The Burdekin community came together for a fun day of festivities at Burdekin Netball’s A Spring Day on the Lawn. The event, a part of the Harvest Festival’s Dayna Linton's journey, celebrated the spirit of togetherness.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the "Battle of the Balls," which brought forth spirited competition and good-natured rivalry. Participants from various local sports clubs, including the Burdekin Roosters, Burdekin Rugby Union Canetoads, and Burdekin FC Inc, joined forces with the BNA Old Boys and Young Guns to create a lively atmosphere. In a thrilling finale, the Burdekin Panthers emerged as the victors of the day, competing closely against the Old Boys.
The event wouldn't have been possible without the dedication and hard work of the Burdekin Netball Association (BNA) committee and numerous volunteers who lent a helping hand in various aspects of the event. From the initial setup to food preparation, BBQ cooking, service, and post-event cleanup, the collective effort of these individuals was truly commendable.
The excitement didn't end with the sports activities. The "Buy a Netballer" raffle drew substantial attention, and the lucky winner, the Woods family, walked away with a generous prize of $10,000 in cash.
Entertainment was not in short supply, thanks to the musical talents of Brendan Ford, who kept the crowd grooving throughout the day. Additionally, the little ones were treated to some amazing face painting by Dene, adding an extra layer of fun to the event.
It was a day filled with joy, camaraderie, and spirited competition, and it wouldn't have been such a tremendous success without the enthusiastic participation of the local sports clubs, volunteers, and attendees. The event not only brought smiles to many faces but also supported a worthy cause.
