Cricket Flowing Through Three Generations

The Inghamvale Housos are a cricket team that compete in the Goldfield Ashes competition in Charters Towers every single year, but did you know that in the most recent team that played at the competition there was three generations of a family involved?

January 17th to 19th 126 teams participated in the Charters Towers Goldfield Ashes, in the Inghamvale Housos team the Camp family runs through it.

Inghamvale Housos Manager Debbie Camp said that her husband is in the team, as well as sons, sons-in-law, and her grandchildren. Ages span from 68, to 40’s, 30’s and 14 and 15. A wide arrange of ages, all brought together by their love for cricket.

The rest of the team is filled with friends, cousins, and other family members, all with various ages.

Debbie said members of the team have been a part of it for a very long time.

“My husband's been going for 51 years. One of our sons has been going for 20 years, and the other one not much less than that. And this is the first year that my grandsons have gone,” said Debbie.

In the Goldfield Ashes competition, the Inghamvale Housos finished 42nd out of the 126 teams, with two wins and one loss.

Debbie enjoys the weekend and said her favourite part is watching her boys play cricket and having a good time doing it.
