An early netball derby is headed Mackay’s way, with the inaugural Suncorp Spirit Cup taking place at the Mackay Multisport Stadium on Saturday, November 26.
The Queensland Firebirds and Sunshine Coast Lightning will tussle it out for pre-season honours, but in celebration of bringing the event to Mackay, some special community events are taking place before the highly anticipated game.
The “Night with the Firebirds” event on Friday, November 25 will feature a behind-the-scenes panel discussion with the entire team. This is a rare opportunity as the only other time the squad will be completely together like this at a public event is the team’s annual gala dinner.
Hosted at Souths Leagues Club, this unique opportunity to mix and mingle with the entire Queensland Firebirds team over dinner and drinks will also include a live panel discussion featuring inside gossip from the entire team and Head Coach Bec Bulley from their preparations for the 2023 season.
The event runs from 5.30pm to 8.30pm and a ticket includes access to the event, main course and a drink on arrival. More info and bookings available at https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/971916.

It’s being held from 5.30pm to 9pm at the Mackay Basketball Stadium as well as the workshop, a booking for this also includes a courtside seat for the Suncorp Spirit Cup.
