Jersey night sets new club record
IF enthusiasm and support is anything to go by, the Mareeba Gladiators are looking at a very fruitful season as supporters and sponsors dug deep to deliver a club record of $30,700.
Former Gladiator Jack Pedersen secured the second highest bid of $3100 for Jersey Number 13 at the Gladiators Jersey auction night.
Club President John Arcidiacono was left speechless as the hometown business community packed the Leagues Club on Saturday night for the annual Jersey auction night.
The highest bid, which came by phone, was made by former Gladiator Jahman Gutchen-Gela from J-Unity Fitness from Mackay with a club record bid of $3500.
The next highest bidder was Jack Pedersen from Jacko’s Welding with a cool $3100.
Under the experienced and watchful eye of new coach Chris Sheppard, the Gladiators are hoping to replicate the success Sheppard had as a player when the Gladiators won the 2007 CDRL premiership.
