The Redcliffe Redbacks Under 18
Representative Squad is a group of the most talented Indoor Cricket players
in the Redcliffe Area, selected to represent Redcliffe City in the prestigeous
State Titles Invitational Tournament to be held late September in 1999.
The squad has been narrowed down to eleven players who must firstly earn
an invitation to the championships via their performances in qualifying
games beginning May 6th.
The squad has been finalised, and
features:
The team is being coached this year
by Andrew Ryan. The under 18's will go through a rigourous qualifying series
to earn their spot in the South-East Queensland playoffs. Their job is
made even more difficult due to the fact that they have no home games in
their schedule.
Redcliffe are forced to travel long
distances for their first 2 matches at Ipswich Indoor Sports, while their
next journey takes them to Toowoomba. The official draw for the Qualifying
Series is:

The State Titles themselves will
be played at Ipswich Indoor Sports Centre on September 25th and 26th. This
weekend is a gruelling test of both physical ability, team unity and mental
stamina with up to 6 games being played in the space of 2 days. The rewards
at the end a great for those who succeed however, as the Redback's predecessors
last year found out when they bought home Redcliffe's first ever Indoor
Cricket State Title Trophy. It was a fitting climax to a tremendous weekend
for the 'backs, triumphing with only 7 men against a Victoria Point side
featuring two Australian representatives.
You can be sure all of Redcliffe
will be backing them again this time!
