Pink breakfast
Sabine Lang
Cambridge breast cancer survivor and mother of two Sabine Lang is encouraging people to host a Pink Ribbon breakfast this month to raise funds for the Breast Cancer Foundation. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in early 2021 after a routine mammogram found a tumour and has since gone on to open Lang’s, her own gluten-free bakery.
Coffee with cops

Cambridge Police and the Community Patrol met locals last month as part of the Coffee with a Cop initiative. These events are more than just meet-and-greets; they bridge gaps, dispel misconceptions, and remind everyone that police officers are community members too.

Group one winning mare Loire, 9, passed away at the weekend at the Cambridge home of Brent and Cherry Taylor following a paddock accident. The Trelawney bred champion was a farm favourite and a wonderful, kind and loving mare, said Cherry. Loire retired to stud after failing to add to her victories as a three-year-old.
The Reds draw
Three games in 10 days caught up with Cambridge Football Club on Saturday as they drew 1-1 with Northern Rovers in round seven of the Northern Championship League. Goalie Stefan Heuberger was player of the match pulling off some valuable saves. The result saw The Reds drop one place behind Hamilton Wanderers on the table with 14 points from four wins, two draws and a loss to North Shore in March. Cambridge women lost 3-0 to Melville on Sunday.

Cambridge trio Chris Waller, James McDonald and Step Aside combined to grab an Australian victory at Randwick Racecourse on Saturday. It was the fifth victory of a 21-start career for the gelding which began its career with trainer Ralph Manning, then victory in an 800m trial on the Cambridge synthetic track before heading across the Tasman.
