It started with a scenic drive from Cairns to beautiful Port Douglas, a tourist hotspot for the wealthy and retired. The primary reason for the trip though was to watch the A Grade rugby game between Port Reef Raiders and JCU Mariners at the Sports Complex. The match resulted in a 47-14 thumping of the host team by JCU boys - an terrific win!
Today was Ladies Day. The women spectators were greeted with delicious champagne, scrumptuous finger food and gift bags filled with fabulous goodies - all sponsored by QT Port Douglas Resort, a member of Australia's newest hotel brand, the QT Hotel chain.
Today was also bittersweet. It was heartwarming to hear from a handful of locals expressing empathy for the Cats sitting out this year's Port Douglas 7's tournament. But best of all was seeing the team's name etched into the history books at the club house. The fact that the Tabubil Cats have left a legacy in Port Douglas is truly awesome!
