Cherbourg Hornets’ player Trent Sellin is one of 32 young athletes from across the Wide Bay Electorate who have received a small Federal Government grant to help them participate in State, national or international competitions,
Trent received the grant, of between $500 and $750, to assist him to take part in Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League 14-15yrs Boys National Championships.
Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien today congratulated the young sportsmen and woman who received the grants.
“Wide Bay has a strong track record in producing skilled and successful athletes, and these sporting champions deserve to be congratulated and encouraged on their sporting journey,” Mr O’Brien said.
“The cost of representing Wide Bay at state or national titles can be quite high, especially when long-distance travel and accommodation is required, so this funding will help to ease that pressure on local families, and help our young athletes achieve their sporting goals.”
