Even though the weather was overcast, it didn’t reflect on the performances of young players at Saturday’s Wide Bay Bulls Junior 47th Battalion representative trials in Maryborough.
Under 13, Under 14 and Under 16 Boys and Under 14 and Under 16 Girls from the Fraser Coast, South Burnett and Bundaberg regions competed in round robin matches to impress representative selectors with the anticipation of being named to play for the Bulls in the Central Division Junior Carnival.
Rugby League Fraser Coast hosted a well organised day with most games of a high standard.
Fraser Coast were the winners of both girls age divisions whilst Bundaberg won all three boys age division.
Also on display were the young match officials who donated their time and were very clear with their rulings and officiated consistently.
