Burdekin FC’s 50 year celebrations started the night before the Gala Dinner at the Annual Escriva Cup and meet and greet, held at International Park on Friday, October 13.
12 teams battled it out in the social 6-a-side tournament, with Class of 13 defeating Mad Punts 3-1 in the men’s final and Pink Panthers triumphing over Fireball with a convincing 6-0 win in the Ladies final.
The Escriva Cup was established in recognition of past player and mate of the club, Eddie Escriva who served as the First Division goalkeeper for many years.
Eddie played his junior soccer in the Burdekin and went on to play for Ayr, Burdekin, and North Queensland.
The annual event is run by the SLoBs (Soccer Legends of the Burdekin) to raise funds for the Burdekin Ex-Players Benevolent Association.
