Indigenous cricket carnival back on after washout - Toowoomba Chronicle


THE SWIN Western Rivers Cup is back on. The carnival was washed out on March 29 but has been rescheduled which will allow some of the best indigenous cricket talent to be showcased at Newtown Park on Saturday, May 10.


Eight teams were entered in the competition, with organisers saying all teams are on board for the revised date.


Players have the chance to push for higher representative honours at the carnival, with a SWIN Seamers merit team to be named at the end of the tournament.


Toowoomba's Daley Martin was able to use last year's tournament as a platform to earn selection in the Queensland team for the Imparja Cup.


The rescheduled date also has its benefits as it will allow players also involved with rugby league the chance to compete given that weekend is a general bye in the TRL due to the 47th Battalion Trophy representative carnival.


"All of the teams are excited and it worked well with the league and the 47th Battalion," South-West Indigenous Network chairman Peter Jackson said.
