Rugby League - Kingaroy
The Kingaroy Rugby League Football Club will be holding the second (and final) day of a special weekend for rugby league fans at their clubhouse at T.J. O'Neill Oval in Youngman Street, Kingaroy today. Some of the best junior rugby league footballers in Queensland will be on show to play pre-season trial games for the Cyril Connell and Mal Meninga competitions. Today, the action will kick off at 10:30am when Central Crows play the Toowoomba Clydesdales in an U16s Cyril Connell match. This will be followed at noon by a clash between the U18s sides of both teams. A bar and canteen will be operating too, and all league fans are very welcome! Note: Late last year eight junior South Burnett league players earned selection for either the Crows’ U16 or U18 squads, so there should be some familiar faces on the field.
