The Country Brothers Rugby League Club is a First Nations rugby league club that supports young Indigenous boys and girls through sport. Mitchell Water recently sponsored the team to compete in the 2025 Queensland Murri Carnival, an annual eight-day celebration of Indigenous culture and rugby league, held from 19–28 September 2025 at the South Pine Sporting Complex in Brendale, Queensland. The event is organised by the Arthur Beetson Foundation and includes senior and junior rugby league competitions.
The event places a major focus on health and education for participants and aims to honour the legacy of Indigenous rugby league great Arthur Beetson. Erin, Treasurer of the club, advised us, “Mixed Under 12s and 10s smashed their games. 12s won 3 out of 4 games and 10s won 2 out of 4 games,” so overall it sounds like the teams did very well and the carnival was extremely successful.
