The RMB Lawyers Community League Cup competition kicked off on 12 March with both the All Age and Masters team categories all drawn in the inaugural knock out tournament.  This is giving some teams a great little prelude to the season proper which kicks off for them on Saturday 2 April. The first two stages of the cup games are scheduled across a few different venues and FSC would like to take the opportunity to thank Albion Park, Oak Flats, Shell Cove, Dandaloo and Russel Vale Football Clubs for their preparation of grounds at this stage of the season. The Cup competition/knock out resumes on 23 April and again on 19 June for the teams that are still alive. The semi-finals are scheduled for 10 July with the final scheduled just before the end of year finals series.

There is also a new format in the All Age Division 1 for 2016. Each club has two teams (First and Second Grade) and they can share players between the grades. FSC believes this aligns better with the Men’s Premiership competitions and makes the competition stronger. With this introduction, there is new hope for clubs who wish to progress with promotion to District League a possibility (providing League conditions are met). The First Division consists of 10 clubs – Albion Park Cows / Coledale Waves / Coniston FC / Crescent Star / Cringila Stallions / Dandaloo FC / Oak Flats / Port Kembla Pumas / Uni Wolves and Wollongong Fury.

We’d like to take this opportunity to once again thank RMB Lawyers for their support of this competition.
