The brief venue confusion

September 1 2017

There has been a little confusion over the last day when mynetball.com.au listed the Rovers Preliminary Finals matches were being played in Deniliquin whilst the Football was being played at Berrigan.

Eventually it was figured out it was Berrigan where all the action is going to take place tomorrow and not Deniliquin as listed on the link above.

Mistakes do happen and we’ve been caught out a few times when times have been listed wrong mostly game starting times when we were new to writing about Netball but when we go down the wrong path we quickly fix it.

We just hope the below video does not happen to any Rovers players (Rams too) tomorrow for nobody wants it to happen during finals.

How would the above sound locally, something like below;

“I think how lucky I am to be a Deniliquin Rovers (Rams) player and how fortunate I am to have a great sponsor like NAPA Auto Parts because NAPA understands quality and value and the importance of having a friendly, knowledgeable staff and at the times like this looking around the empty stands and listening to the silence of the bench that I realize………I’m at the wrong court!”.

It might actually make a great parody video someday.

Fun Facts: The guy in the video is Michael Waltrip, Michael’s brother Darrell voiced Darrell Cartrip in Cars 1 and 3, the Waltrip brothers won 88 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup wins (84 are Darrell’s), three Daytona 500’s (two are Michael’s), three NASCAR championships (all Darrell’s) and Darrell most likely had the weirdest celebration in NASCAR history.

Brewery Bottles on eBay

August 28 2017

There has been a slight resurgence of bottles and posters from the Riverine Brewery Co. being offered on eBay.

Recently a bottle sold for $27 and there is a bottle from around 1910 on offer for $75 before P&H.

Most bottles are sold for around $40 apiece before P&H comes in  which usually comes to around $15.

Those who have some wall space may be interested in this poster, the only downside to it is that it is in Moorabbin and cannot be posted so locals may have to have a road trip or get a friend nearby to help.

The bottle in the picture below has ‘Riverine Brewery Co. Deniliquin’ on the front and below that it has the words ‘This bottle is the property of Elliots Riverine Brewery Co. Deniliquin’.

The bottom of the bottle has a stamp with a C and an M below it, there is a 0 to the right side of the stamp and below that is stamped L458 and finally an M below that and a B2a near that with the 2 backwards.

The difference between the bottle mentioned and the $75 one apart from design is the more expensive version does not have the message about property yet those who love to collect will still jump at it.

Bottles will most likely have cracks and the surface may be roughed up by decades of dirt and other materials but nothing that should wreck the bottle.

We will continue to report on items as they are seen.
