Emerging Colac Imperials footballer Will Cust says

Emerging Colac Imperials footballer Will Cust says he is ready to dive head first into his rehabilitation from a torn ACL after his breakout season came to a crashing halt.

The 19-year-old had managed just two senior games in the previous three years, before earning a regular senior spot this season.

But his season came to an end after just three games this year, rupturing his ACL in the first five minutes of the Imps' loss to Irrewarra-Beeac on April 20.

The partner of late Otway Districts captain Aaron

The partner of late Otway Districts captain Aaron Mahoney says she never envisaged the community reaction to seeing their son Toby make his CDFNL debut in his dad’s famous number 36 jumper.

Emma Craddock said it was an emotional time when the news blew up on social media on Saturday night, almost exactly nine years after Aaron died as a result of an underlying heart condition.

The Otway Districts Football Netball Club retired Aaron’s number 36 following his tragic on-field death in May, 2015.

But the red-and-blue 36 was seen taking the field once again on Saturday morning during Otway’s under-14.5 clash against Simpson.

An iconic Colac op shop along Murray Street has been forced to shut its doors after 21 years due to declining volunteer numbers.

Red Cross Shop Colac volunteer manager Val Rippon said the community-driven store had struggled to attract new help when dedicated staff were looking to take a step back.

The thrift shop, which supplied the Colac district with thousands of treasures since 2003, will close on May 17.

As close mates, Josh Garner and Josh McDonald had

As close mates, Josh Garner and Josh McDonald had plenty in common growing up together in Colac away from cricket.

But it’s their similarities sending down a leather four-piece that would have Geelong Cricket Club officials counting down the days for next season to begin.
