If it’s pink, you are in luck, and tonight is your night to shine.
Tonight is a massive night for sporting fans in Mackay. It’s a night to get your pink on and have some loud fun at Mackay Basketball on Juliet Street because our top-level competition, the NBL1 North comp starts up, and tonight is the night you don’t want to miss.
Our Meteors and Meteorettes start their 2024 campaign against Townsville, and we want to fill the stadium, make more noise than ever before, and start the year off in style.
We’ve got a stack of great players coming back for this season including Chelsea Brook and Samantha Haiby for the Meteorettes, and Todd Blanchfield and Emmanuel Malou for the Meteors, so you know it’s going to be a star-studded year of fun at Candlestick Park!
If you’ve never been to a game before, just think of a big room, lots of music, heaps of fun, a basketball game to watch, and a great night to be had. That’s what this season will be and more. I reckon we’ve got what it takes to take the title this year, but we need you to join us.
I’ll be the crazy one on the microphone having some fun with you in the crowd, so I reckon you’re mad if you don’t come along.
Tonight is also a wonderful night to come down, because it’s a pink night fundraiser for the McGrath Foundation so they can get more breast care nurses on the ground in the Mackay region. We have two, but we need more.
So tonight, will be a pink night, with pink hair, pink shirts for sale, raffle tickets, pink basketballs, pink players jersey’s being auctioned after the games with all funds going to help the McGrath Foundation do the great work, they continue to provide many women battling this horrible disease.
Over the years we’ve had Jason Borg, legend of the Meteors come dressed in a pink wig! There’s even been local superstar Graeme Connors, adorned with pink singing our national anthem. That’s all been done in the past. What will happen tonight? We are only hours away.
Plus, the ladies are playing for the annual Shelley Rutland Memorial Trophy as this Mackay – Townsville rivalry continues.
I hope to see you down there tonight for a great night of fun. I may even wear my pink suit again!
You can join Rob Kidd from 5am weekday mornings on 4MK 1026 AM in Mackay and Proserpine, 91.5FM in Airlie Beach or just ask your smart speaker to play 4MK on iHeartRadio!
