What a year 2022 was for the Central West Throwers (CWT), with medals at all levels of competition including Country, State, National, Oceania, All Schools and National All Schools. Congratulations to all the CWT team and to their coach Ernie Shankelton his hard work and support.
The 2023 throwing season started in early January for the CWT at the Country Championship, held in Dubbo. Another big season lies ahead for CWT members who primarily train in Canowindra, travelling from Gooloogong, Cowra, Bathurst, Mudgee, Temora, Canberra, Thirlmere and Kiama to learn from throw coach, Ernie Shankelton.
It is hoped that this year, a competition throws cage will be installed at the Canowindra Sports Ground, with assistance from Cabonne Council, to allow regional athletes the same competition standard cages to practice in as their city counterparts.
Sincere thanks is extended to the local businesses, residents, friends and family who have donated prizes or bought raffle tickets to help local girl Emily Thomas live her dreams.
