The Lions representatives are bowler Lachlan Page and wicket keeper-batsman Max Farmer who is in his third season with the strong Sydney club St George.
Currently in second grade, Farmer had a stellar 2020 picking up wicket keeper of the year across the grades and also produced a classy century along with some other solid performances with the bat.
In under-16s, young Terrace gun Jaxson Brooks will also represent Central North in the Bradman Cup. The spinner is in early season form.
In the first game of the season the Lions lost a tight game against Tenambit Morpeth 9-211 with the Lions 198. Best for the Terrace with the bat was Braydon Brooks, 38. Shannon Bills made 27 runs. Best with ball was Gary Collins, 3-34, and rep player Lachlan Page, 3-42.
NELSON Bay Cricket Club had a mixed day out with the division one team going down to Wallsend 5-124 to the Makos' 9-123.
Best with the bat was Matt Palmer, 47, Bryce Causley, 22, and Liam Tormey, 15. Matt Hardman continued his recent good form with the swing bowler capturing 4-12.
The Bay's division two team had a good win over Beresfield - all out 72. In reply the Bay were 7-73. The young guns were amongst the wickets. Regan Astley, 2-9, Jack Everett, 3-14, and Dean Fleming were best with the bat. Tom McCoy had 31runs.
The Makos would like to boost their playing strength with registrations still being taken including footballers in the their off-season. Part timers are also welcome.
WELL KNOWN representative touch footballer and international referee John Clarke could potentially be a drought breaker after he was selected to referee at the State of Origin touch series in Coffs Harbour in June.
Despite torrential rain, the series finally went ahead in Coffs. NSW claimed the series 9-6 over QLD
John, also a keen golfer, went back to Coffs in October to play in the Festival of Golf. The 36-hole Coffs Cup attracted a strong field but, like with the Origin, was once again impacted by heavy rain.
Despite 85mm of rain falling on day one of the Cup, players were allowed to tee up the second day. Clarke finished in third place on 138, five shots behind winner Lochie Squires.
The north coast amateur open was held in conjunction with the festival with talented Maitland young gun Clayton Small winning the 36-hole event.
John also won the golf festival's mixed foursomes earlier in the week.
