Teams tackle Walker event

-

RUGBY LEAGUE: The Walker Weekend Challenge is done and dusted for another year, with memories set to last a lifetime. The U13s carnival held at Herb Steinohrt Oval entered its second year, named after brothers Chris, Luke, Ben and Shane.

With 14 teams attending across the two days, event organisers were left stunned with the positive response from across southern Queensland.

“It turned out really good and we ended up getting 14 teams,” organiser Ned Murphy said. “There was one team from Ipswich and a few others from the west. There was a good level of footy played at a high standard.

“We did it last year with a few of our local sides, and we went back to the original plan this year, with a couple of girls’ sides in there as well.

“The plan is to keep building it to a solid number where we can keep the footy at a high level.”
