Friday chook run

Twenty-seven players arrived for the weekly top-up-the-freezer chook run.

Dirranbandi Open Tournament

An overcast sky greeted the 36 men and 22 ladies arriving for the Dirranbandi Open

It was a prelude to the day with heavy showers starting during the first nine.

This eventually caused the cancellation of the event with the committee then having to work on the results.

The only Lightning Ridge players to bring home a trophy were Stacey Reynolds, who grabbed with both hands, the 9am gross trophy and Col Cooper who won the other trophy. Col had worked really hard in the rain to secure the Bradman's prize.
