THE Peninsula under-16 football team has taken part in the Queensland State School Football Championships in Brisbane and finished third.
The Peninsula under-16 football team Back row (l-r): Josh Taylor (coach), Houston Jackson, Jake Broomhead, Hunter Searle, Nicholas Brett, Izak Weston, Jimmy Breeze, Cooper Kennedy, Bailey Schwarz, Nathan Haydon (team manager) Front row (l-r): Dominic Johnson, Ryan Tatti, Lucas Russell, Travis Pershouse, Trent Finta, Kal Kumar, Kai Palka, Ty Jones.
A team spokesman said it was the region’s best result since records began.
“They only lost one game all week and were knocked out on penalties in the semi-finals, but won their third place play-off against Metropolitan West,” he said.
“Amazingly, none of the Far North Queensland kids were picked in the Queensland team, despite finishing third,” the spokesman said.
