Motocross is a type of off-road motorcycling race. The races take place on gravel, mud or grass-road circuits and the discipline is one of the most skilled, exciting and energetic motor sports around.
The 2025 ProMX Championship takes place over eight rounds from March to August, starting in Wonthaggi, Victoria, and ending at Queensland Moto Park (QMP). The series will visit locations across Australia, including three new venues: Traralgon, Warwick and Nowra. Appin returns after a year off, while Wonthaggi, Gillman, Toowoomba and QMP remain key locations.
Wonthaggi hosted the opening round on March 22-23 for the fifth year, with strong local support. Its challenging track, scenic setting and excellent amenities make it a fan favourite. Excitement was high as riders, including reigning MX1 champion Kyle Webster – who calls nearby Korumburra home – began their battle for the 2025 title.
Charli Cannon, seven times winner of the Australian Women’s Motocross Championship, captained Australia to another team victory in the Oceania Women’s Cup.
Rabbitohs dig deep
The season started well with two unexpected wins against the Dolphins and the Dragons. With eight regular first-graders out, the team had to dig deep – and the results show the depth in the club.
Jamie Humphreys is putting so much effort into making the halfback position his. That was a remarkable field goal against the Dragons! I thought wow! Am I dreaming? Humphreys is a third-generation first grade player. His father is Stephen, and his grandfather was former ARL chairman Kevin.
Cody Walker is still going strong. He has a fantastic football brain. And Bennett is the Great Motivator. He makes the simple things count.
The game against Cronulla showed the effort is still there. The Sharks had all their stars and too much talent on the day. Things will be different next time.
On another matter, I just want to say that Souths’ mascot known as Reggie the Rabbit had the decency to apologise for pushing a child who jumped the fence into the players’ tunnel. Enough said.
What can I say about victory over the premiers on March 27? Glory, glory to South Sydney!
