At MFC's recent AGM the club patron for Season 2015 was announced. Many club members will be unaware that many of our Premier League games are attended by footballing royalty. Some of you however will know that I am referring to Willie Wallace. Willie played as a striker in the 1967 Celtic side from Scotland that was the first British team to win the European Cup defeating Inter Milan 2-1.

Most of you will know that Warren has been very involved with the running of MFC having filled many senior roles within the club over the years and sacrificing countless hours to provide football to Murwillumbah.

Today MFC remembers a stalwart of football in Murwillumbah. Neville Mudge sadly passed away after a short illness on Tuesday 4 November, 2014. Aged 86 years.

Important notice re: MFC's Major Fundraising Raffle...this was to be drawn last Sunday 6th April at the Premier League match of the day vs Surfers Paradise. As this match was washed out, as were several junior training sessions and games, we have had to select a new date for the major prizes to be drawn.

The Winter 6 a Side Draw 2014 is now available.

Last Saturday MFC held a Junior Open Day at Les Cave Fields. It was a fantastic success with a great turnout.

Special thanks also goes to our major sponsor Wilsons-Displays who provided training shirts for every junior and senior MFC player. Not long to go now until another successful Junior MFC season...

In a close tussle Murwillumbah went down to a strong Broadbeach, 1-0. MFC went into the match missing five key players but welcomed back captain Luke Morley. It was a tough, tight first half with Murwillumbah running into a strong wind. An early chance was missed when a shot from Baithok Ring hit the crossbar.

MFC shared the points with Merrimac on Saturday with an entertaining 1-1 draw at Jim Devine field. The first half of the game showed real quality from both teams as each squad cautiously tested for opposition weaknesses and gaps. There were really very few chances from either side. But then Merrimac suffered a set-back when one of their players was unexpectedly sent off.

Brisbane Roar are hosting a 2 hour Football clinic at Queens Park, Mooball Street (opposite Jim Devine Clubhouse) on Saturday 29 March at the same time as the MFC Premier League game vs Burleigh Heads.

In an incident filled game, Murwillumbah dominated Gold Coast Knights to win their first game of the season 5-1. MFC took to the field in defence of their Premiership Title with a bit of an unknown team despite pre-season games. A number of last year’s players have moved on and injuries to key players have kept them on the side line.

Enjoy this fantastic promo video of the most successful MFC senior season ever. Put together by Troy Godbee it shows just how far we have come as a club this year and no matter how tough it got with the clubhouse build, two floods and being ridiculed by most of Gold Coast football community on our entry to the Premier League back in 2012,...MFC truly lived by the motto, "Not Giving In".

In a historic day for the club MFC were crowned Premiers of the Gold Coast Premier League for the first time. Only needing one point to claim the league with 3 games to spare, MFC did the job in an entertaining nil nil draw with Mudgeeraba. In an end to end game with several unconverted chances Murwillumbah did enough and also kept their unbeaten record intact.

Come down to Jim Devine Field this Saturday and WATCH MURWILLUMBAH FOOTBALL HISTORY TAKE PLACE. We are definitely not taking anything for granted as we are up against a very strong Mudgeeraba side but if the A grade side get at least a draw then they will officially be crowned champions of the Gold Coast Premier league for the first time. If this does happen then a trophy and medal presentation by

After last week's superb demolition of Palm Beach with goals from Justin Tannock (2), Chris Garside and Troy Ruthven, MFC took on Broadbeach in a top of the table clash down at Jim Devine Field. The setting was perfect for football after a very large crowd enjoyed the opening of the new clubhouse. They were not to be disappointed with high quality and intense football from the start.

The perfect way to entertain and help develop the kids skills over these July school holidays. Coach Baz and SIBA Soccer will be running SIBA Soccer programs at Murwillumbah, Kingscliff and Tweed Heads over the break. Check the "more" section below to see all the details.

U/11s MFC had a great day at the Nerang Carnival. The entire team represented the club with distinction both on and off the field. They recorded wins against Nerang, Robina, Tugun, a draw with Merrimac and an unlucky loss to Stanthorpe. The clubs premier league future looks secure!

After last weeks demolition of league leaders, Burleigh Heads 5-2, Reserve Grade continued to pile the pressure on Southport who currently hold 4th place on the ladder, with another superb performance beating Merrimac 6-1.

After last week's thrilling and gutsy comeback to draw 2-2 with Burleigh Heads with goals from Jordy Campbell and Justin Tannock deep into injury time, Murwillumbah were looking to get back to winning ways in their match of the round fixture with Merrimac on Sunday. It was normal service resumed with MFC coming out on top 4-2 but not after Merrimac made the top of the league MFC side work hard.

This morning at the MFC clubhouse National Party Leader, Warren Truss and National Richmond candidate, Matthew Fraser, announced that the National/Liberal Coalition, if elected to Government on 7th Sept, will provide funding of a $185,000 Federal grant to build change and shower facilities at Jim Devine Field.

With the season one third completed, the two u/11 teams are on fire. Both teams are playing some great football, scoring plenty of goals and showing excellent sportsmanship.

Patrick Wilkinson, Pancho Symes and Joseph Warne are representing the Far North Coast at the State Titles in Coffs Harbour this weekend. Congratulations to all u/11 players and good luck in Coffs boys. Go MFC!

Photo caption: Morley out-leaps the Knights defense to score his first of the day...For the first time this season MFC fell behind in the scoring, not once, but twice. This was a great test of character for the boys who came through the shaky start and asserted their dominance over the Knights, replying with four goals of their own. It was a classy Luke Morley hat-trick and a cool finish from Justin Tannock that kept MFC's unbeaten record intact.

Murwillumbah Football Club invites you to our Under 6, 7, 8 and 9 Carnival (Non competitive)
Date: Sunday 4 August 2013
Venue: Les Cave Oval, Elizabeth Street Murwillumbah

Both grades turned on some fantastic football last Saturday away to Mudgeeraba, comfortably winning both grades. The 1st team played some of their best football of the season to put the much talked about Mudgeeraba squad to the sword coming out victors 3-1. In a first half display that produced some of the best football seen on the Gold Coast in many a year Murwillumbah created chance after chance but luckily enough for the shell shocked Mudgee the score ended at HT only 2-0 to MFC. The contest was soon over in the second half as MFC got a third with Mudgee finishing up with a consolation penalty late on in the piece.

Lauren has achieved tremendous success having just recently been selected in the North Coast u/13 Girls team to compete at the NSW State Titles. The titles will be held in Wyong next week on 28-30 May. This achievement gets even better when you consider Lauren was the only girl from the Tweed area to be selected in the team which represents a region covering North from the Tweed and South down to Port Macquarie. Congratulations also to Lauren's great MFC coaches who have helped with her progress including Bianca Ryffel, Mikaela Davis & Stephen Morgan. Good luck at the titles Lauren, all of MFC is behind you!

FGC and Palm Beach Football Club have announced the trial dates for any aspiring U11's wishing to have a crack at the big time and trial for next season's National Premier League Squad. Click more below to see all the details.

In a game where MFC barely got out of 2nd gear it was still brilliant football to watch as our first team toyed with their opponents and kept possession for very long passages of play. The writing was on the wall early on for Southport as MFC eased into a two goal lead courtesy of goals from Simon Hurcombe and the competition's leading goal scorer, Luke Morley.

In a game of two halves MFC bounced back from a disappointing 1st half to completely dominate their opponents in the second clawing back a 2 goal deficit to finish up 4-4. Down 4-2 at HT, after some lacklustre play and a some freakish long range goals from Southport the boys had some honest words amongst themselves and comitted to play with more quality and pride in the second half.

In a top of the table clash last Friday night MFC and Broadbeach played out a one-all draw meaning MFC keep their 5 point gap at the top and also maintain their unbeaten record. In a game where the tackles were flying in thick and fast from both sides it was MFC who got the first goal courtesy of a neat flick from Justin Tannock onto Chris Garside who finished clinically in the bottom left corner. MFC went into the sheds at HT one up but encountered an even more determined Broadbeach side in the second half desperate to close the gap at the top. Broadbeach marginally had the better of a torrid second half battle equalising with a well taken free kick. MFC's rock solid defence still has only conceded 2 goals all season from general play with the opposition mainly having to rely on free kicks and penalties to break down our very strong back four. At the end a draw was probably a fair result but MFC came ever so close with a couple of one on one opportunities towards the end that were stared down by the Broadbeach keeper. Although MFC may be a little bit frustrated that they never played their best football in the second half it was still an excellent result to come away with a point from Broadbeach who had so much to play for.

Last Saturday all 4 teams of the Under 6 kids played at home. It was a beautiful sunny day on the fields! There were some great games and it was good to see that the kids are really getting the hang of it while we only are 1 month into the season. For most of the Under 6 kids this is the first time they are playing a sport in a team environment. Here you see the boys of the Blue team in action against Tweed United. The atmosphere is excellent in the U/6 camp thanks to the many very helpful and enthusiastic parents!

Thanks also to the three hard working age coaches Walter Hendrikse, Greg Jones and Justin Twohill.

It was another dominant display from our Premier League 1st Team who came out victors 6 nil. The Gold Coast Knights could not live with Murwillumbah and received a footballing lesson. MFC's keeper, Nathan Wilson, had very little to do while Murwillumbah played intense possession football knocking the ball about and making the opposition work hard. Goals were scored by Luke Morley, Troy Ruthven, Chris Garside, Keanu Sparkes-Young and two from man of the match Simon Hurcombe. MFC stay on top by 5 points to Broadbeach who lie in second place. This sets up a massive fixture with Broadbeach this Friday night at their place with both teams anxious to make a statement on who is more likely to be challenging for the Premiership come the end of the season. This is a 6 point fixture if ever there was one! Reserve grade went down 2-1 in a tough and very close encounter. MFC dominated possession but unfortunately it wasn't their day in the final third.

Commencing Wednesday 1st May for u6, u8 and u10s
Commencing Wednesday 8th May for u7, u9 and u11s
See you all there, Coach Bazza

In as tough a game MFC have faced this season MFC did just enough to get a win against a very hard working Palm Beach side. It was down to some very solid defending and clinical finishing which finally meant MFC came out on top and kept up their unbeaten record. A penalty from Troy Ruthven and two from man of the match, Luke Morley, saw off a very sharp and determined Palm Beach side. On a day when the side did not fire on all cylinders it was very satisfying to still come out on top and stretch out there lead at the top with one of the following group Burleigh Heads dropping two points at the Knights. It is a fantastic position for the club to be in and one that means that we will have a target on our backs as others look to topple our unbeaten record and incredible start to the season. Keep it up lads! Reserve grade were unfortunately on the end of a hammering against league leaders Palm Beach. With players unavailable and one being sent off in the first half it was an even tougher prospect. With a full strength squad the team is sure to bounce back. Keep the heads up lads!

Tonight MFC dealt a crushing 8-1 defeat to last years premiers, Merrimac. In a game that MFC dominated from start to finish the victory never looked in doubt. At 2-0 MFC were in cruise control and moving the ball slickly around the park. MFC's cause was helped by Merrimac's indiscipline who had two players sent off before the break. Again it was a superb team performance with each player winning the individual battles and getting on top of their opposite number. Goals were shared across the team with 2 each from Troy Ruthven, Luke Morley and Chris Garside whilst Simon Hurcombe and Bryce Tory also chipped in with one each. Joel Saye and Mathew Peate were once again outstanding in defence and never gave Merrimac's attack a look in. It was a great way to bounce back after the very tough news during the week that one of our stand out performers of the season so far, Alex Thelwall, suffered a season ending knee injury. That one was for you Alex! Everyone at MFC wishes you all the best and know you will come back better than ever.

MFC held a successful open day at Les Cave Fields to ensure all our juniors and parents were raring to go in 2013! The kids got a taste of games down at Les Cave again whilst parents were run through a few tasks like field set up and canteen duties, all of which will ensure we have a great season 2013!! Thanks to all, Doug Warne (SSG Co-ordinator)

In a fitting tribute to the memory of Sam whose life was commemorated in an emotional presentation prior to kick off MFC turned in another very solid display coming out victors by 3 goals to 1 against the much fancied Mudgeeraba side. Goals by Simon Hurcombe, Luke Morley and Troy Ruthven were enough to see off a determined and capable Mudgee side. MFC were the better side throughout but the win was hard earned and not clear until the final 10 minutes. Once again MFC's defence was superb with Shaun Core at left back taking out the man of the match award. MFC Ressies had a tough shift and were on the receiving end of a 4-2 defeat.

In an action packed Saturday at Jim Devine Field - MFC will play host to Mudgeeraba with kicks off at 2pm and 4pm NSW. Coach Bazza will be bringing his inflatable pitch so the kids can have loads of fun while mum and dad take in some top quality Premier League football. Although it is still very early in the season MFC have got off to a flyer and sit at the top of the table. Mudgeeraba bought up big in the off season and have an excellent team that are yet to fire. It will be a tough one and we need your support! Don't forget there will also be a presentation for Sam before the main game.

A special presentation to the foster parents of Sam, Bernie and Sandra Zietlow, will be made this Saturday at 3:30pm just prior to kick off in our main Premier League fixture versus Mudgeeraba. A memorial has been created by the club and will hang proudly in our new clubhouse upon its completion. The Memorial has been proudly donated by Paul and Craig Smith of PCS Cabinets. Sam touched many lives and inspired many people at MFC. Come down this Saturday for the presentation which will be made by special guest, Willie Wallace. Willie was a European Cup Winner in 1967 with the famous Glasgow Celtic.

In a rebranding exercise by Viva Soccer the NNSW and SEQ regional centres will now be known as SIBA Soccer. Nothing else changes. Coach Bazza remains as coach and key point of contact and all timetables and programs remain the same.

To view the draw please go to the 'Six-a-Side Football' section of the site menu. Look under 'Winter'.

In a very intense, high quality fixture MFC and Burleigh played out a nil all draw last night at Jim Devine Field. The excellent crowd on hand witnessed an epic battle between two sides that were desperate to assert their authority over the league.

MFC had another victorious day at the weekend winning both grades. MFC 1st team came up against a very determined Southport unit who are without a win so far this season. Goals from Alex Thelwall, Luke Morley and Keanu Sparkes-Young were enough to come out on top. Reserve grade put in the performance of the day coasting home 6-0 with a superb hat trick from Brent (Rooney) Malone and one each from Bryce Tory, Adam Rogers and Sam Reynolds. Some great football played from the boys!

NO that is not a misprint. If last week's 5-1 win against Palm Beach did not raise a few eyebrows. This week's demolition of one of the title favourites, Broadbeach, will be sending tremors all around the Gold Coast. MFC Reserve Grade also produce a stunning result taking out their game 6-5 in a classic. What a great day for MFC!

MFC are back! The Gold Coast Premier League got a massive wake up call this afternoon as MFC romped home 5-1 against Palm Beach.

Sorry to be so blunt but it is very important that everyone is well informed prior to the 31 March cut off. Players can not take the field until registration fees are paid in full. Don't forget that all junior games and small sided games begin during the weekend after Easter.
