Cooma Races forge ahead
A big crowd disregarded the threat of rain to enjoy some very exciting racing at the Sundowners Cup and Cooma Cup race meeting on Saturday.
After 100.5 millimetres of rain having fallen on the track in the preceding week, it was a track gallop at 6.15am on race morning that determined that the track was safe to race on.
With the track being rated a Heavy 9 (the heaviest being a Heavy 10), the committee was relieved that the work they had done in preparation for the meeting was not in vain.
Region’s bowlers in fine form
COOMA, Jindabyne, and Adaminaby were each represented well when region nine travelled to Tuross Head in mid-November for the playoffs.

Elton wins Bombala stableford
By BOMBALA GOLF CLUB
WEDNESDAY November 29 was not a day for golf with heavy rain falling all day. Golfers didn’t complain as it was needed.
On Saturday, members played a Stableford for Club trophy. The competition was reduced to a nine hole competition when there was a huge storm with water running everywhere.
It has been a different ball game out on the course, very wet again with the ball stopping where it landed. More work to be done on the greens, a nightmare for greenskeeper Ray.
The winner of the nine holes was Wayne Elton on 18 points from Glen Hampshire 15 points. Golden shot won by Brendan Weston.
On a much better day there was a good field playing a Par for Club trophy. The winner Steve Tatham. Steve didn’t have a good front nine with a score of – 5 but turned it around with plus 5 on the back nine. Steve won on a countback from Liam Beazley square.
Ball winners Steve, Liam, Wayne Elton – 4 and Glen Hampshire – 4 on countback from Neil Thompson – 4.
Golden shot went to Nick Ryan.
