The annual Footy Sale will once again take place at Tiwi Design, Nguiu on Sunday 16 March 2008. This is the same day as the Tiwi Islands Football League Grand Final, so it is a big and exciting day for the Tiwi. We have the Imalu tigers playing Tapalinga!
Visitors do not need a permit to enter Nguiu on this day.
The sale will be from 8am-1pm, followed by the big game at 2pm on the oval. Everything is within walking distance and remember to bring some wet weather gear and repellant as it can be a sticky day! Some fast food will be avilable for purchase at the game, but it's a good idea to bring some food and water to keep you going.
