After an astonishing number of entries and an extremely tough selection process the winning Suncorp Cash Up Your Club junior rugby league clubs have been announced.
Back in May, Suncorp ambassador and Maroons legend Corey Parker and coach Kevin Walters launched the competition - a total of $20,000 cash from Suncorp to replace gear or upgrade facilities at three junior rugby league clubs around Queensland.
The response was enormous.
A total of 342 junior clubs were nominated for the major prize of $10,000 and two runner-up prizes of $5000 each. Entrants listed their club and nominated what club projects the money would be used for. Given that there are only 439 junior clubs in Queensland, to say the response was strong doesn’t quite cover it. But now, to the winners…
