donald harry `` don '' seccombe , -lrb- born 3 april 1942 -rrb- , is a former australian cricketer who played several matches for queensland during the early 1960s , and later served in local government as the mayor of redland shire .
from goomeri , in the south burnett region of queensland , seccombe was one of three cricketing brothers who played matches for queensland country representative sides during the 1960s -lrb- the others being roger and colin -rrb- , though he was the only one to progress to the state team .
a right-handed middle-order batsman , he made his first-class debut in the 1962 -- 63 season of the sheffield shield , playing two matches -lrb- home and away -rrb- against victoria .
on debut at the melbourne cricket ground , seccombe scored 58 runs coming in sixth in queensland 's first innings , partnering with des bull -lrb- 152 -rrb- for a 118-run partnership for the fifth wicket .
in the second match , at the gabba , he scored 48 and 41 , putting on 104 for the fourth wicket with graham bizzell in queensland 's second innings .
seccombe 's third and fourth matches for queensland came two seasons later , home games against south australia and victoria in january and february 1965 , respectively .
in what were his last matches for the team , he scored only 57 runs over four innings .
he was promoted to first drop behind bull and sam trimble in the match against victoria , and was caught by bob cowper for a duck off of alan connolly 's bowling , who finished with figures of 9/67 in queensland 's first innings .
he continued playing for country-based representative sides until the late 1970s , playing several times against touring international sides .
outside of sports , seccombe was at one stage national sales manager for incitec ltd. , a fertiliser manufacturer , and he currently chairs local school sheldon college .
a founder -lrb- and past president -rrb- of both the redlands sporting club and the redland foundation , and later president of clubs queensland , he served as mayor of redland shire from 2001 to 2008 .
he was named a member of the order of australia -lrb- am -rrb- in the 2014 queen 's birthday honours , for `` significant service to the community , particularly through cricket administration and the clubs industry '' .
seccombe 's nephew , wade seccombe , was also a notable cricketer , playing over 100 shield matches as queensland 's wicket-keeper from the early 1990s to the early 2000s .
