Hello to all the Minotaur Family (young and old),
HURSTVILLE CITY MINOTAURS YOUTH HAVE SECURED A HOME GROUND FOR NEXT SEASON 2011.
Last weekend (Sat and Sun 14-15th August) we had some important results. Some teams have already started semi finals, some teams played the last round and some teams have one round remaining this weekend.
Starting from the little Minotavrakia (6s, 7s and 8s), next Saturday is the last match of the season. I know you all had a good time and we hope you come back next year. Most importantly, remember Saturday 4th September as this is the trophy presentation day at our club Kingsgrove RSL. There will be a BBQ starting at 12pm followed by trophy and polo shirt presentation. Each and every player will receive a trophy so make sure you allow yourself time for this very important day of the season. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the players, parents, sponsors, coaches and managers.
Both our U/9A's and U/9C's are about to do battle in the up-coming semi finals - Congratulations and good luck to all players, coaches - George D., Angelo K. - and managers. Thank you to all the parents for their support. Stay tuned as we will update you on the date, time and venue on our website later this week.
The BIG NEWS last Saturday was the GREAT WIN of our U/13's youth team who THRASHED Springwood U13's 1 - 0 .
Whilst we are on the topic of youth teams I am happy to acknowledge the successful year so far of our U/14's and our U/16's. Both the U/14's and U/16's will do battle next Sunday at Valentine Park (Parklea) at 10.15 a.m. and 1.15 p.m. respectively. Congratulations and good luck to Rob and his boys and George and his boys. Every member of the Minotaur family is invited to make the trip to Parklea and support our little warriors.
In the seniors we have several teams in the semi-finals.
Our AAF's finished first on the ladder and have had a very good season. In the next few days we will inform you on this page, the time and venue of their semi-final match. Good luck to Lars, Kieran and the rest of boys.
Our O/35B's will play this Sunday against Lugarno for a spot in the grand final. Again good luck to Foti and all his boys. By the way, lads remember that football is a team game, so don't be afraid to pass the ball!
The 1st and Reserve Grade are travelling to Bathurst on Sunday for the last competition game. The 1st Grade has already secured a semi-final spot but with a win could improve their position on the ladder (2nd or 3rd). The Reserve Grade must win on Sunday to secure a semi-final spot. Important to know that our striker Michael Di Meglio is on top of the goal scoring list with 16 goals - 2 more than the second player.
At this point I want to remind everyone about the trophy presentation evening for our Youth teams, O/35's and our state league squad (1st and Reserve Grade).
Date:- Saturday, 4th September 2010
Venue:- Kingsgrove RSL, Brocklehurst Lane Kingsgrove
Time:- 7.00 p.m.
On this night we will find out the Player of the Year 1st Grade, the Player of the Year 2nd Grade, the Most Improved player AND the Club Person of the year AND much more. Too many to announce here and now. But I am happy to announce that Hurstville City Council have officially stated that we will have the use of Beverly Hills Park for our youth home games. This guarantees us participation in next year's FNSW Division One Youth League Competition. We have of course a lot of work to do to upgrade our park in order to satisfy the criteria for Division One Youth Grounds.
Until the next update look after yourselves and on behalf of the President and the Board of Hurstville City Minotaurs S.C. I would like to wish all our teams success in the upcoming semi-finals.
