Playing on a Kaleen pitch dubbed ‘the Prairie’ the Belnorth Bison of Div 8 had its best ever finish this year bounding along as a herd to a final placing of 5th. Another impressive achievement for the team was that we were one of only two teams to beat the eventual Grand final winners Belconnen. Once again we were excitement machines scoring at a rate of 1.5 goals a game with Damien ‘Bolts’ Bolton our golden boot.

This year’s Under 12 Girls Division 1 team consisted of Imogen Andrews, Talia Backhouse, Rochelle Borgeaud, Emily Brayshaw, Nicky Jalocha, Theresa Kinnane, Ebonie Lazdovskis, Jaime Locke, Jessica Muirden, Holly Murney, Alex Paterson and Sarah Vavoulas.
The girls participated in a number of tournaments and carnivals over the season on top of their weekly club draw. They began the season with an amazing victory in the Lightning Tournament where they won the Under 12 Girls’ Trophy. They were undefeated in all their games, despite players participating with injuries and illness. It was a wonderful start to the 2008 season.

Hi Belnorthers,
Many of you may have noticed that during the production of the Year Book that many reports have not made their way into print and do fully understand the frustration and disappointment of those who took the time to write the reports and those who were the subject of the text.
Please know we are looking into the situation to determine a course of action and apologise wholeheartedly to yourselves and the children.
To ensure we have the best chance of ensuring we have the right equipment for you please register quickly so that we can cater for any extra numbers in time for the first week.

Hi Belnorthers,
As each of the various committee members and volunteers put together their account of the season it might be worthwhile having a read of one of the previous President's (and life members's) account of a season, this one taken from the 1990 Annual Report.
In reading it things will seem familiar as not much has changed in the world of football. We still deal with similar issues to those faced 18 years ago.
Enjoy!
Mike
"Have you had a good season?"
This is a question that we all seem to get asked around this time of the year. Most of us usually answer 'yes' great - but, did you really get the satisfaction and enjoyment from the season's soccer that you expected to get? If not - why? If you were in a team that was well placed into a division in which it had a competitive chance of winning its fair share of games, then you should have had a good season.

Hi Belnorthers,
On behalf of the Executive Committee I would like to thank all of the players and parent, coaches and managers for their continued commitment during the season just passed.
We would also like to thank those other volunteers such as the first aiders, fund raisers, referees, orange slicers, flag wavers, data checkers and anyone else who gave of their time to make the season a more enjoyable one for the players.
