Magpies U13 Fly High – 2025 Runners-Up!

What a season for the Mackay Magpies Under 13s teams! Backed by Hydraulink, the two Under 13 teams wrapped up the 2025 season as runners-up in the Mackay & District Rugby League comp major Grand Final and runners up in the Plate Grand final. With 8 clubs battling it out across the grades, the Magpies showed grit, teamwork, and plenty of spirit all season long. Huge congratulations to the players, coaches, and supporters!

Hydraulink Australia’s Mackay branch signed a three-year sponsorship of the Magpies Under 13 Junior Rugby League Teams earlier this year, running from 2025 through to 2027. This partnership highlights Hydraulink’s commitment to supporting grassroots sport and giving back to the local Mackay community.

The Magpies Rugby League Club holds a special place in Mackay’s sporting history. Established in 1918, the club was born after a meeting at the Glenella Hotel, where a playful comment likened attendees to magpies — inspiring the name and black-and-white colours that have remained for more than a century. As a founding member of the Mackay Rugby League in 1919, the Magpies proudly stand as the only original club still competing under its traditional name and colours today.

For Hydraulink, supporting the Under 13 Magpies team is more than just sponsorship — it’s an investment in the next generation. Local sport not only fosters teamwork, discipline, and resilience, but also helps strengthen community bonds. By backing the Magpies, Hydraulink is ensuring young players have the resources and encouragement they need to thrive both on and off the field.

"Hydraulink has always believed in supporting the communities we operate in," said Aaron Bollinger Hydraulink Australia Mackay Branch Manager. "The Magpies’ long-standing history and focus on developing young talent align perfectly with our values. We’re proud to play a role in their journey and contribute to a club that has given so much to Mackay over the years."

The sponsorship reflects Hydraulink Mackay’s dedication to being more than just a service provider — it’s about being an active part of the local community. Through initiatives like this, Hydraulink continues to support opportunities that bring people together and create lasting positive impact.
