I congratulate the Trinity Catholic College Lismore year 9 and 10 boys netball team. They just won the New South Wales all schools netball cup in Sydney. Well done team members Riley Flood, Louis Ashby, Zane Jones, Yavita Waiko, Clancy Dunne, Sean Thorneycroft, Alex Robinson, Lachlan Mallet, Rigby O'Meara, Logan Connolly, James Cremona and Mitchell Mayes. It was an impressive win. I also congratulate team coach Brooke Churchill and team manager Jacob Heffernan. It was a great effort.

I congratulate Crown Hotel Grafton's head chef Damien Duggan, who has been awarded the AHA Regional Chef of the Year award at their New South Wales awards for excellence. He has been a chef for over 33 years and has a passion for Italian and Mediterranean food. Damien and his wife, Sylvia, manage the Crown Hotel and have done so for the past two years. Congratulations, Damien.

I congratulate Bonalbo Central School year 11 student Riley Crimmins on winning his class in the Australian Off-Road Championships. Riley overcame a broken collarbone and mechanical hurdles to win the Dungog event in the Hunter. He started riding before he turned two and spent his youth on dirt bikes on family farms at Coraki and Tunglebung. I'm sure Riley's father, Matt; mother, Angela; and brother, Cody; are very proud of his win at the national event.
