Sideline Sipping On Bubbles

The Bowen Seagulls Rugby League Club will host its second ever Ladies’ Day event this weekend, inviting over 200 women to enjoy a day of champagne and rugby.

The Bowen Seagulls Women in League night was first held in 2019, the year before covid hit, and is finally returning.

A long-standing tradition for most football clubs, Ladies’ Days offer a “wonderful chance to celebrate the wives, partners, mothers, sisters, and friends of the club.”

Seagulls Ladies’ Day Committee Member, Tara Stocker, said it was also an opportunity for Bowen as a location to host more community events.

“We are so excited to be able to get an opportunity to give back to community who support this club – and what a great excuse to get dressed up and dance the night away!

The event will also fundraise for the club whilst watching the Super Saturday of Juniors and Seniors matches.

“Ladies will be sideline sipping on bubbles and indulging in canapes, there’ll be Kick for cash events, and auction and raffles at half time,” Ms Stocker said.

“And best of all there’s going to be live entertainment by Divine Appointment until late.”

Auction items include a 2022 signed Broncos jersey donated kindly by local superstar Corey Jensen, a Yeti pack valued at $500 dollars donated by HLM, and a Big 4 Airlie Beach overnight stay.

Ms Stocker said it was important to remember that the funds go towards the club, especially considering it has been 27 years since Bowen had a senior league team until now.

“It’s a perfect, fun chance to get behind the boys and club in this very important year - we want all the support we can get so we can continue to have a side for years to come,” she said.
