The Swampers have now won the Yalgoo Shield 23 times including three in the last four years.

They claimed their first minor premiership back in 1938.

SWAMP have qualified for the grand final and now wait to find out their opponents between Uralla and Kentucky who play an elimination final in a fortnights time as there is no cricket this weekend due to the Walcha Races.

KENTUCKY received an armchair ride into the elimination final after Colts, unfortunately, had to forfeit to them last Saturday due to a lack of players.

It was the third time this season Colts were unable to field a team.

The final point score for 2019/20 was Round Swamp on 64 points followed by their arch-rivals and runners up Uralla on 60, Kentucky 34 and Colts 30.

ROUND SWAMP all-rounder Luke Wellings was voted Man of the Match after he delivered a five-star performance with both bat and ball last Saturday.

The bloke some call Meggsy notched 41 runs with the willow before sending down 9.1 overs to snare 5/21.

FLIPPERS' club president Angus Warden and his daughter Jemma recently competed in the Palm Beach to Whale Beach open swim where 13-year-old Jemma finished third in the u/19 one-kilometre event while Gus came 25th in his division over three kilometres.

A COUPLE of Walcha boys Zac Warden and Jock Fenwicke are members of the Shore School year 9 Quads Rowing Team that remain undefeated this year.

Their good mates Simon Nivison and Lachie Costello row for Kings School in the same age division.

LOCAL Sandgreen Specialist John Mann pulled off a great escape last Sunday when he played Owen Presnell in matchplay golf.

After six holes the 'Omen' had opened up a five-hole lead before 'Ming' fought back to win 1 up.

THE WALCHA Flippers recommenced their 2019/20 season with a bang last Tuesday when they recorded no less than 95 PBs despite less than half of the members attending the first swim meeting of the year.

The overall PB tally this season has now climbed to a staggering 301.

SWIMMER of the Week was split between Cooper Broadbent and Blaine Cooney.

SWIMMING in the Tadpoles division 'Coop' smashed his Butterfly time by over 34 seconds, his freestyle time by over 24 seconds and his Breastroke time by over 20 seconds and swum backstroke for the first time - all over 25 metres in distance - way to go Coop.

THE 39-year-old 8 years and under boys 50-metre record is under threat after Blaine Cooney went within 0.62 of a second of the time James Harwood set back in 1981.

What's more, James has been giving Blaine tips on how to go that little bit faster.

THE ANNUAL James Harwood swim clinic was held Sunday morning where 43 Flippers were put through their paces for three hours.

The majority of youngsters taking part lasted the journey in the pool and then received some valuable advice on preparing for carnival days.
