On Saturday, November 23rd, the Tweed Seagulls showcased their talent and team spirit at the Hard Fizz Greenmount Beach Oztag Tournament. With a brillian beachside backdrop, the well-organised event attracted a great turnout of teams, creating a cracking competitive atmosphere.
A few old stagers from the Seagulls office joined forces with the North Sydney Bears, playing alongside NRL legends such as Michael Buettner, Nigel Roy, Craig Field, and Matt Seers, with Seagulls CEO Brendon Lindsay himself a former first-grader at Gold Coast Chargers. Despite the team’s average age exceeding their opponents by at least two decades, they did manage to scrape out a good win and kept the younger blokes on their toes in the other matches.
Tweed Seagulls RLFC also entered two of their own teams in the Open Men’s and Open Women’s divisions.
- Open Men’s Team: A mix of Hostplus Cup squad members and rising junior stars started strong with an impressive victory in their opening match. While they narrowly missed out on the finals, they created some great highlight reel moments.
- Open Women’s Team: The standout stars of the day were the Open Women’s team, who delivered an outstanding performance. They went undefeated across six games, conceding just a few tries throughout the tournament to claim the Open Women’s title. The team featured some outstanding talent, with several players destined for future NRLW success.
The Tweed Seagulls love supporting these local events. Additionally, the Tweed Seagulls also made sure they supported the Seagulls Beach Bar, which was operated by their premier sponsor The Seagulls Club.
Congratulations to all the players, organisers, and supporters who made the day a resounding success and Tweed Seagulls look forward to being back on deck in 2025.
