The teams are in as all Regional Queensland zones set their sights on taking the Youth Cup crown from the Sunshine Coast Scorchers.
The Bulls Masters Youth Cup enters its seventh season moving from Bundaberg to the Far North Queensland tropics of Cairns. The Bulls Masters thank the Cairns Regional Council and Halpin Partners Accounting for investing in young Regional cricketers.
The Youth Cup is one of the most important pathways for Regional Queensland Cricketers looking to advance their credentials and possibly earn the recognition from the many scouts watching. In the past, players have been identified and earned scholarship offers or Queensland Premier Cricket clubs have come knocking, looking to poach the country’s brightest stars.
But not everyone is looking to make the big time, so the Bulls Masters Youth Cup offers an opportunity for most to test themselves at a higher level and represent their region with pride.
Darling Downs have been the most dominant side in the history of the Youth Cup, winning it three times. Mackay/Whitsundays and South East Queensland have both won the tournament once, while Sunshine Coast only joined the competition last year, replacing the Gold Coast and they took it out in their very first go.
The event runs from Sunday December, 11 to Thursday December 15th.
