Tablelanders to play iconic carnival
ONE of Queensland’s most iconic rugby league carnivals will be held this weekend in Townsville and will see 17 men and women from the Tablelands compete in the Far North Queensland teams.
The Foley Shield is one of the state’s most iconic rugby league events and sees teams from different areas of Queensland all vie for the shield and a spot in the Queensland Country team.
Representing the Far North from this Saturday to Monday at the Townsville Sports Precinct are 17 men and women from the Mareeba Gladiators and Atherton Roosters teams.
Approximately one quarter of the FNQ men’s team is made up of Tablelands players, while about one third of the FNQ women’s team is comprised of Atherton players, showcasing the range of talent that lies within the region.
