		<title>Grand Final &#8211; Bendigo 5 v 6 Puckapunyal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Fighting Miners failed in their quest to win back-to-back premierships when they were defeated by the Puckapunyal Boars 6-5 in a quagmire at Puckapunyal last Saturday.

Torrential rain had covered the playing surface with about 50mm of water which soon cut up to become a quagmire. Adding to the difficult conditions were intermittent downpours and a strong wind.

		<title>Bendigo 140 v 0 Border Army</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scoring records tumbled as the Fighting Miners humiliated a hapless Border Army team in the minor semi-final at Shadforth Park last Saturday.

Spearheaded by centre Michael Crichton, who scored an incredible nine tries, the Miners completely dominated proceedings, scoring twenty two unanswered tries.

From Crichton’s first try in the second minute of play till Vaai Liufau’s try in the final minute, the Miners were unrelenting. The longest period between tries was eight minutes midway through the first half.]]></description>

		<title>Another Big Match in Bendigo this Saturday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Fighting Miners will be at full strength for their clash with competition leader Cobram Dust Devils at Shadforth Park this Saturday.

In their last outing, the Miners knocked Puckapunyal Boars out of top position with a convincing win.

Bendigo coach Alan Wilkinson is confident his team can repeat the feat against the Dust Devils. In their two previous clashes with the Dust Devils this season, the Miners have a loss and a draw.]]></description>

		<title>Haggis &amp; Baked Bean Pizza</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Traditional Scottish/Italian fare with a baked bean twist.

I chopped half a small onion and fried gently in a little butter. Then I broke up a slice of haggis from Rob's in Dandenong, and mixed with the onion. Next, I added a small tin of baked beans and plastered the mixture evenly over a home-made base. I covered with an equal mix of grated cheddar and Mozzarella, then finished off with good pinch of mixed/Italian herbs. Cook in the oven as you would any less exotic pizza and Robert's your uncle!]]></description>

		<title>Big Match in Bendigo this Saturday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Fighting Miners are at full strength for their clash with competition leader Puckapunyal Boars at Shadforth Park this Saturday.

After two weeks on the road where the Miners beat Border Army and drew with Cobram, they go into the match with some degree of confidence.

In their two previous encounters this season, the Boars have won both but the Miners consider themselves unlucky to have lost the last match at Puckapunyal where they scored three tries to the Boars’ one.]]></description>

		<title>Say No To Vuvuzelas!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Along with the referees, the new ball and the underwhelming standard of play, this contemptible contraption has conspired to mar the current FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

Worryingly, stores here in Australia are unable to keep up with demand. For sports fans, this cannot be good news. The 2010 World Cup will always be remembered for these monotonous, obnoxious horns and God forbid they be allowed to permeate the Aussie sporting culture!

My advice is say 'No' and particularly if you cannot confirm their origin. For instance, I would highly recommend against importing vuvuzelas from Papua New Guinea, where they are more commonly referred to as a koteka or phallocrypt.]]></description>

		<title>New Zealand 29-10 Wales</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A second test defeat was always likely, particularly if you look at the form books but Wales still could have performed better. The All Blacks looked a little unimaginative and may I be so bold as to say hesitant?

In the dying seconds the score sat at a perfectly respectable 22 - 10, a score many Welshmen would have bitten arms off to take prior to kick-off, but a slip from Byrne was gratefully pounced on by Cruden for a late try that was a little hard to swallow.

The effort by the Welsh was considerable but I couldn't help but feel that there was a little more to come. Like many of my school reports,  'Could do better' summed it up nicely, but surprisingly more so for the home nation.

The third half result was more even, with the Welsh fans just sneaking a glorious victory by drinking Hamilton dry of Guinness. A great night was had by all and one I hope to repeat next year at the Rugby World Cup  2011, here in New Zealand.]]></description>

		<title>Wales v All Blacks 2nd Test in Hamilton</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's abso-bloody-lutely belting it down here in Hamilton but the overwhelming urge to trawl the local bars for Welshmen is too strong.....hmm, that came out wrong?

What I mean is, it would be nice to meet up with the Welsh rugby fans who have descended on Hamilton in their droves for the 2nd Test tomorrow and partake of a few sherbets while we reminisce about the green, green grass of home; God’s country if you will.

I’ll have to get a taxi!]]></description>
