Warriors Finish on a High

WOOMBYE Warriors Churches Soccer Club had some special reasons to celebrate at their breakup and trophy presentation on Sunday August 27, including a funding grant for a new clubhouse and participation in Olympic soccer.

Member for Nicklin Peter Wellington announced at the ceremony that the Club has been successful in obtaining a funding grant from the State Government to upgrade facilities at Jubilee Park. The $127,000 grant will be used to construct a new clubhouse and amenities block and upgrade lighting. This will also benefit the Vigoro Clubs who use the grounds in summer.

A highlight of the ceremony was the announcement that the Club has been invited to send 12 young players to take part in the Brisbane Olympic Football Gala Opening Ceremony on September 13 at the Gabba. The Club was happy to recognise a number of families who have contributed much over the last few years in selecting children from those families to represent Woombye Warriors, the Sunshine Coast Churches Soccer Association and Queensland youth soccer to an international television audience. Channel Seven has indicated they will be broadcasting the ceremony; keep an eye out for the Woombye Warriors. Bob Wade of the Woombye IGA Supermarket has donated a new set of playing jerseys so the squad will look their best on the night.

Three teams made it to the final series this year, including the Under 12A Red Warriors team who were Minor Premiers and runners-up in the Grand Final on Saturday. All of the Roo-Ball teams from Under 6 to Under 10 had a great season and many finished with round robin carnivals over the last few weeks.

Over 2000 children played Saturday soccer with the Sunshine Coast Churches Competition this season.
