Kensington Park brothers aim high

The City of Burnside is proud to continue to support the community through the Quick Response Grants program, with two Kensington Park brothers recently receiving financial support to travel to an interstate volleyball competition where they claimed bronze medals for South Australia.

Sam and Luke Huddleston both competed in the Australian Youth Beach Volleyball Championships in the Under 15 and Under 17 categories respectively, with the aspiring athletes reaching the podium against strong competition in Queensland.

The brothers said they were proud to represent South Australia and enjoyed their athletic experience interstate.

“Our bronze medal match against Queensland was a tough game but we knew we could get through if we worked hard,” Luke said.

“I was really proud of the boys, I think we did really well,” Sam said.

The sibling duo are now aiming to improve their game and hope to achieve even more podium finishes for South Australia.
