I'm proud this month to be handing out Local Sporting Champions grants in my electorate. There are plenty of talented young people in Lyons, across a range of sports. This is not a body built for sport, but I'm going to try my hand at speed reading and say congratulations to all the following award recipients, their parents and their supporters: Abbey Boucher, rowing; Grace Pullen, netball; Ethan Tirant, boxing; Julia Direen, Anna Blackwell, Tahlia Honey and Alice Randall, athletics; Anne-Maree Smith, ice-skating; Samuel Kenner, gridiron; Cody Innes, hockey; Maya Brooks-Scott, polocrosse; Mackenzie Cooper, rugby; Cara Berry and Beau Johnson, gymnastics; Jessica Skinner and Taylah Hayes, judo; Chloe McFarlane, Nicola Hutchinson and George Elias, equestrian; Cobey Evans, Connor Ling, Darcy Gardner, Calym Dargan, Jacob Young, Ryan Whitney, Tyron Bailey and Blade Sulzberger, AFL under 15s; Natalia Leszcynski, soccer; Hayden Scott, darts; Liam George, tenpin bowling; and Bradley Couch, touch footy. I've still got 20 seconds to go, Deputy Speaker! I'm a world champion at speed reading! These kids are doing wonders. We are seeing young Tasmanians going to national championships and international games. I look forward to seeing these young people on the world stage over coming years.
