M Continued from P20 âAll our officials were ecstatic as well,â Strait Stars coach Sam Joe said. The team won four of their first eight matches, showing some wonderful talent. Sam nominated Ivan Mosby (Masig), Moses Dau (Boigu), Pananiend Mooka (Dauan), Zezward Banu (Badu), and girls Delena-May Ware (Iama) and Armyni Tamwoy (Mabuiag) as just some of the standouts on his team. Another bonus for the Strait Stars players was meeting former Cowboys, Queensland State of Origin and Test back Matty Bowen at Brothers Leagueâs Club grounds. âThis is a very big event with people coming from many different places,â Matty said. Zenadth Kes Stingers also performed strongly and showed some great talent. Coach Anthony Moynisan said they were disappointed not to play their first game because of an accident in the previous match. âWe lost our second game to a Mount Isa team and then won our third against Emerald,â he told the Torres News. Hundreds of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders children and adults converged on Townsville for the popular competition. It was estimated that about 30 per cent of the players were First Nations Peoples and their parents, grandparents and supporters from around the State turned out in droves. Teams were from Cairns, Townsville, Mount Isa, Mackay, Toowoomba, Yeppoon, Emerald, Atherton, Rockhampton, Bowen, Moura, Rockhampton, Clermont, Calliope, Mossman, Herbert River, Winton, Tully, Burdekin, Moranbah, Innisfail, Blackall, Blackwater, Tully, Sarina, Dysart, Cloncurry, Springsure, Gladstone, Middlemount, Mareeba, Townsville, Thursday and the Torres Strait. Strait Stars trainer Lavinia Mabo, from Warraber Island, said players and supporters had travelled from many outer islands for the event. âWe are all happy to be here even though we travelled a long way,â Lavinia said. Morris Cloudy also sat on the sideline along with thousands of others whilst many were under tents. Ingham-born Laurie Spina was the inaugural captain of the North Queensland Cowboys when they entered the competition in 1995. Spina also played with the Northern Sydney Bears, the Easts Roosters and Cronulla Sharks during his 171 game NRL career. The carnival was organised by the Cowboys and the main sponsor was Local Search.
