At The 2025 Cape Hillsborough Blokarting Regatta

The Central Queensland Blokart Club held its annual three-day regatta at Cape Hillsborough Beach last weekend, attracting thirty competitors from across the region. Racing began on Friday under promising conditions, but the wind soon eased, leaving most sailors switching down to their 5.5 sails as speeds dropped to around 10–12kph. Despite the lighter breeze from the north-northeast, competitors made the most of the challenging conditions, with plenty of close racing and a few getting bogged in softer sand near the water’s edge.

Saturday brought similar winds early on before strengthening later in the day, prompting many to swap back to their 4m sails. Sixteen races were completed over the two main days, with plenty of tight finishes and friendly rivalry. The event concluded Sunday with a trophy presentation, nibbles, and drinks at the caravan park, celebrating another successful regatta filled with skill, camaraderie, and coastal adventure.

Mackay’s rising sprint star Ethan Hill is proving that dedication and determination can overcome any obstacle. At just 15, he’s already represented Queensland and North Queensland at the nation’s top athletics competitions, with more milestones on the horizon.

Ethan’s impressive track record includes bronze medals in the 4x100m relay at both the 2022 School Sport Nationals in Brisbane and the 2025 Australian Athletics Championships in Perth. Later this year, he’ll again don the North Queensland colours at the Australian All Schools Championships in Melbourne.

His journey began humbly in 2021 at a school athletics carnival, where a natural burst of speed first caught attention. After an early setback with a broken wrist, Ethan returned in 2022, joined the Sleak Squad under coach Dave Lester, and quickly rose to national level within months.

The following year tested his resilience when a serious leg injury required surgery and a long recovery. Despite being told his running career might be over, Ethan persevered through rehab and was back on the track by the end of 2024, and stronger than ever. He’s since clocked impressive personal bests of 11.43 seconds (100m), 22.76 (200m), and 52.53 (400m).

Most recently, he competed in the Cathy Freeman Challenge, using the event to fine-tune his form ahead of Melbourne’s national championships in December.

While he’s proud of what he’s achieved through local training, Ethan said regional athletes would greatly benefit from more opportunities to train and develop their skills closer to home.

“It’d be good to have more help with training and more opportunities for athletes to develop,” he said.

“A lot of us don’t get to move from here, but to perform better we often have to go to the bigger cities, and that’s hard on a lot of families.”

Ethan’s success highlights the growing call from parents and coaches for more pathways to ensure the next generation of athletes can rise from regional tracks to national stadiums.

With the region producing standout talents across multiple sports, parents within the sporting community are calling for upgrades and better resources to help local competitors reach their full potential close to home.

Ethan’s sights are now set on the 2025 Australian Championships in Brisbane and the Oceania Championships in Darwin, marking the next step in an already inspiring career.

Although a day early, the students of the Northern Beaches Karate Club brought the spirit of Halloween to their regular training night.

A red carpet parade of spooks, ghouls, skeletons, Dracula attacking his Dad, a chicken with a police officer on board along with a familiar-looking president, set the scene for a fun night.

Class continued in costume with traditional training, punching bags, breaking boards, breath training and games.   All agreed it was a perfect way to celebrate a Karate Halloween.

The Northern Beaches Karate club runs classes in school term on Tuesday and Thursday held at the Bucasia Community Hall in Wallace Avenue.   Sensei Helle also holds Self Defence courses for women and girls with the next session planned for February 2026.

#BatsOutForBen
It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge the tragic passing of 17-year-old Victorian cricketer Ben Austin, who lost his life this week doing what he loved most — playing cricket.

In honour of Ben, and to stand alongside the wider cricket community, our junior players wore black armbands and observed a Minute’s Silence before every match on Saturday. We also joined the #BatsOutForBenny tribute — a moving show of support to celebrate Ben’s life and stand with his family, friends, and teammates during this heartbreaking time.

These gestures are our way of showing respect for a young life gone far too soon, and a reminder of the strong bond that connects the cricket family, no matter where we play.
A sincere thank-you to all players and families for showing such unity and kindness.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Ben’s loved ones, his teammates, and the entire Victorian cricket community.

How hot has it been here in paradise! Thankfully, our wonderful cover has made things much cooler for all the bowlers — though the bowling itself has been sizzling hot.

Tuesday afternoon social bowls saw 14 bowlers vying for the prize. They should have realised that Tony “Take the Money” Whitehorn was playing, and teamed with Dawn Dowell, the pair won convincingly with 21 points.

On Wednesday afternoon, social bowls produced another brilliant performance, with skipper Arthur McManus and Alan Pershouse in startling form, easily outplaying the rest of the field.

Results from Wednesday night’s Business House Bowls will be updated next week.

Friday morning’s Endeavour Foundation group is really progressing well, with Cathy, Kiara, Michael, Jett, and Dion all showing great promise. With continued practice, they could be representing Airlie Beach at the Queensland Disability Games in 2026.

Friday afternoon saw more than 20 bowlers arrive from the Christian College for lessons. Madeline Riley, Eliana Langshore, Shannon Matthews, Ryker Boers, Pazel Davis, and Ocean Houlding all showed excellent potential and could easily represent the Whitsundays at the 2026 Queensland Schools competition with further training. Special mention must also go to Taylor Fairhall and Alannah Jackson — keep up the great work! It would be wonderful to see the Christian College representing our area.

Saturday morning’s Scroungers competition is nearing its conclusion. This week’s first-round winners were Greg Fennell, Tony Whitehorn, Merve Stewart, and Des Ballance. In the final, Tony Whitehorn defeated Greg Fennell and now sits on minus 10 points alongside Andy McDougall. Maureen Barnard won the B Grade final.

On Sunday afternoon, 24 bowlers took to the greens. We welcomed Brett Fleming, formerly from Hervey Bay Bowling Club, as a new member of our little club, and it was great to see Alma Zaldivar back from the Philippines, Tony Kelly back from illness, and Liz McManus return to the greens.

The dice was rolled by Nilo Ballance, landing on five points for a win and ends won. The day’s winners were the team of skipper Margo Stanley, lead Eric Barnard, and second Brett Fleming — well done to all!

It’s been another exciting week for the Cannonvale Cannons, with our swimmers making waves both locally and on the national stage.

First up, a huge congratulations to Eloise Chegwidden, who proudly represented Queensland at the School Sport Australia Swimming Championships in Ballarat, Victoria. Despite the freezing temperatures, hail, and storms, Eloise powered through with incredible focus and determination.

On Day One, she placed tenth in the country in the 100m Breaststroke and helped her Queensland teammates to a sixth-place finish in the 4x50m Medley Relay, swimming the breaststroke leg and posting another PB. Then came her pet event, the 50m Breaststroke, where Eloise clocked a 1.44-second PB in her heat to qualify for the final. Showing true Cannon spirit, she went even faster in the final with another 2.20-second improvement, finishing in a time of 41.60 to earn fifth place in Australia. What an outstanding achievement — congratulations, Eloise!

Meanwhile, 29 of our Cannons travelled to Townsville to compete at the 2025 Gardens Open Long Course Transition Meet. The team delivered fantastic results, with a heap of PBs, several new long course state qualifying times, and plenty of team spirit throughout the weekend.

Saturday ended on a high, with the 8–11 Years Girls 200m Freestyle Relay claiming a silver medal to cap off an exciting day of racing.

We’re also proud to acknowledge our swimmers recognised as part of the SNQ State Squad — Jacob Bell, Zach Trefz, Tyler Bennett, Nelson Malady, Declan Dichiera, Andie Reynolds, Jax Clayworth, and Thomas Ganter — and a special congratulations to Tora Delac, selected for the National Squad for the 2025/26 season.

Go Cannons!

It was a week to remember for Mackay’s middle-distance athletes, with members of The Rules of Running squad returning from the Queensland School Sport Track and Field Championships in Townsville with an incredible medal haul.

Held from October 13 to 19, the state championships brought together some of the best young talent from across Queensland, with Mackay’s representatives proving they are a force to be reckoned with on the track and in the field.

The Mackay-based Rules of Running squad, coached and trained locally, recorded an outstanding 17 state medals in total, including nine gold, seven silver, and one bronze. The team also achieved 12 personal bests (PBs), one season best (SB), and an impressive 40.5 seconds of combined PB improvements, along with one new state record.

In total, 11 athletes represented the squad, including two competitors in the 10–12 years division and nine in the 13–19 years division.

Among the standout performances was Shailee Mewha, who earned her first two state silver medals in the 800m (PB) and 1500m events.

Millie Groom impressed with two silver medals in the 3000m and 2000m steeplechase, clocking a huge 18-second PB in the latter. She also posted PBs in the 800m (7th place) and 1500m (9th place).

August Cole claimed his first state bronze medal in the 2000m steeplechase with a four-second PB and continued his consistent form with PBs in the 1500m (7th), 800m (7th), and a solid 12th place in the 400m.

Keira Caban showed her remarkable all-round talent, taking home two state gold medals in the long jump and 1500m, as well as three silver medals in the shot put, 800m, and 400m — earning two state championship titles along the way.

Ayla Moon delivered a dominant performance with three gold medals in the 400m, 800m, and 1500m, all accompanied by PBs. Her record-breaking run in the 800m added to her trio of state titles and confirmed her as one of the standout performers of the meet.

Meanwhile, Toby Rule capped off an extraordinary campaign by securing four gold medals and four state championship titles in the 800m, 1500m, 3000m steeplechase, and 5000m.

The results mark one of the most successful outings yet for The Rules of Running squad, whose athletes continue to make Mackay proud on the state stage.

With hard work, dedication, and outstanding coaching behind them, the future looks bright for Mackay’s next generation of track and field stars.

Mackay Men Dominate In Toowoomba

Mackay was proudly represented by two men’s teams at the State Softball Championships in Toowoomba last weekend, with both sides delivering outstanding performances on the diamond.

The B Men’s team, coached by Steven Baxter and Allen James, competed in the Queensland Cup division and impressed with several close games and strong teamwork. Pitcher Cameron Baxter led from the mound with solid form, supported by Emmett Counsell and Graeme Love behind the plate. After a weekend of determined play, the team secured an impressive third place out of 11 teams.

Meanwhile, Mackay’s Open Men’s team, coached by Murray Rivers and John Nash Snr, faced tough conditions after storms delayed play, forcing an early 7am start for the knockout rounds. Despite the setback, the men battled hard — first defeating Toowoomba and then Redlands Green — to earn their place in the grand final against Rockhampton.

With regular catcher Andrew Baxter sidelined due to injury, James Allen stepped up and delivered a stellar performance behind the plate, catching for Liam Potts, who was recently named WSBC Softballer of the Year. In a thrilling finale, Jaxon Maluga smashed an automatic home run with a runner on base, sealing a 2–0 victory for Mackay and the Open Men’s State Championship title. Jaxon was named MVP of the grand final and will travel to Brisbane this weekend for Under-18 Queensland squad training.

Congratulations also go to Riley James and James Allen, who were both selected for the Patriots squad.

A huge well done to all players, coaches, scorers, and managers for representing Mackay with pride and passion.
