AFLW is making its exciting return to Mackay as the Gold Coast Suns take on Carlton at the Great Barrier Reef Arena. The region is thrilled to welcome back Mackay’s very own Lauren Bella, Alana Gee and Wallis Randell, who will all be showcasing their skills in front of a local crowd.
This match is a significant event for the region, bringing two traveling teams to North Queensland. Carlton, a renowned team from Victoria, will clash with the Gold Coast Suns, representing Queensland’s vibrant Gold Coast. It’s a rare and exciting opportunity for local fans to experience top-tier AFLW action right in their backyard.
In addition to the on-field excitement, this event offers a fantastic opportunity for the next generation of fans. With free entry for kids under 18, the match provides young people with access to quality sporting entertainment and the chance to be inspired by elite athletes. It’s a unique opportunity for families to engage with the sport and for young fans to witness the highest level of women’s football.
Adrian Young, CEO of Harrup Park and the Great Barrier Reef Arena, expressed his enthusiasm about the event and said, "Bringing AFLW back to Mackay, especially with local stars like Lauren Bella, Alana Gee and Wallis Randell, is a special moment for our community.
“We’re looking forward to an incredible day of footy."
Terry Doolan, Chairman of Harrup Park and the Great Barrier Reef Arena, added, "Hosting the Suns and Carlton in Mackay underlines our commitment to delivering top-tier sport to the region.
“This event is more than just a game; it’s about community, pride and giving young people a chance to see what they can aspire to."
Harrup Park added that the Mackay Regional Council continue to be a driver for the success of major events in our region and without their ongoing support these events would not happen.
