GO MAGGIES
Magpies Rugby League celebrating 100 years.
SOLOGINKIN OVAL AMENITIES
In May 2019 we celebrated the Grand Opening of the new amenities building at Sologinkin Oval, officially opened by Mackay Mayor Greg Williamson. This was our most ambitious and challenging project to date, costing in the vicinity of $2.5 million dollars, fully funded by Magpies Sporting Club no government grants or assistance. The facilities have a strong focus on meeting the needs of female sporting participants including gender friendly changeroom with floor to ceiling showers, as well as a gym, ice baths and dedicated room to add spa’s. Four change rooms service the field, including individual change rooms for referees. The facilities are of state competition standard, we consulted not only with our own stakeholders in Magpies Rugby League Club and Magpies Football Club, but with the QRL and Football Queensland. The long time coming completion of the project lends itself to perfect timing, given our Magpies Rugby League Club are celebrating 100 years this year, and with of our regions own National Premier League team Magpies Crusaders United in their second year. The design come from the desks of BSPN Architecture and had been 5 years in the making; the project was at first postponed due to the opportunity to buy back the club from the landlord in 2015. Magpies Sporting Club can now proudly boast that we not only have the best grounds, but the best sporting facilities in the region.
MAGPIES CRUSADERS
Magpies proudly support 11 affiliated sporting clubs and co-found the Mackay & the Whitsundays Magpies Crusaders United Football Club, but you can call them MAGPIES CRUSADERS.
Magpies Crusaders represent the Mackay & Whitsundays region in the Queensland National Premier League (NPL).
AFFILIATE RAFFLES
One of the many ways that we provide support for these groups is through a raffle program which enables all affiliated bodies the opportunity to raise much needed funds to assist them in reaching their goals.
We appreciate any support that you may be able to provide for these Clubs and all funds raised from the raffles are directly distributed to each group.
