Polocrosse Australia is proud to announce that Goodline has expanded its support of the sport, becoming the naming rights partner of the Australian Polocrosse teams and the High Performance partner for 2026.
Having proudly supported Australia’s World Cup campaign as the naming rights partner of the 2024 Australian World Cup team, Goodline has reaffirmed its commitment to Australian polocrosse through an expanded partnership that will support the nation’s elite athletes while strengthening the sport’s pathways to international competition.
The partnership will see Australia’s national teams proudly compete as the Goodline Australian teams throughout 2026, including the International test series against South Africa this month and the Junior International test series in Western Australia in October.
Polocrosse Australia President Mick Templeton said the expanded partnership reflected the strong relationship that had developed between the two organisations.
“To have Goodline continue its journey with Polocrosse Australia after supporting our World Cup campaign is incredibly rewarding,” Mr Templeton said.
“This isn’t simply a sponsorship. It is a partnership built on shared values. Goodline is a proudly Australian, family-run business that believes in people, regional communities and doing things the right way, which perfectly reflects our sport.
“Their continued investment in our Australian teams and High Performance program demonstrates genuine confidence in the future of polocrosse, and we are extremely grateful for their support.”
Australian-owned Goodline employs more than 1,000 staff and contractors nationwide, delivering construction and maintenance services to many of Australia’s leading resource companies. Since its establishment more than 25 years ago by John and Catherine Kennedy in Weipa, Far North Queensland, the business has built a reputation for excellence, integrity and giving back to regional Australia.
Today, Sally Kennedy is overseeing the family’s continued commitment to Goodline and its community partnerships, with the support of her siblings Thomas, Jane and Billy. Together, they remain committed to ensuring the values established by John and Catherine Kennedy continue to guide Goodline’s support of regional communities and Australian sport.
Sally Kennedy said continuing Goodline’s relationship with Polocrosse Australia was a natural decision.
“Our family has always believed in supporting organisations that make a genuine difference in regional Australia,” Ms Kennedy said.
“Polocrosse is more than a sport. It brings families together, develops young people and creates opportunities for communities across the country.
“Through our involvement with the 2024 Australian World Cup team, we saw firsthand the passion, professionalism and dedication within the sport. We are proud to continue that journey and look forward to supporting the Goodline Australian Teams throughout 2026.”
The Kennedy family has long shared a passion for horses and regional Australia, with John’s love of horses beginning during his childhood on a cattle station near Quilpie, Queensland. That connection has made the partnership with Polocrosse Australia a natural fit.
Mr Templeton said the expanded partnership would leave a lasting legacy for the sport.
“Goodline’s support extends well beyond the international arena. This partnership strengthens our High Performance program while helping us continue to build participation, develop athletes and invest in the future of our sport.
“It sends a powerful message that regional sports with strong values and ambitious goals deserve national support.”
The Goodline Australian teams will take to the international stage throughout 2026, beginning with the Australian Open Men’s and Women’s test series against South Africa in July, before Australia’s next generation of players competes in a Junior international test series in Western Australia in October.
As Goodline and Polocrosse Australia continue their journey together, both organisations remain committed to building a lasting legacy for Australian polocrosse—one that supports excellence at the elite level while inspiring the next generation of players across regional Australia.
