In this week’s Sports Talk, Vince Habermann profiles Joshua Brillante, and talks football, hockey, junior rugby league, AFL and greyhounds.

Once again there might be some small windows of opportunity to get out and wet a line off Bundaberg this weekend. The few boats that headed out last weekend, although it was a little rougher than the forecast, managed to land plenty of impressive reef fish, including coral trout, green job fish, red emperor, grass sweetlip and parrot.

Spectators were able to return to the Bundaberg horse races for the first time in six meetings on Saturday and while numbers at the facility including officials, trainers and jockeys, were limited to 300 due to COVID-19 Phase 3 restrictions, a good time was had by all despite the persistent showers.

The Brothers Cricket Club presented Coral Coast Ford Principal Dealer, Richard Sears with a framed shirt to recognise a decade of sponsorship.

Playing in memory of much loved clubman and friend, Wayne Hart, who passed away suddenly earlier in the week; and powered by a Lachlan Scarborough double, Brothers-Aston Villa claimed a season-defining 4-2 victory over fellow contenders United Park Eagles.

In Sports Talk this week sports columnist Vince Habermann looks at Football Bundaberg, the return of spectators at Bundaberg Race Club, Junior Rugby League, Bundaberg Hockey and AFL.
