THERE were old and new faces in the Beerwah Masters team’s first swim meet for the year, but nothing has changed in terms of quality performance.

With established swimmers Lene, Davina, Sam and Kylie, and new additions, Angela and team coach Courtney, each swimmer placed at least third in each swimmer’s races.

Lene came first in all her races and broke the Queensland 100m Individual Medley record by three seconds, and broke national 100m butterfly record.

Sam came first in three breaststroke races and second place in the 25m and 50m freestyle, while Kylie won the 25m butterfly and came second in the 25m and 50m freestyle and 25m backstroke.

included some racing in a pool for the first time. “I’m proud of everybody it’s not an easy thing to do, especially because we are older…every time it’s nerve-racking and scary to go and do these events so everyone has to overcome their nerves,” she said.

“We are especially proud of Angela because she has never swum a race in her life, so she came and did her first race which was really cool.”

Cornock said she had hoped the team would have been bigger on the day, but noted that the first swim meet of the year had a great atmosphere.

“A couple of ladies couldn’t make it so we were hoping for a bigger team but there were a couple who couldn’t get there on the day but still pretty strong, really happy with that,” she said.

“It was an excellent atmosphere and really well run, everyone’s always so friendly at these things,” she said.

It was really fun and we always ending up chatting and making new friends.”

Under 13s are 2023 premiers

THE undefeated Landsborough Cricket

Landsborough batted first, scoring 83 runs. In a tight finish, Caloundra were closing in on the score, but two wickets in the third last over of the game sealed the victory for the Loggers.

Committee member, Dave Mcintyre, said it was an exciting match and that the club was proud of the squad - the only premiership-winning team for the club this season.

“We are very proud, it’s been a long time since we won a flag in juniors, a few of our other teams made the finals like the Division four men’s team, but the under 13’s were the only premier team,” he said.

Dave said it was a great team effort, with everyone contributing to the end result, both in the final and throughout the entire season.

In the final itself, Ryder Stelzer scored the second most runs in the innings with 13 runs before he backed up with two wickets for just seven runs.

“James Fowler was highest scorer in Landsborough’s innings, hitting 24 runs not out,” Dave said.

The winning team was made up of both 13-year-olds and 11-year-olds, proving that age does not matter when it comes to cricket.
