The start of the 2024 local football season was delayed again due to the very wet weather. All matches in the area were called off and the Kappa Cup 3rd Round game between Burdekin Panthers and JCU Riverway has yet to be rescheduled.
The actual season is due to start this weekend with all five teams playing MA Olympic. The games were due to be played in Townsville, but the Olympic grounds were unplayable and Olympic wanted to play the games in the Burdekin, but after Monday night’s rain, International Park is also unplayable at the time of writing.
Senior registrations are now open and players must be registered by this Friday to be eligible to play weekend fixtures. Training Shirts are now available to collect at Senior trainings.
Jumper preorders are now open. Form is available on Facebook to order. Cut off is March 8th.
Training at International Park will be happening on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30pm for men and Wednesdays at 6:00pm for women, should it ever stop raining.
The Juniors are, unfortunately, in the same position. Pre-season Week 1 was postponed. Again, as well. Let’s hope we can get some drying conditions for next week and get the season underway soon.
Keep an eye out for details regarding the Working Bee and coaches clinic which were also cancelled on the weekend.
Monday Night Masters was cancelled again, so we will have another go at it next Monday assuming there is not too much more rain. So, it’s usual time, usual place, 6:30pm at International Park. New and old players are all welcome. In fact, it doesn’t really matter if you can’t play. Treat it as an escape.
The Matildas played the first leg of their Olympic Qualifier against Uzbekistan last Saturday and won 3-0 in a rather lacklustre performance. The second leg was played in Melbourne on Wednesday and, barring a catastrophe, the Matildas should qualify for the real thing in Paris.
