Come and try local soccer
FOOTBALL Queensland is hosting a ‘come and try day’ where youngsters can meet local club representatives tomorrow.
Football Queensland Far North regional manager Sarah Campbell (right) said the event was at Endeavour Park, Manunda, from 9am-1pm tomorrow (Saturday, February 1) if the weather improves.
“They can have a kick about on an inflatable pitch, learn from FQ coaches for those that have never played before and receive giveaways,” she said.
Ms Campbell said in the event of wet weather it would be held indoors.
Clubs sending representatives include Redlynch Strikers United Football Club, Edge Hill United Football Club, Marlin Coast Rangers FC, Stratford Dolphins Football Club, Southside Comets Football Club, Atherton Eagles Football Club, Leichhardt Lions FC Leichhardt Junior Soccer Club, Souths Football Club Inc, Trinity Anglican School, Cairns and Douglas United Football Club.
The first round of the Queensland Cup is on this weekend.
Ms Campbell said, due to the amount of nominated teams, the Redlynch men’s team had to play Mareeba to see which team progressed through to round two.
The round one game is at Calanna Park at 6pm tomorrow. Round 2 for the men on February 8 is: Marlin Coast v Stratford (Feb. 7), Leichhardt v Edge Hill, Redlynch/Mareeba v Innisfail and Atherton v Comets. The women’s is Leichhardt v Edge Hill, Stratford v Mareeba. Edge Hill and Comets have a bye.
