Cricket Australia (CA) has announced the 2025 National Indigenous Cricket Championships (NICC) will be held in Mackay from April 2-7, 2025. 
 
The decision to hold the Championships on Yuwibara Country in Mackay follows recent discussions with State and Territory Governments about the opportunity to collaborate with CA about hosting events and national tournaments over the next seven seasons. 
 
The NICC was held on Arrernte Country in Mparntwe, Alice Springs for eight years. This move aligns with CA’s new Reconciliation Action Plan and the aim to sustainably strengthen opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to play, attend and follow cricket. 
 
The 2025 Championships will be contested at Great Barrier Reef Arena and Harrup Park which has become a regular venue for international cricket, including two of the three CommBank Women’s T20Is between Australia and New Zealand played in September 2024 and the Men’s A-Series match between Australia and India later this month. 
 
Queensland Cricket’s support of the NICC will further strengthen their commitment to their own Reconciliation Action Plan as well as supporting existing programs including the Eddie Gilbert Program, Western Rivers Cup (Toowoomba), Stan Albert Sheild (Rockhampton), Rainforest Cup (Tully), Phillip Minniecon Cup (Cairns) and T20 Harmony Shield. 
 
This decision was made in close collaboration with NT Cricket, CA’s National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cricket Advisory Group and following feedback from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players who have expressed a desire to connect with country, cultures and communities in other regions.  
  
Joel Morrison Executive General Manager, Events & Operations said, “It is exciting that the National Indigenous Cricket Championships will be contested at Great Barrier Reef Arena for the first time this season. 
 
“We are grateful to the Queensland Government, Mackay Regional Council, Harrup Park and Queensland Cricket for their ongoing support in staging significant international and domestic cricket events such as this tournament in Mackay, which is fast becoming a regular feature on the Australian cricket calendar. 
 
“We would also like to express our thanks and gratitude to NT Cricket, the Imparja Cup and Alice Springs cricket communities, the Northern Territory Government and Alice Springs Town Council for the significant role they have played in growing the NICC since its inception, and greatly enhancing the tournament’s cultural significance and level of on-field competition.”

Mackay put on a show over three exhilarating days as competitors gave it their all at the 2024 North Australian Surf Life Saving Championships. From pool events and beach sprints to relays, flags and thrilling water challenges like the Board, Surf, Ski, and Iron events, athletes showcased extraordinary skill, resilience, and sportsmanship. Competitors ranged from U11s to Masters, each bringing unmatched energy and skill to every event. With sunny skies and perfect conditions, Emu Park Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC) claimed their third consecutive championship win, while Tannum Sands SLSC and Cairns SLSC secured second and third.

Dan Zealand and Anton Zafir from Whitsunday Martial Arts are no newbies to demanding physical challenges that test your mental stamina. In fact, during COVID-19 they completed a Run Challenge where they ran two kilometres every hour for 24 hours. Back then, they did this to raise awareness and money for Men’s mental health.

This year they are once again hosting a Run Challenge, but this time it will be for an epic 36 hours, pushing them further than they’ve ever been pushed before.

Dan jokes that the 24 hour challenge wasn’t hard enough and himself and Anton wanted to up the ante for this event!

The proceeds of this year’s event will be evenly split with 50 per cent of money raised going to ‘Veterans MMA’ charity, a non-for-profit organisation based in Sunshine Coast, that support veterans return to an active and happy lifestyle in their post military life.

The other 50 per cent will go to funding two members of the gym who are participating in the 2024 World Jiu-Jitsu Championship in Las Vegas.

One of them is 15-year-old Noah Conyers and Dan said he is inspired by his dedication.

“He's a very gifted 15-year-old athlete,” said Dan.

“He has been training with us for several years now, and he gets involved with the adults’ classes, he's sort of surpassed all of the kids from youth classes and he gives a lot of the adults some troubles as well!

“Noah is an absolute pleasure of a student, he assistant coaches the youths’ classes, so, he gives back to the gym and it's an absolute pleasure to be able to help him get over there and do this.”

The Run Challenge will be extremely difficult but Dan and Anton believe that people are a lot stronger than they think they are, and they will complete the run together.

The 36-hour Run Challenge is still open for participants and they will shortly be opening hour time slots, for people that want to run but do not think they will be able to complete the full challenge.

What: 36-hour Run Challenge
Where: Whitsunday Martial Arts
When: 8-10 November (7pm Friday - 7am Sunday)

The Proserpine team of Shane Kinnear, Scott Hamilton and Wayne Handley played amazing bowls all weekend to come out on top in all highly contested Champion of Champion 2 Bowl Triples games at Marian. 

Saturday afternoon they defeated Northern Beaches 25 - 15; Sunday morning was a close one against Seaforth with an extra end being required to break the deadlock, Proserpine eventually winning 22 - 21 and then in the final against home club Marian, it was another fiercely contested match.

At the time of writing, I'm not aware of what the score was, only that it was close all the way through and Proserpine ended up this year's winners. 

In Social Bowls on Wednesday, John Anderson, Mary Hedgelong and Philip Brown defeated Pat Bownds, Alan Pershouse and Sandy Daffara 24 - 13;  Alen Sanderson, Arthur Griffith, Bruce Uhe and Mark Mawson defeated Alen Sanderson, Jim Bownds, Dave Meiklejohn and Heather Brown 21 - 12.

On Sunday social bowls Philip Brown and Sandy Daffara defeated Alen Sanderson and Mike Harrison 25 - 23; Bruce Uhe and Heather Brown defeated Arthur Griffith and Peter Lawton 28 - 23.

Good Bowling and great luck to Nathaniel Watts and Gavin Noonan who will be competing in the Champion of Champion B Pairs at North Mackay this coming weekend.

Men’s Competition: Triples Barry Beel, Kevin Daniels and Kennedy Whitton defeated Stumpy Adams, Peter Hinschen and Greg Colquhoun.

Sunday social bowls winners were Jim Quod and Kevin Jewell. You learn at bowls to never give up and these chaps were 19 shots behind going into afternoon tea and staged a miraculous come back to win the game by one shot against Shane Dykstra and Kennedy Whitton.  

Other wins were Merle Elphinstone, Irene Laird and Penny Warren who defeated Bron Tolcher, Lindy Suann and Albi Vigar. Robyn Stitt and Gavin Charles defeated Dot Slater Isobel Wheeler. The jackpot did not go off.

The Whitsunday Swimming Club held its annual LC Transition meet on October 19th & 20th at Proserpine Swimming Pool.
170 swimmers travelled from afar, including Townsville, Charters Towers, Moranbah, Mackay, Mirani, Bowen, Cannonvale & of course, our own Whitsunday Swimmers.
There was two days of fast racing, friendly banter, many rubber ducks won, and great memories made.
The Whitsunday Swimming Clubs own swimmers had some spectacular PB’s, A grade upgrades and Mystery Relay Wins. The cheering and support all our swimmers gave each other was heart warming.
Well done to our newest club members, Summer, Jack and Vicky on their first carnival. Amazing swims and we think you are going to fit right in with our club.
This year’s mystery relay was won by Charlie – Cannonvale Cannons, Liam – Mirani, Sophie – Gardens & Mae – Whitsunday. All swimmers in all heats raced spectacularly and to hear the cheering from the spectators was wonderful.
Thank you to all our parents, grandparents and other volunteers who helped us set up, pack up and run the meet. Thank you to Swimming North Queensland officials for you ongoing support of our club and carnival.
Thank you to Aquatic Rush for ensuring your facility was ready to show off to the swimming world. We are very fortunate to have such a great swimming facility in our region and one that supports our club so much.

Pioneer Valley young gun Ben Valmadre has opened the Mackay Junior Cricket season in style.

The talented sixteen-year-old cracked a majestic 53 in the Valley’s pulsating five-run victory over the Mackay Magpies White X1 in Under 17s action at Roy Trevaskis Oval.

Valmadre faced 54 deliveries and clouted six boundaries in Pioneer’s tally of 8-123 - adding 67 runs for the third wicket with promising number four Jacob Williams (22).

In reply the Magpies (8-118) fell agonisingly short despite top knocks from opener George Fortescue (41) and Thomas Rourke (26).

In the other fixture Walkerston (8-182) outclassed Magpies Black (8-93) at Cameron Oval.

The Roosters top order paved the way with rising number three Marcus Sammut peeling off an impressive 54 off 40 balls with eight boundaries plus a six.

Sammut was ably supported by opener Ayden Loader (37), Ricky Deguara (33 not out) and Ben Garner (25).

Soham Rana top scored for the Blacks with 24 runs off 33 balls while Cameron Johnson and Brodie Garnham each scored 20.

The Roosters attack found their rhythm with Marshall Maher (2-7), Israel Davies (2-24) and Tyler Morris (2-25) the chief destroyers.

Mackay Magpies White (7-149) downed the Blacks (6-136) in a tight contest at the Magpies Sports Ground.

Lachlan Anderson (39) and the promising Fortescue (33) led the way for the Whites with Rourke (2-1) and Fortescue (1-13 off four) applying the pressure with the ball.

All-rounder Rana turned in a fine bowling performance to finish with 4-24 off five overs with quick Zachary Pace nabbing 2-19 off 24 deliveries.

‍

Mackay Magpies and Walkerston Roosters remain the only undefeated teams after the early rounds of the 2024-25 Mackay Cricket Association Poole Cup first-grade series.

The Magpies top the table on 29 competition points – one clear of the Roosters (28) after both clubs posted three consecutive one day victories in a cracking start to a new campaign.

Classy knocks from opener Rhys McBride (54 not out) and Adam Zurvas (39) steered the Magpies (2-109) to a resounding eight wicket win over Norths Devils (106) in opening round action at Jack Lancaster Oval.

McBride cracked ten boundaries and a six and shared an 80-run second wicket partnership with the talented Zurvas.

The high flying Magpies followed it up with emphatic wins over Souths Sharks and Pioneer Valley to zoom into top spot.

Andrew Borg grabbed 5-10 in a stunning seven over spell to help skittle the Sharks for 121 before Jaxn Sign blasted 75 not out off 35 balls with twelve boundaries and three sixes as the Magpies (4-122) cruised to victory.

Unbeaten knocks from Conor Bryant (44 not out) and Lucas van der Merwe (40 not out) piloted the Magpies (6-145) to a four wicket victory over Pioneer Valley (144) in third round action at George Gorrie Oval.

Walkerston have proved just as impressive with dominant victories over Brothers, Pioneer Valley and Norths Devils.
Half centuries from Chris Mceldowney (82 not out), Jakob Frerichs (70) and Luke Jackson (62) lifted the Roosters (6-280) to a comprehensive win over Brothers (132) with paceman Mackenzie Ralphs snaring 3-38, Jackson (2-22) and Liam Newbery (2-37).

Young gun Etienne Pretorius smashed 144 off 103 balls as Walkerston (5-260) toppled Pioneer Valley (155) with the talented teenager thumping nine sixes and thirteen boundaries in a superb knock.

Pretorius shared a big opening stand with Joel McFarlane (46) before Adrian Young grabbed 6-30 off eight overs with the ball.

Tom Vandenberg (78 not out) and Luke Jackson (69) posted a sixth wicket union of 141 as the Roosters (6-237) defeated the Devils (9-141) with wicket doubles to Ralphs, Young and Mceldowney.

Queensland Under 16s schoolboy representative Jack Law cracked a power-laden 94 with fourteen boundaries and Cameron Tomerini (90 not out) for Brothers (4-248) in their loss to Norths (7-252).

The promising colts featured in a third wicket partnership of 130 before Chris Day (65) and Kerrod Tortora (44 not out) guided the Devils to victory.

Mackay brothers James and Michael Mogford are making waves in the Transportable Shade Sheds SXS Championship, currently sitting in the number one spot with just one race remaining in the season. After finishing second in the 2023 Australian SXS Championship, they are determined to improve their standing at the upcoming Kalgoorlie Desert Race, taking place from October 24 to 27.
James takes the wheel while Michael navigates for the Moggy’s Racing team, which is also third overall in the Australian Offroad Championship. This position is particularly impressive, considering they’re competing against a range of sophisticated vehicles from other classes.
“It’s a huge deal for an SXS to be in third place, especially competing against Australia’s best driving cars,” James said.
The focus for the Mogfords is on their own class in the SXS Championship, even as they eye a potential outright win in the 2024 BFGoodrich Motorsport Australia Off Road Championship (AORC).
“Our concentration is to ensure that we survive the race,” James said.
“We want to put it in a good position and get a podium finish.
James’s journey into SXS racing began with a background in off-road motorbike racing and go-karting. “They said, ‘with age comes a cage!’” he laughed. He decided to enter the sport after purchasing a vehicle and racing for the first time in 2022.
The season is made up of five races, with the Finke Desert Race recognised as the toughest.
“The logistics are challenging—it’s in Alice Springs, and you have to camp down at the finish line and race back the next day,” James explained.
“The biggest challenge with off-road racing is simply surviving the race, given the punishment the car endures.”
He knows the risks firsthand, having broken his collarbone last year due to the forces involved in rolling the car.
As they prepare for the Kalgoorlie Desert Race, James is a mix of excited and cautious.
“If we win this weekend, it means we’re Australian champions. But we want to survive the race too.”
Competing in such a harsh environment poses unique challenges, but the team is well-prepared.
Training involves utilising a test track on their property, where they spend significant time preparing their vehicle. Each race requires around 50 to 60 man-hours for preparation, a task handled by James, Michael, and their pit crew chief, Perry Hunn.
Looking to the future, James mentioned, “We’re hoping to have a new car ready for next season, similar to the one we have now but a newer model.”
Before heading into the final race of the season, James took a moment to thank their sponsors, acknowledging their critical support in pursuing the Australian title.  Platinum Sponsors: Transportable Shade Sheds Australia and Infrabuild Steel Centre Mackay – Duragal; Gold Sponsors: Metroll, Barrier Reef Pools, The Apex Group as well as silver and bronze sponsors.

“This is a true testament of what surf lifesaving is about in regional Qld and we encourage members of the Mackay community to come and support the volunteers that keep your beaches safe.”
There will be a canteen running downstairs in the Beach Kiosk which will be open for anyone wanting a quick feed on the run and the Surf Club Bistro & Restaurant upstairs for a delicious meal and cold beverage overlooking the best beach view in Mackay.
“We hope to see you at North Aussies 26 – 27th October, Harbour Beach, Mackay!”
