International Women’s Day Lunch with Ali Brigginshaw
Broncos, Jillaroos and QLD State of Origin Player

#EachforEqual

9th March 2020 – Orion Hotel – 11.45am for a 12.15 start

Join us for our annual International Women’s Day Lunch at the Orion Hotel to raise funds for the Domestic Violence Action Centre, Ipswich.

We are thrilled and excited to bring you Ali brigginshaw as our keynote speaker for this event.

Ali Brigginshaw is the current captain of the Brisbane Broncos, Queensland Maroons and Australian Jillaroos.

Born in Ipswich, Queensland, Ali grew up playing Rugby League for the North Ipswich Tigers and idolised Brisbane Broncos legend, Alfie Langer.

An extremely talented junior, Ali was forced to give up Rugby League at the age of 13 due to lack of opportunity at the time for women.

Over the next five years she dabbled in competitive touch football, Muai Thai and boxing, becoming the Australian Golden Gloves champion in the Novice A 69 kg category.

Upon graduation from high school Ali returned to Rugby League, signing with the Souths Logan Magpies while juggling part-time work as a builder’s labourer.

Impressive performances for Souths Logan soon caught the eye of representative selectors, leading to Ali’s Queensland Maroons and Australia Jillaroos debuts in 2009.

A mainstay for state and country over the last 10 years, Ali has firmly established herself as one the best female rugby league players in the world.

After winning the 2013 and 2017 World Cups with Australia, she was named captain of the inaugural Brisbane Broncos Women’s National Rugby League Team in 2018 and has since led the powerhouse club to consecutive WNRL titles.

Ali is now focussed on winning more silverware with the Broncos, Queensland and Australian teams, as well as continuing what she believes is her most important work – being a positive role model for the next generation of Brigginshaw’s growing-up across the country.
