Brisbane Magic Futsal’s hugely successful first season has come to an end with Grand Finals night on show last Tuesday night.

Brisbane Roar’s young fullback, Ivan Franjic, who has represented Victoria at National Futsal level, was on hand to witness some great Futsal being played and also to present the trophies and medals to the teams.

Brisbane Magic Futsal wishes to thank all the players, coaches, managers, referees, volunteers and parents for their support. We look forward to another eventful season later in the year.

Wow. What an incredible start to the 2010 Qld School Futsal Premier League with the five under 14 boys teams competing at Robina State High School. This success was due to the fantastic organisation, quality refereeing, the coaches and many supporters cheering for all teams.

This year the organisers of the Queensland School Futsal Premier League hired Leo Tottenham, one of the most qualified referees to referee the games. Students from all schools also had the opportunity to learn from the best, with Leo teaching them specific rules while they referee alongside him.

All teams played exceptionally well, there were many close and intense games, for instance the game between Shailer Park SHS and Robina SHS with a goal to Robina in the last 20 seconds of the game, resulting in a three all draw. Assisi College played well and kept on top of the table all night. There was an exceptional match between Albany Creek SHS and Clontarf Beach SHS with a close result of 2-1 to Albany Creek.

It is a great achievement for all teams to play in such a tournament, as many of the boys have only being playing for a year or less. The results and points table for the tournament were as follows:

 

CHAMPION SCHOOL: Assisi College
RUNNER UP: Albany Creek SHS

Point Table

The finals were held after all teams had played each other once. Assisi College and Albany Creek were in the final for the trophy. It was an intense and very close game with the score being 2-1 to Assisi at half time. The end result was 3-2 to Assisi with both teams playing exceedingly well.

The next Premier League round will be held on Friday 30 April for the under 14 girls at The Anglican Church Grammar School in Brisbane. Hope to see many there! Good luck to all players competing!

Top Warwick all-round sportsman Ricky Sinkins has made the Australian under-19 futsal team.

Sinkins first played futsal at Warwick State High School in Year 8 and has since played club futsal at WIRAC.

He played with Warwick High at the Australasian Champion of Champions in 2007 when his team came fifth.

Sinkins first made a South West regional team in 2006.

He made his first Queensland team in 2008 in the under-19 age group but the trip to the nationals was cancelled as some team members suffered injuries and the team withdrew.

Sinkins made up for this disappointment last year when he again made the Queensland U19 side which travelled to Sydney for the nationals last month.

Queensland made the semi-finals and Sinkins was the leading goal scorer for his team with 10 goals, one-third of the goals scored by his team.

Sinkins now has a chance to travel to San Francisco on an international futsal tour with the Australian under-19 team in November.

He will be away for 16 nights and is one of only two Queenslanders in the national team.

As well as futsal, Sinkins plays football for the Warwick Wolves in premier division and toured Japan with the Warwick colts in 2008.

“It is pretty exciting to make the Australian futsal team,” Sinkins said.

“The trip itself will be a great experience.

While he isn’t carried away with the possibility of playing the sport professionally, he would love to play futsal at higher levels.

A Kawana futsal player was deemed to be the most valuable player on his Queensland representative team, but he probably would not tell you that himself.

Kayden Oakes, from Kawana, travelled to Canberra as a member of the Queensland futsal team three weeks ago for the FFA futsal championship and was named the most valuable player for the 14 Boys division.

Kayden, who has since turned 15, has been playing futsal for five years and the championship was the second time he had represented Queensland.

The team made it to the semi-finals and Kayden put in an exceptional effort.

However, he was not entirely sure why he was named most valuable player.

“I don’t know why. I played all right,” he said.

His mother, Kristy Melvin, who went to Canberra to watch Kayden play, was a little more forthcoming about his efforts.

“He is modest. He played really well,” Mrs Melvin said.

“He got 27 goals out of the 59 Queensland scored.”

The Queensland team, made up of selected players from Brisbane, the Gold and Sunshine coasts and Toowoomba areas, got together and trained on the weekends leading up to the national championships in January.

To all our Senior Male players – We have been invited by Gold Coast Futsal and Brisbane Magic to place 2 teams in a Winter Futsal League to be held at the Beenleigh Arena every 2nd Friday night starting 9th April. Please register your interest with us ASAP as we will name the teams and organise training sessions.

The competition is open to Football Queensland registered players/teams. The format will be a 12 team competition with teams playing 2 games each night. Teams will play each other twice with the top 4 teams playing off for the championship series.

This is a great opportunity to compete against other regional teams around the SE
