Liz Aces the World

Mulgoa Warradale Gazette — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 00:43:08 +0000

The International Tennis Federation 2010 World Championships were held in Antalya, Turkey during October and local Mulgoa resident Liz Allan did us proud winning the World Super Seniors Women’s Individual Championship.

Liz has won the over 60s individual women’s championship three times previously and been runner up many times.

She also competed in the doubles competition but despite having won this event for the past 17 years, she and her partner had to settle for runners up.

Liz is currently ranked 24 in the world. This was her 20th time entering the event.

The ITF World Super Seniors tournament is the biggest event for seniors in the world.

Liz coaches part time at Mulgoa tennis court and can be contacted on 0417 487 799 for enquiries.

Congratulations Liz!

Warradale Little Athletics Club Celebrate with IGA

Mulgoa Warradale Gazette — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 06:52:28 +0000

Warradale Little Athletics Club recently took out 1st place in the Annual IGA Docket Competition for the second year in a row with over $1 million worth of receipts collected. Club President Barry Garment was all smiles as the award was presented at the recent Little A’s Annual State Conference. He said, “As a small club with only around 160 athletes each season it is very hard to raise significant funds for all the different needs within the centre each year. This IGA award is a way in which everyone within the club and their families can contribute in a meaningful way. We are a small community based club made up from half a dozen villages in the area and we receive fantastic support from the two IGA stores in our local area – Silverdale IGA, run by Jane, Maryanne & Sylvana are the local supermarket who service the Warragamba & Silverdale communities and Luddenham Super IGA, run by Lucy & Frank who service the villages at the foot of the hill including Luddenham, Mulgoa & Wallacia.”
Frank, who runs the Luddenham store was especially pleased as his other IGA store were instrumental in helping Eschol Park Little A’s to pick up 2nd prize in the same competition.
The Warradale Club has been improving the ground in a major way this year, together with help from the local football club – Warragamba Wombats. Warradale’s win of $3,500 in the IGA competition has been used towards the installation of two brand new discus cages and three new long jump pits and run ups whilst the football club have added a new Junior field for their younger members. All this work is done by club volunteers and the support of local businesses such as the IGA stores is essential and very much appreciated by all the local clubs.
Warradale Little Athletics Club has just started their new season and is still taking registrations every Friday night from 5.30 pm onwards at the ground at Warragamba Oval, Warragamba. Ages 3 to 16 years. Enquiries to Sam Stein 0411 047 080.

Wallacia Ladies Bowl Over Competition

Mulgoa Warradale Gazette — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 06:46:11 +0000

Tanya Kelly, Kerrie Quinn and Tracy Smith from Wallacia Bowling Club recently entered the District Triples Championships for “a bit of fun” and ended up winning the event.
They then progressed to the Zone Championships which they also won. From there the ladies went on to represent the Zone at the State Championships at Forster but were unfortunately defeated.
This was a great achievement for these girls, two of whom have only been bowling for a couple of years.
The average age of the team was less than 40 which goes to show that you don’t have to wait to retire to play bowls.
On that note Wallacia Womens Bowling Club is urgently seeking new bowling members.
Our play days are Thursdays from 10am and Saturdays from 1pm (for those ladies who work during the week) but we also have Social Mixed Bowls on Friday afternoons at 5pm (Daylight Saving Time) and Sunday Mornings at 9am (includes breakfast.)
If you are aged between 14 and 114 and think you may be interested in playing please come along to an
Open Day – 12 noon
Saturday 20 November
We will introduce you to the concept of bowls and give you some practical instruction in the game. You don’t need any special gear on the day. You can play barefoot and we will provide you with bowls.
If you are interested please call the Wallacia Bowling Club on 4773 8096 to register so that we have a general idea of numbers. If you would like any further information please call Sue Ashurst on 0419012915.
Wallacia Bowling Club is at 1 Roma Ave, Wallacia.
