Geocache Description:


THE POSTED COORDINATES ARE NOT CORRECT – IT COULD GET BUSY ON GAME DAY

Cache #196

Australian Rules Football is the dominate sport in the southern Riverina. Traveling around Federation Shire just about every town and village has a football oval. Many are no longer in use, with the teams often merging with teams in the larger towns. Most of the current teams are participants in the Hume Football Netball League, but many have participated in more localised leagues. This series will take you to some of these football grounds and give you some of the history of the local clubs. Some grounds are still active (might be busy on game day) and at least one does not permit access. However, all hides are of a similar nature and do not require entry to the ground (though you may want recreate an after the siren grand final winning goal if you are so inclined).

The Coreen Daysdale Hopefield Curaja United (CDHBU) Power are a team based in Coreen. They were formed in 2006 by the merger of the Coreen Daysdale United Saints and the Hopefield Buraja Bulldogs. They played the two final seasons of the Coreen and District Football League before joining the Hume League in 2008. They have yet to win a premiership in this incarnation. Originally called the Saints they now are the Power and wear the black, teal and white uniform of the Port Adelaide Power.

This puzzle is a little different to the rest - you will need to gather the information at the other seven puzzles in the series and solve the following.

BulldogsHawks.Spiders(Magpies+Crows)(Spiders-Hoppers)

(Magpies÷Crows)(Bulldogs-Hawks).Saints(Saints+Hoppers)Magpies

The final hide is the same as the remainder in the series. Stealth will be required at these caches and as in rural locations snakes might be about in the warmer months. Otherwise, we hope you enjoy this series exploring the footie fields of Federation Shire.
