Epic Deploy State Cup Finals this Sunday
All roads lead to Valentine Sports Park on Sunday 16th of July as the 2017 Deploy State Cups takes shape in what promises to be one of the best tournaments yet.
That was the message echoed out to the 500 plus entries from Association clubs across NSW at the start of the 2017 grassroots seasons as the official State Cup Final matches have all been finalised for what will be a blockbuster Sunday, July 16th at Football NSW’s official headquarters.
Fifteen matches have been scheduled as thirty teams lock horns from the Grade 12s boys and girls competitions right up to the Over 35 men and All Age Women.
Four age groups have been named after former administrators, players and football advocates who have assisted in the development of our game in NSW.
The 12 Boys will be playing for the Frank Broughton Cup, the 12 Girls for the Cheryl Salisbury Cup, the 21 Men will be taking part in the Robertson Cup while the All Age Men will be playing for the Bill Cullinan Cup.
The Sutherland Shire and Football South Coast Associations lead the way as both will have five clubs representing their areas while in their first season as a member of the Football NSW family, Hills Football will have four teams representing their region.
There will also be club representatives from the Northern Suburbs (3), Canterbury (2), Eastern Suburbs (2), North West Sydney Women (2), St George (2), Blacktown (1), Central Coast (1), Macarthur (1), Manly (1) and Southern Districts (1) competing in this memorable tournament.
Northern Suburbs Football Association’s Northbridge FC deserves a special mention as they will have three teams participating with their 16 Girls, All Age Women and All Age Men ready to go on Finals day.
Sutherland Association’s Menai Hawks Under 21’s side coached by Johnny Diaz will also be looking at achieving a record of winning the Deploy State Cup three years in a row when his team take on Mt Pritchard for the Robertson Cup.
Football NSW Competitions Coordinator Kim Burge was looking forward to what always is a popular date in the Association calendar year upon year.
“The Deploy State Cup displays all the hard work and efforts displayed by each entrant that took part in what traditionally has been one of the toughest tournaments to participate in NSW.
“Congratulations to each participant and their club and Association on reaching the final, it will no doubt be a fantastic day for everyone involved as Football continues to thrive as the most participated sport played in NSW.
“I also would like to thank Deploy for its commitment in sponsoring what is one Football NSW’s most prestigious grassroots tournaments.”
