Northern Beaches Open 2009
| Winners | Glebe FBC |
After a number of years of being "almost" there we now have another great throphy again!!
I believe the official tournament report said it the best:
"I don’t think many people would argue that the best team of the weekend lifted the trophy. If you are in doubt, just check out the attached stats.
Best point scorer, MVP of the tournament, best defence, most amount of shots on opponents goals fired, the list goes on.
Also their only real challenge came in the actual grand final game against an also formidable Storybridge outfit that toppled
the organising team in a 1 goal come from behind win in the semis. A successful revenge for the lost grand final in 2007 against
Northern Beaches Stingrays.
The grand final was a very entertaining affair with Glebe taking an early two goal lead.
But just as they turned a deficit in their semi final, the visitors from Brisbane pulled back to 2:2 half way through the match.
But this is when Jaakko Vahtola started warming up and sealed the win for Glebe with two spectacular goals to add two more to his
impressive tally of 27 points from 5 games!
He was a deserving MVP for the tournament and proofed unstoppable for all teams."

NSW Elite Series 2008/2009
| Winners | Northern Beaches Stingrays |
It was a tough Grand Final, Northern Beaches took the lead and managed to extend it to 0-3 before we started our comeback. At the end of the game we were under by two, took out our goalkeeper and managed to score another goal before Stingrays finalized the score to 4-6.
We've had a good season with a few up and downs including a few unexpected losses but we managed to come back in the end and it was almost enough!
We'll be back next year...
Northern Beaches Open 2008
| Winners | Vikings FC |
Another tournament has come and gone.
We started the tournament by winning our first pool game against Sydney Swingers with 6-1, moved on to crush the Weston Creek Pirates with 16-0 and won our pool by beating the Blue Bulls with 5-2.
We were then faced with the Melbourne team, Vikings FC, which proved to be too good for us. We had a good few chances and the game was close with a 1-2 score deep into the third period. We were forced to attack at the end which tired us down and we allowed the Vikings to extend their lead to a final score of 2-5.
Strengthened by their Semi-Final win against us, Vikings FC smashed Sydney Swingers in the Grand Final with 10-1 to become this years NBO champion!

| Winners | Glebe FBC |
What a tournament it's been, first we win all the 12 games during the season and then we win the Grand Final in style. It was an exiting game to wrap up the season with, Bondi managed to keep up with us for 2 periods, but in the 3rd they had no chance!
After being up by two goals in the 1st period we found ourselves behind by one after the 2nd, a very unusual situation in this tournament. Luckily we got ourselves together and managed to score 2 goals in quick succesion in the first minute of the 3rd period. The rest of the 3rd period was ours, but the end result of 8-5 still shows that it was an exiting game.
Well played guys!

Fresh from their recent victory in the Salming Eastern Elite Series, the Northern Beaches Stingrays are again victorious after beating the Spartans FC in a thrilling final. The Stingrays managed to go through the competition as the only unbeaten team and even though two players received match penalties in the final, forcing the team to play 5 against 3 for 5min, they came out victorious.
In the Women’s division NTUC FC managed to win a close game against the WA Emus to make sure that a Singaporean team now has won the title two years in a row.

Salming Eastern Elite Series 2008
| Winners | Northern Beaches Stingrays |
What a final it has been to the first interstate series. Northern Beaches prevailed in a highly dramatic best-of-three win that needed to go the distance and then some! After losing the first game 3:6 and then hammering Beaches 7:1 in the second it certainly looked like the minor premiers Bondi would bring it home. In the final game however they surrended the lead 3 times in a 7all draw. With one win each and a draw it went straight to penalty shoot out, where Northern Beaches Stingrays made it count to secure the first Salming Elite Series trophy!
In the play off for third Glebe and SBT batteled it out with lots of awesome goals to admire. Glebe FBC however scored a few more to win in 2 games 8:6 and 12:7.
Congratulations to all the teams. It has certainly been a good tournament and a good start to this format. The aim for next season is to build this to an at least 8 team comp. In Dural we have the capacity of two courts and we should encourage teams from Central Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong and maybe a second Canberra team to join the comp.
