White and Blues tune up
THIS team of boys is dedicated and
keen to play in the Laurie Spina
Carnival.
Many played in last year’s Gordon
Tallis cup and are looking forward to
gaining valuable experience again
this year.
Our club encourages good
sportsmanship and even though we
play to win we also focus strongly on
having fun.
Eager to continue their excellent
efforts so far this season alongside their
coach and trainers, this Redbacks team
is proud to represent their club against
North Queensland’s best.
The U-11s Redbacks would like to
thank our valuable sponsors WC
Plumbing and Lentons as well
parents and friends who made this all
possible.
THE Rockhampton under 11s
Brothers White and Blue teams have
not only honed their football skills
ready for Laurie Spina they have also
learnt the Brothers song to help bond
the two team’s together.
The boys will sing the song after
each of their games to keep them
fired up and hopefully learn the
Brothers spirit of working together
and backing each other up, at the
same time – having fun.
Brothers Rockhampton have
continued their support of the Laurie
Spina carnival and is the largest
junior rugby league club in Central
Queensland with 28 teams from U-7
to U-18.
Two past Rockhampton club
members – Sam Hoare and Mitchell
Zornig – who are contracted under
20s Cowboy players, will present the
under 11s with their Laurie Spina
jerseys on Thursday night before the
carnival starts. The Brothers
traditional butcher’s apron print
jerseys were generously donated by
Joanne Fletcher, Body Shop at Home.
Our thanks go to other team
sponsors, PG & NM Langdon
Plumbing, Stevens Mobile Welding,
Mining Equipment Maintenance,
iWeld and MJ Hawkins Transport.
The hardest thing now will be to
keep the boys from getting too
excited on the long trip up to
Townsville.
Mountain Men on way
Cockatoos keen to do well
LOCATED under the mountains
is the home of the Springsure
Mountain Men.
We’re a small club made up
of players from Springsure,
Rolleston and outlying
properties. Half of our under 11
side travel over 100kms for
training and can clock up 500km
a weekend for club games.
The Laurie Spina carnival is
the highlight of the year for these
bush kids who many would
never get to see an NRL game.
The boys are traveling quite well
at the moment, in a very strong
Central Highlands competition
and look forward to playing
teams from North Queensland.

SOUTHERN Suburbs Rugby
League Club this
year celebrates its
40th birthday and
boasts a proud
tradition based in
the southern
outskirts of Cairns.
Formerly known as the
Panthers they changed names to
the mighty Cockatoos and have
provided a great player base for
the seniors. One of our newest
Origin heroes, Nate Myles, plied
his trade here at Southern
Suburbs guiding the mighty
cockatoos to the U16
premiership in his last year at the
club before moving on to the big
time. This newest bunch of boys
we bring to Townsville hope to
make their club proud of them by
playing the game in the right
