Scholarship holders step up

SCHOLARSHIP HOLDERS STEP UP

The pathway the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys have put in place for young footballers continues to show its benefits with 12 scholarship players to progress into the Toyota Cup under-20s competition next year.

The dozen youngsters have signed contracts to be part of the Cowboys' NYC squad next season with all but one completing their schooling in 2011.

Toyota Cowboys recruitment manager Adrian Thomson said two other players had been offered contracts to join the squad and he was awaiting confirmation they would also join the under-20s.
