DEATH O’DONNELL.– Charles Desmond Passed away peacefully in Perth after a short illness, aged 87. Beloved youngest son of Joe (dec.) & Sylvia (dec.) O’Donnell. Loved brother of Trevor (dec.) and brother-in-law of Patricia, of Birchip. Treasured uncle of Bernadette, Kathryn, James, Peter and Jeanette and their families. Many great childhood memories of summer holidays spent in the Birchip pool and on the farm at Wannaroo. Charles will be fondly remembered as a kind and generous man who loved to play the piano and who was blessed with a personality that could fill the room. Our deepest sympathies are with his wife Toni and children Jacinta, Meaghan, Malachy, Sophie and their families at this sad time. ––––––––––––––––––––– FOR SALE Hyline Brown (Isa Brown) 14 weeks old $25 each Sexed and vaccinated DELIVERY Wed., Aug 25 NORTHWEST AG ST ARNAUD APEX PARK DONALD NUTRIEN AG BIRCHIP Ph.

“The Buloke Times”, Friday, August 6, 2021 — PAGE 11 Reserves Football With ten regular players unavailable on Saturday, a twenty-five goal win in the reserves and a ten goal win in the seniors were testament to the depth of Birchip-Watchem’s list. It could prove to be a blessing or a curse for the se- lectors and coaches come finals time. The signs were ominous for Charlton from the get go, when Connor Walsh won the toss and kicked to the north- ern end of the Charlton oval, with the noise of the squawk- ing cockatoos replacing the absent supporters. The Bulls were in control early, with Matt Berry win- ning the ball in the mid field. Luke Fowler, Alex Noonan and Matt Ryan executed some effective team work to land the ball in the hands of Cal- lum Goode, to register the first goal of the game.
