MANY older readers will have memories (either fond or otherwise) of a hit song from 1988 by UK artist Yazz, ‘The only way is up’, which may well be the theme song for the Hamilton Kangaroos as they battle ladder leaders South Warrnambool at Melville Oval today.

WITH the Melville Oval redevelopment still yet to get underway, safety concerns have forced the Hamilton Kangaroos to move netball fixtures to Pedrina Park immediately.

IN a move which is set to have major implications at Portland Football Netball Club, senior football coach Jarrod Holt and club president Troy Bannam have both announced their decisions to step down from their positions at the end of the 2023 Hampden League season.

IT was a bottom two battle that went right down to the wire, as the Hamilton Kangaroos hosted Port Fairy at Melville in a Hampden Football Netball League game which delivered for the crowd.

THE Hamilton Kangaroos continued their unbeaten start to the season, easily accounting for Port Fairy in the Open clash at Melville Oval, 79-26, on Saturday.

PORTLAND’S Hampden League senior footballers made the trek to Mortlake to take on Terang-Mortlake Bloods on Saturday evening, with the Tigers eventually going down 12.10 (82) to 3.3 (21).

HISTORY was made at Melville Oval, as Port Fairy forward, Jason Rowan, became just the second player to kick 1000 Hampden Football Netball League goals on Saturday.

HAMILTON Kangaroos cannot take Port Fairy lightly today when the two teams meet at Melville Oval in round four of the Hampden Football Netball League (HFNL).

PORTLAND earned themselves a hard-fought and much-needed victory on Tuesday in their Anzac Day clash with Hamilton Kangaroos in the Hampden Football League, with the final scores 9.6 (60) to 4.15 (39) on the Tigers’ home deck of Hanlon Park.

PORTLAND and Hamilton will take to Hanlon Park today for the annual Anzac Day clash, in what senior coach Jarrod Holt said is their “biggest game of the year.”
