It has been a big couple of weeks as senior men unfortunately had to withdraw from the 2026 season. The women however still presented a strong showing. The Whitsunday Raiders women’s team were Mackay Rugby Union 2025 Champions and are ambitious to be in the running again for the grand final this year.
The 16th May will mark a Super Saturday for the women as the Whitsunday Sports Park will host all 4 women’s teams, putting on 2 games. The event will also host the P.W.R.U Ladies Day Function – showing appreciation for the wives, girlfriends and players with their contributions to the club.
Games will include P.W.R.U v Bowen at 3pm, Slade Point v Moranbah at 4pm, as well as potential for some 7-a-side games by the men during the day aswell.
There will be further games on June 6th against Slade Point, 20th June against Bowen and 4th July against Moranbah.
The women’s team are also playing an ANZAC Day Round in Mackay at Lepreachaun Park against Moranbah.
