A very successful Day 1 of this year's QRL Central Junior Carnival was played at Bulldog Park, Chinchilla yesterday with many standout performances making the job hard for the Central Crows selectors.
Heading into Day 2, most fixtures today will determine who will be crowned regional champions in each age division.
In the Under 13 Boys Phil Shield Shield, the South West Mustangs only have to win one half of their match against the Wide Bay Bulls. If the Bulls can upset the Mustangs and take all six points on offer, all eyes will be on the Falcons v Capras matchup to determine this year's winner.
Today's Under 14 Boys game between Central Queensland and Sunshine Coast will determine the winner of the Rex Zeeman Shield. For the Falcons to claim carnival victory, they must upset the Capras and take all six points on offer in this match.
In the Under 16 Boys Darren Lockyer Shield, the Falcons have dominated and should only need to win one half against the Capras. If an upset was to occur, the Mustangs are also in the hunt, but must defeat the Wide Bay Bulls comprehensively to win on a for and against countback.
The Central Queensland Capras and Sunshine Coast Falcons will clash in the Under 14 Girls to determine who lifts the Sandra Currie Shield. The Capras are ahead by two points but the Falcons have a superior for and against, so a win is needed for CQ to claim the title.
In the Under 16 Girls Stephanie Hancock Shield, South West and Wide Bay will play off for the top honours in their matchup today. It's going to be a tough clash for the Bulls with the Mustangs hoping to secure the silverware on 'home soil'.
Below are yesterday's results, the current ladders and today's draw.
