Fathers and sons on side
November 9th 2008 21:03
Most weekends you'll only find seven names on the list for the Pine Rivers Hawks cricket team in Queensland. But that's okay because those seven blokes always bring their seven sons so they have more than enough to take the field.
Two of them, Darren Reilly and his son Jake, 13, open the bowling. Darren, who played before bigger crowds in his AFL days with the (then) Brisbane Bears, says Jake reminds him every morning who has taken more wickets.
Also in the team are Bruce and Chris Stone, Brett and Ashley Mears, Russ and Matthew Dunne, Peter and Matt Bartlett, and Randy and Ryan Kay.
“The kids enjoy it. They try to run us (dads) to death but I think it’s the dads that get the most out of it,” says Darren. “To be able to play sport with your kid is just terrific."
