Sports Awards Night 2022
Over three hundred people attended PBC’s 48th annual Sports Awards Night held recently at the Currumbin RSL. The crowd was enthralled by the stories that our two guest speakers Gretel Bueta (Australian Diamond) and Jackson Collins (K2 World Champion) shared with the audience.
The REDS celebrated their eight championship winning teams; AFL junior girls, AFL junior and senior Boys, U15 girls All schools touch, U16 and U19 male MR Shield, a Cross Country relay champion team and Australian U17 1km Beach relay. Congratulations to everyone involved.
