The Cane Country Cup is back for its second year, bringing with it more teams and more action. The mixed-team pickleball event, hosted by the Home Hill Tennis Association, will take place on Sunday, June 8 from 8am, with spectators welcome to join the action courtside.
After a successful debut, the 2025 edition has grown to 24 teams, up from 16 last year, with teams coming from across North Queensland—including Whitsundays, Bowen, Townsville, Home Hill, Ingham, Cardwell, and Tully.
Teams will compete in two divisions: competitive and social. Among the top contenders in the competitive division are Peter Hughes Airlie Norfolk and Chance, who return as defending champions, and Pickle d’Lulu, led by Hannah Casswell. In the social division, the much-loved Cardwell Crocs make their return.
A new highlight for 2025 is the introduction of the Fair Play Trophy, a perpetual award crafted from silky oak by Merv Mohr and the Burdekin Woodcraft Association. The trophy celebrates the values of fairness, team spirit, and sportsmanship.
With strong regional representation and a welcoming atmosphere, the Cane Country Cup promises a great day out for players and spectators alike.
