Car enthusiasts from across the region will unite in their shared passion for motorsports at the return of Whitsunday Horsepower Day tomorrow on the Airlie Beach Sailing Club lawns.

Featuring the “genuine heroes of horsepower” – both drivers and their cars – the event is hosting upwards of a 75-vehicle display, an appearance by Supercar Driver Cameron Waters along with his Monster Energy V8, and vehicles from various racing categories.

The local community have been invited to the free entry event where rev-heads of the region will have a chance to revel in their passion.

Tevent will again contribute to local charities by raising funds and awareness for mental health groups including Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network, Real Mates Talk, and Kick On.

Appointed Chair of Whitsunday Horsepower Heroes Inc. Colin Thomspson, said they’ll have plenty of racing teams alongside their Formula 3s, 2s, and burnout cars to name a few of the displays.

“The target for us, and what we’re working towards, is making the day a prelude event to the Townsville 500,” Mr Thompson.

“We’ve really gone all out this year: we’ll have jumping castles, a riding bull, two choppers for joy flights - an R66 and an ex-Army Huey - and loads of raffles throughout the course of the day.

“There’ll be door prizes, food all day from Sailing Club and racing celebrities like Cameron Waters; so, come out, have a family fun day, see things that you can’t normally see, especially the race cars.”

Sunday morning brought very cool conditions with over fifty Road Runners and supporters braving the cold for the 30km Club Championship as well as 15km and 5km events.

Starting from the Northview Gardens playground, runners took on the route through the undulating suburbs of Rural View, Farleigh, Habana and Nindaroo.

In the 5km event, multi-talented junior sportsman Damian Rutland revelled in the cold conditions, stopping the clock in 19 minutes 37 seconds ahead of Hamish Donnollan and Toby Rule.

Lily Leven continued her strong form to be first female across the line ahead of her good friends Millie Bishop and Crystal Hawkins.

Veteran runner Ricky Parker once again blitzed the course in 23 minutes 44 seconds with Jeanette Farrugia, Alleny Gorrion, Andrew Leggett and Colin Hardy all achieving great results as well.

Junior runners Luke Leven and Oliver Rule were on fire once again in the 15km, sprinting shoulder to shoulder the entire way with Luke finishing less than one second ahead.

Despite a brief misunderstanding of the course, Ryan Evetts showed great skill and grace to cross the line third behind the two youngsters.

First female Jose Short ran a well-paced and Carolyn Steginga stepped up to the 15km distance in a bid to increase her stamina and endurance before her first half marathon in Townsville in a couple of months.  

Alan Zamparutti backed up well in his 15km run after his pacing duties at the Mackay Marina Half Marathon two weeks prior before stepping up to cook the post-run sausage sizzle after his run.

Andrew Short followed Alan to the finish line ahead of Vicki Vickers, Marie Muscat and Ollie Gorrion.

Justin Rule led the quality field of 30 km runners from the start of the hotly contested race with Mick Scholer and Kay Nyenuh hot on his heels. A very focussed Kay finally reeled him in earning himself maximum club championship points as he steamed over the course for the gold medal leaving the silver to Justin and bronze to Mick.

Andrea Conroy set a great pace early in the 30km to retain the lead and gold medal for the entire 30km with Glynis Forse securing silver.

There was a very tight finish for third with Julie Whibley edging out Carmel Mahon by one second.

Runners are now looking forward to The Farmer’s Gallop 5km and 17km this Sunday morning, a historical run that has been a fixture on the calendar for nearly 45 years.

A young Mackay man is one of 12 announced in Squash Australia’s squad for the 2022 WSF World Junior Squash Championships.

Brendan “BJ” MacDonald will experience his first Junior World Championships when he travels to Nancy, France in August.

“It’s pretty exciting,” said Brendan.

“It’s something I’ve been working towards for a long time so it’s good to finally tick that off the bucket list.”

Brendan says he’s been playing squash in Mackay since he was three years old.

“My Dad got me into it originally, he was great friends with the Courtice family who own the courts there, so I remember I was hitting balls on the back of the glass courts since I was three years old,” he said.

As he grew up, he trained with Mackay squash legends Rob Courtice and Kay Barclay.

“They both sadly passed away so after that I was mainly just hitting by myself and with all the guys at (Squash) 52 just trying to do my best to develop my skills without any formal coaching.”

As Brendan got older, he travelled to countries like Malaysia, Singapore and New Zealand to compete against a different calibre of player and enhance his ability.

In 2019, Brendan was named the U17 Australian Boys Champion with an undefeated run in both individual and teams at the 2019 Australian Junior Championships in Devonport, Tasmania.

Throughout high school, Brendan was travelling to Brisbane as much as possible for training and tournament opportunities.

He graduated from St Patrick’s College last year and moved down to Brisbane earlier this year to train full time and study a double degree in Law and Psychology.

He says uni being predominantly online makes it easy for him to prioritise and manage his time while balancing study and training.

“It’s a lot easier for me to work around my squash schedule,” he said.

Brendan has a couple of tournaments lined up between now and the World Championships in August as well as a big block of training.

“I’ll be training with my coaches down here and trying to get my body ready for play over there and try and do my best over there,” he said.

He is well-acquainted with the rest of the Australian squad which also includes his training partner.

Brendan will be competing in the Men’s Junior Individual Event and says he hopes to use the experience as a learning opportunity, aspiring to play squash professionally in the future.

“I’m expecting to have a lot of fun, play against different kinds of players and learn how different countries approach the game and how they train so I can take some tips and tricks back for when I’m training to play professionally in the next couple of years and try to enhance my game through that,” he said.

This year marks the return of the 2022 WSF World Junior Squash Championships after the pandemic forced the cancellation of both the 2020 and 2021 editions set to be held in Australia and Egypt respectively.

National Pathways Coach Jenny Duncalf said she was looking forward to the fantastic opportunity for all players.

“All of the players selected have displayed the performance and commitment level to earn their spot in the Australian team for the much-anticipated upcoming World Junior Championships,” Ms Duncalf said.

“With the event having not been held since 2019, it is a huge opportunity for them to proudly pull on the Australian shirt on the international stage for the first time in a long while and will be eager as ever to perform and gain exposure against the world’s best.”

Three games at home for the round five catch-up matchup between Whitsunday Brahmans and Mackay Brothers, an old rivalry that always proves physical.

The makeup match for a washout saw the U20s continue their steady incline right to the peak, hitting fine form at the right time of the year.

The young side started off the day with a winning tune, continuing to impress as they beat the Brethren 28-4.

They’re going from strength to strength, slowly climbing the ladder with their win against Brothers – a generally strong side in the U20s.

Reserve Grade Men weren’t able to keep the momentum going, losing out 32-36 against Brothers Reserves side.

The Reserves had a strong side, but Brothers have shown their strength in Reserve grade of the past few years, so it was always going to be a tough ask for Brahmans.

The home side fought admirably in what was a try-fest, but for most of the match, Brothers were firmly in the lead.

The Whitsunday side tightened the margin towards the end of the second half and almost came away with a win, though.

A Grade was again another loss, ending 10-24 against Brothers A Grade Men.

The team were near full strength but still missing one or two key players – a tough ask against Brothers who are equal first in the competition.

In the latter stages of the game, Brahmans clocked off, made a few poor decisions at times and it cost them.

Brothers were too strong in the end and took their chances when they were given to them.

It’s a tight competition in the A grade this year, with the ladder leaving most teams with a chance to make top five for a finals finish; three teams sit equal on 10 points in second, with Carlton on top with 12.

20’s coach Trevor Nosworthy said his were very strong defensively again this week against an undermanned but top of the table Brothers team.

“The boys played with intent and composure in the second half, leading to a comfortable win,” Nosworthy said.

“They continue to build each week with the online defence the cornerstone of the teams successes so far.”

The team will send all three grades to Sarina next Sunday.

The Whitsunday Brahmans had a troubled set of fixtures against Brothers at Les Stagg Oval

‍

An exciting round of football at the sports park had it all – close games, great performances, stunning goals, and some very physical clashes.

The U14 Div1 started the show with a steady run against a much improved Dolphins side. The Whitsunday kids hit the lead early with a goal to Reef Hansen in the first few minutes. He went on to score another shortly after and the side played good football to win 4-0 with Kai Draper and Charlie Fendley adding the extras.

The U14 Premier side had the upper hand against Crusaders but conceded a late goal to end up with a 2-2 draw.

U16 Prems suffered a rare loss against the run of play. They had the upper hand over the Crusaders from the start, leading by a goal for most of the game.  Jazz Knezevic scored a hat trick of spectacular goals with Tyler Jankowski chiming in too.

Alex Grossi's touch was sublime, setting up goals from corners and free kicks. Crusaders never went away and their GK kept them in the hunt – eventually beating the home side 5-4.

The Men's Div1 team celebrated their first win of the season. Josh Lowe starred with two goals and the side ran out winners over Magpies 3-1.

Men's Reserves had a strong game against the normally dominant Magpies Reserve side. Phil McAllister scored a spectacular goal to keep the game at a 1-1 draw.

The Premier Women had a drama filled game with the visiting Magpies team on the back foot and a a three-goal lead. A clash between United player Sari Goodall and the Magpies Goalkeeper saw the game cut short after 60 minutes, when both girls ended up in hospital. Thankfully, bothescaped major injury.

The Premier Men closed out the night with a dominant win over last years' Grand Finalists Magpies.

Despite an early sending off leaving the side with 10 men for most of the game, the Whitsunday side showed their grit and determination to take the win 3-1 after being behind by a goal.

Tommy Torzsok slotted two amazing goals to steer the side to the win with Kristian Mulholland adding the extra.

The win takes the side to second place on the table.

This week 75 people ran, jogged and walked the 5km waterfront course. 20 were new to Airlie Beach parkrun and eight recorded new personal bests.

They were Simon, Lachlan, Banjo, Kahlina, Poppy, Braxton, Natalie and Barbara – well done!

The event was made possible by 13 fantastic volunteers: Joanne Ahern (photographer), Nick Beecroft, Nathalie Blomme, Daniel Braddock (run director), Megan Drennan, Mick Drennan, Chris Hands, Caitlin James, Ronald McCall, Dennis Mundle, Laura Oates, Kara Olver, Aimee Sulzberger. Parkrun doesn’t happen without volunteers, so their efforts are appreciated.

Next week is the last Saturday of the month, so participants are encouraged to wear their milestone shirts. Several volunteers are needed on Saturday, please contact Airlie Beach parkrun on messenger or airliebeach@parkrun.com if you can help out.

Airlie Beach parkrun started on 5th December 2015. Since then 3,873 participants have completed 20,972 parkruns covering a total distance of 104,860 km, including 2,478 new Personal Bests. A total of 336 individuals have volunteered 2,879 times.

Every Saturday Airlie Beach parkrun meets at 6:50am for a briefing at area D, Coral Sea Marina (adjacent to the top carpark). Parking is free in the lower carpark till 9:30am if a parkrun barcode is placed on the dashboard. Post parkrun coffee and chat is held at My Rainbow Bakery, Shingley Beach.

The best-kept secret about parkrun is that it’s not about running - it’s about bringing people together in public parks and open spaces across the world to have some fun in a friendly, social and supportive environment. You can walk or run the 5k course (pushing a pram or with one dog on a short lead if you want to!), lend a helping hand as a volunteer in a wide range of super-easy roles, or simply spectate and socialise on the sidelines.

Friday night saw the Bowen Mudcrabs travel down to Whitsunday Sportspark for a Mackay Rugby Union Round Two replay, and a top of the table clash against the Mama Africa Raiders.

The occasion was also the second round of the new Eclipse Financial Services Cup – a newly contested cup between the two geographically close rivals.

As is always the case in Bowen against Whitsundays, both teams were going to be in for an arm wrestle.

The first points were dictated by a penalty given to Raiders after 12 minutes, before – seven minutes later - the Whitsunday side breached the Bowen defences with a try out wide by Kainoa Close-Houston, with an unsuccessful conversion.

Bowen fought back with a converted try in the 26th, bringing it to 8–7.

Raiders were again dominating tackles after, putting in solid, consistent defence of their territory.

Big Nate Williams was again busting through the opposition line with strong carries, crossing in the 35th minute for a converted try and a half time score of 15-7.

Raiders came out of half time ready to show the big crowd, as well as the opposition, why they’re top of the table.

They kept the muddies from penetrating the defensive 22 and played the game in Bowens half of the field, running out a classy win, 41-7.

Stand outs on the day were Cameron Meurant, again leading from the front, Niall Clancy, a man possessed who took on the big boys without a blink of an eye.

Hone Casey-Bloomer had one of his best games to date, with some brilliant aerial skills and strong busting runs, as well as Nate Williams, who always drags in two or three defenders when he runs.

Tries on the night went to Kianoa, Nate, Jack, Hone, Bill Crossley, and Kumya.

Players of the night were Cameron Meurant, three points, Hone Casey-Bloomer, two points, and Niall Clancy, one point.

Mama Africa Raiders travel to Lions Park Mackay next week to take on the Kuttabul Camelboks at 3.30pm, who are now in second.
