HOPE AT HOME

Clydesdale­s 20s finally back in town

The Toowoomba Clydesdale­s under 20s are finally back at home, well kind of.

The Clydesdale­s have had a run of away games, not playing in Toowoomba since early April.

They finally have another home game this weekend when they host Burleigh on Sunday.

That game will not be at their home at Gold Park though, with the Clydesdale­s taking on the Bears at Herb Steinohrt Oval. The Clydesdale­s 20s made a great start to the season but have gone five games without a win since to sit ninth on the ladder after 10 rounds.

Clydesdale­s under 20s coach Dean Bosnich hopes a return home could be the catalyst for a change in fortunes.

a tough“We knew stretch,” this Bosnichwou­ld be said of the run of away games. “To not play at home for six weeks is a big ask.

“Some of the road trips have been at Burleigh and Sunshine Coast, our longest away trips. It has been hard.

“We knew it was going to be hard and unfortunat­ely we haven’t been able to come up with some results. “Hopefully being back at home and at a local A grade game will give them a pick up.” The Clydesdale­s will play before the Valleys versus Oakey Hutchinson Builders TRL Premiershi­p game, giving Roosters product Ryan Horton the chance to play in the FOGS Cup Colts Challenge on his junior club home ground.
