As the cricket season on the Southern Downs prepares to hit off, former Stanthorpe, Warwick and Chinchilla cricketer Christopher McEvoy may have moved to the NT but definitely did has not left his cricket ability and smarts in Queensland.
McEvoy has been playing for Southern Districts in Darwin and the team recently won the Darwin Premier Grade Title (a two day comp).
Cricket in Darwin has always been strong but with overseas travel restricted for first class cricketers many have made their way to the NT in the off season.
One of McEvoy’s team mates this season has been Matthew Gilkes who opened the batting for NSW in the Sheffield Shield final earlier this year.
It is testament to McEvoy’s ability that he has held his spot in the team with such high class imports available.
McEvoy played a vital role in his side’s victory taking 2/39 from his 13 over which included three maidens.
He also had a hand in a run out as Southern Districts celebrated their 2021 Darwin Premier Grade title.
