One of the Burdekin’s local boys, Luca Lawry, travelled as part of the Northern School Boys team to Toowoomba to participate in the 2024 Inaugural 10-12 years Boys Netball School State Championships.
For the first time ever, boys from 10 regions across Queensland converged to take the courts for four days from May 23 to 26, to select a State Team which will later travel to the National Championships in Melbourne.
With a massive push for boys' netball nationwide, in the lead up to a possible Men's Netball World Cup in Sydney in 2027 to coincide with the Women's Championships, and the possible inclusion of Men's Netball in the 2032 Olympics in Brisbane, it was amazing to see such a great following of the sport.
The Northern Boys represented our region proudly and showed pure heart and grit in all of their games against some very stiff competition and big boys. They played Peninsula, Capricornia, Wide Bay, Sunny Coast, Met North, Met East, Met West, South Coast and Darling Downs. They achieved a nail-biting win against Capricornia and had some really close games against some of the toughest teams in the competition being up in several games, but unfortunately unable to hold on for the wins.
For anyone interested in joining Netball, contact The Burdekin Netball Association for more information.
