Sport In Brief

Campbell does a Bradbury

WITH some of the big dogs playing in Mareeba, a few Cooktown players sensed an opportunity on Saturday morning and battled it out in a stableford event.

Campbell Venebles was the big winner, carding 36 points to beat John McArthur, who had 33, while Jamie Dobson was third with 32 points.

Nearest the pins went to Paul Sperring on 2/11, while Venebles was closest on both 14 and 9/18.

This Saturday is the Captain v President stroke day on the composite course of White Front 9/Red Back 9.

Red-hot Lucas

JIM Lucas relished playing the full nine holes at last week’s Wednesday Wackers as he knocked over a field of 12.

David Morgan had to settle for runner-up while Steve Head rounded up the field with the Bradman’s.

Ross Craven and Jim Hunter had the nearest to pins.

It was a big week for Lucas as he also claimed Sunday morning’s Dawn Busters golf event.

He beat Lucas Duvenhague in a field of eight.

Viv Dick turned back the clock with the longest drive, while Mal Fairall picked up both the Hoffman’s and nearest to pin.

Cowboys launch inquiry

THE North Queensland Cowboys have launched an investigation after winger Kyle Feldt became the target of online abuse at the weekend.

The Cowboys’ 26-12 loss to the Warriors on Saturday was the first NRL win in Townsville for the New Zealand-based side in five years.

The defeat sparked a reaction on social media, with the club confirming several players and their partners were the subject of hateful comments.

Cowboys chief executive Jeff Reibel issued a statement saying the club had a “zero-tolerance policy” to any kind of abuse of players.

“Our club will be conducting an investigation to ascertain whether the person is a Cowboys member and, if so, their membership will be cancelled.”
