Meanwhile locally, there was a little girl who was very excited when she was told her name was drawn out of the HotShots Happy Box and announced as the Term 4 winner.
Piper Slaven popped in earlier this week to collect her prize pack.
All HotShots participants have the opportunity to collect tickets for the draw during each term by showing respect to their fellow players, respect to their coach and their equipment, using their best manners and giving their best efforts.
Well Done Piper!

Many of the community have continued to enquire about the state of the courts.
There has finally been some progress, which will see all eight courts that have been resurfaced be pulled up, the bases re-done and the courts laid again.

It is hoped that the works will start on courts 1-6 ASAP.
The original court resurfacing project began on March 8.
Parkes Tennis has unfortunately had to give away our January tournament, which is a shame for the economic value to the wider community as we know this brings hundreds of families to town, but there will be a scheduled regional squad day and tournament on February 5 and 6.
Merry Christmas
This will be the final ACE for 2021.
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank editor Kristy Williams for her enthusiastic support during the year.
Kristy has come into Parkes and totally immersed herself into the wider community, which has been great for our Champion Post.
Thank you to all of our readers both in print and online.
