Cobram suffered a loss to Tocumwal in a tightly contested match. Frank Davies showcased versatility across positions while John Hamilton debuted in senior football with fearless play. Tocumwal led at half time and extended their advantage in the second half as Cobram fought back with several scoring moments.
Tocumwal dominated the wings and midfield to beat Cobram 16.15 to 12.13 in a tense final round. Key scorers included Sandy with six goals for Tocumwal and Koopman with five for Cobram, while Haley and Davies starred for Tocumwal with strong center play.
Cobram, missing coach Clive Smith, fought Barooga with a stubborn wind and late pressure. Barooga led at half and again in the third, but Cobram’s late surge, led by Yates and Hicks, narrowed the margin before final scores read Barooga 9.13 Cobram 5.7.
Cobram will travel to Jerilderie next Sunday for the last home and away round and may meet the same team at Berrigan in the second semi final. Frankie Danaher of Wanghua won the ladies committee prize and praised Cobram as among the best places this side of the rabbit-proof fence. The ladies report strong attendances and thank supporters, with one more appeal for the annual ball supper. Alan Edine won Cobram’s best and fairest with 16 points, followed by A Jeans and R Brown on 15. Leading scorers include C Limbrick Nath 11 and V Davies 8 among others. Timekeeper and scoreboard duties will be handled by A Henderson and Soule respectively. The piece notes a Courier report and the aim for an honest football account.
