Prep Footballers Shine on the Field

Football Preps are shining in the United Cup and Mini Premier Invitational.

After weeks of playing in-house matches on the Somerset grounds. Our preps were invited to participate in the United Cup and Mini Premier Invitational. 

This Football Club Season, our Somerset Spartans Football Club have played their in-house Football games, every Saturday morning for the Preps. From Year 1, our Football Club has been entering teams in the FQ South Coast Miniroos Leagues. To allow our Preps to play official matches, our Prep Footballers played their first competitive football matches last month. The students were very excited to face the first-time footballers they didn’t know yet.

The first tournament took place at Coplicks Family Sports Park. The Students and Parents were required to meet Coach Maarten and Coach Lucy. After a morning briefing regarding rules for playing and behaviour, we prepared to warm up. The Spartans played matches against GC United, Robina Football Club and Southport Football Club. Somerset entered the Tournament with two teams. For the last match of the day, our Spartans played the match against each other.

Our second tournament took place at Magic United TFA. This day, we got enough students to form two teams. We welcomed a few new players that were not able to attend the United Cup. And for some students, it was their second tournament of the month! We played against Nerang Football Club, Magic United TFA, GC Knights and Musgrave Football Club. Over the whole day, our teams had wins and losses. But most important, everybody had lots of fun! The teams were coached by Coach Maarten and Coach Tim.

We would like to thank Gold Coast United for organising the United Cup and the Magic Group for organizing the Mini Premier Invitational.

Thank you to all the parents we came down and helped during the day!
