On Saturday 20th April Magpies Northern Beaches AF Club hosted their first ever home game at Magpies Sporting Club Oval. The day was a huge success with over 150 people attending the grounds throughout the day which created a great atmosphere for spectators to enjoy. Magpies Sporting Club, to their credit, prepared a top class playing surface which included a professional marked field, bar & marquee and the PK food van. The day commenced at 8am with clubs from Magpies, Hawks and Eastern Swans competing from U/13’s through to A-grade.
With temporary facilities in place, the visiting teams and spectators were able to appreciate the level of support and ongoing commitment from Magpies Sporting Club into a more permanent facility, which is shaping as a real drawcard not only for Magpies but AFL in Mackay. The Magpies NB AFC were proud of the efforts from all volunteers that assisted in making the day such a success and would like to acknowledge the support from all Club sponsors and ongoing assistance from Magpies Sporting Club. From all reports the players competing were delighted with the oval and commended the club on the professionalism shown on the day.
The Magpies NB AFC will be working hard in the coming weeks to facilitate the next Home Game against Whitsunday and look forward to seeing the Magpies faithful on hand for another great day of AFL action at the Magpies Sporting Club Oval.
