WELCOME to 2008 30th Anniversary 2008 sees the thirtieth year of the Northern NSW Schools Soccer Association and the Bill Turner Cup. More recently the girls Bill Turner Trophy series became part of the organisation. Last year’s final saw Hunter Sports win both the Cup and the Trophy without conceding a goal in either competition - a truly remarkable feat! It was very pleasing to see the Cup again won by a team from the Hunter region, the birthplace of the competition, after a gap of nineteen years. Once again there are large entries in 2008 from Queensland, Northern NSW, ACT, NSW and Victoria. The pilot competition in Western Australia is still in recess. We are honoured to have endorsement from Football Federation Australia, along with NSW, ACT, Northern NSW, Queensland and Victoria, as well as from the Newcastle Jets, Central Coast Mariners, Sydney FC and Queensland Roar. We would also like to thank Northern NSW Football and the Queensland Roar for the financial assistance they give, to support the competitions. Our “Code of Behaviour” appears again in this year’s handbook. We encourage all readers to photocopy the documentation for distribution. There have also been a number of very important administrative alterations and rule changes. Please carefully read and check all the rules in this handbook. Personally I would like to commend the efforts of our dedicated Executive. They have worked tirelessly over recent years to keep the Bill Turner Cup and Trophy going strongly, despite having no major sponsor. Finally we seek your continued moral and financial support this year and would like to invite you to attend, if possible, the final series on September 9th and 10th.

Football’s massive junior base has long been intertwined with school football and the first serious football outlet for many young players is undoubtedly as a representative of the school team. Both the Bill Turner Cup and Trophy have long been an integral part of Australian football’s junior development structure, and, like all members and contributors to the Australian football family, have undeniably played a major role in the success of recent years. Indeed the two tournaments have seen the participation of a number of current Qantas Socceroos and Qantas Matildas who competed in the tournament during their formative years. It is a credit to the Executive Members, led by Patron Bill Turner and President Lindsay Hewison that the competition continues to thrive and strengthen. Thanks to the untiring efforts of both Bill and Lindsay, as well as countless other volunteers, the competition has grown from a humble Hunter region competition to the current structure featuring over 500 schools across a number of states. Undoubtedly the tournament has outstripped all expectations since it’s beginning over a quarter of a century ago. It would also be remiss not to acknowledge the efforts of the State Managers, Area Managers, coaches, principals plus referees, parents and the numerous volunteers. The longevity and success of the cup is a testament to the countless hours donated by all concerned as they uphold the rules and code of behaviour. Finally and perhaps most importantly of all, best wishes to those school students who will be competing in 2008. Enjoy every moment of your participation and remember that you are not only ambassadors for your school and the competition, but also for our great code in Australia. BEN BUCKLEY CHIEF EXECUTIVE FOOTBALL FEDERATION AUSTRALIA Northern NSW Football is proud to continue its association with the Bill Turner Cup – an association that has been in place since the competition’s inception in 1979. Northern NSW Football recognizes the importance of this competition to developing junior talent at scholastic level and is proud to join with the likes of the Northern NSW Schools Soccer Association and the Football Federation of Australia in acknowledging the significance of the Bill Turner Cup. Integral to the success of this tournament over the years has been the dedication of teachers, administrators and members of the Northern NSW School Soccer Association, as well as the players, coaching staff and officials.
