In 2023, a great crowd flocked to Everton Wolves JAFC for the 8th annual Brisbane Reclink Community Cup raising $25,000 with all proceeds going towards the work of Reclink Australia to deliver sports and recreation programs for people who are marginalised and disconnected from the community.
Around 1,000 watched on, basking in the glorious Brisbane sunshine, as the Rocking Horses and Brisbane Lines battled it out. The Brisbane Lines took home the chocolates the but the real winner was the community spirit on display all day.
This July, don’t miss the 2024 Brisbane Reclink Community Cup!

Back to raise awareness and funds for Reclink are a genre-smashing array of Brisbane bands and musicians who have swapped dirty denim jeans for footy shorts to play aussie rules as the Rocking Horses comprising members of prominent acts such as Powderfinger/The Church, Dead Letter Circus, WAAX, CLEA, Shag Rock, Melaleuca, Whalehouse, Full Power Happy Hour, Tape/Off, Flangipanis and many more.
Fresh from the two sides battling out a spectacular tie in 2021, the Rocking Horses are keen to reclaim bragging rights (and the cherished Cup) from their now-traditional arch rivals the Brisbane Lines, a motley ensemble of 4ZZZ stalwarts, ABC Radio staff and other music industry professionals drafted from Dew Process, Oztix, QMusic, Media Arts Lawyers and The Princess Theatre (to name but a few).

The Reclink Community Cup is an incredibly fun day chock-full of family-friendly entertainment, the inimitable football match itself augmented by not just live music but also bars, food trucks and a relaxed atmosphere that firmly emphasises community over football and team spirit over individual skills.
From humble beginnings in 1993, the Melbourne event now attracts more than 12,000 people and raises more than $250,000 for Reclink Australia annually.
Having been played in Brisbane since 2016, every dollar raised in the Brisbane match goes directly to Reclink Australia programs within Queensland. Reclink’s structured sport, and recreation programs improve life outcomes for those experiencing mental illness, family violence, homelessness, social isolation, gambling harm, unemployment, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
