Goldfields Aboriginal Football Carnival
In November 2023, Global Lithium attended the Goldfields Aboriginal Football Carnival.
The two-day competition attracted ~300 players across 14 teams together with hundreds of spectators who packed into Sir Richard Moore Oval and Digger Daws Oval, with Aboriginal footballers travelling from all over Western Australia and South Australia the Goldfields-Esperance region to participate.
Global Lithium sponsored the Kalgoorlie Hawks team along with Indigenous business Tucker Dust & Diesel, supplying the team’s new footy jumpers. The Kalgoorlie Hawks, comprised of three quarters Kakarra People, are one of only three teams that have been playing in the Goldfields Aboriginal Football Carnival since 1971 and the victors of last year’s two-day carnival.
A highlight of the day was our Managing Director Ron Mitchell being presented with a signed footy jumper by team manager and Kakarra Traditional Owner Travis Tucker, pictured below.
