With round 15 complete, we look to three rounds of AFL Sunshine Coast Junior footy left before finals and ultimately that one day in September – Sunday 4th, Grand Final day.
In all some fantastic footy has been played in season 2011, yes for a few teams it has been tough going with numbers and playing within tough competitions. We trust that all will have got good benefit out of their footy in 2011 and player development has weighted heavy in review of individual matches and the season as a whole.
The end of season carnival for our 500 plus under 8 and 10 players is now less than three weeks away, and come Sunday 14th August all roads will lead to the “woods” for this exciting conclusion to their season. A great day is in store for these youngsters and their families as Nambour & Hinterland AFC, with the Sunshine Coast Juniors look to create a fantastic carnival atmosphere – we trust the weather will be kind to us out that way as over the past few years AFL carnivals, wet weather and Palmwoods go together in the one bucket – so everyone please pray to the footy gods for Blue skies.
At our youth levels of under 12’s, 14’s and 16’s two divisions in all, we see some very interesting ladders developing. Ladders that we believe will give all four teams’ confidence and highlighted capability that on their day they are most capable of taking the chocolates. In fact if you have a close study of the under 16’s division 1 competition we witnessed last Sunday the second draw between two of the teams to compete in Caloundra and Noosa Blue. Maroochydore Green 16’s just going about their business in comfortable style at this point, whilst Pomona have found the past few weeks a little tougher after a flying start to their season – a need to rediscover their ‘mojo’.
So to all enjoy the end to another season, keep working on your skills and forming lifelong friendships whilst participating in the greatest game!
So the scheduling of finals venues for season 2011 is as:
- Under 8/10’s carnival @ Nambour & Hint AFC - Sunday 14/8/11
- Youth Semi Finals
1. @ Glasshouse Hint – 6 finals = 2 on Friday 19/8/11 & 4 on Sunday 21/8/11
2. @ Nambour & Hint – 6 finals = 2 on Friday 19/8/11 & 4 on Sunday 21/8/11
- Youth Preliminary Finals
1. @ Caloundra – 3 finals = Sunday 28/8/11
2. @ Noosa – 3 finals = Sunday 28/8/11
- Youth Grand Finals @ Maroochydore – 6 finals = Sunday 4/9/11
As you will understand we are not able to schedule who is where, when and whom they are playing until after round 18 and thereafter until each weekend of finals is complete.
A polite reminder at this point that for our youth finals, adults attending are asked to pay $2.00, this helping clubs with the costs of hosting of finals.
So book your seats now at a ground near you, as our finals footy in 2011 is going to be a hell of a ride.
