Danny O’BRIEN (Gippsland South) (10:24): Gippsland is also kicking goals in sport – pun intended – with two Sale winners at the recent Victorian Sport Awards. Congratulations to Sale United women’s coach Madelaine Breakspear, who was named Community Coach of the Year – an outstanding achievement. Maddi coached the Swans to both the Latrobe Valley Soccer League championship and cup last year and also coaches the LVSL under-18 rep team. Sale cricket umpire Peter Boulter was named Community Official of the Year for his contribution across multiple competitions. Finally, at the Victorian Community Tennis Awards Sale Tennis Club was honoured with the Most Outstanding Inclusion Initiative for its PALM workers program, getting visiting Pacific Island workers into tennis.
