At Rogers Oval a huge weekend of football for both AFL Mackay and the Eastern Swans AFC. This weekend’s Senior and Reserves fixture will feature a ‘top of the table’ clash between the Eastern Swans and Mackay City Hawks. The two matches will resemble a memorable occasion for both clubs, with the 15-year reunion of the 1998 Grand Final between the two clubs. The Eastern Swans finished as Premiers in both the Reserves and Seniors in the AFL Mackay Premiership season of 1998.
The Eastern Swans will mark the occasion this weekend, with a full day of football from U13s through to Seniors in the afternoon. 20 of the 22 players from the 1998 Senior Premiership side plus a multitude of Reserves side players will travel from around the country to be present for the reunion. Off the field, the club has been busy preparing for the occasion, which will feature a two-course dinner and live entertainment following the football. The club would like to invite the wider community of Mackay to attend this fantastic day for AFL football in the region.
