FLOREAT ATHENA FC MATCHDAY PROGRAMME VOL 6

Season 2020

FLOREAT ATHENA FC v COCKBURN CITY SC Round 8 Saturday 3rd October 2020 E&D LITIS Stadium FAFC NEWS ROOM FAFC CHAIRPERSON

Welcome everyone to E&D Litis Stadium.

Welcome to Cockburn City SC President Ms Heidi Lazzaro, First Team Coach Scott Miller, committee mem- bers, coaches, assistants, players, supporters, sponsors from both clubs.

With much excitement and anticipation we are here for the last senior fixtures before final playoffs in Season 2020. And whilst it would be easy to focus on the challenges Covid 19 brought to our game and club I will instead focus on the amazing efforts of the many people whom have rallied together for the good of our sport and club. I sincerely thank our volunteers and our wider community for their endless dedication and support in all they do for Floreat Athena. The Club simply would not endure without you, thank you. Today a win from our senior team will translate to Athena being crowned with the 2020 NPLWA premiership title after a long break from the previous such win in 2007. Regardless of the outcome the potential to win this title today is testament to the hard work, sacrifice and dedication of a magnificent squad of players, lead- ers and support staff that have faced the toughest test in a year like no other. Congratulations, Good Luck and we are proud of you! Concurrent with football matters the Board has been working to secure our home for at least 10 years when the new lease is signed this month. A massive outcome for the club and community and I sincerely thank all the people that have contributed thought, time and energy as well as our loyal financial contributors throughout this prolonged period. A team effort aptly rewarded in securing Athena’s home and the pending activation of the $3 million Federal Government grant. I urge you to stay tuned for all the developments coming Athena’s way. As the last weekend of senior football I take this opportunity to congratulate the junior NPL/Development and miniroos players, coaches, assistants, managers, coordinators, volunteers players and parents. You have been magnificent, patient and enthusiastic in representing our club. I wish all our teams the very best of luck in their final games. I hope the celebrations tomorrow night for our junior NPL and Development teams are successful and wish you all the very best. Our miniroos will also be celebrating their season in the near future and wish you a successful event also. Again sincere thanks to the volunteers who continue to go above and beyond. Together the Athena family has worked tirelessly for our kids! Good luck to all the teams this weekend!

Today we look forward to celebrating a great day on the park and hope to see wonderful displays of football. Please join us afterwards in the clubroom and who knows it may be extra special! Thank you ET (Emmanuel Takoniatis) FAFC Chairperson

THANK YOU TO OUR FAFC 2020 SPONSORS CLUB REPORT HEAD COACH VAS VUJACIC

I would like to welcome the players, sponsors, supporters and officials of Cockburn to Litis Stadium for the final oundr of the season in what will be a ` championship deciding game. Last week our boys put on a fantastic performance away to Gwelup. The 3-0 victory has seen us return to the top of the ladder and sees us on the verge of our first championship since 2007. It’s been a long time between drinks, too long for a club like Athena. After the disappointment of losing our first oundr of the finals to a late penalty against Sorrento our boys have showed an unbelievable spirit and resilience to score late winners against ECU and Armadale to put us in this position. The most pleasing thing is the adaptability of the group to the constantly changing line-ups, the whole squad has stepped up and played their part. Today’s game against Cockburn will certainly not be a formality. They have the opportunity to win the trophy if results go their way. Their squad has a lot of quality and we need another disciplined performance to ensure we can lift the trophy. On a personal level this season has been thoroughly enjoyable for me and I am proud to coach Floreat Athena. I would like to thank Mirko Jelicic and Ante Kovacevic for their support and contribution to this year. Finally, I would like to thank the Club, volunteers, sponsors, and fans for their ongoing support this year, hopefully we can celebrate together at the end of the game!

We are privileged to be hosting the final league game of 2020 and as a side will be looking to end the league positively. The last few weeks have been challenging for the group both results wise and personnel but as a coach I’ve been proud of the commitment the boys have shown. We’ve also been able to elevate a number of players to first team football as well as feature a number of 18s players. There is still a mathematical chance of finals qualification however the aim this week is to prepare ourselves for a tough and disciplined opposition. We thank all for the support shown this year and for the tireless work done behind the scenes for what has been a difficult year both football wise and on a bigger scale.
