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.
