Line marking for the two large fields, mowing of the grass on the under 7/8 field and erection of the remaining goal posts will be carried out this Sunday at 29 April starting at 9am.

To get the job done we will need 2 or 3 ride on mowers, wheelbarrows, shovels and rakes. If you are able to donate your ride on for the project or have any questions please contact Tom Pressler on 0408 889 172. As always your safety is important to us and we ask that you wear closed in shoes and a hat.

We would love to have as many helpers as possible there on the day, as always many hands make light work.

Players wanted to attend a soccer clinic in Boonah.  Ages 5 & up.

Clinic will be led by Justyn McKay from Soccer X on the Gold Coast.

9am to 1pm on either Sunday May 27 or June 10 @ Coronation Park. Cost is $35/child.

My boys did this clinic on the Coast during Easter break and had a ball. Their game skills improved markedly, as did their passion for the game.

Please register your interest by emailing me – Alice Gorman c/o alice@gormanmedia.com.au

Good Morning All,

At the AGM I mentioned that QCSA had secured the privilege of some of our 2011 UNDER 6 / UNDER 7 / UNDER 8 children being able to escort the BRISBANE ROAR and MELBOURNE VICTORY teams onto the playing surface of SUNCORP STADIUM on DECEMBER 31,2011.

This is now a confirmed reality and I would like to invite ALL teams with boys and girls in these three age groups that were registered in 2011 to participate in this unique opportunity. To make it fair on everyone, I would like clubs to forward me the NAMES of interested 2011 REGISTERED PLAYERS in the above age groups so I can form a ballot (if need be). We need 22 young players (given that we had over 1000 registered in 2011 this could get big)…and CONFIRMATION that their parents are willing and able to take their children to Suncorp Stadium on December 31, 2011 for a 7.45pm kick off.

TO REGISTER CHILDREN FOR THE BALLOT PLEASE EMAIL ME AT treasurer@qcsa.org.au WITH THE NAME AND 2011 TEAM/CLUB (Yes they will be checked) FOR THE CHILD. REGISTRATION OF A CHILD IS (a) NO GUARANTEE THAT HE/SHE WILL BE SELECTED and (b) CONFIRMATION THAT THEIR PARENTS ARE COMMITTING TO ATTENDING THE GAME ON DECEMBER 31, 2011.

(YES THIS IS NEW YEARS EVE – PLEASE ONLY ACCEPT NOMINATIONS FROM PARENTS COMMITTED TO BRINGING THEIR CHILD TO THE GAME)

The final 22 players will be given a THREE tickets to the match (one for them…and one each for their parents to attend)

And before everyone asks…The FINAL 22 players selected will all “draw straws” to see who walks on the field with Harry Kewell J

I know that this is NOT the right time of the year to be doing this, but it is very important to the QCSA that we have 22 of our junior players in attendance for this game (boys and girls), as we have also been promised the same deal at another ROAR home game later in the year (sometime in MARCH when Soccer is more so on the minds of most QCSA parents)

Please get this out to AS MANY PARENTS AS POSSIBLE so all children have an opportunity to participate in this special occasion

Best Wishes to all and Kind Regards,

Tony Scarcella

QCSA Treasurer

Many thanks to all the participants, supporters and volunteers who made this year’s Scenic Rim Country Cup one of our best ever! Check out the great pics…

Please assist the club as it prepares for the annual Scenic Rim Country Cup by attending a working bee this Sunday the 11th of September starting at 8.00 am.

We are going to be able to have all games played at Coronation Park for the Scenic Rim Cup this year which will make things a lot easier.

But to be able to do that we need to tidy up the two fields next to the showgrounds. If this does not happen we will use the High School oval and that makes the job twice as hard so we need to make this working bee happen.

Everyone who can attend needs to bring a steel rake, a wheelbarrow and a shovel if possible. The fields have been topdressed but a machine can only do so much and we need to get the fields up to scratch.

If you can not make it make be sure you tell anyone and everyone who you know in Boonah Soccer Club about this working bee so that they can help out.

The more help we get the sooner the job will be done and we can all enjoy our afternoon.

Congratulations to the following teams for reaching the preliminary finals, a great effort from our Boonah teams!

U11 Boonah Blaze were defeated by Whitehill Hornets 2-5

A big congratulations to all the teams that played brilliantly today in trying conditions. Our U9 &U10s were both through to the preliminary final stage while our other teams were in their first round of semi-finals. If any teams have photos they would like posted please send them to scottmoff@gmail.com.

The U9 Boonah Hotfoots fought valiantly against St Catherine’s Reds at Jim Donald field. Despite our best efforts St Catherines won 1-0. A great season for our boys and coach Damian.

U10 Boonah Bulls went down 1-0 to Westiminister Sharks at Jim Donald field. A great season for the team, coach and supporters.

Our U11 Boonah Blaze were down 3-1 at half time to Logan Uniting at Britain Park only to level the score to 4 all with a couple of minutes to go.  After several close calls for both teams in extra time it was still 4 all at the end of extra time.  Boonah triumphed in the penalty shoot 3-2 with a final result of 7-6. Well done Boonah!

U11 Boonah Blaze after their nail-biting victory - time to dry off!

In semi-final results U12 Boonah Broncos lost to Beaudesert 2-1 at Calamvale College fields and our U13s went down to North Pine Hawks 2-1 at Peter Lightfoot Oval.

The U15/16 Girls defeated Silkstone Baptist 1-0 at Lowood Sports Ground. Excellent result girls. The U15/16 Boys were unlucky against the Mansfield Eagles at Worley Park – the final score 4-2 to Mansfield.

The club wishes the best of luck to our teams that continue their finals crusade!

As you may be aware, our friends at Blackstone lost their clubhouse last year to a fire. They are holding a major fundraising event to help them get back on their feet. On Saturday, 30 July they will be holding a Human/Labour auction and a Cent  Auction.  Starting at 5pm for the Human/Labour Auction and then 7pm for the Cent Auction at Ipswich Bowls Club, Queens Park Ipswich.

All members of the Boonah Soccer Club are invited, so why not come along and support the club and enjoy a great night out. There will be tea/coffee and drinks and also light refreshments available.  Any enquiries call Chris on 041 056 1956

There have a few fixture changes lately. Please note the following:

• U15/16 Girls – Saturday 25th June (Rd 9/7) – Redbank Plains 2 (5:00 PM) – U15/16 Girls, Westminster v Boonah. Westminster is now the home team for this match.  (This was originally to be played on May 28)
• Under 13 Division 3 – Round 17/15 has been deleted from the Under 13/3 comp, so as to make it a straight 14 round comp, therefore, playing each other twice.
• U11 Division4 –  Round 17/15 has been deleted from the Under 11/4 comp, so as to make it a straight 14 round comp, therefore, playing each other twice.

What a fabulous and unforgettable June long weekend the Boonah ‘Da Booms’ Under 16 girls have had. Without the sponsorship and generous support given to us by Boonah Carrying Co, Boonah Hardware Mitre 10 and Cahill Building Contractors, along with Da Boom families support, we would not have been able to nominate our team to try out for the National team.

Action from last weekend’s under 16 Daboom girls.

A first for QCSA

This is the first year in the history of Queensland Christian Soccer that the Association has had an under 16 girls team and boys team, in club soccer, state titles, and nationals, as we were invited by QSCA to play as a team, we wanted to be a part of it all. The State Titles were held over 3 days at Redbank Plains.

Friday night game

Our first game was on Friday night against Norths. Everyone arrived unsure what to expect, however we were all very excited and our spirits were flying. We played under lights for the first time ever and every one of the Da Boom girls were firing! The girls were very strong in both attacking and defence, rewarding us with our first win for the carnival, 4/nil. Our support group of friends and family cheered the girls on which helped to keep us all warm on a chilly night.

Saturday games

Saturday morning loomed grey and chilly and everyone arrived early rugged up with coats, blankets, scarves and beanies. On Saturday Da Boom played three very hard games. The first game against Wests was tight with the girls losing 2/1. This did not drop the girls’ spirits as they dusted this off and went out to play again with the determination to get control of the ball. The 2nd game was against Easts with a convincing win 5 nil. The last game for the day and probably the hardest as the girls were starting to run out of energy was against Wests again with a nil all draw. We were very proud of the girls’ games and their performance as a team. They worked in together, helped and supported each other both on and off the field. Not only that, they have respect for their opposition. Lucky for us all, there was no Soccer on Sunday, the girls were very tired and needed a much earned rest for the day.

Monday games

Monday arrived bright and sunny; the girls were both excited and anxious about the day ahead. The first game was against East, which was a tough game on sore bodies and spectators’ nerves. The final score for this game was nil all. The girls had a three hour break before the second and final game for the weekend. It was off to the lolly shop for a quick fix on sugar. They had a great chill out time as a team. Also time to watch some other games on the fields around them. Then it was time to concentrate on the job ahead. The team we played was Norths which was another hard game, with both teams scoring one goal each, resulting in another tied game.

Overall winners

The final part of the weekend was the presentation and naming of the 2011 State team for Under 16 Girls. Da Booms were very ecstatic to be announced the overall winners for the Under 16 girls, by 1 point. Congratulations Da Booms you have zoomed.

State Reps

Excitement peaked as four of our team members were selected to represent Queensland in Newcastle at the end of September for National Titles. Kimberley Cahill, Dimity Comino, Ainsley McLaren and Ruby Spillman are all off to Newcastle to compete at the next level. Congratulations girls, well done.

Thanks

A very big thank you to the girls for the way you have conducted yourself on and off the field so far this year. Each and every one of you should be very proud, as we parents are. Thank you to the amazing cheer squad for your great support and encouragement for the team. Thank you coach Nic for your coaching skills and your time and effort you put in each week, we really appreciate it. Thankyou Phillip for stepping in and helping with the girls over this fabulous weekend. Parents thank you for your total support and team work, and once again big thanks to our Sponsors for your support.
