Over 5000 people flocked to the Proserpine Junior Sporting Complex last weekend, for the mammoth Paul Bowman Challenge.
This two-day rugby league carnival saw over 80 junior rugby league teams, from all across Queensland, come together for a weekend of social sport, perfecting techniques, and practicing moves, with each of the 1180 players keen to take to the field.
In honour of Paul Bowman, a North Queensland Toyota Cowboy, who was the first Proserpine/Whitsunday Brahman to play for Queensland in the State of Origin, the challenge is big on the Junior Rugby League calendar and promotes good sportsmanship, comradery, participation, and encouragement.
“It was a really great weekend of great sportsmanship and participation,” said Justin Follett, the Proserpine/Whitsunday Junior Rugby League President.
“Although the games are unscored, the Brahams played brilliantly, and they’ve improved throughout the season. It was a great weekend of junior footy.”
