The competition is named after the late Cyril Connell, who was born in Rockhampton.
Connell played 24 games for Queensland and two for Australia, but it was his role as a recruitment officer at the Brisbane Broncos for which he was probably best known.
Carpenter said the challenge was designed to give players an introduction to the QRL’s older age and open statewide competitions. Ryder Huth, pictured playing for the The Cathedral College, will line up at fullback for the CQ Capras under-16 team in their Cyril Connell Challenge opener on Saturday.
He said there had been a great response from the region’s players who were keen to get their shot.
