The jampacked annual Sugar Bowl returned to the court for its 43rd year in the Burdekin as hosted by the Home Hill Tennis Association. One of the hottest events on the North Queensland tennis calendar, the 2024 Sugar Bowl impressed spectators once again with teams travelling from as far afield as Brisbane and Mareeba to compete in the event from the 4 – 6 of May.
