Sam Scuderi was a truly gifted batsman and cricket prodigy who grew up in the sports hungry North Queensland.

At the age of 13 he was playing A Grade cricket with and against men for Ingham Centrals. At 16 he was playing A Grade for Wanderers in Townsville.

Whilst still a teenager he was selected in the Queensland Country team and many eyes of Queensland cricket were shining brightly at Sam’s run scoring capabilities and talent.

The Scuderi family ran a sugar farm in North Queensland and sadly Sam’s father passed away when he was 16. Sam was to run the sugar farm to help provide for his mother and brother Joe.

"I would have loved to have gone to Brisbane earlier, but it couldn't be done," Sam said.
