Last Friday afternoon, the Nutrien Ag. Solutions Cricket Complex was again filled with excited children playing cricket.

This was the first week of the 2026/27 season for the “Hardball” cricketers after the winter break. The younger players will start their season this week. The “Blasters”, for 5–8-year-olds, will play at East Ayr State School at 3.30pm on Thursday, 15th October, while the “Junior Smash Series”, for 8–10-year-olds, will be held at 5pm on Friday, 16th October, at the Nutrien Ag. Solutions Cricket Complex.

‍

The “Blue Group” has a few new players joining them this season, with some moving up from last season’s Challengers and others new to cricket. Lane Nicolson, one of the new players, was the top scorer with 23 runs, followed by another newcomer, Broly Colls, with 19 runs. Stirling Williams also scored 19, while Mitchell Patti was unbeaten on 15 runs.

‍

Last season’s Challenger, Nate Ryder, made “Hardball” bowling look easy with four wickets for seven runs, including a wicket maiden. The other wicket-takers were Logan McKeough (2/13), Stirling Williams and Mitchell Patti, who took one wicket each. Nate received the “MacDonald Sports Award” for his incredible bowling spell.

‍

‍

The “Gold Group” had a couple of players trialling from the “Blue Group”, and they were not at all outplayed. Jardii Russell looked at home in the group, finishing unbeaten on 14 runs, taking two wickets for four runs and bowling a maiden. This all-round performance earned him the “MacDonalds Sports Award”.

‍

Jude Shannon was another trialling player and snared two wickets for just two runs, including two maidens. Other bowlers to take maidens were Kip Nicholas, Jardii Russell, Tait Parker and Ben Watkins. Xavier Cross took two wickets for 12 runs, which was a little expensive compared with the other bowlers.

‍

Tait Parker bowled well (1/7) and took two catches. Marshall Parker and Mazlyn Smith also took catches and combined to get a run-out.

Young golfers across the state are gearing up for one of the junior golf calendar’s premier events, the Karrie Webb Junior Masters, which will grace Ayr Golf Club later this month.

‍

Named after the Burdekin's own international golfing legend, Karrie Webb—who will be in attendance—the tournament will see juniors go head-to-head across 18-hole, nine-hole, six-hole and three-hole events on the 24th and 25th October.

Last year’s competition saw a field of 90 juniors take to the course, with Dallas Douglas and Jazarah Kamu emerging as 18-hole boys and girls champions from a talent pool spanning North Queensland.

Organisers are hoping for another strong field of competitors this year, with nominations remaining open until 22nd October.

Juniors can nominate for any of the four formats, with two-day entry fees ranging from $15 to $35.

Seniors

The 2026 season wound up last week when the Burdekin Colts travelled to Cairns to contest the Crad Evans Trophy against Edge Hill Utd. The Colts, already minor premiers and Grand Final winners, won 2-1, a fitting way to wind up a very goodseason.  

‍

The Burdekin Panthers Presentation Night will be held on Saturday 24^th October.

‍

Colts – Astute Finance

The Burdekin Colts capped off an extraordinary season in style, defeating Edge Hill United 2-1 in the Crad Evans Trophy Final on Sunday 27 September. The victory completed a remarkable treble for the Colts, who finished the year as Minor Premiers, Grand Final Champions, and Crad Evans Champions, while also earning the title of Invincibles after going undefeated throughout the entire season. The final was a dominant display from the Colts. Edge Hill started brightly, pressing hard and fast, but Burdekin maintained their composure and controlled much of the possession throughout the match. Midway through the first half, a long throw from Caleb Formalin found Jhett Jones, who quickly slipped a pass through to Cooper Kross. Kross made no mistake, forcing the ball home to give Burdekin a deserved 1-0 lead. The Colts carried that advantage into the halftime break.  

‍

The second half began much the same way, with Burdekin continuing to dominate proceedings. The midfield controlled the game and consistently created opportunities. Following some strong defensive work, the ball fell to Charlie Predabon, who delivered a superb pass through to Ryley Siandri. The league's Golden Boot winner remained calm under pressure and slotted home his 16th goal of the season to extend the lead to 2-0. Edge Hill managed a late consolation goal, but the result was never seriously in doubt as the Colts saw out the match to secure the championship. This triumph crowns Burdekin as the undisputed Under 18 Champions of North Queensland and is a testament to the hard work, commitment, and team spirit shown by the players and coaching staff throughout an unforgettable season.

Night Soccer – Delta Cleaners

Night Soccer’s 2nd week of competition saw the sixteen games produce sixty-three goals. There were four forfeits, probably mostly due to school holidays. Top scorers were Willy Wackers with eleven goals and ladies’ team Rocky Pond Wonderswith eight goals. There were three draws, and just three games were won by one goal. This year there are twenty-four Man’s teams initially split up into three group of eight teams. The Ladies have sixteen teams in two groups of eight.

‍

National and International

The Socceroos did rather well in their two-match series against Brazil. After drawing 1-1 in Townsville, they then lost 2-4 in Brisbane, after leading 2-1. The Socceroos next fixtures are in the AFC Asian Cup in January next year. They play Singapore, Iraq and Tajikistan in their group games.

The Matildas have three “friendly” games coming up. They are away to Germany on 9^th October and then on 13^th October meet Haiti in France. On 28^th November they are at home to Colombia in Canberra.

Meanwhile in the rest of the world, it is an international couple of weeks. In Europe fifty-four teams are competing in the Nations League! Groups A, B and C each have four groups of four teams and group D has two lots of three teams. After three, or four games, depending on the Draw, in League A only Spain and Portugal have maximum points. In League B only Switzerland has maximum points and in League C, Montenegro has three wins.

Notable results this week include England winning 7-0 away to Croatia, Iceland beating Bulgaria 3-0, Portugal, without Ronaldo, winning 4-2 away to Denmark and Poland thumping Romania 6-0.

Sibson, currently playing off scratch, said he heads into the events without any major expectations but with plenty of national pride. Photos supplied

‍

Burdekin golfer Scott Sibson has been selected to represent both Queensland and Australia at a series of tournaments across October and November this year.

‍

Sibson, 56, will pull on Queensland’s maroon at the Australian Senior Amateur at Bribie Island Golf Club from 14th-16th October.

He will then represent Australia in a biennial Senior Trans-Tasman Match against New Zealand in Brisbane on 19th-20th October, before travelling to Macau for the Asia Pacific Golf Championship from 25th-27th November.

‍

One of the Asia’s premier team and individual events for senior male golfers, the Asia Pacific Golf Championship will pit Sibson against some of the best senior golfers in the region, with the winner earning an exemption into The R&A Senior Amateur Championship.

He admitted the achievement came quicker than expected.

‍

“It has been a goal of mine to play for Australia since last year when I started playing the state events. I never realised it would happen so quickly though,” he said.

‍

“I have had a few mates who have been involved in these tournaments, and I thought if I played well then I would be a chance to maybe make the Australia v New Zealand team—but to be able to play in the Asia Pacific Championship is a real highlight.”

‍

Sibson’s selection follows a stellar two years on the links, winning domestic tournaments in Townsville and on the Gold Coast in 2025 before making his Australian debut at the BMW Golf Cup World Final in South Africa earlier this year.

Further success in senior amateur events across the country has culminated in a second-place Golf Australia senior amateur ranking for the full-time accountant, ultimately earning him state and national team selection.

‍

Sibson, currently playing off scratch, said he heads into the events with no expectations but plenty of national pride.

“I really have no idea how we will go in any of these team events as it is the first time,” he said.

‍

“I just hope I can perform well as I am very proud to be able to say that I have represented Australia. I feel I am a very patriotic Aussie.”

‍

With the achievement comes gratitude for those who have supported Sibson along the way.

‍

“I would like to thank my wife Donna because without her support, none of this would ever have happened. She has given me the confidence to have a go,” he said.

‍

“I also must thank my staff for their support, as I do tend to spend a considerable amount of time away from the office.”

Happy youngster with a nice Spanish Mackerel

‍

Due to take place 22-25th October from the Whitsunday Marine Club, the Tackle World Airlie Beach Light Tackle Game Fish Tournament has evolved to be one of the biggest events of its kind on the Queensland Coast.

‍

Hosted by the Whitsunday Game Fish Club, it’s shaping up to be another fantastic event.

The lively competition is fished to GFAA (Game Fishing Association of Australia) rules and regulations using 10kg monofilament line only. The contest covers two divisions; boats over seven meters and boats under seven meters, with teams consisting of a minimum of two and a maximum of five anglers who are financial members of a Club affiliated with GFAA.

‍

The Tournament point scoring is based mainly around tag & release.

Billfish (Sailfish and Marlin) are awarded 1000 points, and competitors receive 100 points each for all other Gamefish including Mackerel, Tuna, Cobia, Mahi-Mahi, GT's, Wahoo, Queenfish and more.

‍

Gamefish to be weighed for extra points must exceed a weight of 10kg.

The formula is, Fish Weight × 100 ÷ 10 = points, fish less than 10kg may be tagged for points. GT's, Queenfish and Barracuda must exceed 60 centimetres in length to be eligible for tag & Release.

‍

On Friday 16th October from 6pm, the Club will host an informative workshop night conducted by Committee member Gareth Trevz.

He will outline all the skills needed to be a serious contender in Tournaments, demonstrate bait and lure rigging techniques and offer tips for presentation to tempt any Gamefish.

‍

Everybody's welcome to come along to this event and it is free of charge. New memberships and Tournament nominations will be gladly received on the night.

‍

The Airlie Beach Light Tackle Game Fish Tournament kicks off on Thursday October 22nd at 6pm with a meet and greet, some tasty food followed a compulsory briefing for competitors where all information will be explained in full.

‍

After this, it's time for a fun Calcutta auction of all competing Teams, mixed in with a little bit of friendly banter, which always generates a few laughs.

The following morning, the action begins in earnest with a compulsory Sail-past of all competing vessels at 7am, adjacent to the Club, which is a real spectacle.

‍

Fishing then commences at 8am, ceasing at 5pm.

‍

On Saturday the competition resumes at 7am and finishes at 5pm, while the Sunday contest starts at 7am, coming to a close at 2pm.

Boats have the option of staying at sea on Friday and Saturday night in a designated safe anchorage for a social get-together if they choose to do so.

The Presentation Dinner starts at 6pm on Sunday with delicious food and a fantastic array of prizes and cash to be given away in the Men’s, Ladies’, Junior (11-16yo) and Smallfry (under 11-year-old) sections. Plus lots more, thanks to the continuing support of generous sponsors.

‍

This Tournament is an opportunity for fishers of all ages to learn new angling skills and techniques, embrace the sport of Game Fishing while competing as a team against others for the loads of prizes on offer.

‍

The Tournament organisers would prefer to have all team nominations in by 4pm Monday the19th of October for catering purposes and to finalise Shirts etc.

‍

Organisers would like to thank their event sponsors and encourage all competitors to think of local small businesses first, supporting the sponsors that support them.
