The 67th Narrandera Rodeo, one of the longest professional rodeos in NSW, is on for young and old at Narrandera Rodeo Arena, Racecourse Road on Saturday at 6.30pm. This year, $40,000 in prize money has been allocated by the committee, spread over the 13-event program. One of the highlights will be the participation in the team roping of Cootamundra’s 87 years young Bob Holder, a Rodeo Hall of Fame inductee. Another will be the $1000 chute out bull ride, sponsored by rodeo stalwarts Roy and Bob Baul. Also, Cherie O’Donoghue of Lockington, Victoria will be an exciting participant. You may have seen her win in the breakaway roping in Wagga recently. In Narrandera, she will compete in the team roping, barrel race and breakaway roping. Cherie “has the most all round cowgirl titles in Australian Professional Rodeo Association history”. Proceeds go to Narrandera Can Assist to aid local cancer suffers. **** THE seventh Barellan Masters’ Games will showcase the feats of 200 elite and amateur athletes from around NSW this weekend. They will compete in 10 events, namely, lawn cowls, cricket, netball, AFL, walking, triathlon, golf, horse barrel racing, basketball and tennis.
