Young Talent Shines At Paul Bowman Challenge

At the 2024 Paul Bowman Challenge the Proserpine Whitsunday Junior Rugby League Football Club welcomed 80 teams from all over Queensland.

Over 300 games were played, and it was a great weekend filled with footy, fun and fantastic action.

The Paul Bowman Challenge kickstarted the school holidays, giving youngsters from all over the State a chance to play Rugby League in the beautiful Whitsundays for the entire weekend.

On Sunday, everyone was blessed with the presence of Zac Laybutt and Coen Hess from the North Queensland Cowboys, and they were in great spirits after their win!

Rugby League legend Paul Bowman was also in attendance on Sunday, signing shirts and spreading positivity.

Everything happened on Sunday! The Sam Faust relay took place with all 80 teams and over 1000 kids running in the race.

The Whitsunday Brahmans took out first place in the race, huge congratulations to them on this massive win.
