But it was Dan Bozic's day on Saturday to do just that for the Leagues Club Panthers team.

Typically, he was pretty modest and said he had just had some luck on the day. Some luck!

But what a way to start the cricket season in Griffith.

While the stands at Exies Sporties Club and around the ovals were far from packed, those who made the trip got to witness a great display.

It's a reminder that while not all of us can represent the nation in a baggy green, or whatever our chosen sport is, there's plenty of amazing performances from people in our community.

Cricket might not be everyone's favourite game as Bozic told The Area News, it's great to be able to get back into sport, socialise with some mates and keep active.

Talking socialising, the world premiere of Super Sunshine Girl was held in Griffith.

When people think of the country, culture isn't typically the first thing to they talk about. Usually it's some joke about whether we've got power or some such.

As the premiere last week showed, just because we're a few hours from the nearest metropolis doesn't mean we can't enjoy our own red carpet events.

After so much got the heave-ho earlier this year, it's great to see some things happening again, in a responsibly, socially distanced manner.
