Highfields’ Kratzke Oval Set To Host Cardinal Cup

Last years AFL Grand-Finalists, the South Toowoomba Bombers will host a pre-season tournament known as the Cardinal Cup at the home of the Highfields Lions, Kratzke Oval.

Fellow AFL Darling Downs clubs, the Goondiwindi Hawks, Warwick Redbacks and Toowoomba Tigers along with Park Ridge AFC (Jimboomba) from the South East, will converge on Kratzke Oval across the two days to prepare for the season ahead. South Toowoomba Bombers President, Keith Neumann said it was a great opportunity to prepare for the new season.

“It’s been a long pre-season and this is another opportunity for us to blow out the cobwebs and look ahead to a massive year in the newly restructured AFL Darling Downs men’s competition. Not only is it a great preparation on-field, but off-field, it gives us an opportunity to fund raise and prepare as volunteers for the regular season.”

“Both our men’s and women’s teams are looking forward to the hit out, we believe 2017 the Bombers will be producing something special,” President Keith Neumann added.

The South Toowoomba Bombers women’s team will also take to the field on Sunday afternoon as they come up against the reigning premiers, the Toowoomba Tigers.

All the action kicks off from 1:00pm Saturday, when the Goondiwindi Hawks play the Toowoomba Tigers. Day one runs from 1:00pm through to 7:00pm, with Day two action kicking off from 8:30am and running up until the last game between the Bombers and Tigers women’s teams finishing at 4:00pm.

Footy is back!
