White_rectangle_5537 Pride Cup celebrates diversity and inclusion in sport for the lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual and intersex (LGBTI) communities by tackling homophobia in Australian Rules Football.

What started out in 2014 as celebration match between traditional rivals Yarra Glen and Yarra Junction has turned into a strong symbol for inclusion in Australia’s favourite sport. The 2015 Pride Cup was held on Sunday May 17 at Yarra Glen Recreation Reserve to mark International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO).

In this podcast JOY 94.9 brings you the proceedings of the Pride Cup 2015 Pre-Match Luncheon on the day.

Hosted by your MC, JOY presenter Dean Beck, guests include:

Keynote speaker Jeff Kennett
CEO of St Kilda Football Club Matt Finnis
Presidents of the football and netball clubs of the Yarra Valley and the Mountain District Football leagues
President of the Victorian Amateur Football Association Michael Hazell

With special thanks to the Pride Cup Working group. For more information on the Pride Cup visit pridecup.org.au
