Longreach star Fred Balderson shines in Central West football
The Longreach teenager Fred Balderson, hailed as the best centre seen for years, impressed on tour with fast, powerful play and a standout performance against Maryborough. He declined offers to join Balmain after the visit, later earning the intertown Judges’ Medal as this year’s best and fairest in Central West football. Balderson, born in Barcaldine, rose through Blues Club ranks and regional reps, with nine Central West appearances to date. The article also notes Longreach’s Mosquito Trophy history, and a forthcoming Barcaldine challenge for the trophy as the season heats up.
