On Friday, the BMD Wynnum Manly Seagulls celebrated the 2024 season with our Presentation Gala at the Wynnum Manly Leagues Club.
Luke Gale was the big winner on the night as he claimed 3 awards.
Players from our Hostplus Cup and BMD Premiership teams, as well as our award winners from the McDonalds Seagulls Academy, joined staff, club sponsors and special guests to finalise the season.
Led by MC Steve Haddan, the best players from each team were acknowledged with the Player of the Year and Players’ Player awards.
Additionally, the club awarded Life Membership to both Cate Solah and Steve Heymer for their incredible contributions over a long period of time.
