Townsville Bulletin

WE’RE STREAMING EVERY GAME OF THE PAYNE CUP

-

THE T NRL season has not been much to crow about for Queensland rugby league fans, but the future is bright and the Bulletin is ready to prove it.

All matches from the Aaron Payne Cup and Allan Langer Trophy, the symbols of schoolboy league supremacy in North and south Queensland respective­ly, will screen on townsville­bulletin.com.au. That’s dozens of games of league live from the competitio­n that has produced such stars as Greg Inglis, Michael Morgan, Jason Taumalolo and Hamiso Tabuai-fidow.

The move is an innovation from News Corp in Queensland, with more than 200 games of schoolboy and girl sport set to stream across the state between now and November.

Also locked in are the state school finals for AFL, basketball and Queensland football’s Schools Premier League.

Senior sport booked in for streaming includes weekly game-of-the-round coverage of basketball’s Queensland State League.

Executive editor Bryce Johns said News Queensland’s regional division was out to prove it was more than a news site.

“We cover this state like no one else,” he said.

Queensland School Sport Peach Rugby said League News’s boss innovation Andrew as was a great help to communitie­s worried about coronaviru­s.

“(It) provides outstandin­g unable support to for attend our families db games, who while are also providing us with high-quality footage,” he said.

It all kicks off tomorrow when National Schoolboys champions Kirwan High host Mackay State High in the Aaron Payne Cup opener.
