Glebe FBC making headlines!
9th December 2008
This month, we made it to the Fuji Xerox's Staff Newsletter.
The article is based on interviews with Janne and Amaru and also mentions Kimmo and Jari as all four are employed by the company.
And even though they got the website address wrong, it's still a good article.
Best game of the year so far!
7th December 2008
The game against the Northern Beaches was the best game of the season so far... It was a tough game at times, a few penalty min were handed out to each side but in the end, we managed to stay ahead and won the game with 8-5.
We are now level with the NB Stingrays in the table by points, we're only behind because of our goal difference.
A good win after a tough game!
8th November 2008
After our last weekend against the Northern Beaches it's always nice to come back with a win. UNSW Ninjas put up a good fight and the game was intense up until the last second but we managed to snag the win.... this time!
One round - One win!
25th October 2008
It's always good to start the season with a win!
We were missing a few key players today in Matthew, Jaakko and Alan but we managed to pull it off and beat Bondi with 8-3. Player of the day must be Andrew with his 3 goals and one assist in one game - Well done!
NSW Elite Series 2008/2009
20th October 2008
The schedule for this years Elite Series is here and our first game will be this saturday at 11.45 against Bondi Raptors.
NBO 2008 Semi-Final Loss!
12th October 2008
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 9-2.
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!
The Draw for the NBO 2008 is here!!
7th October 2008
We will start by playing games against the Southern Swingers, Pirates and the Blue Bulls this Saturday with a 9am start. You can download the draw here.
Glebe Wins Winter Tournament 2008!!
10th September 2008
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!
The Winter Tournament is coming to an end...
3rd September 2008
12 games played and 12 games won....
What can we say, It's been a good tournament so far, we've won every single game and scored more goals than other teams combined, good job guys!
Only one more game left, the important final against Bondi Raptors.
The 2008 AFO champions have been decided!
16nd July 2008
It’s been a great tournament; we had a rocky start with a plane that was missed, we played some good games, had a shock loss against the Cobras in their only win and drew the finalists, Spartans FC. In the Quarter Final against the Northern Beaches we fought well in a very even match. In the end the Northern Beaches managed to score with 2min to go off the game and even though we had some close calls after we pulled our goalie we couldn’t quite catch up!
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.
5th Straight Win!
2nd July 2008
Glebe is on a roll in the Sydney Winter Competition 2008.
Five games and five victories so far. In the last two games we've managed to score more than 10 goals (almost 20 against Eels) per game and have now reached 50 goals!
Let's try and take this form with us down to Melbourne for the AFO 2008!
NB Stingrays win Salming Final!
17th June 2008
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.
Salming Grand Final
11th June 2008
We've got our grand final and play-off for third, which will both take place on June 14!
In a best-of-three semifinals series it was excepted that the two favorites Bondi and Glebe would prevail. However NB stingrays managed to turn their rather average season around qualifying for the grandfinal by beating Glebe 10:1 and 10:5 in two games. The other semi final saw Bondi needing to go over 3 games! SBT managed to upset the minor premiers and inflicting their first loss after having won something like 20 consequtive games (Michael please confirm)! In the end however the more experienced team managed to win and qualify for the grand final against NB Stingrays, which of course is the rematch of the Sydney Series grand final. Glebe will take on SBT in a play-off for third.
The trophy will be handed out to the winning team directly after the decisive game on court.

Salming Series Semi Time
13th May 2008
All 8 rounds have been played and despite the late comeback from Blue Bulls FC, the winner of this year's Salming Series will have to be fought out between the 4 Sydney teams. The forfeit round and deduction of 4 points was too much to make up unfortunately. However would they have turned up and lost both games that day, they would still have qualified, so I hope this is and stays a one-off forfeit. It's clearly not worth it as you can see.
Unbeaten through the entire series and with that minor premiers are Bondi Raptors, who will play 4th placed Sydney Blue Tongues in a best of 3 semi final. The other semi final will be between 2nd placed Glebe FBC and Northern Beaches Stingrays who finished third on the ladder.
Eligible to play semis:
Before we started we set the rules to be that players needed to play 4 games to be eligible to play, which was fair if there were 6 teams and we had 10 games. As we have only played 8 rounds, we felt that 4 games is quite high and reduced this to 2 games to be eligible to play. I have gone through the score sheets and based on that created the score sheets for all semis. All players that have played more than two games are featured on them and are therefore eligible to play the semis. Please check and let me know if you have any issues with the attached.
Disciplinary commission:
We looked at one incident in the NBS vs. SBT game and as a result have suspended Johan Sandahl of Northern Beaches for an intentional slash against the body of opposition player Glen Upton. He will therefore miss the first semi final game, but will be able to play the second or third game should there be a third game.
Semi-final rules:
- It is a best of three series to determine the finalists.
- Games will be played continuos time with the last 5minutes of the third period being effective time in all 3 games.
- Game 1&2 can result in draws, only game 3 will result in overtime and penalty shoot-out if needed (e.g. one draw and one win each or 3 draws).
- Goals scored/conceded will not affect the series being drawn (e.g Team 1 wins first game 10:1, but loses the second game 2:3 and draws the third 4:4 = drawn series and require overtime). If this is the case we will play a 5 minute golden goal overtime (effective time).
- Should there still be no result after 5 minute overtime, a penalty shoot-out will decide on the winner. For this each team will nominate 5 shooters. Should there be no result after 5 penalties, the same 5 shooters will go again, however a winner can be declared after every round (each team has one shot).
- The third game will not be played if the winner is decided after two games (e.g. 1 win and a draw or 2 wins).
The two winning teams will qualify for the grand final, which is best of 3 following the same rules. The two losing teams will play another 3 games series for a play off for the 3rd place.
Refs:
Currently trying to secure non-playing refs for the semis, however this proofs a little difficult. If we can't sort this it will be the case that one ref per team will be needed. Stay tuned.
