Kayo Sports confirmed as broadcast partner for upcoming Century Cricket Competition Mackay
Fans across Australia can now watch the Mackay Century Cricket Competition thanks to the renewed broadcast partnership with Kayo Sports.
Kayo Sports, Australia’s premier sports streaming service, will stream matches at Great Barrier Reef Arena which includes three games on Friday and Saturday, plus the two finals on Sunday, live and free on Kayo Freebies.
“This is our third year working with Kayo Sports to broadcast our senior competition, and we’re thrilled to partner with them again as we head up to Mackay. Kayo Sports has proven to be an excellent channel to showcase some of the incredible talent participating in the league and brings new audiences to the competition,” said Century Cricket Group Chair Stuart Giles.
Mackay Regional Council Mayor Greg Williamson says the Kayo Sports deal is a big win for the players participating and puts Mackay on the map.
“These tournaments will draw a big crowd, and we’re excited to showcase the Great Barrier Reef Arena as a first-class facility for players and spectators,” Mayor Williamson said.
“The Kayo Sports deal will expand that audience to a national and even international level, opening up our region to potential visitors during the three years that Mackay will host the Century Cricket Competition, and beyond,” he said.
The Mackay Century Cricket Competition kicks off on Friday 2 August with a carnival style atmosphere as the eight teams play for a share in $80,000.
The Kayo Sports partnership caps off a big few weeks for the Century Cricket Group as nominations to play will soon draw to a close. Seniors still have time to register via the Century Cricket Competitions website but by 5pm on Wednesday 5 June.
Cricket lovers can view matches by simply downloading the Kayo Sports app or visiting kayosports.com.au and registering for a Freebies account.
