Don’t forget the sunscreen and sunnies this weekend — it’s gonna be HOT at Billa Road!
Good luck to all Brumbies, where ever you’re playing this weekend.
Sorry to those who missed out on the newsletter last weekend. It was a cracking issue, but the internet gremlins had other ideas! 😩
Go Brumbies!
Play in purple this weekend
It’s time to dig out your purple socks! Bangor Football Club will #PlayinPurple this weekend the 15th and 16th of July!
#PlayinPurple is a national campaign by PanKind, The Australian Pancreatic Cancer Foundation that raises awareness and critical funds for pancreatic cancer research and patient support. Players who will be wearing their socks from a previous year are encouraged to make a $5 donation here https://pankind.org.au/donate/
On the day, please don’t forget to take photos of your teams in their purple socks and send them our way, either via our Facebook page or to communications_assistant@bangorbrumbies.org.au.
We hope you will join us in supporting this great cause and help PanKind turn sports fields across Australia purple for pancreatic cancer! Go Brumbies!

West Brom clinics a huge success!
Wow! What an incredible two days of football and sunshine we had at Billa Oval for the West Bromwich Albion July School Holiday Football Clinics.
46 of Bangor FC’s finest players, training with four top level coaches from the Albion Foundation.
Players and parents alike were stunned by the quality of coaching and it’s fair to say the coaches were just as impressed with the quality of players and level of effort on display too.
Thank you to Eddie from the Bangor FC Training Academy for organising such a fantastic and enjoyable training event. And thank you to the West Brom coaches who came all the way from England for us.
We’ll give a bigger wrap up of the event next week. For now, here’s a few pics from the two days.
Simple ideas to help busy coaches plan fun and creative training sessions
Check out these Coaching Session plans from Football Australia
Coaches, do you ever struggle to come up with fun and creative ideas for your training sessions? Are you looking for some new skills and drills to challenge your team?
Football Australia has a whole range of resources including session plans, webinars and coach’s newsletter to give you some great ideas.
The MiniRoos Kick-off Sessions will give you a simple framework for planning fun and varied sessions, plus a number of games designed to teach your players important skills and help develop a love of the game.
These training sessions are based on 5 components:
- Small-Sided Game — start with a fun and free game like street football
- FUN Football Game — fast, repetitive activities to develop fundamentals
- Small-Sided Game (with variation) — another fun game, with a twist
- Physical Literacy Game — fun challenges that develop physical skills
- Small Sided Game — let them play!
There are also some great ideas for older players to help develop skills and tactical awareness and even some goalkeeping sessions.
We hope you find these sessions useful!

Notices
➡ Solander Oval: NO Water and Portaloo in place
Please be advised that Sydney Water have turned off the water to Solander Oval due to a major leak under Captain Cook Drive.
Council have delivered Portaloos and Cronulla RSL volunteers will be ‘trucking in water’ to satisfy sanitisation and other necessary requirements.
If you’re playing at Solander Oval this weekend (and potentially longer) please be aware of this situation and take precautions if necessary.
➡ Sutherland to Surf this Sunday — beware of road closures!
The annual Sutherland to Surf fun run is on this Sunday 16th July.
Please note there will be various road closures along The Kingsway from Sutherland to Greenhills from about 7.00 am to Midday.
MiniRoo Sideline Behaviour
The SSFA would like to share their concern about the sharp increase in abuse and incidents during the 2023 season.
We believe it is time to take a stand and remind EVERYONE that your MiniRoo football matches on the weekend are not a platform or arena for poor behaviour, or for abusing and confronting each other on the sideline.
It is particularly important that this message sinks in with respect to ALL MiniRoo referees, both during and after matches.
Just, remember that the majority of MiniRoo referees are aged between 12 to 16 years old. One day to might be your child refereeing!
Make no mistake: poor behaviour amongst players, spectators (parents), towards MiniRoo referees and each other should NOT be tolerated.
BUT it’s not just the MiniRoo referees that deserve respect – it is all of you!
Everyone deserves to be able to attend matches without being abused, so the time has come for EVERYONE to understand that enough is enough.
Let’s finish the 2023 season on a positive note!

Brumby of the week!
Our Brumby of the Week for Round 15 is Haddie from the W9Ds!
Haddie played an amazing three games for the Brumbies on Saturday! Starting out by supporting our W10Cs who were short on players due to the school holidays, Haddie then played her own game with W9Ds before also helping out the W9Bs! Haddie played her heart out in all three matches and even scored two goals! Great work Haddie!
This week’s honourable mention goes to the U13Ds who put on a gutsy performance with only nine players, losing 4-2 to a team with a full bench of subs. The boys never dropped their heads and everyone gave 110%. Amazing effort boys!
Thank you to everyone who sent in a nomination! Who will be our next Brumby of the Week? To nominate a player, send a message to our Facebook page by 9pm Sunday with a photo as well as their name, team and why you think they should be crowned Brumby of the Week.
