Les Stagg Oval was awash with pink on Saturday as the Whitsunday Brahmans hosted a spectacular Ladies Day, with picket fences, florals and a sold-out VIP section creating the perfect backdrop for one of the club's biggest events of the season.
More than 105 passionate Brahmans women filled the exclusive VIP area, proudly supporting the club as all three men's sides took on the Wests Tigers in front of a fantastic home crowd.
The Under 20s opened proceedings with a determined performance, taking the field with a new level of confidence and purpose. Strong displays from Somè Wolf, Kassius Bell and 17-year-old junior Brahman Riley Snow, making his Under 20s debut, helped set the tone for the afternoon. The Tetley brothers were outstanding with the boot, combining to convert all three attempts as the young Brahmans secured an impressive 18-10 victory to kick-start the day.
Reserve Grade continued the momentum with an entertaining contest. Tries to Lochie Wake, Fletcher Turner, Luke MacDonald, Byron Chauntler and Carlo Moretto gave the home side control, while Byron Taylor was perfect from the tee, landing five conversions from five attempts. The Brahmans held firm to claim a well-earned 30-22 win, making it two victories from two heading into the feature match.
The A Grade men faced a tough challenge against the Tigers, taking the field without a full-strength squad. While the side defended courageously throughout the contest, they struggled to find their usual attacking rhythm and depth against a quality opposition. Despite a massive defensive effort, the Brahmans were held scoreless, with the Tigers claiming an 18-0 victory.
Off the field, Ladies Day was a tremendous success, with the sea of pink, beautiful floral styling and incredible atmosphere making it a memorable occasion for everyone involved.
The Whitsunday Brahmans extend a sincere thank you to all of the sponsors, supporters and volunteers whose hard work helped make the day such a success.
The action returns to Les Stagg Oval this Saturday for Sponsors Day, with all four Brahmans teams, including the women, taking on one of their biggest rivals, the Moranbah Miners. Kick-off begins from 2pm, and the club encourages everyone to come along, wear the purple and green with pride, and get behind the Brahmans for another huge day of rugby league.
