Rodeo bar help needed
To help the 20th Weipa Rodeo go off without a hitch, the event committee is calling on enthusiastic community members aged 18 or over to volunteer for a stint in front of the eskies at the Bucking Bull Bar on 22-23 August.
Three-hour shifts are available on the Friday and Saturday, with volunteers scoring a knock-off drink, VIP early access to rodeo merchandise, camp chair dibs around the arena and free entry to one of Weipa’s biggest annual celebrations.
To lend a hand for the milestone event, go to the Weipa Rodeo Facebook page.
Wackers brag for Richardson
Wackers were met with hot mid-July conditions when a field of 12 teed off at Carpentaria Golf Club on 16 July.
With minimal wind and an apparent temperature still over 30 degrees at 4:30pm, many in the field delivered some sub-optimal performances as they attempted to keep hydrated.
Rob Richardson returned to the clubhouse with 48 off the stick for a winning nett 30.5, with Chelsie Buckley (54/34) picking up the runner-up cash for the week.
The pin prize on the 7th hole was never in danger, while Mick Cerneka impressed off the tee to bag the prize on offer on the 9th.
Eddy Tiemens collected the Bradman’s for the round.
Weipa touch results
The on-field action continued after the holiday break when teams squared off in round 10 of the Weipa Touch Association season on 16 July.
Can’t Touch This notched up a big 13-3 win against Scrambled Legs, with Pisswrecks toppling Res Strong in a 15-2 result.
Spartans kept Weipa Weapons scoreless as they crossed for 19 tries in a one-sided affair, while Top End Taggers (15-nil) also stopped Lacking Stamina from finding the chalk line.
In a week of big scorelines, The OGs had a 22-5 victory over Cape Candies.
Cheers for Beers and Villains played the closest match of the round, with the former claiming a 4-3 win.
