Name history
Rugby league history
Kev McKell Oval, in the Brisbane suburb of Keperra, is named after Kev McKell, a founding committee member of West Arana Hills RLFC who served as the club's Treasurer and later Secretary from 1975 to 1989. The three matches recorded here span 2017-2020: a 2017 National Youth Competition under-20s fixture between the Brisbane Broncos and Canterbury Bulldogs, and two 2020 QRL Women's Premiership fixtures, both of which are recorded as cancelled -- almost certainly a consequence of the COVID-19 disruption to the 2020 Queensland season, which explains why the site's data shows no crowd figures and a 2017-2020 span despite only one match having actually been completed.
