Development Officer Tim Nugent said the visits were an important factor for the Mendi Blackhawks.

“We love heading out to the regional clubs in our community,” Nugent said.

“Some of the activities we do with the juniors include development clinics, fun skills and drills as well as coaching updates for the coach’s.”

Visits will continue this weekend in Ayr, the venue for the Mendi Blackhawks and Redcliffe Dolphins clash.

Prior to the game on Friday night, the Burdekin Roosters will be auctioning off 4 jerseys worn by the Mendi Blackhawks, which feature the Burdekin bridge on the chest and the red, white and blue colours of the club.
