QLD City and Country share spoils

Queensland Under 17 representative pathway matches between City and Country finished in a deadlock over the weekend.

City won the girls’ match 40-12, before Country hit back to claim the boys’ clash 36-8.

Incredibly, both City and Country accumulated 48 points across the two games at Burleigh, recording the exact same number of tries and goals.

In the girls’ match, City prop Sianah Misa scored two second-half tries in a powerhouse display.

City led 18-4 at half-time and fought off a gallant Country comeback which looked threatening following tries to Diaz Bowen and Hayley Wainwright.

In the boys’ match, Country fullback Derek Ahwang was in scintillating form, crossing for four tries in the 28-point win.

Country led 28-0 at half-time, but City refused to back down in the second half with Jordan Tuuga-Stevenson and Toetu Misipati Toetu both crossing the line.

Girls teams named for Queensland Under 17 City versus Country clash

Queensland Rugby League has today announced the City and Country teams for the Under 17 girls match on September 24.

The clash at Moreton Daily Stadium kicks off an entertaining four-game program that also features the Queensland Under 17 City versus Country boys match, as well as the Hastings Deering Colts and Hostplus Cup grand finals.

Former Queensland and Australian representative Deanna Turner returns to coach the talented City team for a second year.

Turner is highly regarded for her work with the state’s emerging talent involved in Queensland’s female pathway programs.

Guiding the fortunes of the Country line-up is Amanda Ohl, one of the BMD Premiership’s leading coaches.

Ohl this year took the Central Queensland Capras to the grand final of the state’s premier women’s competition, where it took a stunning final minute try by the North Queensland Gold Stars to deny Central Queensland.

Both City and Country teams will feature numerous players who took part in the Harvey Norman Under 19 competition this year.

Players who have excelled in community competitions have also been identified by the QRL performance and pathways team led by Harvey Norman Queensland Maroons head coach Tahnee Norris.

Norris said there would be some great young talent on display in both sides.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing how the two teams match up on the day,” Norris said.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for all players to learn from the camp environment during the week, and further develop their own game and skills leading into next year’s Harvey Norman Under 19s and BMD Premiership competitions.

“We’re proud to have a genuine pathway through our representative program and hopefully we’ll see future Maroons come through from this group of talented players.”

Bella doing the famous rugby league name proud

Author : Joel Gould QRL

Queensland Under 17 Country playmaker Emily Bella is doing the famous rugby league name she carries proud as she targets following in the footsteps of Harvey Norman Queensland Maroons legend Ali Brigginshaw.

Emily, 17, is a cousin of former Queensland prop Martin Bella and like her namesake, enjoys the physical contact in defence.

That is where the resemblance ends when it comes to playing style, though, with the Mackay Cutters star a half with all the skills and an ability to lead a team around the paddock.

Bella has good taste in halfbacks that she looks up to and it is no surprise that Queensland’s best, male and female, are at the top of the list.

“There is Ali Brigginshaw in the women’s game… watching her play, she organises a lot and has a good kicking game. All-round, she is just a good halfback,” Emily said.

“I watched the Jillaroos play a few years ago and since then I have always tried to watch her games.

“I love defending and I like the organisation side of it, and having the vision to look up and play what you see like [Brigginshaw].

“In the men’s I always looked up to Johnathan Thurston and Cooper Cronk with how they played the game, their skills, kicking and their organising ability.

“It was inspiring to watch them play and their highlights, just to see how the game was played through their eyes too.”

‘What a weapon!’ – Emily Bella’What a weapon!’ – Emily Bella

Country coach Amanda Ohl said she looked forward to having Emily in the team for the clash with City on October 2, adding she was a very promising all-round talent.

“Emily is an organising half with the ability to control a team and get them around the park,” Ohl said.

“She also had a very good kicking game which you don’t always see in the women’s game.

“She is a very good defender as well. A highlight of our entire team is that ability to defend individually.”

Emily played in the Harvey Norman Under 19 competition at the start of the year and then under 17s more recently.

While playing for the Cutters in a North Queensland carnival, Emily had a feeling was she in the mix for selection.

Representing Country, the classy playmaker said, would be a proud moment.

“At the carnival when the selectors were there, it was pretty cool to play in front of them,” Emily said.

“They were giving a few hints away and coming up to the girls and coaches and asking a few questions about us.

“This [Country v City game] will bring the two sides of the state together and just shows what the country kids have to offer against all the city kids.”

She said Martin Bella – who played 21 State of Origins, nine Tests and 235 first grade games – had been an inspiration.

“Martin was a bit of stirrer,” Emily grinned.

“He ran the ball hard, hit hard and loved the aggression and contact. It is always good to have someone like him there who has had that experience. He is always there to ask questions of.”

Playing in the NRLW in the future is one of Emily’s goals.

As a North Queensland Cowboys supporter, she said she would be thrilled if they were to eventually get a team to play in a further expanded competition.

“That is the dream in the next few years,” Emily said.
