Archer (7) led the charge in the junior novice section, winning every event to achieve a perfect score of 42 points. Mia Carr matched this feat in the under-10s, while Lotti Duffy impressed in the 10–13 category, also securing maximum points at the event held on Saturday, 10 May. Layne Biasi topped the 13–15 category, with Krystal Taylor finishing close behind. In the open division, Katie-Anne McAuliffe, visiting from Woodstock, led the field with strong performances across multiple events.
More than $200 was raised through a raffle on the day to support flood victims. Dicky Devitt from Long Pocket won the top prize—a meat tray donated by Bullock Creek Beef, who also contributed all the steaks and sausages sold at the canteen.
The next event is scheduled to take place at Long Pocket on Saturday, 14 June.
