Farewell to a Legacy - The Final Midwinter THIS WEEKEND ❤️‍🔥

Today, under the familiar skies of Newcastle, we kick off the last-ever Midwinter at Empire Park—a tradition that’s warmed our hearts since 2012 and stitched itself into the soul of Quadball in Australia.

From muddy boots to golden goals, from first-time fumbles to championship glory, Midwinter has been more than just a tournament. It’s been a homecoming. A celebration. A place where friendships were forged, rivalries kindled, and memories made under the winter sun.

As players take the field one final time on our beloved Empire Park, we want to say a massive thank you to every participant, volunteer, and supporter who’s helped shape this iconic event over the years. You made Midwinter magic. 💫

If you’re in town, come watch the action today and tomorrow (Sat 12pm-5pm & Sun 9am-4pm)_. And tonight, join us for a pumping social at the legendary Queens Wharf Hotel—because if we’re going out, we’re going out in style. 🔥🔥

So here’s to the final chapter.
To the cheers, the chasers, the chaos.
Let’s rise to the challenge. 🏆
One. Last. Time. 💙
