Four Whitsunday Sea Eagles teams were back on the road last weekend, travelling to various locations as part of AFL Mackay’s Indigenous Round.
The Under 13s braved an early start in their Indigenous guernseys, facing off against the Sarina Demons in tough, muddy conditions. Despite their grit and determination, the Sea Eagles were unable to hold back the Demons in the third quarter, eventually going down 15–34.
At Rogers Oval, the Under 15s faced a tough challenge against the Eastern Swans. Undermanned from the outset, the Sea Eagles struggled to keep pace and lost ground each quarter, finishing with a 7–68 defeat. The team fought hard to the final siren and showed true resilience despite the scoreboard.
The highlight of the day came from the Senior Women, who dominated their match against the Mackay City Hawks. Playing on the Hawks' backup ground—conditions which suited the Sea Eagles' attacking style—the team put on a commanding performance, securing a 72–0 win. The Senior Women’s side continues to build momentum this season, strengthening their teamwork and refining their skills with each game.
Meanwhile, the Senior Men had a slow start against Mackay City Hawks and couldn’t recover the deficit, finishing with a 51–77 loss.
Looking ahead, this weekend 24th May is City vs Country hosted by Sea Eagles in Airlie Beach where AFLQ Mackay representatives from each Club come together to play each other under City or Country teams.
