International Legends of League Game Day.

Saturday the 8th of May, was game day and the weather held off for this amazing event.

The community well and truly showed up in their numbers to cheer on the event with a crowd of over 2000’s supporters.

The community field and stands were outstanding and the hospitality on the day from the Biloela Panthers Rugby League club was exceptional.

A huge afternoon of Rugby League with community games playing right up until the main event, the Rebel Sports Callide Valley Allstars versus the Mining Skills Australia Aussie Legends Team.

With Emma as Coach, how could they loose 😉 …ha ha! Lucky for her and the team NRL Legend Terry Matterson was there to not only play, but give her a few pointers!!

It was a fantastic game, with a lot of big hits and plays from both teams with the Rebel Sports Callide Valley Allstars in the lead at half time.

Mining Skills Australia‘s own Emma and Geoff Bradshaw had run on, with Geoff delivering a couple of excellent plays and Emma scoring a try (unfortunately, her field goal kicking was not as good!), and a huge amount of skill and help obviously from the International Legends of League, NRL legends themselves, the Mining Skills Australia Skills Aussie team took the win.

Thank you again to all involved.

A fantastic occasion to meet other members of the BANANA SHIRE COUNCIL, Woorabinda Aboriginal Shire Council, Biloeala community, mingle and meet with the players from both the Biloela Panthers and International Legends of League and participate in a charity auction.
