"Skipton Notes" from the "Lexton Plains Footballer" May 17th 2003
Round 3, May 10th 2003, Skipton versus Natte-Bealiba @ Skipton
Today we meet long-time rivals Rokewood-Corindhap and some exciting games are assured. It also sees the introduction of the Real Estate Home Loans trophy for competition between the two Clubs. A point will be awarded for each win in both the football and netball which means that all teams will play some part in determining the final winner.
Last Saturday's games against Natte Bealiba resulted in wins for all our teams except the Under 17 netballers who are gradually getting better numbers, which will make their task a lot easier.
Incentive award winners in the Senior football were Rod Kennedy, Nick Watson, Daniel Rowe, Kris Johnson and Tony Boyer. Other award winners were Tim McKay (Peter Lalor) for his 10 goals, Rod Kennedy (21 Arms), Josh Milenkovic (Ballarat Barber Shop), Craig Kennedy (Pinky’s Pizza) and Bill Molloy received a special encouragement award for his game.
In the Reserves the award winners were John Gardner (Golden Age Hotel), Anthony Bibby (21 Arms), Joseph Kavanagh (Skipton Hotel) and Luke Crow (Pinky’s Pizza).
In the Junior game in which the boys had another very good win the award winners were Marvin Chew (Pinky’s Pizza), Shane McIntyre (McDonalds) and Leo Nunn (Ballarat Barber Shop)
In the Senior netball the award winners were Fiona Fletcher (Burrumbeet Hotel), Christie Fletcher (Golden Age Hotel) and Kate Morcombe (21 Arms).

In today’s Senior netball game Trudy Boyer reached the milestone of 200 Club games which includes 116 in the Juniors and 84 in the Seniors. She has given outstanding service to our Club as a player, coach and as an administrator over many years. Congratulations and well done Trudy !
A great night was had by all at last Saturday’s Calcutta with some solid bidding the highlight. Special thanks to the auctioneer Graeme Layley who displayed a hidden talent in filling the role
After spending time in the Rokewood rooms after the game we are heading to the Crown Hotel at Buninyong for a meal and then onto the Peter Lalor where Matthew Gill will be our host. Come along and enjoy the night. See you there!
