Unfortunately, we didn't win any of our 3 Grand Finals today BUT all 3 sides did our Club proud.  The 1st side to play today was Des's Under 11 girls. This side has a girl who hasn't turned 9 yet and several who are eligible to play 11's again next season. They've had a great run to make the GF and earned everyones respect today. They went down 5-1 but with the exception of a 10 min period, they were equal to Mudgeeraba in every way. Well done girls and well done Des.

Next up were the Under 12 Div 1 boys. They were up against there old foe in Runaway Bay. This was a good contest from the off and a physical encounter to put it mildly. Chances were at a premium and Bay made the most of the few chances that came their way. It finished up 2-0 to Bay, but again the boys can hold their heads up high. Well done to Russell and Shane for getting the team to the GF for the 2nd year in a row.

Our last match of the day was between our Under 13 Div 3 boys vs Broadbeach United. Coach Mark Mackney has gained a few grey hairs over the last 2 weeks. His side has had to play extra time twice and even a penalty shoot out to make the GF. He was very proud of his boys for making the GF and even more so today when his boys took the lead early in the 1st half. A long range speculator fooled the Broady keeper to make it 2 nil and we started to think this could be our day. Broady found a way back after a lucky break and were soon back level. Heads had dropped and we didn't have time to regroup and they had hit the front 3-2 on the stroke of half time. The 2nd half failed to deliver any more goals although we had a good shout for a dotty turned down to the disgust of the Southport faithful. Mark must be very proud of the lads efforts, not just today but throughout the whole season.

Sunday we have the Under 17 Girls playing Kingscliffe at 10.30 am so good luck to the girls.

Cheers
