Congratulations to Mathoura Bowling Club on the success of its Division 1 pennant side in the semi-final last week.

The team played against Moama at the Deniliquin Bowling Club and claimed victory by four points.

The victory was significant, giving the club its first Division 1 grand final appearance in the club’s history.

The locals will come up against reigning premiers Tongala in tomorrow’s clash being played at Echuca Bowls Club.

Locals are being encouraged to go down to watch the game and give the team plenty of support.

It may be best to check the starting time with the club directly, as the impending heat could prompt a change.

When it comes to sports, students from Mathoura Public School are seldom out of the limelight.

Sophie Eddy and Jonothan Moorse have both gained selection in regional trials.

Sophie will contest the Riverina Girls Football (soccer) trials, while Jono has qualified for the Riverina AFL trials.
