Weekend Grand Finals


Good morning folks,
NCFZ have been inundated with telephone calls this morning (Friday) from the local football community with concerns as to the Grand Finals being rained off! So here is an update.

Dont panic folks. I have just spoken to the head curator at the International Stadium and he is confident that the games on Saturday and Sunday will still go on.

The Stadium has a superb drainage system and unless we get a torrential deluge on Saturday morning THE GAMES ARE ON AT THE CH INTERNATIONAL STADIUM!

We are awaiting an update from the Maclean Club regarding the Clarence Juniors but unless we hear anything to the contrary all games are on this weekend.

However..........
So as not to stuff up the fields for the Sat/Sunday games tonight's Over 35s Grand Finals will be postponed until next Thursday evening "September the eleventh" how appropriate eh? (The O/35s kick off times will be the same as on the website). Sorry to the old boys but we want to protect the fields as much as possible for this weekends games.

Should some unforeseen climatic event occur between now and tomorrow morning - Hurricane Katrina?? or an alien invasion, we will put details on the website immediately.

The rule is "GAMES ARE ON UNLESS NOTIFIED OTHERWISE".

See you this weekend.

Clarence Grand Finals Preview


The preliminary finals last week certainly provided excellent entertainment and large crowds at all of the grounds indicating football is alive and well in the Valley. Our local 1st Division Mens team (Maclean Bobcats) went down to the visiting Boambee side 2-1. This year the Bobcats have certainly stamped their authority in the top grade and it won't be too long before we see them competing in a Grand Final.

Coffs Harbour International Stadium plays hosts to all senior grades Grand Finals this Saturday and the Valley is well represented by two clubs that have excelled in their respective competitions this season.

Grafton City 3rd Division stood up to be recognised and avowed that their promotion to 1st Division was no fluke next year with a win against Yamba at Maclean last week. They have a chance to avenge their semi-final defeat to Macksville at Coffs International Stadium this Saturday at midday.

Our only senior ladies team, South Services Sirens, certainly earned their place in the Grand Final with a tough 1-0 win against southern neighbours Woolgoolga Wildcats. The Sirens meet competition heavyweights and minor premiers Urunga Raiders also at Coffs Stadium at midday on Field 2.

To the Clarence Junior Grand Finals...
Whilst many kids will be at home this Sunday morning pandering to all their dad's wants and needs on Fathers Day, many boys and girls will be hoping to impress their families on the football field playing Grand Final football.

The Maclean club is playing host to all the Junior Grand Finals. From the six games being played the Maclean and Majos clubs are well represented having three (3) teams each in the finals. The balance of the Grand Finalists clubs represented include (1), Lawrence (1), and those from our northern and southern boundaries being Iluka (1) and Coutts Crossing (1).

Under 11's 9.30am Maclean Field 3
Maclean Hawks vs Coutts Crossing Cougars

The Hawks beat the Cougars in the semi-finals two weeks ago. Last week the Cougars had a hard game but managed to pip Yamba to advance to the Grand Final. Throughout the year the two teams have met twice and Maclean have been the better team on both occasions. The road trip to Maclean will be hard one for the Cougars but their current form is strong which will ensure a very close game.

Under 12's 10.30am Maclean Field 3
Lawrence Lazers vs Maclean Falcons

The Falcons caused a bit of an upset last week by defeating Yamba 2-1 in the preliminary final. They meet a Lawrence team which is full of enthusiasm and confidence. Head to head, Lawrence have won two out of three encounters. The teams were very evenly matched at seasons end with only a few goals separating their points for and against. Both teams will be relieved they are not facing minor premiers Yamba. This could well be the first game of the day to go to penalty shoot-outs.

Under 13's 9.00am Maclean Field 1
Majos Mites vs Maclean Magpies

Maclean had a few teams in this division and last week their Magpies upset the more fancied Wolves with a 3-2 win. The Magpies are up against the Mites and both teams have been scoring plenty of goals late in the season. Majos scored a convincing win over the other Maclean team to reach the Grand Final. If recent form is any indication than this game should see many attempts on goal by both teams. An entertaining match.

Under 14's 10.15am Maclean Field 1
Majos Cougars vs Yamba Hammers

Strap yourself in for a humdinger of a match. These two teams have by far been the most impressive attacking outfits of all junior team divisions this season. They have amassed no fewer than 90+ goals each this season. In the last round of the season Majos beat Yamba at Yamba. In the semi final Majos beat Yamba at home. This will be neutral territory for the two young dynamic teams and the result is anyone's guess. Another penalty shootout perhaps?.

Under 15/16's 11.30 Maclean Field 1
Iluka Stingers vs Majos Lions

These two teams have the unique advantage (or some may see it as a disadvantage) of playing during the day rather then the usual Friday night fixtures. Minor premiers Iluka come in to this match as favourites. The Stingers won their semi final encounter against Yamba a couple of weeks back. Majos, who finished fourth on the table at seasons end, have done a herculean effort to make the Grand Final by defeating Westlawn in the semi's then downing Yamba last week in a close game. Iluka have been dominant over Majos during the season and would be eager to maintain that dominance in the Grand Final.

Whilst the Grand Final indicates the end to the season, NCFZ will be conducting the Zone Junior Championships on Saturday 13th September 2008 at Woolgoolga grounds. Those clubs who won their minor premiership of their respective division play off against their southern colleagues to claim Zone Champion status.

2nd September 2008Barney Barselaar 6/8/99 - 26/8/08
Vale Barney Barselaar


North Coast Football extends its sympathy to Barselaar family.

It is with deep sadness that the Board and Management of North Coast Football extends its sympathy to Rob and Lainie Barselaar upon the loss of their son Barney last week.

Barney came home from school on Tuesday with a high temperature & complaining that he did not feel well. Later that night, while taking a bath, Barney lapsed into unconsciousness and never awoke.

Barney played in the 9 years Woolgoolga Sharks team with his mates who had been there with him since the under 6's. Barney enjoyed his final day of football at the gala day held Sunday before last at Maclean Street.

Barney's Dad Rob, who also coaches the team, had club jackets made up, each monogrammed with the player's name, which were to be given out in a few weeks, however, for reasons not really known at the time, Rob decided to hand the jackets out to the players on gala day. Barney proudly wore his for the remaining two days of his life.

Rob, Lainie and Barney's brother Sam are comforted in a small way by the joy this final gala day provided for their late son, who had turned nine just three weeks before.

"We have been overwhelmed with the love and support shown by our friends and family," an emotional Lainie said this week.

"We want you to know how much we have appreciated what everyone has done for us," she added.

Rob has decided he will go ahead and play in the Over 35's Grand Final this Friday night with his Woolgoolga Dolphins team rather than quietly sitting it out which he had considered doing.

But more important than any game is Rob and Lainie's commitment to the Australia Organ Donor Program which, in the midst of devastating personal upheaval, provides a future for other Australians battling severe, often terminal, medical conditions.

In the days since Barney's passing, the familiy has learned about several recipients of Barney's organs; a teenage girl received his lungs almost immediately, a teenager also received Barney's liver, another teenager received one of his kidneys while a middle aged man received the other. Barney's corneas have been donated to medical research while his heart valves are being scrutinised to see if they may used by a patient, otherwise they too will go to medical research.

"It actually gives us a great deal of comfort to know there are four or five families celebrating a new lease on life this week and there could be more to come," Rob said.

"We want everybody to consider organ donation. It is so important," he added.

For more information about the Australia Organ Donor Registry go to: www.organdonor.com.au

Barney Barselaar's funeral will be held at St Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Woolgoolga on Saturday September 6th at 11.30am. Rob & Lainie would love to see as many of their friends as possible on this day, including junior footballers who will be made especially welcome.

Coffs United Lions claim Premiership



Coffs United Lions have claimed the Premiership with three full rounds remaining in North Coast Football's men's 1st division.

Saturday night's win over Boambee Bombers took the Lions to 40 points, but it was Sunday's unexpected win by Northern Storm over Maclean which handed the title to the Lions.

Maclean Bobcats went into Sunday's match still feeling they had a shake at the premiership, however that quickly fell away as the Storm side muscled up in defence to keep them scoreless.

That loss means Maclean sit 11 points behind the Lions with only nine maximum points available to them in what remains of the home & away season.

The Lions have earned a more relaxed training run this week as they use the remaining three games to fine tune their set pieces and settle on their finals line up.

The question is: who can realistically challenge them for the title? Maclean have been the second best team all year, but have started to drop games at the business end of the season. That's two in a row now. Have their batteries run flat or are they simply getting their bad games out of the way now instead of during the finals?

Boambee has been rocked by the injury to Brady Parker as they try to mount a finals campaign of their own. They could still finish second, but they no longer look to be the imposing side of a few weeks back. They too have lost two in a row.

Sawtell Scorpions are on the rise and they only need to keep winning to claim fourth spot. However, the way things are going, Sawty could finish even higher.

And then there's the rest. Who would you put your money on to challenge for fourth? Each week there seems to be a new contender, but all of them (Woolgoolga. Urunga. Northern Storm and Coffs Tigers) need Sawtell to lose a game if they are to have any hope and that could happen with the Scorpions set to face Boambee, Coffs Lions & Coffs Tigers heading to the finish line.

Our congratulations to the Lions who have once again been the dominant team in North Coast Football. We look forward to their performances in the finals and the Champion of Champions which remains a case of unfinished business.

Matildas' Captain in Nambucca


Photo: Matilda's Football Captain, Cheryl Salisbury, and happy Nambucca fan, Sarah Orman It was great to have the Captain of the Australian women's football team, Cheryl Salisbury, spend some time with some of the Nambucca Strikers players.

Unfortunately it was too wet on Thursday night for a training session but we gathered in the Nambucca Leagues & Sports Club.

Once we'd looked over the range of Nike gear, Cheryl graciously signed mementos and posed with fans for photos.

A contingent from the Nambucca women's team was keen to chat and get a photo with Cheryl. There were some keen juniors too who might not realise how talented this tall, lanky lady is but they'll treasure her autograph and photos for years to come.

Photo: Matildas Football Captain, Cheryl Salisbury (3rd from right), with Nambucca Strikers womens team.

Salisbury mentioned that the call for the Matildas to play a friendly game with the Japanese Olympic women's football team came with only a few weeks notice and some regular players had commitments that prevented them from being at this game.

This included Salisbury who had work commitments. Salisbury said it was an opportunity for Australia's up-and-coming players to test themselves at the international level and gain valuable experience.

Our thanks to Lyn McRae for the report & photos.

NCFZ 2009 PRESENTATION NIGHT

NCFZ will be holding the 2009 Presentation evening on Saturday 20th September. The evening will be held at the Coffs Ex-Services Club (our Major sponsor). We are going up market a bit this year so it will be a (semi formal) gala event with a sit down dinner and a well known national football identity as guest speaker. NCFZ will also be presenting various trophies to the best players, officials and clubs of 2008 season.


We have 200 tickets available (first in best dressed) and we expect representatives from all senior clubs to attend. (Maybe a good way to thank your committee members and volunteers). Tickets are $35 each but NCFZ will subsidise $15 towards the cost, so for this year only $20 a ticket. It will be a fun night and once again we will do the senior draw for the 2009 season and also draw the winner from our "Escape Travel" raffle.

Thanks folks, have a great weekend and PLEASE circulate this information throughout your club.

Attention all NCFZ members

Escape Travel Coffs Harbour will give your club Free Money!

Yes that's right it is free, we all need to travel so why not get paid to do it?

Every time you book flights, holidays, car hire, accommodation, tours or travel insurance we will pay a reward to your club.

So put the word around your families, friends and work colleagues, get them to mention you and your club and the reward will be paid, it's as easy as that!

Also don't forget that the Team at Escape Travel is providing the major raffle prize and selling tickets is a dead easy way of getting even more money for your club.

Amazingly you'll get to keep 80% of the takings, lets face it... that has to be better than many of the alternative fund raising activities!

Now you know how it works, spread the word,
there is such a thing as FREE money!
