Hundreds to compete in polocrosse carnival
MEMBERS of up to 40 polocrosse teams will be looking to the skies this weekend as forecast rain threatens to disrupt play at the Cunningham Polocrosse Carnival.
Two days of polocrosse action is set to draw hundreds of players and spectators to the Bony Mountain Recreation Reserve for the Cunningham club's 59th annual carnival.
Secretary Robyn Cooper said there was a real possibility rain could affect play.
"If it gets too wet players become uncomfortable," she said.
"We just need to wait and see what happens."
As many as 40 teams from as far as Maitland will take to the field this weekend in open, women's, juniors and mini-junior competitions.
Mrs Cooper said the Cunningham side, which was one of the oldest clubs in Queensland, would field a number of teams.
"We probably could have about six senior teams and a junior team," she said.
"The finals will be on Sunday from about midday or 1pm with the main final from 2pm."
The Cunningham club hosts the state championships as part of its 60-year celebrations.
- When: Tomorrow from 8.30am, Sunday from 8am
- Where: Cunningham Polocrosse Fields - Bony Mountain Recreation Reserve
