Well, slap my forehead and call me Larry because it’s almost 2018 and I’m not quite sure when that happened. I know this because everyone’s rocking up to work hungover and relatives are popping up more often than they should. It’s a great time.
That being said, wrapping up the year that was makes us think retrospectively on 2017. The sporting scene is no exception because friends, it realllyy delivered. From preganté victories to gender equality and more, it was all about warm and fuzzies, underdogs and full-blown mateship.
Perhaps you even experienced it for yourself. If you didn’t, Debit Mastercard have three epic comps to witness the magic of the Australian Open like a VIP, including a meet and greet with a tennis ledge, the chance to chill at the exclusive Player’s Café or a private Superbox with you + 17 of your mates. All you need in order to gain access to this sweet dealio is to be a Mastercard Debit card owner, which you already highly likely are.
See below, in no particular order, who and what deserve some serious back pats from this year.
1. The Women’s AFL Making Its Historic Debut
2. Richmond ending their 37-year Grand Final drought with a fairytale win
3. Serena Williams nabs Australian Open title against sis Venus / while two months preganté
4. The Matildas Thumping Brazil 6-1 to claim the Tournament Of Nations
5. Aussie underdog Jeff Horn beating boxing ledge Manny Pacquiao

It’s been a full-blown ripper, folks, but the year isn’t over just yet. The Ashes aka the year’s biggest cricket event, is still yet to go down. To score one of 60 gold category tickets nation-wide, make sure you’re a Mastercard Debit holder and enter here.
