Melbourne, Mar 12: On a bright and sunny Labour Day Monday, the Melbourne Konkan Community (MKC) gathered once again at Webster St Reserve, Point Cook, for much-anticipated Annual Sports Day! Mangaloreans from all across Melbourne arrived, full of energy and excitement, ready for a day packed with sports, laughter, and community bonding.
And of course, what’s an MKC event without food? The morning kicked off the right way with a delicious spread of idli, sambar, and sheera, fueling everyone for the action ahead. The games were in full swing, with teams competing in cricket, and throwball, all while the crowd cheered them on.
As the afternoon sun blazed, a hot and flavourful biryani was served for lunch, bringing smiles all around. It was fantastic to see everyone enjoying the feast while sharing stories and laughs. The games continued through the day, testing endurance and teamwork, but the real surprise came lateran ice cream treat for everyone! The perfect way to cool down after a long, hot day of competition.
Many participants, especially young first-timers, made the event extra special. It was heartwarming to see new faces joining community, building friendships, and keeping the MKC spirit alive! A huge thank you to new members who participated for the first time hope to see you at many more events!
MKC offered a massive thank you to Wyndham Council for their ongoing support, as well as generous sponsors, without whom this event (and many more to come) wouldn’t be possible. A huge round of applause was given to all participants, who made the event exciting, especially the young ones who stepped up to join the teams. It was all about coming together, playing together, and making lifelong memories!
