Very happy to report that the Skippers Cotton Cup on 23^rd July 2022 was a resounding success! Under a clear, blue sky on a green field with marquee tents and banners lining the sidelines, Qld and NT teams relived their glory days and relished the mateship and spirit of the comp.

After a fine day of football, the evening festivities kicked off on the lawns of Mindil Beach Casino with sunset splashing its magnificence for our guests. Though Mick Denigan was a no-show, the live entertainment more than made up for it. David Giffin recounted stories and highlights of his international rugby career in a cracking interview, the band played favourite after favourite and the auction kept bidders on their toes and guests fascinated by the sales patter.

We are so very thankful to our event partner, Northern Cotton Growers and major sponsor Neil Mansell Transport as well as key sponsors SEM Group, Kelly Group of Companies and NT Broadacre. Without them this event would not be possible – please support these business wherever you can. Skippers would like to thank all who attended and supported this fantastic Top End event.
