The first Skyrail Northern State Futsal Championships held between 23rd and 25th of January 2009 were a huge success with 12 teams competing from the NQ Region.

All teams competing showed a great deal of skill and work ethics as they went about their job on the court.

The tireless efforts of Coaches and Managers meant that the players were well looked after and had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend.

The tournament was a first for many of our players, coaches and managers and I’m sure that the experience gained by all will be invaluable in our efforts to improve the game we all love.

Congratulations to all team who competed!!

It was great to see the teams including the U10 Boys Thunder, U11 Boys Thunder, U12 Boys Thunder, U13 Boys Lightning, U15 Boys Lightning, U16 Boys Thunder, U13 Girls Thunder, U15 Girls Thunder, Thunder, Youth and Senior Mens, making the Grand Finals.

All teams from U10 Boys to Open Mens made the finals. WHAT A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT!!

Special thanks must go to all the players who also played in higher age groups often playing up to 6 games a day – their efforts and assistance was appreciated

Special mention must also be made of the U13 and U15 Girls teams who competed against the boys. Girls you did us all proud and the effort and improvement you displayed over the three days was terrific. GO GIRLS!!
