IN THE COMMUNITY 15<br />

BULLS BRING THE RAIN AND DOLLARS<br />

Reardo’s Rebels were (l-r) Mark Brawne, Justin Sternes, Delissa<br />

Kimmince, Ian Beil, Nathan Reardon, Joe Dawes, Alice Smith,<br />

Matthew Prain, Clayton Arnell, Brent Arnold and Paul Kruger.<br />

When you play a game<br />

of cricket for drought relief,<br />

the last thing you<br />

would think would happen<br />

is that it would be<br />

affected by rain.<br />

But as luck would have<br />

it, rain did decide to fall<br />

for the first time in three<br />

months out at Tara,<br />

300km west of Brisbane,<br />

causing a bit of grief for<br />

the XXXX GOLD <strong>Queensland</strong><br />

Bulls in their<br />

Twenty20 match with local<br />

players.<br />

Being a resourceful<br />

bunch however,<br />

drizabones were donned<br />

and the game went<br />

ahead and a great time<br />

was had by all.<br />

The crowd were treated<br />

to some excellent batting<br />

from the Bulls stars<br />

including Nathan<br />

Reardon, Nick Kruger<br />

and Ben Cutting as well<br />

as Konica Minolta<br />

<strong>Queensland</strong> Fire and<br />

Australian representative<br />

Delissa Kimmince, and<br />

QAS squad member Fran<br />

Whittaker.<br />

Former <strong>Queensland</strong><br />

quick Joe Dawes showed<br />

that he still has a few<br />

tricks up his sleeve with<br />

the ball and recently appointed<br />

QAS coach<br />

Justin Sternes turned<br />

back the clock, gracing<br />

"Phil Bougoure" Oval for<br />

the first time in 10<br />

years, lacking none of<br />

the skills he showed as a<br />

Tara premiership player.<br />

For the record, Reardo's<br />

Rebels got across the<br />

line, just pipping a fast<br />

finishing Kruger's Crusaders.<br />

However, the<br />

real winners on the day<br />

were the landholders of<br />

the Tara District for<br />

whom $2500 was raised,<br />

not to mention the beautiful<br />

rain.<br />

It was due reward for local<br />

cricket administrator<br />

Matthew Prain, who does<br />

a power of work for<br />

cricket and other sports<br />

in the region.<br />

Dalby Mayor Ray Brown and drought worker Graham Muller accept<br />

the $2500 cheque from Nathan Reardon and the QC crew,<br />

while (above) Ben Cutting lets one fly at Alice Smith.
