Legends lace up to honour Bali bombing victims
Kingsley Football Club will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the club’s first premiership and the 2002 Bali bombings that claimed seven of their members with a legends game tonight.
Coordinator and former club president Keith Pearce told 6PR Breakfast stand-in co-hosts Julie-anne Sprague and Mark Gibson the 13 survivors of the trip and families of the seven boys who died still found it hard to cope each anniversary of the attack.
“Many of them are still struggling at this time of the year… it’s not something you get over easily,” he said.

“They were like in a war situation, without the training the soldiers have.”
Festivities for the legends game start at 6pm at Kingsley Park, with bouncedown at 7pm, with the public invited to attend.
