The Magpies Sporting Club Mackay has awarded its Time to Shine - Women in Sport Grant to local rugby union talent, Hula Day. Hula, an active member of both the Slade Point Rugby Union Women's team and the Mackay Stingers, regularly travels to Moranbah, Bowen, and Airlie Beach to compete.
In June, Hula represented the U18s CQ Bushrangers at the Queensland Country Rugby Union competition in Rockhampton, gaining valuable experience against some of the state's top athletes. Passionate about rugby union, Hula is not only a player but also a dedicated coach and umpire, regularly officiating junior games. She has completed several programs, including the Touch 7s referee smart tackle course and the Rugby 7s coaching skills program.
Her goal is to advance her refereeing skills with aspirations to officiate at games across Australia. Additionally, she coaches with Apex Athletics Academy and for Mackay Christian College.
The grant from Magpies Sporting Club will help Hula on her journey as she prepares to compete at the Global 7s competition in Auckland, where she’ll face players from around the world. The funding will assist with her travel and registration expenses.
“We are proud to support local talent like Hula, who is not only a fantastic athlete but also gives back to the community through coaching and refereeing,” said a Magpies representative.
