Hi All,
Central Scorpions have ceased activities for the 2021 season. This year, Central Scorpions was not able to reach an agreement with the Cairns District Rugby League for the continued use of Jones Park. In the past, Central Scorpions ran the Jones Park canteen, and donations from the running of the canteen given to the Jones Park Board by Central Scorpions, as part of our agreement with the Jones Park Board, helped maintain the grounds, and allowed us to retain Jones Park as our home ground. Without a home ground, our registration numbers for this year, are markedly down, and insufficient, as determined by the Far North Queensland Rugby League, to participate in this season. We would like to thank the FNQRL for offering their commitment to Central Scorpions in helping us to hopefully secure a ground so that we can continue as a club in the 2022 season. We would also like to thank all players, parents, and volunteers who have tirelessly and selflessly helped the club over the years and hope that our club will have the opportunity to see you again in the 2022 season. In the interests of transparency, a letter from the FNQRL outlining the above, but with personal information removed, is posted here.
Kind regards,
Club Executive
