Subscriber only FACING the defending Langer Cup champions first up is a tough assignment for any schoolboy rugby league team. However, Ipswich State High hopes to use the testing early schedule to their advantage. Preparing to tackle Palm Beach Currumbin at the North Ipswich Reserve on Wednesday afternoon, Ipswich State High s Langer Cup side has a core of quality players returning after a long wait and measured preparation. They are always very kind to us with the draw, Ipswich State High head coach Josh Bretherton joked. It s a tough game to start. There s no secret they (Palm Beach Currumbin) have been the benchmark in Queensland for a number of years now. So for us, we see it as just a really great opportunity to give ourselves a rugby league test.
Michael Nunn THE Ipswich Jets have come back from the Sunshine Coast to prepare for a home trial against the Souths Logan Magpies on Saturday. This will be the Jets last trial game with the cancellation of the Jets v Hunters next week due to quarantine issues with the Hunters. The Jets Intrust Super Cup team lost 42-8 to the Falcons but coach Keiron Lander took positives from the trip to the Coast. Our first half was very good. I was very happy with the first 40 minutes, Lander said. I didn t make an interchange for the first half so the players out there got a good run.
