As someone who has had the privilege of playing in the Queensland Sub Districts Cricket Association for the last 20 years, I am proud and honoured to be serving as its patron and thrilled to share my experiences with an organisation that is the heart of community cricket in Brisbane.

Playing in this competition has enabled me to forge lifelong friendships and experience the true spirit of cricket.  The dedication and passion of everyone involved, from players and clubs to volunteers and administrators, is truly inspiring and has made QSDCA a cornerstone of Queensland’s cricketing landscape.

The QSDCA is more than just a competition, it is a community where players of all backgrounds come together to share their passion for the game.  I have witnessed first-hand this commitment and enthusiasm on and off the field, and I am delighted to be associated with an organisation that nurtures such a vibrant cricketing spirit.

To all those who are part of the QSDCA family, I extend my deepest gratitude for your dedication and passion.  As we look to the future, I am excited to see the Queensland Sub Districts Cricket Association continue to thrive and evolve.

As patron, I am committed to support and promote the continued growth and success of the Queensland Sub Districts Cricket Association.  I look forward to working closely with everyone involved to provide opportunities for cricketers from all walks of life to build community spirit, lasting friendships, and enjoy the game for many years to come.
