Queensland Rugby League has today released its junior representative draws for aspirational male and female players involved in statewide competitions for 2025.
These competitions encompass the Mal Meninga Cup (Under 19) and Cyril Connell Cup (Under 17) for leading male talent, as well as two female youth competitions backed by Harvey Norman.
The Mal Meninga Cup – taken out by the Tweed Seagulls last year – will be played over nine rounds with the top six teams contesting the play-offs.
The Cyril Connell Cup features a four team finals series, with each club having six regular season games to put their best foot forward and qualify for the crunch play-off games.
Both the Harvey Norman Under 17 and Under 19 female competitions will also be played over six rounds with the top four to fight out the premiership.
The Under 17s features a finals series for the first time as part of an expanded schedule.
The junior statewide competitions action begins on February 8 with the Burleigh Bears up against the Ipswich Jets in Mal Meninga Cup and Harvey Norman Under 19 matches.
The remaining Round 1 fixtures across all competitions will be played over the weekend of February 15-16.
Fans who love to cast their eye over the next generation of talent are in for a treat in 2025, with some match-day programs set to feature five games between the same two clubs.
This will occur on numerous occasions when the Hostplus Cup season starts in March.
Wide Bay Bulls will compete solely in the Under 17 male and female competitions in 2025, with provision for 18-years old still in the catchment to play in these teams.
