WELCOME
The StreetSmarts Secondary School T20 Challenge is designed to help Education
Queensland and Queensland Cricket promote and develop the game of cricket
throughout the State. This competition provides male and female Secondary School
students the chance to participate in a formal State-Wide Cricket Competition while
gaining a great experience within their divisions:
• Intermediate Male
• Open Male
• Intermediate Female
• Open Female
The competition offers a shorter format to help more schools participate and limit the
amount of travel during knock out stages. We also believe that schools that reach the
Conference and State Finals will leave with a memorable experience for their students.

ARRIVE SAFE THIS SUMMER

The Queensland Government is proud to be a major partner of the StreetSmarts
Secondary Schools T20 Challenge.

The government has partnered with Queensland Cricket for a number of years to promote
the importance of road safety to our next generation.

I am pleased to see that cricket and the T20 format continues to be so popular. The skills
you learn on the field and from being part of a team will help you to be a safe driver too.

Everyone has a role to play, whether you are a driver or a passenger. It is important to use
your StreetSmarts to follow the road rules, avoid distractions, and look out for your mates.

We are committed to making the road safer for everyone, but we can’t do it alone.
We need your help to lead the way when it comes to making the best and safest
decisions on the road.

Enjoy this T20 season, get involved and most importantly, stay safe on the roads.

The Hon. Mark Bailey MP

Minister for Transport and Main Roads

Proudly supported by StreetSmarts, a social change program
of the Queensland Government

STAGE BRIEF
In previous competitions, there have been problems completing games by the due date. It is
crucial that we stick to the dates allocated. Please plan your games to allow for bad weather,
exams, other sporting commitments, administrative requirements, etc. If a game can’t be played
by that date, you must contact your Regional Convenor and it will be up to them as to whether an
extension can be granted or if both teams are to forfeit. Once one school or match falls behind,
others are then impacted upon. It is also expected that once you commit to this competition you
do not forfeit the conference or state final.
Each district will have a Convenor who takes nominations and Organises the Stage 1 district draw.
