Currently taking part in a five-day pre-season training camp in Coffs Harbour, the Jetstar Titans took time out from their training schedule to give back to the community following Saturday night’s strong 28-22 trial match win over Souths at BCU International Stadium. Jetstar Titans forwards Luke Bailey, Brad Meyers and Aaron Cannings along with outside back Joseph Tomane spent more than hour conducting a skills clinic and signing autographs for students at Bishop Druitt College. Indigenous duo Greg Bird and Shannon Walker led a joint skills clinic and question and answer session with students at Yarrawarra Aboriginal Centre, Corindi while other Jetstar Titans players attended a school assembly at Mary Help of Christians, Sawtell. It follows on from the recent Community Carnival blitz where the Jetstar Titans visited almost 90 schools and approximately 15,000 students in regional areas such as Ipswich, Logan, the Northern Rivers and Stanthorpe. “It’s nice to be able to give back to the community, especially in areas like this that we aren’t able to visit on a regular basis,’’ said Bailey of today’s visit. “We did some similar school visits in Coffs Harbour last year and it’s good to see the kids enjoying themselves.’’ The Jetstar Titans’ pre-season camp at Coffs Harbour wraps up on Wednesday before the squad leaves for Darwin on Thursday ahead of their final pre-season trial match against the North Queensland Cowboys at Richardson Park on Saturday night, February 27. The annual camp has been an important part of the club’s pre-season preparations in recent seasons. |
