Rugby league has always been about more than just what happens on the field, it’s about family, mateship, and memories that last a lifetime. This season, the Old Gulls Association is proud to launch a brand new Junior Pass, designed to give kids the chance to experience the magic of live local rugby league without barriers.
With the Junior Pass kids get free entry to the game, plus a free hot dog and drink on arrival. It’s a simple idea with a big goal, making game day fun, affordable and welcoming for every family in our Rugby League community.
Wynnum Manly Juniors Chairman Julie Kovacic said, “It is a great idea and has been very well received by all junior coaches and players and expects it to be a success.”
For parents, it means an easier decision to attend matches. For kids, it means their first taste of the crowd, the colours, the tackles, and the thrill of cheering on their local team. For the Wynnum Manly Football Club, it’s about investing in the next generation of players, fans and volunteers.
We know that many lifelong supporters fell in love with rugby league as kids standing on the hill, running around with mates and dreaming of pulling on the Wynnum Manly jersey one day. The Junior Pass is about creating those same moments again.
Old Gulls Chairman Doug Belford said, “By opening the gates to juniors and adding a free game-day feed, we’re sending a clear message, that this club is for families and this game belongs to the community.”
The Wynnum Manly Junior pass is valid from this Sunday’s blockbuster clash against Redcliffe and can be used for the remaining QLD Hostplus Cup matches throughout the normal 2026 season at Kougari Oval.
Bring the kids, bring the noise, and help us build the future of rugby league, one junior fan at a time.
