A civic reception is to be held for the Central Coast Mariners at their season kick-off event on Saturday, August 5.
The public event, to be held at Leagues Club Park in Gosford, will be open to the whole community and will enable everyone to re-live the Mariners’ recent A-League Men’s Championship win.
Central Coast Council Administrator Rik Hart said Council has been working closely with the Mariners to find a suitable date for the region to formally acknowledge the amazing success of the Mariners.
“This Civic Reception will be an opportunity for Council to properly acknowledge the outstanding success of the Mariners, and for the Coast to get behind the Mariners as they kick-off their next season – and I am sure they’ll be aiming for back-to-back wins,” Hart said.
“The Mariners’ championship win sparked enormous joy and pride across the Coast, and I’m pleased that Council is supporting the Mariners with an appropriate acknowledgement for their achievement that the whole community can get behind.”
Mariners CEO Shaun Mielekamp said the club was grateful to be honoured with a civic reception.
“This should be a great day with plenty on offer for members and fans to come along and thank the team for their awesome efforts,” he said.
“This will also be a great opportunity for us to showcase our upcoming A-League Women’s team under the backdrop of a fantastic FIFA Women’s World Cup, all hosted in front of the spectacular Gosford waterfront that we call home.”
The civic reception will take place from 3pm on Saturday, August 5, at Leagues Club Park, Gosford.
Following the reception, the Mariners will host their season kick-off.
This will include a preview of both the men’s and women’s teams, player signings, family activities, food trucks and more.
The event will conclude at 6pm.
