More than four points will be on the line on Saturday when the North Mackay Saints clash with rival Mackay Magpies on Saturday at Zeolla Park.
The two Australian rules sides remain the last two undefeated teams in the Senior Men’s Allied Cup, with the Saints boasting a staggering 2977.78 per cent.
Despite being an early-season clash between the competition’s top sides, there is opportunity for both teams to take the ladder lead and bragging rights within Mackay.
North Mackay won its second consecutive premiership last season, with the Magpies having lost in the semi-final against Eastern Swans.
Finishing the day with a win and a loss, this year is full of potential for the young team as they look set to improve on last season.
The senior women played for the inaugural Barb Adamson pre-season Carnival Shield designed as a tribute to the Whitsunday Sea Eagles life member who tragically died last year.
In an all Townsville grand final, the Curra Swans out classed the Hermit Park Tigers for the win in the women’s competition.
The Whitsunday Sea Eagles senior women rejoined the AFLQ competition for the first time since 2018 with a new line-up of enthusiastic players.
