A group of five girls – Miley Joe Schafer, Taleah Schwartz, Flora Illin, Nuhnena Kerr – from the Townsville’s Garbutt Magpies Club travelled to Gilroy College near Ingham for 10-12-year-old school cricket trials last week.

Zpatian Schwartz, Tania Long and Lorretta Tom also went along for the ride.

Garbutt Magpies stalwart Randall Ross said they had all gained valuable experience.

“The five girls showed much talent but were overlooked as other young females had years of cricket experience,” he said.

“We will take our girls away knowing they did their club and teams proud, and we will work on some of their cricket skills to ensure they stand out in future trials,” Mr Ross told the Torres News

After the trials an Invitational Cricket team was selected to compete at the Queensland School Sport 10-12yrs Girls’ Cricket State Championship, in Bundaberg.

Afl Sign On

Meanwhile Garbutt Magpies and affiliated junior club Garbutt Bombers will hold a sign on for its Australian Rules teams this Saturday at the Mini Golf headquarters on Townsville’s Kings Road.

The clubs will field sides in the Townsville Australian Football League competition.

“New and existing players of any age group, girls, boys, men and women are welcome to come along to the sign on to play AFL football,” Randall said.

“There will be a free sausage sizzle and kids get to have a game of mini golf.

“Club members will be on hand to help with the sign on process.”
