Reclink Community Cup 2016

Overview

Melbourne's rockstars will go head to head with the bigwigs of community radio, at the 22nd annual Reclink Community Cup. In a dance as old as time — otherwise known as the mid '90s — muso team the Rockdogs will take on the combined forces of PBS, Triple R, SYN FM, 3RPP and 3MBS, aka the Megahertz, in a highly entertaining and heckleworthy game of amateur charity football with a year's worth of bragging rights on the line.

Played once again at Elsternwick Park, proceeds from this Sunday's match will be donated to Reclink Australia and used to improve the lives of people suffering from disability, homelessness, substance abuse and economic hardship through participation in sport and the arts.

Coming off a thrilling 27-point win last year, the Megahertz will be looking to keep the cup, while the Rockdogs try to snatch it back. The match will be bookended by a series of live performances by the likes of Regurgitator, Ross Wilson, Total Giovanni, The Sugarcanes and Loose Tooth, all of whose musical credentials are a lot more impressive than their footballing ones. Hey, if you want to see professional athletes, go to the MCG.
