Sit Down With Sam

Hi readers

My mug has once again made it into the sport pages of Burdekin Life after the team I play cricket with, Guardian Pharmacy, took out the Home Hill Cricket Association grand final on the weekend.

You’ll find a photo of the team on the back cover and a report on page 29.

It was only my fourth game of the season, but I started to find my radar with the ball in these last few games and I was happy to be a part of the win.

Congratulations to my teammates on the win, to the other two teams on a terrific season of cricket and to the administrators and volunteers of Home Hill Cricket Association – it’s been a pleasure to write these reports all season and I look forward to experiencing my first Canefield Ashes in a few weeks!

You’ll also see my name mentioned across the page on page 28 it Stephen’s Home Hill Bowls Report, so it would be remiss of me not to mention my stellar bowls form at the moment.

I seem to be finding the jack consistently enough and, along with some other talented bowlers and teammates, have had a few wins in the last few weeks.

Most importantly, I’m loving my sport at the moment and enjoy getting out, meeting new people and having a crack.

Lastly, I must congratulate the talented performers who took the stage on Saturday for the NQ Fast Track Talent Showcase.

The level of talent on that stage absolutely blew me away – you can find results and photos on page 19.

I hope you enjoy the read this week!
