‍

Nine competitors from the Northern Beaches Shito-Ryu Karate Dojo returned home with an impressive 29 medals after competing at the Traditional Japanese Karate National Championships in Adelaide recently.

The team featured a diverse mix of athletes, including a 10- and 12-year-old, three teenagers and four adults. Sensei Helle competed while also serving as a judge at the national event.

For some competitors it was their first ever tournament and first medal, while others stepped up into new and far more challenging divisions.

‍

After months of intense training and weekends dedicated to refining their skills, each team member demonstrated strong technique and commitment to their martial art. With Sensei Helle also working as a judge, the dojo maintains a high training standard that was clearly reflected in the team’s results.

Preparation continued even after arriving in Adelaide, with athletes taking part in beach training sessions and visiting a local dojo as guests.

‍

The results proved to be a family affair.

Brothers Nathanial and Aksel competed alongside their mum, Sensei Helle, while friend Logan secured two gold, one silver and one bronze medal.

‍

Tim claimed one gold and one bronze medal, while Nicky earned one gold, one silver and two bronze. 10-year-old Phoenix collected two gold, one silver and one bronze.

Martha celebrated her first ever competition and medal haul with one gold and two bronze, while her son Kaito secured two gold and one bronze.

‍

Following the championships, the team celebrated their achievements by exploring Adelaide and the Barossa Valley.

Sensei Helle reflected on the experience, saying growth happens in the dojo but lifelong bonds are forged on the road.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing, but across the grades there was plenty to celebrate in a spirited weekend of football.

Friday night saw both Divisional Men’s sides impress against Mackay Rangers. Div 2 showed great grit to secure a 3–2 victory, with Kadon Howell opening his account, Chen Quach adding another, and Rale Mudford netting the winner. Div 1 delivered a clinical 5–2 result, highlighted by Hayden Vanderdrift’s second consecutive hat-trick, supported by goals from Jake Flaherty and Nathan Sothmann.

Our women set the tone on Saturday with a determined 3–2 comeback win over Rangers. After falling 2–0 behind, Michelle Sothman’s driving finish ignited belief before Sarah Chilton scored twice to cap a resilient performance.

The FQPL Men enjoyed a dominant home round against Wanderers. The U23s ran rampant in an 8–2 win, with Kai Savy bagging a hat-trick alongside goals from Pepe Perea, Sebastian Shand, Sam Frumento (2) and Ben Seago. The Premiers followed with an equally emphatic 8–1 victory, Ethan Rose leading the charge with a hat-trick. Further goals from Thomas Farnsworth, Reef Peel, Max O’Keefe and Mikey Nash sealed a commanding result.

Our U14/15 squads showed strong character on Sunday. U14/15 Div 1 fought back to claim a 6–2 win over Dolphins, while the U14/15 FQPL side battled hard but went down 2–1 despite a late penalty from Nick Moranino.

The U13s also impressed, with a solid defensive display from the back line the U13 FQPL team securing a composed 2–0 win against Country United, with goals from Jace Hickey and Connor Miller. The U13 Div 1 put in a strong effort but conceded a 5–3 loss against Magpies Black. 

A weekend showcasing resilience, growth and exciting football across every age group.

What began as a picture-perfect Whitsunday morning turned into a test of patience for sailors competing in the Abell Point Yacht Club’s annual Warri Cup yacht race on Sunday 12 April.

‍

With bright blue skies overhead and calm seas across Pioneer Bay, the fleet gathered for the scheduled 11am start off Airlie Beach.  While the weather looked ideal for spectators, competitors quickly realised the day would be a challenging one as the wind refused to play.

‍

Instead of the usual lively charge across the course, yachts found themselves drifting slowly in glassy conditions.  Some boats barely moved at all and at times the gentle current made it appear as though they were sailing backwards.

‍

Race organisers and competitors remained hopeful that a breeze might fill in and allow the race to continue, but the Whitsundays had other plans.  As the hours passed with little change in conditions, several yachts began to retire from the race.

By around 1.30pm, with still no meaningful wind and concern that boats could be out on the course well into the evening, the difficult decision was made to abandon the race. While some sailors were keen to persevere, others were relieved to turn for home.

‍

“You can’t keep everyone happy in a yacht race,” organisers said afterwards. “But sometimes the weather simply doesn’t cooperate.”

‍

Despite the lack of racing, the Warri Cup remains one of the Abell Point Yacht Club’s most anticipated events and a highlight on the local sailing calendar.

‍

The race is now rescheduled for a re-run on Sunday 24 May 2026 and hopefully the wind decides to join the party this time.

Wednesday the Proserpine Bowls Club had thirteen people for bowls and Graham Thrupp decided that it  was the ideal time to give his new bowls a practice so that he could start to work out exactly what they do without the pressures of playing in a game.  This always a great way to reacquaint ourselves with just what can be done with our bowls.

‍

In Social Bowls John Anderson, Henny Tattam and Trevor Parsons defeated Alen Sanderson, Arthur Griffith and Mike Harrison 18 - 12, coming from behind by scoring a 6 in the 16th end to edge ahead leading into the last end with a 2 shotmargin.  We all know that in the last end if you are behind, it's no good playing safe, you must go for shots.

‍

In the other game of Social Bowls on Wednesday, Nolwenn and Thomas visitors from France were introduced to bowls for the first time.  Nolwenn, Barry Zillmann and Heather Brown defeated Thomas, Mary Hedgelong and Philip Brown 30 - 6.

‍

In Social Bowls on Sunday, Thomas, Arthur Griffith and Heather Brown defeated Nolwenn, Philip Brown and Trevor Parsons 24 - 14.  This was a much closer game than the scores indicate.

‍

In the other game of Social Bowls on Sunday, Alen Sanderson, Henny Tattam and Mark Holmes defeated Graham Thrupp, Bruce Uhe and Mike Harrison 24 - 18.

We are so privileged to live in the Whitsundays, with all the magic in the air living in Paradise.

‍

However, on ANZAC Day we reflect on how lucky we really are. We are grateful for members of our little bowls club who are proud to do their little part for our community and the mourn many people that died to keep our country safe.

A busy week started on Tuesday where the first place went to the team of skipper Mark Mawson with second Di Dobbins and lead Sue Walker -- 26-12. Second place went to the pairs team of Tony ( take the money) Whitehorn with Dawn Dowell -- 23-18.

‍

Wednesday afternoon Social Bowls saw 20 bowlers vying for first prize and this time Tony Whitehorn took the money with a first-class display with pairs partner Alan Pershouse -- 36-19 .

After the games, a dice roll determined that the lowest winning score would take the prize. This went to the team skipped by Phil O’Brien, with Tony Kelly as second—who delivered a particularly strong performance—and Sue Dakin at lead. They secured a 23–7 win.  

‍

There was also an A Division singles match between Warren Mills and John Fielding, with John narrowly winning 25–24 in a highly competitive and accurate game.

Andie Reynolds at Whitsunday SC Meet

‍

Cannonvale Cannons swimmers made a powerful statement at the Whitsunday Short Course Transition Meet in Collinsville last weekend, with a small but mighty team of six delivering exceptional results.

With the Collinsville pool recently converted from 33 metres to a 25-metre format, this marked only the second official meet in its new configuration. The change has opened the door for a host of new pool records, and the Cannons were quick to make their mark.

‍

Five of the six Cannons swimmers claimed pool records across the weekend, led by an outstanding performance from Harry Chegwidden. Competing in the 8 years boys age group, Harry secured an incredible eight pool records across all 25m and 50m strokes – Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly.

Eloise Chegwidden was equally impressive in the 10 years girls division, achieving nine pool records. Her results spanned all 25m and 50m events, along with the 100m Individual Medley, showcasing her versatility across all strokes.

‍

‍

Mackenzie Bennett (11 years girls) added to the tally with multiple records in the 25m and 50m Freestyle and Butterfly, 50m Backstroke, and 100m Individual Medley. Andie Reynolds (13 years girls) also made her mark, breaking records in the 50m Breaststroke, 100m Freestyle and 100m Individual Medley, while Dylan Reynolds (16 years girls) claimed a new record in the 25m Butterfly.

In an impressive display of dominance, Eloise Chegwidden, Harry Chegwidden, Tyler Bennett, Mackenzie Bennett and Andie Reynolds each secured first place in every event they entered.

‍

Looking ahead, a larger contingent of Cannons swimmers will travel to Mackay this week to compete in the North Queensland Games, the largest multi-sport competition in regional Australia. The club looks forward to building on this strong momentum.

Proserpine Whitsunday Rugby Union Club Women's A Grade team produced a commanding display on Saturday, defeating Moranbah Bulls 48-5 at Leprechaun Park during the special ANZAC Round clash.

The reigning 2025 premiers showed exactly why they remain the benchmark of the competition, crossing repeatedly in an impressive attacking performance.  Chelsie Jury starred with four tries, while Shirley Luke added a double. Emily Guthrie and Lily Sainsbury also added tries, with Shakaya Costello converting four attempts to complete a polished team effort.

‍

The Bulls showed determination throughout the contest, with Aroha Heta scoring their sole try of the match, and their first points of the season.

ANZAC Day at the Brahmans’ home ground was something special this year, as the club hosted its first-ever ANZAC Round.

From the custom jerseys honouring Proserpine’s history to the moving ceremony led by Proserpine RSL President Dave, it was a day to remember. The crowd joined in for the Australian and New Zealand national anthems, while the sound of bagpipes and the bugle echoed across Les Stagg Oval.

‍

A record crowd packed the grounds, creating an electric atmosphere as the Brahmans faced the always tough Mackay Brothers.

The Under 20s showed plenty of effort but were outmatched by a fast and well-drilled Brothers side, going down 42-0. Despite the result, strong defensive efforts from local Braith Tetley and NZ import Somè Wulf, kept the team fighting. Coach Zach Hoffman will no doubt have the side ready to respond against Sarina.

‍

Reserve Grade delivered one of their best performances in recent years, pushing Brothers all the way in a narrow 20–12 loss. Captain Kuta Pollard and Lochie Wake were standouts in a game that had the crowd fully engaged and roaring. 

A Grade directly followed the ANZAC ceremony and matched the occasion with a high-quality contest. Facing last year’s grand finalists, the Brahmans went down 20–12 in a thrilling game. Early pressure from Brothers proved costly, but Darcy Turner’s try sparked the home side and set the tone for the rest of the game, where the Men battled hard for their local supporters. Setting a standard for the season ahead.

‍

Off the field, the club also celebrated selection honours ahead of the upcoming Foley Shield this weekend, Head coach Harley Bateup has been named assistant coach under Kane Linnett, while local women’s footy standout Eddy Cates will assist with the women’s side. Several Brahmans players are also expected to earn representative selection.

‍

The Brahmans now turn their attention to Round 3, travelling to face the Sarina Crocs on Sunday, May 10, with the Under 20s kicking off at 10am, followed by a very hotly anticipated Brahmans A Grade Women’s season opener at 11:30am and then senior men’s fixtures to end the day.

‍

The Whitsunday Sea Eagles had the honour of hosting the 2026 ANZAC Day Round against the Moranbah Bulldogs, and what a special day it was. From commemorative ANZAC Gurnsey’s to a moving recitation of The Ode and live performance of the Last Post, the atmosphere was truly memorable. Playing under brand new lights in an epic late-afternoon clash only added to the occasion, making it a day to remember.

‍

The Sea Eagles fully embraced the ANZAC spirit, playing with pride and purpose to honour the occasion. With the largest crowd turnout in the Club’s history and four wins from five games, the day was an outstanding success.  

The U13s set the tone early, bringing intense pressure and effort in a great contest. A dominant second quarter saw the Sea Eagles pile on five goals in five minutes while keeping the Bulldogs scoreless, securing a 53–28 win.

‍

‍

The U15s followed on from last week with another impressive performance, playing with intensity and backing each other all game. Holding the Bulldogs scoreless in the second and fourth quarters, they proved their strength as a team, finishing with a convincing 70–12 victory.

‍

The U17s team, despite an unfortunate loss, fought hard all day and displayed the ANZAC spirit in their efforts right to the end. With a final score of 38-70, they now focus on their next game and continue to work hard as team during the week.

‍

The Senior Women celebrated their first win of the season in a great afternoon clash on their home deck. The Women were fierce at the contest all game, not once letting their effort drop and were determined to claim the win. Fighting with pride and spirit until the very end, the Women claimed victory with a final score of 33-19.  

‍

The Senior Men held the honour of playing an epic nighttime game under the Clubs brand new lights. With a roaring crowd and the ANZAC message at the forefront of their minds, the Men did not disappoint. From the opening bounce they were hungry for the ball and driven towards getting the win for the hometown crowd. Wrapping up an amazing day, the final score was a dominant 73-22 win at home.
