SPORT Maryborough to host Seagulls v Falcons Hostplus Cup clash

Craig Winter

THE Wynnum Manly Seagulls will take on the Sunshine Coast Falcons in a Hostplus Cup clash on July 29 at Eskdale Park in Maryborough, giving the region a significant tourism boost.

Mayor George Seymour said that this was the third time the Fraser Coast had hosted an indigenous recognition game of Queensland’s premier state-wide rugby league competition.

“This grows our reputation as a premier sports region.” said Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour.

Last time they met in Maryborough, the Seagulls came away with a 20-12 win over the Falcons.

“The Hostplus Cup is a pathway to the NRL for elite rugby league players,” he said.

“The teams will be incorporating training clinics and a fan day into their visit.” he said.

“It will be fantastic for local players and fans to see such high level games in their backyard.”

Galangoor Duwalami

Primary Healthcare CEO Stevan Ober and Manly CEO Wayne Weekes presented the locally designed jersey for the round.

“Aunty Karen, a Butchulla community elder from Hervey Bay created this design.” said Mr Ober.

“She’s been a great supporter of what we do as an organisation. The design is around some of our local totems on the Fraser Coast and will be worn with great pride.”

Wynnum-Manly CEO Wayne Weekes said “Sport has such an important part to play within our communities.”

“It promotes health, wellbeing, positive mindsets and supporting local communities.” he said.

“Not only is this match an opportunity to showcase the Hostplus Cup competition on the Fraser Coast region, but it’s also a wonderful opportunity to connect with Galangoor Duwalami and the Fraser Coast Regional Council to support healthy and active lifestyles and stimulate local economic growth.”

“Sporting events bring thousands of visitors who inject millions of dollars into the economy.”

The Manly v Sunshine Coast match precedes the Dolphins v Bulldogs game to be played in Bundaberg the next day, making for a weekend of high level footy action in the region.

Tickets for the Maryborough game including all supporting matches, are available at the gate for $10 on the day. Children under 15 get free entry.
