CAPITAL FOOTBALL PREMIER LEAGUE www.capitalfootball.com.au Welcome to the Capital Football 2011 Season A very warm welcome to everyone to the 2011 Capital Football season and, in particular, to our Premier League competitions. We particularly welcome back The Tradies club as naming rights sponsor of the Women’s Premier League and extend a warm welcome to The Rock Development Group who are the new sponsors of men’s Premier League football. The support of both of these sponsors is crucial in maintaining a viable competition in terms of standards and rewards for the competing clubs so thank you to both for adding their name to our competitions. Whilst on the subject of sponsors I’d also like to thank Derbystar for their continued support of the Premier League competitions through the supply of match balls to all competing clubs and TigerTurf, who installed the pitch at the Hawker Football Centre and who sponsor our club championship award. Season 2011 promises to be another exceptional year for football in the ACT and surrounding region. Our flagship competitions have undergone structural changes with teams leaving and joining the top flight. The men’s Rock Pre- mier League has been re-structured after ANU FC chose not to pursue Premier League football and will revert to a nine-club competition with two bye’s for each club throughout the season. In The Tradies Women’s Premier League Brindabella Blues have made way, after a tough season in the elite division to focus on building their playing ranks with a view to possibly moving back into the Premier League in later years. In their stead we welcome Gungahlin United, a young vibrant club with close links to Canberra City in the Rock Pre- mier League. Their appearance in the women’s competition means that we continue with an eight-club league and a 21-round format that proved very satisfactory last season. The 2010 Capital Football season was punctuated by the FIFA World Cup held in South Africa adding some top-class international football to the calendar and a chance for our players, officials and supporters to watch matches on their televisions and become inspired to take up, or follow, the local game. 2011 offers a similar opportunity in the Women’s game with the Matildas taking part in the FIFA World Cup to be held in Germany in June and July. They’ve been handed a tough draw with Brazil, Norway and the unknown quantity that is Equatorial Guinea standing in the way of a quarter final berth. But we believe they can do it! Keep an eye out during the season for news on where you can follow these matches on SBS. And finally I’d like to extend our appreciation to John Logue and Alan Bradbury for their contributions to the Board over the past years. John, in particular, has been a stalwart throughout the post Crawford Report years and seeing us through the unification of four organisations into a single entity as well as steering the Kanga Cup organising committee for eight years. We welcome two new Directors in James Selby and Eddie Senatore and will soon announce a new chair and deputy chair for the board and organisation. All that remains is for me to wish you and the referees all the very best for a successful 2011. Enjoy your football and I look forward to seeing you around the grounds during the year. Heather Reid CEO. Capital Football KEEP UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE NEWS, RESULTS & LADDERS THROUGHOUT 2011 AT: WWW.CAPITALFOOTBALL.COM.AU 2 Welcome to the Capital Football 2011 Premier League Season WELCOME FROM THE WOMEN’S LEAGUE STANDING COMMITTEE The 2011 season got off to a great start with the Women’s loop Federation Cup. Eight teams competed again this year and newcomers to Premier League, Gungahlin United, showed they are ready for the challenge of the year ahead. Belconnen United were this year’s champions defeating Woden Valley 3-1 on penalties after the score was 0 – 0 following extra time. It was an exciting game and the defence and keepers were outstanding. The Pre Premiership competition was also successful with most of the teams that will be playing this season nominating. For many teams this tournament is an opportunity to experiment with player positions and for novices and new recruits to have a run with their new team mates. It’s also a time for coaches both new and returning to try something new. Once more a good number of teams have nominated in the State League / Master’s competition and with the start of the season just around the corner, we are looking forward to what promises to be another successful season full of fun and great contests. We couldn’t have the great competitions we have without the efforts and dedication of our coaches, referees, volunteers and supporters. Thanks for your contribution to women’s football in Canberra. I hope you have an enjoyable season. Fran Sankey Chair—Women’s Standing Committee WELCOME FROM THE MEN’S LEAGUE STANDING COMMITTEE Capital Football looks forward to a revamped State League competition after the recommendations from the SL review were completed in 2010.
