Lane Cove Football Club

Note from the President

Hi Everyone,
Firstly, I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for 2017. Planning for the 2017 season is already underway with trials for the Development Squads now completed and the AGM held.  We are currently finalising the full list of committee names and duties so will be sending further details on this in the New Year. In the meantime we hope to have registrations open on or very close to January 3rd for the new season so don’t forget to get online and secure your place. We are hoping to have a minimum change in playing rates for 2017 as we are conscious of the investment that you all make. If you have any queries or concerns please don’t forget to let us know.
For your information the Club made the decision recently to make a donation to West Pymble Football Club to assist them with the development of their ground at Norman Griffiths to an artificial surface. The committee felt we should be providing support for initiatives of this type which can only benefit all players in the NSFA region. The plus side of this is that West Pymble has agreed that for five (5) years its teams will not sing their victory song should they by chance have a victory over a Lane Cove team! The penalty for any failure on this rule is severe!
For 2017 we have once again entered the FFA Cup and hope to get a little bit further than we managed in 2016! 
We are continually seeking help with coaching from within our ranks, with the Women’s All Age teams in particular looking for help in 2017. If you can assist please let us know. The Club is happy to support our players get the necessary coaching licences at our cost.
Here’s to another fantastic season for the Blue and Gold in 2017!

Kind regards,
Francis Child – LCFC President

Yesterday evening at Blackman Park, hardworking Lane Cove Members Aidan (aged 11) and Tallin (aged 9) with the assistance of their parents, ran a successful BBQ/Canteen! 

Regardless of the unpredictable Sydney weather they served up a delicious sausage sizzle as well as cold drinks and icy poles.

Aidan and Tallin will be running the BBQ/Canteen every Tuesday evening at Blackman Park throughout the 6-a-side tournament!

So whether you are a player or a spectator, bring down some extra change and you won't go hungry or thirsty.

 

NSFA held their annual President's Dinner on Saturday the 5th of November at the Kirribilli Club.

At the event, Lane Cove Football Club was represented by a number of guests including the LCFC President, Francis Child, and Kaylar Michaelian and his wife Janet Michaelian who were invited as LCFC's major sponsor Hyecorp.

LCFC were fortunate enough to receive a number of awards on the night, representing the strong and successful club that we aim to be:

• MAA Premier League Player, Robbie Kerr, was awarded the NSFA Mens All Age Premier League Golden Boot Award as well as the NSFA Mens All Age Premier League Overall Player of the Year Award.
• WAA Division 1 Player, Belinda Kayser, won the NSFA Womens All Age Division 1 Overall Player of the Year Award.
• Vice President and Juniors Coordinator of the Club, Steve Prescott, won an NSFA President's Award for his years of contribution towards Lane Cove Football Club. Steve has served on the committee for many years, played in the O35s and O45s teams, coached a number of junior teams and spent more time putting up and taking down nets at Blackman Park/Pottery Green than nearly anyone else in the Club!

LCFC would like to congratulate Robbie, Belinda and Steve on their outstanding achievements.

Kaylar Michaelian (Hyecorp Sponsor), Robbie Kerr (LCFC MAAPL Player), Belinda Kayser (LCFC WAA Div 1 Player) & Francis Child (LCFC President)

Congratulations to Brenton Boswell & Cameron Woodbury who will both receive a free LCFC Registration for the 2017 football season!

Brenton has 2 children who played in the junior competition this year and Cameron plays in the mens all age competition.

The LCFC Committee would like to thank all respondents of the 2016 LCFC Survey. 

Your responses will help us build a better club for the future!
