Career
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 (the others being Roger and Colin), 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 1962-1963 season of the Sheffield Shield, playing two matches (home and away) against Victoria. 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 Bulletin 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 Limited., a fertiliser manufacturer, and he currently chairs local school Sheldon College.
