It was an interesting year for the Broulee Runners. Despite the fires, flood and pandemic we were able to continue with 31 virtual events and 21 actual events. Currently we are only racing over the five kilometres to avoid over-crowding. This is important during this holiday period when larger numbers make it difficult to maintain social distancing.
This evening we had 82 starters with 66 actual runners in the 5 kilometres and the rest virtual runners. We welcomed James, Evan, and Caroline Minto to their first run with the group. Also, Ashley and Simon Clarke, Kate Crisp, Jessica Kennedy and Dom Rix made their first appearance. There we plenty of personal beat times and these were Mollie Kennedy, Anna Johnson, Myles and Rowan Grant, Gabriel Kennedy, Joe and Jo Whithear, Emma Burgess, Robyn Smith, and Niamh and Aislinn Scahill. The star of the night was Rosie McPartland who recorded her 30th run and received her commemorative shirt.

Cricket
Over 60's Veterans cricket
The upcoming annual cricket match between the South Coast Veterans side and ACT Over 60's is on Thursday, February at Hanging Rock starting at 10.30am.
This match has two purposes: to acknowledge the contributions made by two stalwarts for each side-Ron Axelby, the first Australian captain in 2011 and our own Peter Miers, now deceased, who was a leading figure in cricket on the coast and was an active campaigner against a charcoal plant in Mogo many years ago. Secondly, to provide an opportunity for older men to improve both physical health. The fraternity of cricket is a wonderful experience for all.
This is the first time Eurobodalla been able to field a team made up almost exclusively of players of 60 years of ago or more. In fact, the oldest player is mid 70s. More games are envisioned. It is a 40 over per side match with batsmen being able to retire after 30 not out and recycle if overs permit.
The standard of cricket will surprise spectators as many have played either first grade or have represented state/territory or even Australia at veterans level. This is also a call out for senior men who would like to play again, to sign up. Contact Paul Cullen on 0499 415 867 for more details.

With many players away preparing for Christmas, a smaller than usual field of 56 players registered for the postponed Tuross Head Veterans Golf 4BBB Stableford event on Wednesday, December 23. The course was playing well following recent rains and this was reflected in the high scores recorded.
Winners on the day were Kevin Dukes combining with John Cox with a fine team score of 27 points. They were followed home by brothers Peter and Paul Coffey on 26, husband and wife Ray and Margaret Downey with 25 on count back, and finally Des Jackson and David Williams also on 25. Minor prizes were won by Dorothy and Blaise Madden on 24, Derek Hoare and Peg Nevett on 23, and five teams on 22, these being Steve Gardner and Warren Hodder, Neil Mather and Gail Rogers, David Williams and Allen Lee, Shirley and Ted Quinlan, and lastly Neal Watson and Greg Smith.
The Bradman award was a tightly contested affair with the result going to Ann and Terry Challender on count back.
