Reclink Community Cup 2015

Overview

Melbourne’s rockstars will go head to head with the bigwigs of community radio, at the twenty-first 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 nine point win last year, the Rockdogs will be captained by My Dynamite keyboardist Nick Cooper, while the Megahertz will look to co-captains Cat of PBS’ The Breakfast Spread and Chris Gill of Triple R’s Get Down to serve up a piping red hot plate of revenge. The match will be bookended by a series of live performances by the likes of Adalita, Pearls, Graveyard Train and Public Opinion Afro Orchestra, all of whose musical credentials are a lot more impressive than their footballing ones. Hey, if you want professional athletes, go to the MCG.
