Gold vs White

Wed, 1 Feb 2012 14:17:43 GMT

Well, after doubts that the game against White at the Bradman Oval, sorry, Dalton South (the two venues are so alike) would go ahead after lots of rain in the preceding days, the weather was better, the sun came out for a while and once again shone on the Men of Gold.

Up against the youthful development side, age and experience came out on top. After a steady start against so...

Earle’s highest total as a Nugget, 73 not out (4 x 4’s & 6 x 6’s).

Goodbye Dicko

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:40:33 GMT

He whips in from a medium sized runup and further whips his arm over; a little sidearm, very effective. This is "Dicko" - one of the nicest blokes you'll ever meet.

Craig Dixon first joined the club in season 2008/09 having relocated to the area from the great Snowy Mountains. Truly his brush with the Butchers actually occurred before this; when dismissing fellow Butcher Michael...

A Golden Escape

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:13:27 GMT

Low dark clouds and a cool southerly set the backdrop for the 2012 season opener for Gold against Dapto. The unavailability of key Nuggets provided the opportunity to blood some “new” players. Josh Shelton made a welcome return to the game and Shaun Minogue finally had a Saturday arvo free to make his comeback after 33 years.

Dapto batted first and ironically it ...
