Champion Open Mens team FNC NSW are the convincing winners of the Queensland Summer Futsal League following their 8 goals to 6 classy win over Sunshine Coast last weekend.

In a one sided first half the team showed their prowess over opponents with Vinnie Lorette leading the charge for FNC slotting home three fast goals setting up the teams six goal lead by the break.

This gave FNC NSW a comfortable buffer to comfortably win the match after a late charge by Sunshine Coast to reduce the lead by two at the end of the match.

FNC NSW have played some very entertaining football during the tournament and were deserved winners following a ten game campaign.

To qualify for the final the Sunshine Coast team had to dispose of Gold Coast City in the semi final and were triumphant in that pursuit 5 goals to 2.

Sunshine Coast had lost there previous two outings against the unpredictable Gold Coast team but little did it show in the emphatic win lead by their youth squad and the guiding wisdom of veteran Justin Morrison.
