Our Hostplus Cup and Hastings Deering Colts teams will travel to North Stradbroke Island to take on the Central QLD Capras in an Indigenous recognition match. This event is proudly supported by Deadly Choices and Redland City Council and it expected to draw a significant crowd after three years away from the island.
In a bonus for the community, the event will be free to attend, with extra Sealink ferry services delivering people to and from the island. There will be local market stalls and activations throughout the day and the this event aims to provide something for the whole family. There will also be local junior matches played as a curtain-raiser to the Seagulls games. At 1:30pm, a Traditional Welcome to Country and Dance Ceremony will take place. The Seagulls would love to see as many people as possible make the trip over the North Stradbroke Island to cheer on our teams and support the local community in this Indigenous recognition match.

In a second Indigenous match for the Seagulls, our Colts and Hostplus Cup teams will make the trip to Hervey Bay to take on the Sunshine Coast Falcons. With incredible support from Deadly Choices and Fraser Coast Regional Council, this match is set to be a sell out at Ralph Stafford Park, home of the Hervey Bay Seagulls.
This match will be the third time the Seagulls have tried to host a game in the Fraser Coast region, with the first two cancelled due to covid.

The Seagulls would like to thank our great supporters for cheering us on from wherever they are situated.
