Was great to see so much good football from young kids.

The Confraternity Carnival is an annual schoolboys’ rugby league competition conducted by the Queensland Independent Secondary Schools’ Rugby League (Q.I.S.S.R.L). The Carnival has been in existence since 1980 and in that time has developed a reputation as one of the most formidable schoolboy rugby league competitions in Australia. The Carnival is played each year in a different city in Queensland and the competition is for the Open or Firsts team from each school. Teams take a squad of 20 players to the Carnival.

Stu Allen photography has been shooting the Dolphins and Northern pride games in Brisbane the results have been more favourbale for the Redcliffe Dolphins of late.

Mal Meninga Cup Redcliffe Dolphins V Northern Pride.

 

The Northern Pride Under 18′s impressive winning streak ended today when they met the Redcliffe Dolphins powerhouse team in the semi final of the Mal Meninga Cup.

The Pride posted early points leading 10 – nil in the opening stanza of the game but from then on the points all went Redcliffe’s way.

Full Time Score Redcliffe 60 Northern Pride 10. Try scorers for the Pride were Keelan White & Daniel Mooka with Bradley Stephen kicking the conversion.

Round 6 Tweed Head Seagulls v Northern Pride.

A COURAGEOUS defensive performance in the first 15 minutes was the catalyst for Tweed Heads Seagulls continuing on their winning in their round 6 Queensland Rugby league Intrust Cup clash with Northern Pride .

Pride dominated the possession during that opening periods they had ball-carriers pulled down within a metre of the Seagulls try line on more than one occasion .

It truly was a memorable defensive performance by the home side which, after weathering the onslaught, finally got their fair share of possession and subsequently field position to enable them to run in four tries to take what appeared to be an unassailable 24-0 in the sheds at half-time.

Northern Pride ensured it was a nail-biting finish by posting three tries after the break, the final touchdown with three minutes still on the clock.

Corey Blair had a match to remember – he shouldn’t have had to put his hand into his kick to buy a beer at the post-match function.

Seagulls 24 (Tom Merritt 3, Matt Carbutt tries; Brad Davis 4 goals) def Northern Pride 22 (Daniel Crampton, Scott Gibson, Ty Williams, Ben Spina tries; Chey Bird 3 goals).

Round 5 Dolphins v Logan Magpies

Stu Allen photography has been shooting the Dolphins and Northern pride games in Brisbane the results have been more favourbale for the Redcliffe Dolphins of late.

Dolphins returned to form in stunning fashion at Dolphin Oval on Sunday.

From the opening whistle the Dolphins dominated the match with a flawless opening forty minutes, completing their sets and controlling possession.

The Magpies had no answer to the Dolphins juggernaut, by the time the visitors got some decent possession twenty minutes had passed on the clock and the Dolphins had racked up twenty four unanswered points.

Bronco Dane Gagai opened the scoring when the Magpies couldn’t handle a Joe Bond up-and-under, Liam Georgetown made no mistake with the conversion to see the Dolphins lead 6-0.

A week shy of the tenth anniversary of Damian Richters racking up a club record 40 points against Logan City Liam Georgetown racked up a personal tally of 34 points coming from three tries a club record 11 goals.

Casey Dellacqua and James Lemke win finals at Cairns Pro Tour Tennis International

September 20, 2011 by Leave a Comment

 

Casey Dellacqua labelled her time in Cairns as a “near perfect week”  by taking out the Cairns Tennis International . She took the final in straight sets over Poland’s Sandra Zaniewska (6-4, 7-6) at the Cairns International Tennis Centre. “Coming back these tournaments are crucial for me, but also for everyone trying to make the top 100,” Dellacqua said. “I came here wanting matches and I got five singles matches this week and to be honest probably played a little bit better than I expected. Sandra played really well so it was a bit of a challenge.”Hopefully, I won’t be back because I’ll be in the top 100 and playing bigger tournaments, but if I happen to be back I’ll be sure to enjoy my time here again,” she said. “I’ve a much perfect week here, it’s my first time to Cairns and I’ve loved it,” she said. “Every restaurant we’ve been to, or every place we’ve been, everyone has just been so friendly. “Honestly, I have had a fantastic week and I wish every week was like this with nice weather, nice hotel, nice pool to swim in. It’s been an absolutely fantastic week.

James Lemke scored a victory against Ben Mitchell in the final of the Cairns Tennis International . The 23-year-old from Melbourne won 6-1 4-6 6-3.

Supermoto racing is a hybrid of motocross and roadracing with riders competing on motocross and enduro bikes with 17 inch road race tyres on both dirt, including jumps, and tarmac sections of the track. The first round of the titles was held at Carnell Raceway Stanthorpe on March 11 and 12.
Over 500 spectators passed through the gates over the 2 days of the event to see some spectacular riding displays from competitors, with riders sliding the back wheel of the bikes through turn 1 at over 100km/hr. A few passing showers on both days made conditions a bit slippery particularly where the tarmac and dirt sections joined.
Trophies were awarded in 4 classes on the day S1 for highly modified bikes over 450cc, S2 for bikes up to 450cc, S3 for bikes up to 250cc and Veterans. which don’t have a capacity limit, just riders having to be over the age of 35. Trophies in all classes for the Queensland titles will be awarded at the Motorcycling Queensland Annual Awards night in Brisbane in December.
