The glorious art of swing bowling of alive and well through Norths youngsters Sam Hele and Noah McFadyen who bowled their side to a stunning outright win.

Hele (4-36 and 3-67) claimed match figures of 7-103 while McFadyen, just two weeks out of school, continued to display maturity beyond his years with a haul of 4-38.

“They bowled in such good areas, really consistently for a long period of time and built up pressure,’’ praised Norths coach Ken Healy. “They were outstanding.’’

Noah McFadyen coming into bowl last month.

McFadyen, also a handy batsman, is out of St Joseph’s Nudgee College.

“He has come into the team and looked like a veteran,’’ Healy said.

Hele, a past student of Brisbane Grammar School, has patiently worked his way through the system at Norths and has positioned himself toward the top of the team’s bowling stocks.

“We don’t have raw pace, But these guys just put it in the right areas.’’

Watching a good swing bowler can be as intriguing as following closely the exploits of a class leg-spinner and it is encouraging to see two such gifted young bowlers playing in the one club side.

Norths needed an outright win and despite making just 224 in their innings, the bowlers and fieldsmen were able to deliver.

Ipswich Logan could muster only 106 and 166, with off-spinner Nathan McSweeney (2-17) supporting Hele and McFadyen in dismissing their rivals cheaply. Norths then scored 1-44 to secure the points.
