The fields of rugby league club Hibiscus Coast Raiders in Stanmore Bay were packed on Saturday, May 14 as seven out of eight junior teams had games at home.
Club Captain Seth Gleeson says this rarely happens and it was just the way the draw fell.
Having so many teams and their supporters at home was an unexpected bonus for the club, with a good crowd enjoying the sport in great weather.
Seth says seeing the kids and their families out enjoying the league, it felt like they’d cast off the shackles of Covid-19.
It was also a bit of a preview of the Raiders’ official Club Day, which this year will be held on its 40th anniversary, Saturday, July 2.
That special day will see all eight junior teams, and the seniors who are in the Fox Memorial Premier tournament, play at home. There will be plenty of additional bells and whistles to mark the anniversary, Seth says.
