Well done to all Henty Public School’s participants in the Southern Riverina Cross Country with many setting personal best times. The following will proceed to Riverina Cross Country in Gundagai in June: Heidi Martin, Angus White, Molly Murray and Halle Corrigan, in addition to Samuel Male and Nicholas Newton. Nick and Samuel have returned from the tennis State Carnival at Tweed Heads. The Riverina combined boys/girls placed 9th out of 13 teams. Nick said it was a big step up from Riverina to State level while Samuel recommended the experience.

Sad news to hear of the passing of Yerong Creek’s Phantom. Alan will be missed by many people in Yerong Creek and Henty and Southern Australia where he was a legend of many shearing sheds.
