Meet our Adopt-a-School superman!

It's usually a team effort, but Cowboys Adopt-a-School visits are continuing in Term 3 with the hard work and dedication of club legend Matthew "Mango" Bowen!

With the NRL isolation 'bubble' continuing for the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys players, Matt is visiting program schools as team representative for their 'adopted' Cowboys, with the help of his offsider Gavin Lloyd.
