Subscriber only Champion Test fast bowler Craig McDermott and elite international all-rounder Shane Watson were star power in this imposing Ipswich Grammar School greatest First XI team. It is a powerhouse side which includes several current representative players. The strength of the 12 is highlighted when you consider the likes of Harry Wood (Australian under 19 all-rounder), Darren Hines (youth state all-rounder), Queensland Country gloveman Aaron Moore, Andrew Bailey and multi-talented sportsmen like Berrick Barnes and the Walters clan missed the cut - some not by much.

Subscriber only HAVING scored more than 7700 runs and taken 260 plus wickets in South East Queensland cricket competitions, Ben O Connell is a player any team would welcome back. Even though he s not planning to do much bowling in the near future, the powerhouse top three batsman is keen to make a valuable contribution. He returned to the Laidley first grade side in recent weeks after a successful two-year stint with Broadbeach Robina in the stronger 12-team Gold Coast competition. O Connell enjoyed sharing in two premiership successes with a group of representative level mates. However, the demands of driving from Ipswich to the Gold Coast to play were too much for the West Moreton Anglican College English and social science teacher, who is also Director of Rugby.

For the rugby romantic the Queensland Reds are the most beguiling team in Australian rugby.
You might first think of brilliant sides of the 1970s and 80s with greats like the rampaging Mark Loane, the brilliant wing Brendan Moon and the late great Stan Pilecki. Pilecki was the first Queensland player to play 100 games for the team and his name adorns the annual medal for the best Reds player.
Queensland players were the backbone of the great Wallabies grand slam side of 1984, including mesmerising full back Roger Gould and bulldozing prop Andy McIntyre, while the team was captained by Queensland centre and stalwart Andrew Slack.
