What a weekend for the Whitsunday Sea Eagles Senior Men! After an unfortunate forfeit from the Bakers Creek Tigers women’s side, all eyes turned to the men to deliver a win for the home crowd.

It was a hard-fought battle from the first bounce to the final siren, with both teams going stride for stride in a tight contest. 

‍

The intensity never dropped, as each side attacked the ball with hunger and determination, refusing to give an inch.

In the end, it was the Sea Eagles who rose to the occasion, holding their nerve and finishing strong to claim the win by a solitary point in front of their home crowd.

‍

With the final score 69-68 the Sea Eagles way, Hudson McGregor was awarded the best on ground honours for his bag of five goals in trying conditions.

This Saturday the 9th of May the Sea Eagles head down to Rodger’s Oval in Mackay to battle it out with the Eastern Swans. Will our teams come out victorious? Be there and find out!

‍

Young athletes from across the Whitsundays were recognised for their impressive achievements at a recent Ordinary Council meeting in Proserpine.

Mayor Ry Collins and Councillors acknowledged a group of junior competitors who have excelled at regional, state and national levels, supported through Council’s Junior Elite Athletes initiative.  

‍

The program provides financial assistance to help cover the costs of competing in representative sport, ensuring local talent can pursue opportunities without being held back by expense.

Among those recognised on the day were Kayne Higgins (cross country), Adelaide Sanders and Eli Gerrand (football and futsal), Axel Yuskan, Evelyn Doherty, Declan Dichiera, Eloise Chegwidden, Lucas Korosec, Jax Clayworth and Zane Clayworth (swimming), Reid and Rory Martin (sailing), and Ben Hope (cricket).

‍

Council also paid tribute to several athletes who were unable to attend but have achieved outstanding results. These included Kade Harrison and Skye Brodhurst (volleyball), Thomas O’Neill (motocross), Karlee and Byron Goodin (football), Isabella Pisaniello and Charlie Doherty (swimming), Amber Benson (rugby league), Millie Groom (cross country), Roxanne Groom and James Davies (swimming), Russell Harris (sailing), and Matilda Nichols (triathlon and aquathon).

Mayor Collins said the recognition highlights not only sporting success, but the commitment and resilience shown by these young athletes.

“These athletes are fantastic ambassadors for the Whitsundays,” he said. “Their hard work and determination is something the whole community can be proud of.”

The Junior Elite Athletes initiative continues to play an important role in supporting the region’s emerging talent, helping athletes take the next step in their sporting journeys.

‍

With a wide range of sports represented—from swimming pools and athletics tracks to sailing courses and football fields—the Whitsundays continues to produce a diverse and promising group of young competitors.

Council encourages families and aspiring athletes to learn more about the program and the support available, as the region continues to back its next generation of sporting stars.

The 2026 Foley Shield was played over the weekend in Cairns, with well over 80 years worth of history in our region. The Foley Shield is the epitome of representative rugby league in North Queensland.

‍

With five of our local Whitsunday Brahman men selected for the Mackay Sea Eagles side, including Sam Moorhouse, Adam Butterill, Darcy Turner and Hawaiike Annandale as players, and Harley Bateup as men’s assistant coach working beside the ever-talented former NRL player Kane Linnett, the club was proudly represented. Eddy Cates was also selected as women’s assistant coach, with Shirley Luke earning selection in the women’s team.

‍

Our troops set to Cairns with one mission in mind — to make a statement.

‍

The men walked away with a win in their opening game on Saturday against a favoured Cairns side, 24–16. In an extremely close match, they played their cards right and came out on top. This was followed by the Mackay Sea Eagles women’s team, who defeated Cairns 24–4. Both teams then faced off later on Saturday against last year’s big threat, Townsville.

‍

The men were down at half time but refused to count themselves out. They came back hard in the second half, taking on the defence with confidence and control. Mackay turned the tables to secure an incredible 32–26 victory, claiming the 2026 Foley Shield in what was a massive upset over the reigning champions.

‍

Unfortunately, the women’s side were unable to overcome a strong Townsville outfit, going down 20–10. Despite the result, the team held their heads high, proud of their selections and the opportunity to represent, while enjoying a memorable weekend away in Cairns.

‍

The Mackay Sea Eagles men’s team celebrated their milestone win on the journey home, holding the trophy high and soaking in a well-earned victory. Mackay had not lifted the Foley Shield since 2021, making the achievement even more special.

‍

Coach Kane Linnett, along with his players and staff, have every reason to be proud. The shield has returned home to Mackay — and if this performance is anything to go by, it may be there to stay for some time.

‍

Nine competitors from the Northern Beaches Shito-Ryu Karate Dojo returned home with an impressive 29 medals after competing at the Traditional Japanese Karate National Championships in Adelaide recently.

The team featured a diverse mix of athletes, including a 10- and 12-year-old, three teenagers and four adults. Sensei Helle competed while also serving as a judge at the national event.

For some competitors it was their first ever tournament and first medal, while others stepped up into new and far more challenging divisions.

‍

After months of intense training and weekends dedicated to refining their skills, each team member demonstrated strong technique and commitment to their martial art. With Sensei Helle also working as a judge, the dojo maintains a high training standard that was clearly reflected in the team’s results.

Preparation continued even after arriving in Adelaide, with athletes taking part in beach training sessions and visiting a local dojo as guests.

‍

The results proved to be a family affair.

Brothers Nathanial and Aksel competed alongside their mum, Sensei Helle, while friend Logan secured two gold, one silver and one bronze medal.

‍

Tim claimed one gold and one bronze medal, while Nicky earned one gold, one silver and two bronze. 10-year-old Phoenix collected two gold, one silver and one bronze.

Martha celebrated her first ever competition and medal haul with one gold and two bronze, while her son Kaito secured two gold and one bronze.

‍

Following the championships, the team celebrated their achievements by exploring Adelaide and the Barossa Valley.

Sensei Helle reflected on the experience, saying growth happens in the dojo but lifelong bonds are forged on the road.

‍

The Northern Beaches Karate club runs classes during the school term on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Bucasia Community Hall in Wallace Avenue. For more information contact 0488 146 644.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing, but across the grades there was plenty to celebrate in a spirited weekend of football.

Friday night saw both Divisional Men’s sides impress against Mackay Rangers. Div 2 showed great grit to secure a 3–2 victory, with Kadon Howell opening his account, Chen Quach adding another, and Rale Mudford netting the winner. Div 1 delivered a clinical 5–2 result, highlighted by Hayden Vanderdrift’s second consecutive hat-trick, supported by goals from Jake Flaherty and Nathan Sothmann.

Our women set the tone on Saturday with a determined 3–2 comeback win over Rangers. After falling 2–0 behind, Michelle Sothman’s driving finish ignited belief before Sarah Chilton scored twice to cap a resilient performance.

The FQPL Men enjoyed a dominant home round against Wanderers. The U23s ran rampant in an 8–2 win, with Kai Savy bagging a hat-trick alongside goals from Pepe Perea, Sebastian Shand, Sam Frumento (2) and Ben Seago. The Premiers followed with an equally emphatic 8–1 victory, Ethan Rose leading the charge with a hat-trick. Further goals from Thomas Farnsworth, Reef Peel, Max O’Keefe and Mikey Nash sealed a commanding result.

Our U14/15 squads showed strong character on Sunday. U14/15 Div 1 fought back to claim a 6–2 win over Dolphins, while the U14/15 FQPL side battled hard but went down 2–1 despite a late penalty from Nick Moranino.

The U13s also impressed, with a solid defensive display from the back line the U13 FQPL team securing a composed 2–0 win against Country United, with goals from Jace Hickey and Connor Miller. The U13 Div 1 put in a strong effort but conceded a 5–3 loss against Magpies Black. 

A weekend showcasing resilience, growth and exciting football across every age group.

What began as a picture-perfect Whitsunday morning turned into a test of patience for sailors competing in the Abell Point Yacht Club’s annual Warri Cup yacht race on Sunday 12 April.

‍

With bright blue skies overhead and calm seas across Pioneer Bay, the fleet gathered for the scheduled 11am start off Airlie Beach.  While the weather looked ideal for spectators, competitors quickly realised the day would be a challenging one as the wind refused to play.

‍

Instead of the usual lively charge across the course, yachts found themselves drifting slowly in glassy conditions.  Some boats barely moved at all and at times the gentle current made it appear as though they were sailing backwards.

‍

Race organisers and competitors remained hopeful that a breeze might fill in and allow the race to continue, but the Whitsundays had other plans.  As the hours passed with little change in conditions, several yachts began to retire from the race.

By around 1.30pm, with still no meaningful wind and concern that boats could be out on the course well into the evening, the difficult decision was made to abandon the race. While some sailors were keen to persevere, others were relieved to turn for home.

‍

“You can’t keep everyone happy in a yacht race,” organisers said afterwards. “But sometimes the weather simply doesn’t cooperate.”

‍

Despite the lack of racing, the Warri Cup remains one of the Abell Point Yacht Club’s most anticipated events and a highlight on the local sailing calendar.

‍

The race is now rescheduled for a re-run on Sunday 24 May 2026 and hopefully the wind decides to join the party this time.

Wednesday the Proserpine Bowls Club had thirteen people for bowls and Graham Thrupp decided that it  was the ideal time to give his new bowls a practice so that he could start to work out exactly what they do without the pressures of playing in a game.  This always a great way to reacquaint ourselves with just what can be done with our bowls.

‍

In Social Bowls John Anderson, Henny Tattam and Trevor Parsons defeated Alen Sanderson, Arthur Griffith and Mike Harrison 18 - 12, coming from behind by scoring a 6 in the 16th end to edge ahead leading into the last end with a 2 shotmargin.  We all know that in the last end if you are behind, it's no good playing safe, you must go for shots.

‍

In the other game of Social Bowls on Wednesday, Nolwenn and Thomas visitors from France were introduced to bowls for the first time.  Nolwenn, Barry Zillmann and Heather Brown defeated Thomas, Mary Hedgelong and Philip Brown 30 - 6.

‍

In Social Bowls on Sunday, Thomas, Arthur Griffith and Heather Brown defeated Nolwenn, Philip Brown and Trevor Parsons 24 - 14.  This was a much closer game than the scores indicate.

‍

In the other game of Social Bowls on Sunday, Alen Sanderson, Henny Tattam and Mark Holmes defeated Graham Thrupp, Bruce Uhe and Mike Harrison 24 - 18.
