Congratulations to all of those who played at our first home game on Sunday 29th June, and thank you to all of those who showed their support and attended Stan Williams Park.<\/p>\n

We were fortunate enough to share the morning with Tammy and JB who streamed their breakfast show LIVE from Stan Williams Park. There was entertainment throughout the day, from an ice cream truck, inflatable assault course, fairy floss, face painting and live music.<\/div>\n
All abilities took to the field, followed by Under 19’s, Reserve Grade, and our reigning A Grade premiers.<\/div>\n
All teams take out a clean sweep, and we couldn’t be more proud!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This was Brothers Cairns first home game on home soil in over twenty months. The original concept of revitalising Stan Williams Park was unveiled in 2022. Thank you to all of those who played a part in making the completion of Stage One possible.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The club will now be able to make dreams come true, offering opportunities for community programs, function spaces, meeting spaces, cooperate boxes, and of course use of the sporting ground.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The club is so proud and grateful to all of those who worked or volunteered their time over the weekend and the past 20 months to make this day possible.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Follow our instagram and facebook for further updates of how the new stadium is being utilised.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Furthermore, Stage Two is just around the corner which will see more seating, a bigger and better Score Board and so much more, thanks to the generous funding from the LNP Government.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Stay Tuned!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
