Last Saturday, the best players from the Toowoomba Junior Clydesdales, Warwick and District Chargers, South West Stockmen and the Roma and District Redbacks competed for championship honours at the South West Mustangs Annual Challenge and Selection Trials.
The weekend was hosted by the Miles Devils Junior Rugby League who worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly.
South West Mustangs Representative Co-ordinator Brad Steer was impressed with the high level of junior rugby league at the weekend.
“The standard of footy was entertaining and demonstrates our region is still producing high-quality rugby league players,” Steer said.
In his first year as Representative Co-ordinator, Steer thanked the many people for their assistance.
“Thank you to the many individuals who contributed to making the day a success. There is a lot of behind the scenes work, and I sincerely appreciate the assistance provided,” he said.
“A day like this doesn’t just happen on its own."
“Thanks must also be given to those officials who gave up their weekend to make the carnival and selection trials work – our match officials, first aid officers, selectors, coaches and managers.”
The South West Mustangs would also like to thank the parents, players and supporters for their contribution and support, many of which travelled long distances to allow their child such opportunities in the greatest game of all, rugby league.
