Here we go again
Another week flies by as we move into December and the start of all those Christmas parties. I suggest to the authorities that be, not to do a liver quality test on the wider community until about February as the results post December might lead to a banning of alcohol sales. These parties are just too much fun and people will use any excuse to have one and here is an example, I live in a street called Kathryn and have been invited to the Witt St street party some three streets away. Bizarre!

Be my Guest
Leading Marnoo West farmer John “Be my” Guest held a party of sorts over the weekend, now reports are scratchy as to what type of party it was but some high profile native were there. I’m told one bloke turned up and thought he must have had the wrong night, it wasn’t until he heard the sound of bongo drums coming from an area near the sheep yards that he new he was in the right place. More info may surface this week.

A good win
The MCC recorded its second win for the season beating Jeffcott at Jeffcott. A strong batting performance where most people got some runs was backed up by and equally strong bowling effort which combines raw youth with calculated experience. One such “experienced” bowler Ben “Glendemar” Duxson won’t forget the day having being hit for 6 three times in three balls. Next week Marnoo takes on Charlton at the MCG and the rumour is that a couple of former players are returning to have a game with the black and gold.

Upstart up for a play
Andrew “Upstart” Nisbet was in my neck of the woods over the weekend with the Rodwells Christmas. True to form Nisbet made a long weekend of it taking in the local attractions and a few rounds of golf to boot. I actually caught up with him at Burkes hotel on Saturday afternoon where himself and a few likely lads looked as though they were nestling in for the day.

Bowls becomes addictive
The Yarrawonga Mulwala cricket club held it social bowls day last Sunday and I am safe to say that there is a life after cricket. All that participated in the pairs tournament had an absolute ball and I can now see why bowls become addictive to some. Just take away a few of the old fuddy duddies and bowls would attractive a much younger audience.
