The good news was the 17’s squared the ledger with a close win over the Giants and under 14 Zain Clark was judged best on ground despite being in the losing side – a testament to how well he played on the weekend.

Diamond Celebration For Ladies’ Bowls
Celebrating 70 years! The Central Western District Women’s Bowling Association recently gathered to mark the grand occasion at the Canowindra Bowling Club.
The Central Western District Women’s Bowling Association celebrated their 70th anniversary, with 18 ends of Triples Bowls and a special luncheon at the Canowindra Bowling Club on Tuesday, 18th July.
Both events of the day were attended by official guests including Sandra Jowett, Director of Bowls NSW, Roger Traves, President of the Canowindra Club, and A. Whyburn, President of the Canowindra Men’s Bowling Association. The history of the Central Western Women’s Bowling Association from 1953 until 2023 was presented to the visitors in addition to the cake cutting.
The Central Western District Women’s Bowling Association held its first official meeting on 9th October 1953, which was attended by Canowindra, Eugowra, Forbes, and Parkes clubs, with Cudal an apology for the first event. Gwynn Rice was appointed the first President at that meeting. The association started playing Pennants a month later.
In 1955, the assocaition elected a President, three Vice-Presidents, Secretary, and Treasurer, along with three delegates to represent each of the Clubs. Cudal and Manildra merged in 1957, followed by the Forbes, Parkes and Parkes Railway Clubs in 1958. Woodstock joined the association in 1959. In 1970, Gooloogong joined, bringing the District’s total number of Clubs to 12.
One of the favourite competitions held for the association is the Taber Shield. An inter -district competition that is contested annually in early September in Stella Taber’shonor. Stella Taber served as District President from 1956 to 1963 and again from1964 to 1967.
The District currently has nine Clubs: Cowra, Canowindra, Forbes, Parkes, Manildra, Molong, Millthorpe, Orange City, and Orange Ex-Services.
The Central Western Districts Women’s Bowling association is a very important part of our community, and we wish them great success for a further 70 years.
The Future Looks Bright For Forbes/ Parkes Junior AFL
Best on ground was awarded to Logan McMahon (Pictured) who was everywhere up front, Cayden Metzeling again proved his worth in front of goal; Max Ridge and Jackson Beaudin were outstanding in the ruck and midfield while defensive duo Zain Clark and Romulus Milsom were immovable.
Last weekend, Forbes was host to four games of junior AFL beginning with the debut of the Forbes/Parkes under 10’s v Dubbo. For many of the kids this was their first foray into competition footy but that was not a worry as the under 10’s put all their skills learned at Auskick into action and came away with the win over a tenacious Dubbo outfit.
The Orange/Forbes under 14’s continued their winning run with a gritty 3.4 (22) to 1.6 (12) win against Dubbo. This was the Swamp Tigers first win over Dubbo in 2023.
Dubbo took the early lead when James Wonderly kicked the first goal after some good lead up work from the midfield. Orange/Forbes countered Dubbo but were only able to kick two behinds to trail by four at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter the Swamp Tigers were able to assert some control, Cayden Metzeling kicked the first goal to take the lead. Dubbo pressured the Swamp Tigers goal, but resolute defence saw Dubbo only able to kick one behind. Logan McMahon kicked his first ever goal just before the halftime, Swamp Tigers took a 7-point lead at half time.
The third quarter was tight and both teams scored twice. Metzeling kicked his second goal of the day to increase the lead to 12 points at three quarter time. The fourth term was as equally as tight as the third, but it was Dubbo who created more opportunities; however accuracy proved the problem for both teams and both only managed to score behinds. Orange/Forbes held on for the win.
Final Round Of Handiskins For 2023
The splendor that is Parkes Golf Course.
There were 74 players at the PGC on Saturday to play a two ball stableford multiplier with an Individual in conjunction, sponsored by Signs by Greg.

Winners in the pair event, Tim Baker and Garry Paddison, returned a good score of 61 points. Followed in by Richard Hamilton and John Fowler. Mick Smith and Wayne Powter and Jake Thompson and Toby Tanks also fared well in the teams event.
In the Individual stakes Jack Elliott with 69 off the stick returning 39 points and being the clear winner. Garry Paddison was next in with a 37 haul. The next four in on 35, being Nym Dziuba, Jake Thompson, Simon Hogan and Joe Van Opynen.
Six ladies played, with Margaret Hogan’s 30 points being best on the day.
In the Handiskins event, Garry Paddison won with 37 points, edging his way into the final with Jake Thompson, Matthew Knighton, David Stevenson. These players will play off for an $800 pot of club vouchers later in the year and it will be very competitive with past events showing a slight edge to the longer handicappers.
The Nearest The Pins on Saturday were The Idlerite 1st by David Ford at 589cm, the Harvey Norman 11th by Ian Phipps at 400cm and the 18th by Lindsay Elliott at 33cm. The 11th hole was won by Ian Phipps at 400cm this week.
