Enquiries and court hire to or Maleny Little Athletics Good morning everyone, Just a quick reminder that there is no competition this Saturday. As it is both the end of school holidays and a long weekend, we felt that considering how many kids are likely to turn up, we would give everyone an extra days break. We will resume on the 11th Oct. Have a great week. Maria - Centre Manager I Corn t believe it..so goes Tony Grieg s famous commentary. There was plenty of action, live commentary and drama for Maleny s Hill at Saturday s Charity Cricket Match. An entertaining afternoon of sport, entertainment and fund-raising saw pyjama clad teams once again playing in support of the work of Maleny s Peter Oliver for the Lung Foundation. Celebrity XI openers Captain Andrew Powell and Qld Dep Premier Jeff Seeney strode purposefully to the crease, hoping to set a cracking good pace. The pollies showed they are no slouches, with top scorer Local Maleny District Sports & Recreation Club Inc Sports Results for 29th September, 2014 Govt. Minister David Crisafulli on 28 not out. Chasing 109 runs to win, Maleny Mauler s opener Mickey Oliver showed how it s done, hitting a 4 and 6 in his innings. Boundaries, catches, close calls and injuries, the match had it all. During his stint as keeper, My Seeney copped an injury but was quickly escorted to Maleny Hospital (thank you Jared Ashcroft) who returned him, with a few stitches, to play on. The Maleny Maulers won the game in the last over, proudly defending the Golden Thong Trophy. Better luck next year Andrew. Continued on Page2 For more information visit our web site:

10 Maleny District Sports & Recreation Club Inc TS Centaur farewells AB McKiernan! Cadet AB Mitchell McKiernan enjoyed a weekend sail on the Queensland Tall Ship, South Passage, with fellow Cadets from TS Centaur, TS Onslow and NTS Gympie before heading to HMAS Cerberus to commence his career in the Royal Australian Navy. Mitchell will spend 12 weeks at HMAS Cerberus in Victoria completing his Recruit Training and then expects to be posted to either Perth or Sydney in the role of Boatswains Mate. His Grandfather s 20 year career in the RAAF inspired Mitchell to look to the Defence Force for his own career finally deciding that the Navy was the best option for him. The knowledge and training that he gained whilst a Cadet at TS Centaur gives him a head start for his Recruit Training. Good Luck Mitchell and hope that you enjoy your new career. TS Centaur provides the opportunity for the youth of Maleny and surrounds to acquire skills in leadership, self-discipline and teamwork by taking part in sailing, power boating, kayaking, bush walking, rifle shooting, drum band, parade activities, organised camps and many other activities.
