THE LINK REPORT
16 June 2026
With the second anniversary of securing its now legendary victory over RSL NSW in the great Crown land lease stoush fast approaching, Woronora RSL Club has announced plans to commemorate the milestone in the only way considered culturally appropriate by locals: a fully sanctioned UFC-style cage fight in the club carpark.
The idea came after the club Board watched the White House UFC event and immediately concluded that The Wonnie could take an event like this to the next level.
Dubbed “Battle For The Lease 2: Get This Up ‘Ya!”, the event will feature eight local fighters, including three ex Woronora Bull Sharks front rowers, one bloke known only as “Shrek from Sutho,” and a mystery entrant rumoured to be from ‘somewhere up near Shackels”.
Club Media and Communications Manager, Murray Link, said the event would honour the fighting spirit of the valley, so proudly on display during the now infamous battle.
“We stood up to them and won”, Link said tearfully. “We protected what matters most: the lease, the community, and a local’s right to sink a schooner while watching the 6th at Randwick on SKY Racing.”
"That clown from Carrington Street said I couldn't run a club, but which one of us still has a job?"
As we went to press, organisers confirmed negotiations were underway to have the ceremonial first punch delivered by whichever Woronora local currently has the least restrictive bail conditions.
Ring and grandstand designs will be on display this week at Woronora RSL Club as part of Thirsty Thursday celebrations.
