Numurkah and Muckatah remain on top after hard fought victories on Saturday. Muckatah edged Numurkah by eight points in a stirring final quarter while Cobram’s lack of form and Cobram errors hindered their effort. Finley-Knight and Holt starred for Finley with key goals. Cobram faced Barooga and Jerilderie, Barmah, and Finley all produced notable performances in the Cobram district football round.
Cobram and Numurkah played a tight game with Cobram scoring early and late goals. Cobram trailed 6 points to 4 after the first quarter before half time, and trailed 5 goals 11 to Cobram 4 goals 3 at the final whistle as Numurkah pressed with solid defence from Quinane and Toohey while Cobram relied on Staggard Ralston and Goulding to spark attacks.
Finley and Muckatah battled with the visitors rallying in the final quarter to seize victory. Finley led early, but consistent attacks by Muckatah, bolstered by defensive stands from Dwyer and Par nell, produced a string of scores including Holt and Parnell as the clock tightened. The half-time gap narrowed and Muckatah pressed forward, scoring several goals while Finley fought back but could not recover the early deficit.
J Ryan and Miss N Thorpe won the mixed foursomes with 57 1-3, followed by M Stokes and Mrs J Bourchier at 60, and other pairs close behind. Sunday's event hosts an 18 holes stroke for Mr A O'Brien's trophy with opponents drawn.
The document lists golf etiquette: keep clear of the stroke zone move before opponent tees, wait for front matches, leave putting green after results, signal passing players, replace turf, and avoid interruption while searching for lost balls. It also reports Sundar final judging for a troop event with Tocumwal winning the Anphy, a large turnout, and a Tocumwal dinner that night.
The Tocumwal Troop of the 20th Light Horse Regiment outscored Warrnambool in final tests to represent Victoria in the Hutton Trophy competition. The win marks Tocumwal as the most efficient Light Horse Troop in Victoria and neighboring districts for the 1936-37 military year.
The Riverina Championships will be played at Corona links on July 21 to 24. Riverina secretary G. E. Dunstan recently visited Corowa and discussed the tournament. Enthusiasm at the border town was high as Corowa hosts, drawing many Victorians and easing travel for members. The Corowa committee plans to spend £100 on clubhouse improvements for visitors and a similar amount on course improvements.
