This past weekend marked the start of the 2025 AFL season at the Sea Eagles' home ground, after some weather-related cancellations the week before. Three of the five teams were out on the field, showing great promise for the season ahead.
The Sea Eagles U13s kicked things off in thrilling fashion, pulling off a nail-biter against Sarina. After trailing by 5 points in the last quarter, the team made a fantastic comeback to secure a 4-point win in their first game of the season.
The Sea Eagles Senior Women faced off against the competition leaders, the Saints, and while they were defeated by 74 points, the team, with many new players this year, is looking forward to seeing the squad grow and improve throughout the season under new Coach Matt Reddaway.
In a strong showing, the Sea Eagles Senior Men led from start to finish, comfortably defeating the Saints by over 4 goals. This was a fantastic result under the leadership of Coaches Jake Turner and Alex Rodgers.
With the season now in full swing, we’re calling on volunteers to help ensure that the Sea Eagles continue to thrive both on and off the field.
As a fully volunteer-run club, your support is crucial. We need help in the following areas:
Club Treasurer (or Assistant): Help with EFTs and float setups for home games. Experience with Xero is a bonus but not required.
Website Design/Maintenance: If you have web design skills, we’d love your help keeping our website updated.
Sports Media Assistant: Assist with collating results and writing media releases each Sunday.
Canteen Set-Up Supervisor: Oversee the canteen set-up at home games and supervise new volunteers.
If you’d like to be part of the Sea Eagles’ success this season, please reach out! Message us on Facebook or email whitseaeagles@outlook.com. Together, we can make 2025 a memorable year for the club!
