Castle Cove Park provided a fantastic environment and location for player and families last Saturday to celebrate the end of the NSFA winter competition. It was great to see players of all ages interact and play together as one football family sharing the same values and football culture. A truly beautiful day with the sun shining and parents socialising in a setting other than a football game. 
Food and drinks were in abundance for all to enjoy as it is always the case with Mongo Football family events. 
A big Thank You to all the organisers and especially Maya for the choice of venue. 

The Friendship Cup kicks off this tomorrow Saturday, September 9th giving young players the opportunity to keep playing on Saturday mornings and build friendships through football. A great opportunity for families to make positive impact on these young people provided we can overcome short term sporting emotions, calculations and prioritise the long term benefits of participation and community building.
Players who want to continue playing during school holidays can join one of the two windows we have for term 3 school holidays. 

See you on the field. 

Cheers
