The Mama Africa Raiders, as undefeated minor premiers, will be host to the Preliminary Finals of the Mackay Rugby Union 2022 season this Saturday.
The September 3 game will see the Whitsunday Sportspark the venue of choice for the playoffs between the top six Senior A grade Men’s Teams as well as an Open Women’s game.
Whitsunday Junior rugby union will be running some games between the major events.
Kids entertainment will be available as well as live music, and food and beverages will also be available from a section of the new clubhouse, near the grandstand.
The day will commence around 11am and run through until around 6pm.
Club media official Craig Spence said the Raiders would very much appreciate the attendance of “as many spectators as possible to support the day.”
“It’s important for local rugby and the A grade Men’s team to see your support for the last home game of the season,” Mr Spence said.
“The Men in green will be vying for the first grand final spot of the 2022 season; this will be a very tough game between the Raiders and second placed Bowen Mudcrabs.”
Mr Spence said the team’s last meeting was a 27-25 victory to the Mama Africa Raiders.
Everyone is encouraged to wear a touch of green as a show of support for the Mama Africa Raiders and bring your loudest voice.
“Mama Africa raiders need you, our community, to come on down for a great day of rugby, the sport they play in heaven,” Mr Spence said.
Mama Africa Raiders have spent almost two seasons undefeated, and to end the season that way they’ll need the community’s support
