Lifetime Brothers Cairns player Tom Spark will make his Queensland cup debut for the Northern Pride as they face Brisbane Tigers in Brisbane this Saturday at 5pm.<\/p>\n

Spark has represented the Brothers Cairns club since he was 6 years old and was nominated by the Club for a train and trial with the state cup team this year .<\/p>\n

Brothers Head of football , Tim Rumford said ” When Russ Aitken (Northern pride coach) was asking for train and trial nominations- myself and Jordan, our A Grade captain-coach were in total agreement that Tom deserved this opportunity.
\nHe’s been a cornerstone of our pack during the most successful period in the clubs history – at hooker and more recently lock – he’s a tough, honest player and we are extremely proud to see another Brothers Junior graduate to State level – Tom has shown continuous improvement and that’s credit to both Jordan and our coaching team, Aswell as to Tom and his attitude towards his game”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Spark has featured for Brothers in 7 games so far this season – putting in some eye-catching performances with this direct running game and stinging defence, adding bite to Brothers formidable forward pack. Another fine performance last week in the Win against in-form Suburbs was capped with a try !<\/p>\n

Everyone at Brothers wishes Tom a great Queensland cup debut , do your thing Sparksy !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
