QRL FESTIVAL OF FOOTY

AN EXCEPTIONALLY high standard of players has been chosen for the QRL Divisional Carnival, among the main attractions of this weekend's Festival of Football at BMD Kougari Oval.

The Northern Marlins - which represent an area stretching from the Torres Strait down to Sarina and west to Mount Isa - are the current reigning Divisional champions.

Prior to them the South West Mustangs (Toowoomba, Border, Roma, Western) held the title for three years running.

In 2007 the winner looks difficult to pick, with all Divisions boasting strong and capable squads.

Effectively the Carnival represents the best 'local league' players throughout Queensland, with NRL and regular Wizard Cup competitors ineligible.

At the completion of the Carnival selectors will announce a XXXX Queensland Rangers team to compete in the ARL Quadrangular Series at Tamworth. The Quad series will be held July 7-21.
