Aussie team comes to town
The Australian World Cup polocrosse team will play at the annual Stanley Rivers polocrosse carnival, to be held at the Kilcoy Showgrounds reserve on the weekend of June 8 and 9.
The Australian team will use this carnival as the last chance to play together as a team, before competing in the World Cup in South Africa during July.
On June 8 and 9, Australia will play against invitational sides from the south-east Queensland and Western Downs regions in a similar format to the World Cup competition.
Men will play against men, and women will play against women under a mix of Australian and international rules.
Normal teams have six players to a team, but this competition will have eight players with reserves in both sections to interchange between chukkas.
It has been a steady start for Stanley Rivers this season, with the club competing at four carnivals so far.
Stanley Rivers was the runner-up in its grade by one goal at the first three before losing the semi-final by one goal at the most recent carnival.
