Queensland’s 2017 polocrosse season will kick off an action-packed program of events in April.
First up for the season, Warwick’s Cunningham Polocrosse Club will host the Cooper Cup against players from New Zealand in conjunction with their annual carnival.
This event always showcases our trans-Tasman rivalry with hard-fought games of polocrosse.
Gold Coast Polocrosse Club will hold a multi-horse carnival in Killarney – due to the Coast Club losing their grounds to the Commonwealth Games – as players test their horses to see which is likely to perform best at Warwick the following weekend.
Warwick Polocrosse Club have combined three massive events into the one weekend from Thursday 20 to Sunday 23 April.
They have already received a record number of entries for the Barastoc Interstate Series with teams from Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and West Australia going into battle for State pride.
A best-of-three Test Series between South Africa and Australia in both men’s and women’s competition will showcase international polocrosse on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
See coverage in the Southern Free Times in April.
