It’s our first home game of 2022 at Jack Manski Oval this Sunday, when we take on reigning premiers Norths Devils in round 1 of the Hostplus Cup.

Coach of the Mendi Blackhawks Aaron Payne, said his team was looking forward to running out on home soil.

“It’s been a long time between drinks since we played at home,” Payne said.

“It’s been well documented that our pre-season focus was defensive and the players really brought into it.”

“We have had a relatively good pre-season, with only one indoor session, and last weekend in Bowen was the first time we played in the wet.”

“Most of our players have only had one trial match, and with the NRL already started, that has fuelled their desire to play.”

This Sunday will be a big occasion for the Mendi Blackhawks with four players making their debut with the club, Kayleb Milne, Emry Pere, Jake Bourke and Tomas Chester and newly appointed club captain Josh Chudleigh will lead the team out for the first time.

“The players really enjoy playing in front of their family and friends, and supporters and members,”

“So we look forward to seeing you all at Jack Manski Oval this Sunday.”

Prior to the main game, our three junior teams, will be looking at making it three from three wins as they take on the CQ Capras.

Come and farewell our Harvey Norman U19 girls as they play their final game of 2022.
