DID YOU KNOW??

It is over 15 years since the Raiders club last fielded a Reserve Grade team (join in!)

 

Raiders Reserves started the club in 1982 & were minor premiers but lost the Grand Final to Moranbah in a cliff hanger... (extra time??)

 

In 1992/1993 Raiders Reserves won back to back Grand Finals - their only 2 GF's. 

 

1993 Raiders won both A & Reserve Grade Grand Finals..maybe this year too..20+yrs!

 

2013 sees the Raiders with 12 Home Games for both grades - unprecedented - so your support is needed to secure home games in the future - something we've always wanted...

 

So far 43 players have registered with the club - more pending - with over 47 having attended training runs....great year ahead & great way to socialise & meet new friends.

 

Raiders have never had a declared FnWAG's club before - fantastic support!!

Celebrating Melbourne weather in the tropical north!

A quick update about this weekend - AFL fixture at the Whitsunday Sportspark, Jubilee Pocket just past Airlie Beach.

 

We are hosting the Country Championships for the under 16's over both days.

 

There are 4 local kids in the Mackay squad (Tory Pendrey, Max Manners, and Deon Ball & Eli Gunders), and we are hoping they go to the next level which is the country squad (Kookaburras).

 

Teams are from Cape York, Cairns, Townsville, and Mackay & Capricornia and will be a very good contest.

 

As with the past few carnivals & events which have been a massive success we are calling for volunteer help over the two days.

 

If possible we need assistance on Saturday & Sunday with running the BBQ and helping out with canteen duty, scoreboard & the like.

 

This will be one of our biggest fundraisers so all the help will be appreciated.

 

If volunteers could be at the ground on Saturday & Sunday at 8.00am that would be fantastic.

 

Thank you all for your ongoing support of the Sea Eagles & especially the representative program. The more kids that play at this higher level the better their transition into senior football will be.

 

There will be people from the Gold Coast Suns recruiting staff & also the QLD under 16's coach so please wear your Sea Eagles polo shirts to showcase the club & region. We are vying for AFL teams to come here next year for their Pre Season training camps.
