In what was a blast from the past, a team of ex and current Cobar residents reunited to play at the Windmill Basketball Carnival in Gilgandra on the weekend. Playing in B-Grade, the ‘Rust Buckets’ won their four pool games and semi-final match to make it through to the grand final. Unfortunately, injuries and weary legs caught up to the team in the grand final and they lost to the ‘Bricks ‘r’ Us’ team from Orange. The Cobar connections team pictured above are: (back row) Ben Taylor, Sean Irvine, Matt Yates, Murray Robotham and Chad Buckman (who helped reduce the average age from +40 to approx. 34) and (front row) Brad Collins, Ben Gundry (a team import), Jade Buckman, Michael Schultz and Kel Sansom. ▪ Photo contributed
