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.
