Eliza Weir impressed at the barefoot water skiing national championships, finishing third overall, a brilliant achievement and a proud moment for the Deni Boat Club.
The Deni Netball Association 15s Rep team battled their way into the semi‑finals at the Shepparton tournament, falling just three goals short of a grand final berth after a determined second‑half fightback.
Connor ‘CJ’ Wilson made a statement on his return to national competition, winning the under-18s shot put title with an opening throw of 17.26m, a commanding performance and a major milestone after last year’s injury setback.
In Picola League footy, the Rovers claimed this year’s Warner Tasker Cup, lifting in the second half to secure the win in front of a strong crowd.
Tyson Willis was awarded the Warner Tasker Best Player Medallion.
Picola and Murray League football and netball results are in today’s PT Sport, and we’ll aim to bring you full stories on the other achievements in future editions.
School zones return
School zones were back in force across NSW yesterday, Monday, April 20, as the new school term officially began.
While many schools in the Deniliquin area are yet to welcome students back, with them using staff development days to start the term, motorists are reminded that 40km/h school zone limits still apply wherever signs indicate.
Drivers are urged to take extra care around school precincts, with enforcement now active for the term.
Ideal conditions expected this Anzac Day
Racegoers can expect ideal conditions for the Anzac Day races this Saturday, with a mostly sunny forecast and temperatures ranging from 11°C to 27°C.
