What better way to kick off the footy season than by giving away a boat?

That’s why Newcastle’s KOFM called their promotion Tanya & Steve’s Boot for a Boat! – Tanya & Steve, of course, being the station’s Breakfast team.

It was a kicking contest to see who could land a football into the prize boat.

30 kicking hopefuls lined up across Hunter River, but there could only be one winner… After eliminating 28 people and down to a footy finals worthy nail biter finish, Brian from Medowie narrowly claimed victory and will be sailing off into the sunset in his brand new Quintrex 370 Explorer with all the extras worth $9,000 thanks to Terrace Boating – Boats are fun, get yourself one!

Beau Scott from the Newcastle Knights who gave the kickers some pointers by showing them how it wasn’t done… by missing the boat by a wide margin, not once, but twice!
