A couple of weeks ago, the Burdekin Touch Association (BTA) took time out to recognise a special group of people on and off the field - its players and officials who are past or present members of local emergency services.
“The contribution made to the Burdekin community by SES, Lifesavers, Police, Fire & Rescue, Paramedics and Marine Rescue members often goes unnoticed,” said BTA President, Michael Littlefield.
“We wanted to thank our Touch Football members who make our community a safer place to live.”
Among the most recognisable is Blue Murder, a team made up predominantly of local police officers. But their service spirit is spread far and wide—nearly every team in the competition features at least one player who currently serves, or has served, in an emergency role.
To say thanks, the Association treated emergency service representatives to a free sausage sizzle and a well-earned drink, as a small gesture of appreciation for the big role they play in the Burdekin every day.
