Capras’ Brent Williams pushes through the defence.

FOR 30 minutes it looked as though the Norths Devils were going to run rings around the Central Queensland Capras, but with a large and vocal crowd behind them the Capras turned the tables coming tantalisingly close to victory.

But it’s the inclusion of her logo to the Central Queensland Capras’ football jerseys which Mikaela is most excited about.

ORICA and the Central Queensland Capras may seem unlikely partners, but the two have joined forces with the Department of Communities with the common goal of stopping domestic violence.

Orica site manager Stewart Wotton said using a sport young men were associated with, such as rugby league, was a golden opportunity to get the message across.

“This makes sense to me,” Mr Wotton said.

Brothers player Rhys Chapman will join the Capras squad. George Jarrett has also been called into the side.

IT’S THE Intrust Super Cup Rivalry Round and it opens tonight with the CQ Capras travelling to Mackay to play against the Cutters.

The two teams go into the match on the back of contrasting form.

In the last round, the Capras were well beaten by Redcliffe while the Cutters went to Brisbane and beat an Easts team that is considered one of the championship favourites.

THERE are certain times in a game when spectators start to think their team has the match.

That happened twice to the CQ Capras yesterday as the local team went down 36-28 in a Browne Park thriller.

Capras Go Back To Their Roots

capras — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 01:08:01 +0000

THE Central Queensland Intrust Super Cup team has returned to its roots after the club changed its name back to the Capras.

Capras chief executive Brenton Williamson said he hoped the relaunch of the name would help players outside Rockhampton feel more connected to the club.

“One of our criticisms in the past was that we didn’t do enough outside of Rockhampton,” Williamson said.

Don’t Give Up On Our Team

SADLY the Capras’ fairytale has come to an abrupt halt.

But this is only a point in time.

A brilliant pre-season preparation, the most successful launch and a winning start at home to the Intrust Cup had wiped some bad memories and created enormous hope.

We want a big start to season

CQ Capras captain Tim Glasby and chief executive Brenton Williamson hope for a turnout of 2000 at this weekend’s first home game.

A BIG season is set to get off to a big start.

Rarely in modern times has a rugby league year been planned with such optimism among those who run the game and those who fill the stands, and their feelings of hope are only set to amplify at Sunday afternoon’s opening game for the Intrust Super Cup season.

The Central Queensland Capras unveiled their team for the round one match against Sunshine Coast on Wednesday, picking up 13 born and bred CQ players.

Chief executive of the Capras Brenton Williamson is encouraging the Central Queensland region to get behind the “truly local” side.

Fringe player gets a shot

Kayan Davis looks forward to playing half back for the Capras against a CQ Invitation team at Browne Park tonight.

IT IS the final opportunity for players on the fringe of the Capras to put their hands up for the Queensland Cup opener against Sunshine Coast and young half-back Kayan Davis is going to give it his best shot.

The quietly spoken 22-year-old will be one of the smallest footballers on the park but coach John Harbin has been impressed with his attitude at training and his work ethic.

Now it is up to Davis to prove he is the man to guide the Capras around the park.

Last week the Capras satisfied the coach with their work in defence but the creative side of their game is reflected in the fact they failed to cross the line.

Capras are on trial

Yeppoon Seagulls lock Gavin Hiscox will take every opportunity in his first trial match with the Capras.

CQ Capras coach John Harbin has named another experimental squad for Saturday’s trial match at Browne Park against a Central Queensland Invitation team.

However, he is adamant it is up to the players to decide if they are in the 18 to be named for the season opener.

“What we are looking for is the players to help me pick the 18 for the Sunshine Coast game,” he said.
