There was no real reason to include this photo of Sam Godfrey-Roberts, who is currently second in the Cooktown Golf Club 2025 B-grade Club Championships after carding an 89 on 10 May, but he doesn’t get to see himself in the paper much anymore, so we thought we’d give him a bit of a confidence boost.

Cooktown championships underway
There were some interesting scores posted when players contested round one of the Cooktown Golf Club 2025 Club Championships on 10 May.
In A-grade, Brent “Just Wait Until the Open” Hetaraka carded an 80 in the best-two-of-three championships, and will be looking for an improved effort during the next round.
Cam Venables leads B-grade on 86, with Sam Godfrey-Roberts in second after recording an 89.
In C-grade, Wal Welsh returned to the clubhouse with an 84, with Paul Sperring trailing with an opening round of 91.
Tanya Stewart is proudly flying the flag in the Ladies division.
Can’t touch Villains
Villains continue to be just that to other teams in the 2025 Weipa Touch Association competition after recording another big win on 7 May.
Can’t Touch This could not touch their ladder-leading opponents in their round two clash, with Villains taking the game 20-2.
Cheers for Beers defeated Res Strong 5-1, The OGs toppled the Top End Taggers 11-4, while the Weipa Weapons had a solid 12-6 win against Scrambled Legs.
Pisswrecks and Untouchables had a close encounter, with the former taking the points 4-2, and the Cape Candies recorded an 8-6 win over Spartans in another tight tussle.
Dawe takes Wackers crown
Richard Dawe was the strongest performer in a field of 17 at Carpentaria Golf Club on 7 May.
Dawe returned to the clubhouse with personal best performance of 42 off the stick for nett 29.5, which was enough for him to take Wackers bragging rights for the week.
Rob McVean (41/30.5) was runner-up.
Scott Andrews (7th) and Viv Chan (9th) took home the pin prizes, with Chelsie Buckley the Wednesday Bradman’s recipient.
