DEUCHAR rider Kobe Miller will fly the Warwick flag at the July 7-8 Junior National Finals Series Rodeo in the Australian Professional Rodeo Association.

He leads the junior team roping heeler standings going into the finals which will be contested over three rounds in Emerald.

Kobe has been outstanding in the APRA in roping as well as in team roping association competitions.

The top-10 in steer riding, team roping, barrel racing, breakaway roping and the rope and tie have qualified for the finals in Emerald.

The Emerald open rodeo on July 8 will be the first on the Northern Run, which finishes at Mt Isa on August 11-13.
