Community Bank Home Hill & Ayr is proud to support the upcoming Club of Origin day on Saturday, 29 November, standing alongside the Burdekin Roosters and the wider community in their efforts to keep rugby league strong in the region.
The Club of Origin is more than just a sporting event. Its purpose is to revive and sustain local rugby league by encouraging new and returning players, volunteers, and supporters to get involved. This year, the Roosters have faced challenges on and off the field, making the support of events like this vital for the club’s future.
By sponsoring the event, Community Bank Home Hill & Ayr is helping ensure rugby league remains a vibrant part of the Burdekin community. The Community Bank understands that sport has always been central to regional life—bringing people together, creating lifelong friendships, and strengthening community spirit. The Club of Origin reflects all of this, offering an opportunity for families, past players, and new participants to unite under the banner of tradition and healthy competition.
The event not only celebrates the four original clubs that once made up the local league competition but also connects multiple generations of players. Today, it’s not uncommon to see three generations from the same family proudly wearing their club colours.
This year’s timing, carefully chosen for the off-season of other local sports and after the conclusion of the crushing season, ensures maximum participation across the community. With support from the QRL and sponsors like Community Bank Home Hill & Ayr, the event is positioned to reignite passion for rugby league while securing the future of the Burdekin Roosters.
For Community Bank Home Hill & Ayr, the decision to sponsor Club of Origin is a reflection of their ongoing commitment to the community. Unlike other banks,
the Community Bank model returns profits directly back into local initiatives—investing in people, projects, and events that matter most.
“Supporting grassroots sport is just one of the many ways our Community Bank strengthens connections and contributes to the long-term wellbeing of the region”, says Senior Branch Manager for Community Bank Home Hill & Ayr, Chantel Michielin.
“We value this connection and will continue to invest part of our profits back into sport in our region”.
When the whistle blows on 29 November, it will be more than a game. It will be a celebration of resilience, tradition, and community spirit—values that Community Bank Home Hill & Ayr is proud to stand behind.
