Nearly 40 runners took on the challenging hills and undulating course around Slade Point and Lambert’s Beach on Sunday morning for the annual Tim’s Chariots of Fire 5km and 16km events.

Perfect running conditions greeted competitors, with hosts Tim and Sandra opening their home for the start and finish location, offering impressive coastal views. Runners and supporters also enjoyed a sausage sizzle, tea and coffee, Zooper Doopers and even a post run swim in the pool.

New club runner Ryan Murray delivered an outstanding performance to win the 16km race, finishing ahead of Clinton Mackie, Levi Wallace and Shane Donnollan. Rhiann Massey was the first female home and fifth overall, followed by Mel Esau, Emily Hayles and Carmel Mahon. Other strong performances came from Leon Sant, Roscoe McDonnell, Ashley Miles, Stephen Oberg, Jeremy Taylor and Wayne Huntley.

In the 5km event, Justin Rule powered to victory despite the hilly course.

Ross Connor, Lauren Connor, Jo Hughes, David Isbister, Andrew Short, Leanne Connor, Natasha Joynson, Craig Joynson, Fran March and Stuart Sprott also completed the course.

Whitsunday United FC (WUFC) men delivered a spirited set of performances in their opening round clashes against Mackay Lions, with a mix of results and valuable lessons on the road.

The U23s controlled proceedings from the outset, dominating possession and moving the ball confidently. Despite creating several chances, they were unable to break the deadlock, settling for a 0–0 draw. A clean sheet away from home, with several players making their debuts, provides a promising foundation as they begin their title defence.

In the Premier fixture, WUFC made a fast start against the reigning champions. Premier debutant Aaron Kinsella opened his account from the penalty spot after Reef Peel was brought down, before doubling the lead soon after with a composed finish from another Peel assist. Lions responded strongly in the second half, levelling the match before briefly taking the lead. However, Whitsundays showed resilience, with Max O’Keefe firing home to secure an entertaining 3–3 draw.

Division 1 Men showed plenty of attacking promise despite a 4–3 loss. Goals from Sam Reynolds, Rale Mudford and Nathan Sothmann highlighted their quality, but defensive lapses and fatigue allowed Lions to edge a closely contested encounter.

Division 2 Men produced a disciplined performance to claim a 2–0 win. Phil McAllister and Sam Watson both found the net in the first half, capitalising on their chances, while the side managed the game well after the break to deny Lions any momentum.

Across all grades, WUFC showed encouraging signs heading into the season.

It has been another fantastic week, with both Ladies’ and Men’s competitions in full swing. In the Men’s B Singles, Phil O’Brien, David “Choc” Cleary, Des Balance and Mark Mawson have all progressed through to the third round.

Tuesday afternoon’s Social Bowls saw skipper Noel Crosbie, alongside Glen O’Brien, claim the winners’ prize, while John Askew and Robin Brown took home second place in what was a very entertaining afternoon.

The results of the Ladies Fours semi-finals will be published in the next issue.

The biggest winning margin of the day went to the team led by Tony Whitehorn, assisted by lead David Meiklejohn and second Dennis Donadelli, with the entire team contributing strongly.

Wednesday night’s Business House Bowls saw a seventh consecutive win, with Cathy Russell’s team getting stronger each week. Two teams are now equal second on 15 points, with around 40 bowlers taking part.

Saturday morning saw eight teams competing in the 2 Bowl Triples, with semi-finals played in the afternoon. The matchups featured Andrew Butler, Steve Lawrie and Andy McDougall against Manny Isgro, Russell Jackson and John Fielding, while Bob Spees, Glen O’Brien and Warren Wilson faced Des Balance, David Cleary and Mark Mawson.

Sunday’s final saw eight-time winners Manny Isgro, Russell Jackson and John Fielding deliver a clinical performance, completely outclassing Des Balance, Mark Mawson and David Cleary to underline their dominance in the Men’s 2 Bowl Triples.

Sunday afternoon Social Bowls, run by Lyn Graham, saw Stacey Hadlow and his team emerge as winners in another highly competitive session.

Congratulations to Manny Isgro, Russell Jackson and John Fielding on their magnificent winning performance.

Local rider Max Teague has achieved outstanding success at the 2026 GWM Mountain Bike National Championships held in Mt Buller, Victoria.

Set against stunning landscapes, the Championships delivered five days of elite racing across Downhill, Cross Country Olympic, Short Track and Team Relay disciplines.

Max excelled and delivered a standout performance across multiple events, beginning with a dominant ride in the Junior Team Relay (XCR), where his team secured victory in convincing fashion.

He backed this up with an exceptional performance in the U15 Men’s Short Course Cross Country (XCC), where he claimed the win and earned the title of Australian National Champion.

Max next competed in the U15 Men’s Olympic Cross Country (XCO) event, taking home the silver with an excellent performance, making the Mackay & District MTB Club proud.

Max’s journey into cycling began at an early age in Germany, where his love for speed and adventure was born. Over the years, that passion evolved into a serious dedication to racing, as he developed a deep love for the challenges and thrills that come with competing at a high level.

Looking ahead, Max dreams big—he’d love to win gold at the 2032 Olympics in XC MTB.

According to sponsors Mackay Cycles: “With his dedication and relentless drive, there’s no telling how far he’ll go.”

“We recognise the dedication, preparation and support behind Max’s success, including his family, coaches and the broader cycling community,” they shared.

“His achievements reflect the strength of junior cycling development and the growing presence of regional athletes on the national stage.”

The North Mackay Sinkers are pleased to acknowledge club member Pierre Craven on achieving an exceptional milestone in the Vorgee Million Metres Program. Pierre has officially surpassed 3 million metres, completing this remarkable distance in just three years.

This achievement reflects an extraordinary level of commitment to regular training and longterm participation in Masters swimming. Averaging one million metres per year and over in some years, Pierre has demonstrated the consistency, discipline, and personal drive that underpin the Million Metres Program and the broader values of Masters Swimming.

Pierre’s biggest year to date in 2025 saw some 1,234,000 metres completed. That’s over 23km a week and, over 100km each month of 2025. No easy feat, and contributed to his rapid progression through the program.

A Significant Contribution to the Spirit of Masters Swimming

Pierre is widely regarded within the club for his steady work ethic and positive presence at training. His approach exemplifies the Masters ethos of sustained fitness, personal challenge, and community engagement. His progress through the Million Metres levels provides a strong example for swimmers across Queensland who are pursuing their own longdistance goals.

Recognition of a Major Milestone

Reaching the 3 Million Metres level is a distinguished accomplishment within the national program, earning formal recognition from Masters Swimming Australia. Pierre’s achievement adds to the North Mackay Sinkers’ growing record of participation in the Million Metres Program and highlights the club’s culture of dedication and continuous improvement.

The Sinkers congratulate Pierre on this outstanding milestone and acknowledges the commitment required to reach it. His achievement is a testament to perseverance and a valuable contribution to the Masters swimming community in Queensland.
