Schoolboy matches as QR Reds' curtain raisers
Thursday, 19 February 2009
School rugby matches will figure prominently as curtain raisers at Suncorp Stadium during the QR Reds 2009 season.
The QR Reds 2nd XV clash against arch-rivals the Junior Waratahs will be the curtain raiser for the Reds' first home game, against the Cheetahs on March 1, but the remaining five Suncorp dates will feature some of the state's best schoolboy talent in action.
GPS rivals Anglican Church Grammar School and St Josephs College, Gregory Terrace is arguably the marquee match-up of the five, being played on April 18 before the Lions clash.
Terrace also squares off against Marist College Ashgrove, who get to test their skills against a team from outside their usual AIC competition.
