🏀 LANG PARK HISTORY | 1967

A trip back to the 1967 May Day Carnival in Rockhampton!

These fantastic photographs capture the Lang Park women's basketball team taking on North West Districts (NWD) almost 60 years ago!

From the outdoor courts and old-school uniforms to the spectators watching from the sidelines, these photos give us a wonderful glimpse into women's basketball in Queensland during the 1960s.

💚 A great reminder of the generations of players who helped build the history of Lang Park Basketball Club.

📸 A big thank you to Bob Godbold for sharing these incredible photographs and helping us preserve our club's history!

🏀 THROWBACK THURSDAY | 1980! 🏀

We're taking it all the way back to 1980 with these incredible photos from Auchenflower Basketball Stadium! 📸

A look at Lang Park taking on North West Districts (NWD) in the 1980 competition.

Some familiar names from Lang Park's history featured in this era:

🏀 Donnie Ray Cruse
🏀 Stewart Maltby
🏀 Paul Mooney
🏀 Chris McGraw
🏀 Tim Barnett
🏀 Bruce Fitzgerald
🏀 Barry Freeman

46 years of basketball history!

Auchenflower Stadium was also home to the Brisbane Bullets during their early NBL years, making these photos a fantastic snapshot of Brisbane basketball history.

And check out the original "BRISBANE PLAYS NATIONAL LEAGUE 1980" signage on the stadium walls! A real piece of basketball history!

From the old Auchenflower courts to the club we know today, it's amazing to look back at the players and moments that helped shape Lang Park Basketball.
