Kalyn Ponga has declared there are more chapters to write in Newcastle’s revival story as the 2025 wooden spooners aim to upset Penrith to make the grand final. After Sunday’s drama-charged 12-10 win over the Warriors in Auckland, Newcastle’s Cinderella finals run will extend into another week with Justin Holbrook’s set to face Penrith in […]
Paul Blanch and Doug Blanch.
THE “Hole-in-One Club” eludes even the best of golfers so it must have come as a form of relief as much as joy when, on this past Saturday 19 September, Paul Blanch hit his tee shot on the 15th hole into the cup. With six club championships under his belt, he would have been forgiven […]

WITH the utmost respect to the quality of Wingham Warriors, Gloucester Scorpions under-14s travelled to Wingham last Saturday for their third encounter of the season. Having already gone down to Wingham twice – 1–0 and 2–0 – the Scorpions knew they were in for another tough battle. Changes were needed, with Peter Clinch backing up […]
Action from the under-14s clash between the Warriors and the Scorpions.
THE Gloucester under-14s travelled to Wingham last Saturday to take on the Warriors on their own turf. Coming off a 1–0 loss to Wingham just three weeks earlier, both teams knew this would be another big test with the finals fast approaching. Wingham’s backline once again proved why they are arguably one of the best […]
IT WAS another fine sunny day on Sunday 26 July for the Gloucester Golf Club Mixed Foursomes Championships duly won by Rhonda Nightingale and Nathan McInnes. Foursomes is a 27-hole stroke event in which partners take alternate shots, and, as such, not every golfer’s “cup of tea”. This did not prevent a fair-sized field from […]
