The young Bears were at home this week as they took on Football Mid North Coast.
Always tough games against teams that have such a big catchment to draw from and as usual our lads were up to the task.
Well done all and...
C'mon You Bears!!!

"I went for a walk around the block to stretch my tired old legs, passing a scrap metal dealer with a second hand shop.
I was keen to look around old and interesting things. I spent some time there and located a box of scrap items sitting near one of the large scrap bins.
The cup was the largest item in a box of steel kitchen tools, pans, saucepans and many other small metal items. It was lying on its side, half covered in scrap with it's handle clearly visible, as if to say pick me, pick me.... So I did".

This is, without doubt, the most important moment in the story of the NSW State Cup.
This trophy was the crowning glory for the best football teams in Australia from 1928 to 1940. Teams on this Cup include Adamstown, Cessnock, Goodyear, Metters, Wallsend and Weston.
It represents a time when football in the north of NSW was king and our teams the best. It also signifies a change in the football landscape with the appearance of 'factory teams' from Sydney such as Goodyear & Metters.
Over the next few months we will continue to update the amazing story of this Cup, Terry Hickey's vision, our Club's role and the bright, safe, future of this piece of history.

Congratulations to Thomas Oliver on his selection to play in the Australian Youth Men's Futsal Team and compete at the Pacific Cup. This is an international tournament held in San Jose, Califronia this July.
As you could imagine this will not be cheap and to help meet some of the costs Thomas has started a 'Go Fund Me' page. His page contains great background to his selection and his dreams as a footballer - we can all relate to that!
Please take the time to visit Tom's page and, if you can, support one of our lads on his football journey.

THERE'S one word Newcastle man Lee Ashton wants to see less of: but.
The word joins two sentences into one – almost seamlessly – but so often can be an abrasive barrier to young men eating right, according to Mr Ashton.
