It’s a wintry Sunday in Canberra. You wanna go outside, but then immediately inside. So, you go to Downer Oval. You see a ragtag bunch of musicians, journos and their mates kicking a footy. You join in, it’s fun. You take a mark you didn’t think you could. You feel amazing. Somehow, it’s 4.30pm and you could go a drink and some hot chippies. You walk across to Gang Gang with your new pals and hear the first few notes of a sound check. You settle in for some cosy local music. You mutter to yourself: this is alright. Someone hands you a sign-up sheet and a choice: do you wanna play for The Limestones or The Noise? Or a secret third thing: do you just wanna maybe join a mailing list so you can keep coming to casual kicks and cosy local gigs? You smile. Take the pen. The chippies arrive.
We’re so back.
We’re launching our 2025 season in the spirit of the game: with quality local music and a kick of the footy. We’re talking casual kicks from 3.30pm, then sets from

It’s our first fundraiser of the season for Reclink, soundtracked by incredible local acts.
There’ll be a raffle, there’ll be a sprinkling of footy trivia, info on training sessions and there’ll be sign-up sheets to play in the Community Cup.
Can't wait to see you at the Sunday session of our dreams 🏉🎶
