It’s always a spirited affair when Yeppoon and Emu Park face off in footy’s battle of the beach, but Saturday’s showdown will be a particularly emotional one.
The A-grade teams will play for the Rhys Yore Memorial Shield when they meet at Yeppoon’s Webb Park in Round 1 of the 2021 Rockhampton Rugby League competition.
The shield was donated by the Yore family in honour of Rhys, a Yeppoon junior and St Brendan’s College Year 11 student who was killed in a single-vehicle crash in January.
The death of the popular teenager, described as an “irreplaceable mate to so many”, sent shockwaves through the coast community.
