Pathways footy this Saturday
DUE to Cyclone Alfred and its impact on Brisbane and southeast Queensland, the first match of the season between Northern Pride and the Brisbane Tigers has been postponed until May 10.
The postponement was put in place to ensure the safety of the players travelling to FNQ and the season will kick off on May 10.
All matches from the elite pathways, men’s and women’s, will continue as scheduled.
Last weekend, the Harvey Norman under-17 and under-19 women’s teams defeated the Townsville Blackhawks 26-6 and 24-22 respectively.
On the other hand the under-17 and under-19 men’s teams competing in the Cyril Connell Cup suffered close losses against the Hawks 16-20 and 28-34 respectively.
All elite pathways teams will go on to challenge the Central Queensland Capras this Saturday from 11am and the HPC Pride will face the Tweed Seagulls from 5pm.
“We were all disappointed with the cancellation of round one last weekend, but we now look forward to playing this match on the rescheduled date of May 10,” said Pride chief executive Garreth Smith.
“Despite the cancellation, we still saw great support for our Elite Pathways teams on Saturday,” he said.
“Now, we shift our full focus to Saturday, March 15, Russ (head coach) is eager to finally get the HPC squad on the paddock and has been very pleased with the team’s preparation so far. Expect a huge day of footy at Barlow Park.”
