With a great crowd of junior and senior players, members, sponsors and committee people in attendance, Pirates Rugby League Football Club officially launched their 2024 season and 50th year celebrations.
Pirates president Liam Anlezark said the crowd was treated to some yarns about the history of the Pirates from a panel of club legends in front of a room of blue and gold shirts.
“It’s very pleasing to see a healthy uptick in junior registrations for the start of the season in line with our NRL Dolphins development affiliation,“ Liam said.
“Beau Condon’s role has seen the Noosa Pirates/NRL Dolphins development program rolled out in 10 primary and secondary schools across the shire and we will be fielding 18 junior and four senior sides for our 50th year celebration.
“For the first time we’ll be fielding U13s, U1’s and U17s girls sides as well as really strong numbers in our senior ladies’ side, fantastic for female participation in our region.
“Our senior men’s numbers are very strong in A grade, reserves and C grade which will see competition for selections and has contributed to our best preseason in a long time for intensity and attendance.“
Liam thanked all the club’s sponsors without whose support they would not be able to what they do as a club.
“From our newest partners like ladies premier sponsor 4Pines-Noosa to our club premier sponsor AlwaysCool who have been supporting the Pirates for 10 years this year,“ he said.
“We appreciate every one of you being a part of the Pirates’ family.“
Pirates welcome everyone to their home game fixtures this season at Pirate Park, Tewantin.
