Community Radio July 2010
2010 Community Cup
Thousands donned their thermals and headed down to Elsternwick Park on Sunday 27 June for the 2010 Community Cup, the annual footy match between the Espy Rockdogs and the Megahertz team, comprised of broadcasters from community radio stations Triple R, 3PBS and SYN FM.
The day kicked off with a performance from SYN Free Kick Competition winners Money for Rope, followed by Little Freddy and the Pops and the Blackeyed Susans before the big game had even started.
The first half of the match was all Rockdogs. Megahertz fans were forced to busy themselves at the bar and immerse themselves in the halftime performance from The Living End rather than even think about the second half of football to come, with the Rockdogs leading 28 points to 2 at the major break.
The Megahertz ran out of the rooms after halftime like women and men possessed and started winning possessions all over the ground with far fresher legs than their rivals. Still victory felt out of reach until Jess McGuire (RRR’s Wired For Sound) made a fifty metre penalty count over a tall line of Rockdogs’ defense with only minutes to go.
Stew Farrell (despite ongoing taunts from his All Over The Shop co-host and commentator Leapin Larry L) put the nail in the Rockdogs’ coffin and sealed a one point Megahertz victory with a mark and goal from the forward pocket with less than 10 seconds on the clock.
Consistent all day at both ends of the field, Chris Gill (RRR’s Get Down) took out best on ground in the post match awards before Nick Barker and the Reptiles closed proceedings capping off a brilliant day for all.
Thanks to everyone who came down to rejoice in community spirit and help charity partner Reclink raise funds to provide sporting, social and arts activities to enhance the lives of people experiencing disadvantage.
