The Cricket day 6th May 2007
The fisho's V the rest of the world
It is a great family day down at Prince Edward Park it starts about 10.30am and finishes when it is too dark and sometime's later , Bruce Powney turns up early to mow the pitch, Rallies the rest of the world team together and that usually consists of any fisho who hasn't weighed a fish in by the date of the Cricket day, it's one day of the year that Bruce thinks he has a lot of friend's, "were only kidding Bruce".
The fisho's put on a BBQ for all and soft drinks for the junior's, Mum's Dad's and Kid's all have a go at batting and bowling and all have a good laugh, we thank Les Stewart super veteran of the fishing club for umpiring the game you won't get him Bruce, by the way Les you aren't suppose to try to call the game off because Happy hour has started at the RSL club.
It's a day you have to be at to appreciate it's such a laugh.
A special mention to Bruce Stone with his helmet and goggles, I am still unsure what he looked like and I only had one beer, it was a great day.
Woronora Fishing Club V Narellan Fishing Club 29-4-2007
The 29th April was round one of the annual Wonnie v Narellan charter boat comp out of Wollongong the weather was good for fishing slight breeze from the southwest, the Team of five from Woronora were; Harry Thompson 6.5kg 87.5pts, Ray Stares 5.6kg 59.8pts, Barry Johnston 2.54kg 29.3pts, Daniel Stares 7.3kg 91.9pts, Doug Lambert was the Wonnie's secret weapon if needed he would fish but they were only fishing against Narellan so Doug had a nice day out on the boat sun baking.
The Team of five from Narellan were; George 5.7 62.1pts, Paul 4.2kg 49.8pts, Garry 2.5kg 29.55pts, Ted 3.6kg 37.8pts, Bill 1.8kg 24.5pts A variety of fish Snapper, Morwong, Leatherjacket, Perch, Tailor. At the end of the day It was Woronora with 21.9kg 268.5pts Narellan with 17.8kg 203.75pts next round will be held on the 9th September 2007, maybe we could try another point scoring system to give Narellan a chance, or only a suggestion Wonnie puts three Junior's against the Narellan team of five.

We have permission from most of our members now to start photographing our Junior's with fish again, as the law's are we do need parent's consent for this if you see me or anyone taking photos of your children, at the weigh in and you don't want them on our Web site Please let me know on the day, John Hewitt Vice President of the Woronora River RSL Fishing Club. our Web site isn't restricted to Woronora , New South Wale or Australia it can and has been accessed in other Countries if you have any objections please let me know.
