The friendly yet passionate rivalry between Home Hill and Ayr was on show on Sunday, October 8 as Town of Origin pitted the two towns against each other in games of cricket, netball, and rugby league.
Home Hill Harvest Festival President Mark Vass said the event drew a bigger crowd than previous years, saying the committee was pleased with the day.
“As long as people keep turning up like that, we’ll keep putting it on,” he said.
“I’d like to really thank the community for supporting it and the players for keeping it going because without them, we’ve got nothing to go and watch.”
Sponsored by North Queensland Hardfacing and Burdekin Tyres, Town of Origin is one of many events held as part of the Home Hill Harvest Festival.
The next event, the Ironman Challenge, will be on Friday, October 20 at Watson’s Green, Home Hill.
