Young guns of the TRL prepare for rep fixtures
RUGBY LEAGUE: The future of the Toowoomba Rugby League will be on show this weekend when the U18s and U20s Clydesdales head to Gladstone.
They are set to take part in the inaugural 47th Battalion Carnival for the divisions, and push for selection in the Central Crows for their game against South East Queensland on July 28.
QRL Central Division manager Glenn Ottaway said it was a chance for the next tier of players to show their skills at a higher level.
“This carnival is a great opportunity for young players to participate at a representative level,” Ottaway said.
“All players at the carnival have not had regular exposure to the Mal Meninga Cup or Hastings Deering Colts as part of the QRL Major Competitions program.
“We expect the playing standard at the carnival to be very high as many of the players are coming out of strong Under 18 and Under 20 competitions or in fact playing local A Grade in open age company.”
Both the U18s and U20s teams will need to get past Bundaberg to progress to the next stage of the trophy tournament.
The U18s will play first at 11am tomorrow, followed by the U20s at noon, with finals to be held on Sunday.
The Central Division Facebook page will broadcast the two trophy finals.
