Kelly had a baby.
On a sad note, Betty Griggs passed away recently. Betty would rate up among some of the staunchest supporters.
The club welcomes back four of our past Under 18's best & fairest winners in Matt Cox, Danny Files, Tony Butcher and Christian Files. We extend the welcome to Don Moran & Mandy, Owen Geddes & Kim, Gaby Weetra and family, Scott McCutcheon, Dean McGowan and Aaron O'Keefe. Other past players to return are Brent Hathaway and Justin Barry.
Today we play Ganmain-Grong Grong-Matong away as we did last year first up, so let's reverse the result and introduce the club song to our new players. Up The Swans!

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" April 14, 1995 - No. 2

It's been that long since Griffith had a win at Ganmain that no one can put a firm date on it and to win in the first game and in such style was a great start for the season. However, the Seconds and Under 18's failed to win which takes away a little off the gloss. The Under 18's put in a shocker as coach Terry Bennett put it, so it can only get better with more games together and with improvement the side will be a very competitive outfit. Best players were Matt Olney, Glen Vaccari, Matt Kenny, Adam Sara and Kane Duncan.
'Jokers' Warriors put in a magnificent effort on the bus trip home, but unfortunately that wasn't the case on the field, despite having 60% of the play, the lack of goal kickers in the forward line resulted in the gaming being lost. With some tall timber to come back into the side it will be a very competitive side throughout the season, providing everyone sticks together. The award winners were Brendan "Bomber" Browne $30, Richard Telfer $20, and the Players' Player award as well, as Chris Noack the $10. Bomber also won the guzzler's mug. Other good players were Craig "Joker" Bretherton and Ian Geddes.
The First Grade also put in a top team effort with everyone making a contribution towards the win. With no passengers in the side, they controlled the game from start to finish. The incentive award winners, which was sponsored by Quiprite, were Chris Conlan $100, Danny Files $50, Matt Cox $30 and Owen Geddes $20, and the Players' Player award went to Jason Vaccari. Other good players were Gary Argus, Brett Davis and Phillip Rowston.
Sorry girls, but I didn't have any netball info to hand. Tonight, it's Turvey Park, so let's set ourselves for a big weekend and get five wins!

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" April 23, 1995 - No. 3

Friday night football at the Ex-Servicemen's Oval is a great thing for football judging by the crowd that came. It differently had finals feel about it and with the gate over $5000 it proves that doing something different to promote the game differently works.
The Under 18's bounced back to soundly beat the Bullpups which pleased TB greatly. Best players were the Duncan brothers Kane and Rodney, Dean Leask, Aaron Poole and Matt Olney.
The 2nds put in a much better effort against Turvey and with more players to come back into the side it will only improve further. It was a shame we couldn't farewell David Gee and Chris Noack with a win, but that's football. Best players were Dean Jamieson in his first game for the club, Brendon Browne, Dominic Norman and Brent Hathaway. Out basketball convert Tim Whitney showed that he will be a good asset to the club.
The Seniors in a great game of football that was even up to the 10-minute mark of the last quarter, Turvey pulled away to win. The crowd expected a good game and certainly got their money's worth. Best players for Griffith were Jamie Bennett, Gary Argus, Owen Geddes, Phil Rowston, Danny Files and Brett Davis. Unfortunately, I didn't have the incentive sponsors or winners, but will let you know nest week.
Today we travel to Mango - a new side, new ground, different opposition, so let's show them what the Swans are made of and come home with three wins.

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" April 30, 1995 - No. 4

For the first time this season the club collect 4 wins, let's hope that there are plenty more days like it this season.
The Under 18's side kept up the good work from the Turvey Park game and came away with a good win. The Area News sponsored winners were Matt Rovere $20, Matt Kenny $15, and Brent Harrison $10. Other good players were Dean Leask and Glen Vaccari.
The Reserves finally had a win and with the number of players at training the pressure looks to be on to maintain a place in the side which is what a healthy football club is all about. Maybe Aaron 'Porky' O'Keefe should be concentrating on goal kicking after returning the figures of 1-9 and two out bounds. Best players were Brent Hathaway who picked up $30 and the Mug for players player, Myles Bunn $20 and Richard Telfer $10, Greg Dreyer and Craig Bretherton also had good games.
The Seniors returned to the winners list against Mango and also had trouble finding the tall timber so goal kicking practice could be on all week. Swampy Davis, Gabby Weetra, Billy McGowan and Shane Ruyg also there. The Shane Best incentive award winners were Dean 'Billy' McGowan $100, Malcolm Burke $50, Danny Files $30 and Tony Butcher $20. The girls also had a win, but details were not available.
This week it's Wagga Tigers so let's get stuck in and come away with another 4 wins.

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" May 7, 1995 - No. 5

After suffering defeat in all grades last week its back to basics to improve our levels at training and hopefully show an improvement on the football field. The Under 18's had more scoring shots than Wagga but couldn't covert enough to eventually go down by 13 points. Best players were Matt Kenny $20, Barney Whelan $15 and Adam Sara $10. The incentive award was sponsored by The Area News; other good players were Kane Duncan and Stuart Davies.
The 2nds lost the game in one quarter of football but matched the Tigers in the other three quarters. In a game where the side could have folded and coped a pounding everyone stuck to their guns and battled the game out. With the players to come back from injury the side can only get stronger. The incentive award winners were Ian Geddes $30, Glen Collis $20, Tim Whitney $10 with Andrew McCashney winning the players play mug.
In the Senior match the side had to play catch up football all day after a lapse at the end of the first quarter and start of the second yet match Wagga until the last 10 minutes when they ran riot. The Wickham Hill Packaging incentive winners were Jamie Bennett $100, Dean 'Billy' McGowan, Dean Jamieson $30, and Scott McCutcheon $20. A well-deserved winner of the players player award was Tony Butcher. Best players were Gary Argus, Gaby Weetra and Phil Rowston.
The Netballers also lost 18-12 with the best players being Lisa Brand, Kim Barber and Rachel Dreyer.

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" May 14, 1995 - No. 6

Back on the track with 3 wins against North Wagga, all we need now is the return of the injured players and things will really start to go our way. Gary Argus coached the Under 18's and they responded well having a convincing win. The Area News incentive award winners were Matt Olney, Norm Campbell and Dwayne Ashcroft. Other good players were Kane Duncan and Dean Leask.
The 2nds had a second win for the season and with Griffith's version of Plugger (after a two-year diet) leading the way, they won it in convincing style. Brad 'Hammo' Hammond only needs to repeat his 10-goal haul again this week and he might find himself heading the goal kicking. Some of the players helped as well and they were Adam King, Richie Telfer, Malcolm Burke, Tim Whitney, Ian Geddes and Scotty Collis. Incentive winners were Kingy $30, Telfer $20 and Scotty Collis $10, while Tiny and Hammo won the Mugs.
The Seniors came away with the win, but it wasn't in a most convincing manner. Maybe with the return of some players our playing style will improve. The incentive award winners which the Supporters Club sponsored this week were won by Greg Dreyer $100, Dean Jamieson $50, Matt Kenny $30 and Tony Butcher $20. Other good players were Phil Rowston and Gary Argus.
The Netball girls played an 18-goal draw with best players being Rachel Dreyer and Kim Barber.
This week it's East Wagga -Kooringal so let's help Owen Geddes celebrate against his old side.

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" May 21, 1995 - No. 7

With a full squad of players available last week for the first time this year and East Wagga-K. the very opposite with regards to playing strength, it was little wonder the second highest score (252) in the league history was racked up, but the boys really did put it together for the entire game and can only get better.
The Under 18's started the day off on the right note and ran out easy winners in the end against an under strength side. Best players were Bill Furner $15, Matt Olney $10 and Kane Duncan $5. Other good players were Steve Serafin and Damon Clark.
The 2nds also racked up one of the biggest scores they have ever kicked as well with Christian Files and Brent Hathaway and Adam King enjoying goal kicking. Best players and incentive award winners were Brent Hathaway $30, Justin Barry $20 and Scotty McDermott $10, with the players play award to Kingy.
With 10 goal kickers in First Grade, nearly everyone had a crack at the big sticks. With a full side the boys played some of the football seen at the Exies for some time. The incentive award winners, which was sponsored by Steve Best, were Chris Conlan who had a blinder $100, Tony Butcher who doesn't know how to play a bad game $50, Jamie Bennett showing his true potential $30, and Dean McGowan giving us his version of Plugger $20. This week it's Collingullie, so let's keep up the good work and don't let up from last week.

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" June 4, 1995 - No. 8

Welcome to a big day of Aussie Rules. For the first time the senior and junior club will play on the same day giving everyone involved the opportunity to observe football at its best. Hopefully the efforts of the Leeton and Griffith committees (junior & senior) will be rewarded with a great day of footy.

After a well-received rest, it's back into the fray as they say. Congrats to both Gary Argus and Phil Rowston in making the rep side.

Against the Gullie our Under 18's (& 5 Under 15's who helped out) played a very tough and rugged encounter only to lose the very spirited game. The incentive award winners were Glen Vaccari $20, Adam Sara $15 and Troy Hulm $10, who didn't mind the step up from the 15's.
The 2nds, even without a few of their stars, came away with a comfortable win and discovered some new talent to bolster the ranks. Chris Scobie and Don McMillan all having their first run for the year didn't let the side down at all. The incentive awards to Daniel Tuohey $30, Adam King $20 and Brent Hathaway $10. Christian Files won the mug with the 'Players Player' award to Daniel Tuohey.
In a very tight game, the Seniors continued to cement their place in the top half of the ladder. The incentive award winners sponsored by Quiprite saw Dean Jamieson pick up the $100, Matt Kenny $50, Jamie Bennett $30 and Chris Conlan in a best-on-ground display $20.
The Netballers had a tough fought game with 100% effort from everyone. Sadly, the asphalt upset Kim Barber's knee. Best was Lisa Brand. The final score was 12-17 Gullie's way. With seven results up for grabs, let's make sure Griffith wins the lot!!

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" June 11, 1995 - No. 9

Last Saturday turned out to be all that was expected, 6 games of football all on the same oval proved to be a successful promotion of the code. Congratulations to Darrell Collins (Griffith) and Richard Blagrove (Leeton-Whitton) on making the day happen. With 8 results up for grabs it was a great effort to win 6 football matches and the 2 netball games as well.
After a very even Under 18's match which had a low scoring result the boys came away with the victory. Best players and incentive award winners were Bill Furner $20, Kevin Collins $15, and Adam Sara $10, with other good players being Matthew Olney and Glen Vaccari.
A very pumped up and highly strung captain coach got the 2nds in the right frame of mind, and they also had a good win. The incentive awards went to Malcolm Burke $30, Andrew McCashney $20 and Richie Telfer $10, while the players play award went to Jamie Reid and Jason Vaccari.
Unfortunately, our win in the First Grade was dampened with the news that Dean Jamieson might miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury. The incentive award winners went to Owen Geddes $100, Dean McGowan $50 (8 great goals), Ricky Burdett $30 and Greg 'Splash' Collins $20. Other good players were Brett 'Swampy' Davis, Matt Cox and Phil Rowston.
The Netball girls started off very strongly. A comfortable half time lead saw them through for a win. Player of the Day was Karen Conlan with the final score 29-18. This week it's Coolamon who always save something for Griffith so let's beware of them.

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" June 25, 1995 - No. 11

With the halfway mark of the season behind us it's now time to start focusing on getting our act together in the lead up to the business end of the season. Against Coolamon the Under 18's started the day off in the right direction with a good win. The incentive award winners were Kane Duncan $20, Stuart Davies $15 and Linden Cullen $10. Other good players were Glen Vaccari and Bill Furner.
The 2nds continued on their winning way and continued the improvement of the last couple of weeks. The incentive award winners were Tony Butcher $30, Adam King $20 and Richie Telfer $10. Other good players were Justin Barry, Craig Bretherton and Daniel Tuohey. With another 8 goals, Brad Hammond must be giving the goal kicking a nudge.
The Seniors also had a good win and with nine goal kickers on the day they certainly kicked a winning score. The incentive award winners were Dean McGowan $100, Owen Geddes $50, Greg Dreyer $30 and Michael Reid with Greg Dreyer winning the Players' Player award.
The Netball Ladies also had a good win over Coolamon 21-17. Best players were Tanya Olney, Shakira Ford and Naomi Collis.
This week it's Narrandera so let's make sure that we keep building the momentum towards the finals.

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" July 1, 1995 - No. 12

After another combined senior & junior football day it's certainly to become an excepted way of running football. It allows the day to be a real family affair.
The Under 18's had a very commanding win over Narrandera and allows them the opportunity to cement themselves in the final five this week against Temora. Best players were Bill Furner, Brent Harrison, Matt Olney, Kane Duncan and Norm Campbell with the incentive awards going to Matt Onley $20, Glen Vaccari $15 and Gavin Simpkin $10.
The 2nds again stood back for a quarter waiting for something to happen. Well, it did. Narrandera slammed on 6 goals to nothing, after that the side outscored the Eagles in the last three quarters to prove they can match it with the top sides. Best players and incentive award winners were Andrew McCashney $30, Dom Norman $20, Christian Files $10, players' player to Craig Bretherton, and the Mug to Ian Geddes with Brent Hathaway getting the coaches award.
Well, it was great to see the Seniors really turn it on against Narrandera doing all those important things that good sides do. With a solid defence and functioning forward line all it need was some prime movers to play well which they did, it's given the side the right preparation for today's game. The incentive awards (sponsored by Ralph Savage and RTA Plumbers) went to Tony Butcher $100, Dean McGowan $50, Owen Gedddes $30, Greg Dreyer $20, with the players' player going to Matt Cox.
This week it is new opposition in Temora, so let's show them what we've got!

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" July 9, 1995 - No. 13

A very bad day at the office is the only way to nicely put our efforts against Temora last Saturday. It is that we thought we were too good after being 20-odd points in front during the second quarter, or that we cannot play football on Saturday, or we were looking forward to the Cocktail Night and not concentrating on the game at hand? Whatever the reason, we certainly need to address the problem and sort it out in the lead up to the finals.
Our Under 18's were the only winning side on the day and full congratulations to them. Best players were Kane Duncan, Brent Harrison, Matt Thompson, Gavin Simpkin and Kevin Collins.
The 2nds had a battle on their hands right from the start and although we lost, we certainly weren't disgraced - the side as a whole could have done better. Award winners were Dominic Norman $30, Andy McCashney $20 and 'Fatty' Hathaway $10, with the Players Player award to Mark Cameron.
The 1sts spent the week improving their approach to the Ganmain game after last week's setback, so an improved effort should result. Best players and award winners were Greg Collins $100, Matt Kenny $50, Tony Butcher $30 and Danny Files $20. Other good players were 'Swampy' Davis, and 'Billy' McGowan with another bag of goals.
The Cocktail Night was an outstanding success for those who attended. Some very sore heads and other assorted stories came out. Possible it would be best to catch up with Matt Kenny and Christian Files, who both had best on ground performances that night to really find out what happened. This week it's our old enemy Ganmain, so let's show them that last week was only a minor hiccup!

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" July 16, 1995 - No. 14

I don't know if we were beaten by Ganmain-GGM or beaten by ourselves but to be up by 35 points at half time and to lose by 11 mean's something. Is it a lack of desire to win or lack of fitness, only time will tell.
The Under 18's met defeat by a quicker Ganmain-GGM. With some players back and more endeavour on the training track hopefully things will improve for the side next week against Turvey Park. Best players were Kevin Collins $20, Glen Vaccari $15, Stuart Davies $10, Adam Sara & Gavin Simpkin also played well.
The 2nds blew an opportunity to bury Ganmain-GGM last week and might have lost the opportunity to decide if we play in the finals or not. To fight back to a commanding situation at three quarter time and let it slip was very disappointing from those who really want to play in the finals. It's now up to the side to get the most out of the season. Best players and incentive award winners were Scott Collis $30, Jason Vaccari $20, and Steve Cochrane $10 with the players' player award to Andrew McCashney and the Mug to Ricky Burdett.
For the Firsts it's back to the planning stage so that we can produce the goods for four quarters not two. Best players and incentive award winners were Matt Olney $100, (in his first senior game and also won the players' player award), Tony Butcher $50, Greg Collins $30 and Danny Files $20. The Netball side went down with the best player being Sue Flagg.
Let's get back on the winning ledger against Turvey!

Notes not available at time of printing.

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" August 6, 1995 - No. 17

Well, it's certainly pleasing to report on three winning footy games and of course a winning netball side. After the Senior side going through the doldrums for the last 3 games the fellas put it all together at long last and played 4 quarters for the entire game which certainly put the smile back on Joker's and Phil's face.
Our Under 18's continued on their winning way and improved as the game progressed. The incentive winners were Glen Vaccari $20, Adrian Sparks $ 20, and Kevin Collins $10. Others good players were Bill Furner and Stuart Davies.
The 2nds got back on the winners list and kept Craig's and the team's aim alive. All the side has to do now is keep winning and putting pressure on the guys in the firsts. Incentive award winners were Richard Telfer $30, Brent Hathaway $20, Steve Cochrane $10, the players' player award to Ron Irvin, Drinkers Mug to Myles Bunn and the coaches award to Brent Harrison for backing up from the Under 18's.
The Seniors went out knowing that another loss would really upset their finals chances, but they finally put the 4 quarters together that's required to win matches. In doing so they have hopefully found the way to continue on their winning way. Incentive award winners and best players were Danny Files $100, and players' player, Jamie Bennett $50, Ricky Burdett $30 and Greg Collins $20. Other good players being Matt Cox & Dean McGowan. Our A Grade Netball lady also had a strong win 19-16 but no real details.
This week it's East Wagga-Kooringal, so let's repeat the first round!

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" August 13, 1995 - No. 18

Well, application, dedication and being part of a united team on the training track certainly plays dividends on the playing field. Now that the business end of the season is fast approaching, how far we go as a club is dependent on everyone having a red hot go on the training track and the results will come as they did last week against EWK.
Under 18's started the day off in the right manner with a good win. The Area News Incentive award winners were Kevin Collins $20, Gavin Simpkin $15 and Dwayne Ashcroft $10, other good players were Glen Vaccari and Steven Serafin.
The 2nds also had a good win despite Fatty's antics during the warmup. Maybe it should be done every game as he certainly cleaned up, the $20 bet and the $30 in the incentive awards, other incentive winners were Richie Telfer $20 and Rod Best $10. Ian Geddes certainly had the ball on a string and was the Players Player award winner while Myles Bunn was the Mugs next victim.
With a full list of players against one of our best sides put on the paddock this year. Incentive award winners were $100 Shane Ruyg, $50 Chris Conlan, $30 Daniel Tuohey, $20 Tony Butcher. Others good players were Phil Rowston, who was the players player & 'Swampy' Davis, Matt Kenny, Greg Collins and Gaby Weetra. This week its Collingullie at the Exies Oval, so let's keep up the good work.

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" August 20, 1995 - No. 19

Our football sides certainly had a day out against Collingullie Ashmont last weekend with all three grades having comfortable wins. With this winning form improving every week and the improved attitude on the training track the rewards are coming and will continue to get greater as the season draws towards the finals.

This week we play Tigers, and it will be a greater indicator of how the sides have improved since we last met.
The Under 18's reversed the first-round loss to Collingullie and came away with a good win. The Area News incentive award winners were Bill Furner $20, Norm Campbell $15 and Adam Sara $10 with Matt Olney and Steve Serafin worth a mention.
The Second Grade have now accomplished one of Jokers aims for the season and that was to win half the number of games played with the possibility of more wins still to come. The incentive award winners were Christian Files $30, Ron Irvin $20 and Malcolm Burke $10, the players player was Richie Telfer with John Warden having to do battle with the Mug.
The Seniors certainly put together last week so it will have put them in the right frame of mind to beat the Tigers this weekend. The incentive award winners were Ricky Burdett $100, Tony Butcher $50, Shane Ruyg $30 and Greg Collins $20 with the players player 'Billy' McGowan with his 11-goal effort. The club would like to congratulate Karen Conlan and Lisa Brand on making the Riverina All Star team.

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" August 27, 1995 - No. 20

According to some longtime supporters of the Swans the three games last Sunday against the Wagga Tigers were the best seen at the Exies for a long time. For those supporters who saw the games the improvement in the players and the side was certainly noticeable.
The hard work on the training track and developing team cohesion will certainly help the Under 18's and Seniors in the fin series. Unfortunately, the 2nds, which have the third best percentage have had many injuries and with promotion of players to the 1sts, the lack of a steady side has cost them a finals chance.
The Under 18's certainly put it together after a bad first quarter to come away with a good win. The incentive award winners were Kevin Collins $20, Steven Serafin $15, Troy Hulm $10, with Norm Campbell, Matt Olney and Gavin Simpkin other good players.
The 2nds certainly had a red hot go only to lose the plot in the last quarter after putting up their best displays all year which again achieved another of the teams' goals for the year. The incentive award went to Ian Geddes $30, Malcolm Burke $20 and Shane Best $10 who certainly proved he still has the golden boot when moved to the forward line. The players' player award went to Richie Telfer and the coaches award to John Warden.
The 1sts went out to prove to themselves and their supporters that they could match the top sides and they achieved that. Our incentive award winners were Chris Conlan $100, Tony Butcher $50, Owen Geddes $30, and Matt Kenny $20. The players' player was Chris Conlan. Other good players were Phil Rowston, who led from the front, Don Moran and Gabby Weetra.

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" September 3, 1995 - No. 21

The Under 18's had something to aim for and that was third position and the double chance, and they achieved that which was a great effort on their part. The boys are playing better football every week and with the double chance they have certainly given themselves a great opportunity in the finals. Our best players were Dwayne Ashcroft, Rodney Savage, M Clarke, Matt Olney, Kevin Collins and Brent Harrison.
The 2nds had a great come-from-behind win to finish the season with 10 wins, 8 losses, which is a vast improvement on last year's effort. After Joker's tongue lashing at half time, the boys responded which certainly had the desired effect. Best players were Ian Geddes in his retirement game with a great 4 goal display, Myles Bunn, Christian Files, Craig Bretherton and 'Dipper' Reid.
A huge letdown was the only way to describe the Seniors effort. Probably a good thing that we got it out of the system. Best players were Mark Cameron, Brett Davis, Phil Rowston, Don Moran and Jamie Bennett.
Our Best & Fairest night will be held on Sunday night at the Exies Oval. Paul Hudson and Raydon Tallis from Hawthorn will be in attendance, so it should be a good night. Best of luck to the Under 18's and the Seniors on Sunday. Both are capable of going all the way!

GRIFFITH NOTES: "Riverina Football Record" September 9, 1995 - No. 22

When you put your best side available on the paddock in an aggressive mood and with the desire to win the hard ball it wasn't surprising that the Firsts won in the way they did against Ganmain-GGM. Bob Spears on the way to the footy said that Griffith had never lost a finals match at Leeton, so that's one record that hasn't been damaged.
The Under 18's played Wagga last week and because of their inability to kick goals and some undisciplined actions lost against the side they had beaten only a couple of weeks ago. The U18's had most of the play in the first half and with only 16 players for most of the second half, but when you consider they had 20 scoring shots to 19 and only to go down by 20 points, they can consider themselves unlucky. This week they have an opportunity to down Ganmain as the Firsts did last week and wouldn't that be nice. The sponsors awards went to Steven Serafin $20, Rodney Savage $15 and Bill Furner $10, while Glen Vaccari, and Kane Duncan were other good players.
It certainly shows that when you have Ganmain and Griffith playing each other the size of the gate is going to be big, so it's going to be interesting to see if the drawing power of Griffith and Temora at Narrandera will be bigger than Turvey Park & Wagga in Wagga.
The Seniors have to repeat the dose this weekend against Temora and we will be one step closer to the grand final, which I'm sure they can do. Last week the incentive award winners were Greg Collins $50, Danny Files $50, Jamie Bennett $30 and Tony Butcher $20, with Brett Davis (B.O.G.), Don Moran, Phil Rowston, Shane Ruyg were other good players.
Congratulations to Phil Rowston, Richie Telfer and Matthew Olney on being our Best & Fairest winners on Sunday night. Special thanks to Paul Habel on getting Paul Hudson and Rayden Tallis up for the development work they did last week as well.

Return to 1995 Season
