Cable Beach became the home of soccer on Saturday morning, as the Broome Soccer Association took to the sands for a social kick to launch their new custom-made trailer.
As members played in a friendly game, they were also able to partake in a free sausage sizzle, with the sausages cooked from the trailer's own barbeque.
The purchase of the trailer was made possible thanks to a grant from Roadwise's Community Road Safety Grants Program, which awarded the Association a $14,000 grant for the purchase of the trailer.
As part of the grant, the BSA will undertake a number of Driver Reviver trips on the Great Northern Highway throughout the year in order to encourage holidaymakers to "Stay Awake and Take a Break".
With the help of local police, BSA members will man their trailer on a stretch of the highway and provide free tea and coffee for motorists who are travelling to and from Broome.
The trailer has been specifically made to provide all the amenities the BSA needs to undertake its trips, as well as providing excellent storage for all of the Association's equipment.
BSA Treasurer Tim Gray said the BSA was the first sporting club in Broome to undertake such a project.
“Getting a trailer like this enables us to store all our equipment in one safe place and also do our bit for the community,” he said. “The Driver Reviver itself is not only a great community service to support, but it gives us an opportunity to promote our sport and bring our members together over a weekend to socialise and of course play some soccer.”
