🏐 Coach, players hit milestones in River Murray netball
A long-time servant of Tailem Bend Netball Club has hit a milestone over the weekend.
Leonne Capes coached her 500th game for the club on Saturday.
She wasn’t the only one celebrating a milestone, either – Tailem’s Emily Edwards played her 200th senior game, while Jervois’ Jo Flett had her 250th.
Round 11 results
- Tailem Bend defeated Southern Mallee 53-44
- Mannum defeated Coorong 64-28
- Mypolonga defeated Imperials 46-39
- Mallee defeated Jervois 59-50
🔫 Nobby nails it at Murray Bridge Rifle Club
Murray Bridge Rifle Club has kicked off its 2023-24 championship year with a shoot from 300 metres.
Fresh but relatively steady conditions, with a gentle wind from the right, allowed for some good scores to be shot, especially in F-class, where Ian “Nobby” Elston had a fantastic day out.
He scored a possible of 60.05 in his round, followed it up with a 59.03 in his second to top score for the day with 119.08, and was easily the top off-rifle in F-open.

The championships will be held at Warwick Stadium, in Perth’s northern suburbs.
