League legend a prize catch

The winner of the 2025 Rainbow Beach Fishing Classic Sponsors Bowls Day was officially announced as Wynnum Marine, who blitzed the field with a game of extreme skill, excellent camaraderie and high ethics.

Special guest, rugby league Hall of Famer Alfie Langer, was a popular addition to the festivities as he effortlessly worked his way around the hundreds of guests at the club chasing a photo and a chat and the chance to relive their first and enduring memories of his exceptional skill in the game.

All teams were pumped, fit and with an eye on the trophy and prizes donated by Sunshine Mitre 10 with the Sports Club team of Alfie, Ashleigh Jensen secret weapon Caitlyn Shadbolt and competition bowler Ray Whittaker believing they had it in the bag.

The real winners were the Rainbow Beach community who were grateful to meet Alfie and the major sponsors who make the Rainbow Beach

Fishing Classic such a huge success each year.

The 2025 Classic will be held at the Sports Club from 8 to14 June with $400,000 worth of cash and prizes to be won. For further information please visit www.rainbowbeachfishingclassic.com.au
