🚨 Save the Date – 5th December 2026!Battle of the Bays is back! ⚽️⚽️⚽️
The very best of Redcliffs and Sumner will go head-to-head once again as Redcliffs looks to reclaim The Paddle after last year’s thrilling inaugural showdown.
The 2025 event was an incredible success, with outstanding support from our local sponsors, great food, cold beers, ice creams, and plenty of music and entertainment. The future stars stole the show in the 8-year-old curtain raiser, before the fierce rivalry between the Candy Canes and Sumner delivered an unforgettable contest that went all the way to a dramatic penalty shootout.
So… who will take home The Paddle in 2026? 🏆
Mark your calendars and stay tuned—there’s plenty more to come, including player announcements, sponsors, family activities, and ticket details.
