Albany Vikings Masters Sporting Club

🏉 Haircut or a run? 💈😂

We’ve only got a couple of Vikings training sessions left for the year and turning up for a run might not be the only thing on the agenda. 😅

Come down, have a laugh, get a run in, and if you’re game… maybe score yourself a Pratty Cut. No guarantees you’ll like the result! 🤣✂️

2026 AFL Masters WA Southwest Carnival

After 8 years, the Albany Vikings were proud to once again host the AFL Masters WA Southwest Carnival, and what a fantastic day it was.

This year's carnival was extra special as we celebrated the Vikings' 40th year of AFL Masters in Albany. We welcomed teams, families and supporters from across the state for a day of great football, friendship and plenty of memorable moments.

Despite a few nervous looks at the weather forecast leading into the day, the rain stayed away and the carnival went ahead under clear skies. The strong winds certainly made things interesting, with one club even managing to kick a goal through the centre sticks on the next oval downwind!

Off the field, the canteen was running smoothly all day, our famous brisket rolls sold out, the carnival raffle was a huge success, and the limited-edition carnival merchandise proved very popular.

The celebrations continued into the evening with our Carnival Dinner & Party at Fitstop Stadium Railways. With just over 200 people in attendance, a great night was had by all, and the dance floor was kept busy right through until the end of the night.

A huge thank you to all the players, teams, families and friends who travelled to Albany and helped make the weekend such a success.

Most importantly, thank you to the incredible volunteers, committee members and supporters who worked tirelessly behind the scenes before, during and after the event. Carnivals like this simply don't happen without you.

We would also like to thank our generous sponsors for their support:

⭐ BIG4 Emu Beach Holiday Park
⭐ BIG4 Middleton Beach Holiday Park
⭐ T&C Supplies
⭐ Star Sales & Service
⭐ Albany Retravision
⭐ Totally Sports & Surf

Thank you all for helping us celebrate 40 years of Albany Vikings AFL Masters. We look forward to seeing everyone again at future carnivals.

This event was a great success due to the support from WA Government and Lotterywest, through the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism & Sport.

Award presentations at Bunbury Sharks Football Club AFL Masters

What a great ANZAC ALBANY BATTLE.

The day ran smoothly from start to finish, with amazing weather and a fantastic atmosphere right across the day. Both the men’s and women’s games were played in terrific spirit, and it was a brilliant showcase of football.

It was fantastic to see the Valkyries in their new playing jumpers.

The food was a big hit, with the pulled brisket rolls and chips proving very popular.

Standout players were recognised for their efforts while others were awarded the Viking Helmet for their mishaps. We want to sincerely thank the away teams and everyone who travelled to be part of the event. Days like this simply would not happen without your support.

A massive thank you also goes to our sponsors and to everyone who helped behind the scenes to make the event such a success.

We are already looking forward to making it even bigger next year.
