Andrews Farm Soccer Club
Andrews Farm Junior Soccer Club are looking into fielding a seniors team/teams for the 2013 season. They need expressions of interest from players so they can decide if this idea is possible. If you are interested in playing for an up and coming club please post a comment or send me a PM so the information can be passed on to the relevant people.
Thanks
Thanks

Re: Andrews Farm Soccer Club
So if it wasn't bad enough that those geniuses from e&d decided to sanction the creation of another club in an area where there are plenty and few grounds to go around you now want to have another senior club in an area that already has plenty.....?

Re: Andrews Farm Soccer Club
relax people its an option, not a certainty. Its something thats being looked into, it sure wont be hastily thrown together and it wont happen if there isnt enough interested players.
Re: Andrews Farm Soccer Club
I reckon they have been playing at the old Eliz Fields ground opposite the Karriwarra. Plenty of pitch space there, room for 3 large pitches and 3 or 4 junior pitches. The way Andy's Farm is growing they will definitely have the population and its expanding over the next couple of years.....
There is no I in team, but there is a u in suck...
Re: Andrews Farm Soccer Club
This is exactly why they are looking into the option. Its not just a growing area, but one with a large african population aswell. My neighbours (one both sides) are african families and their kids are ALWAYS out on the street kicking the ball around and wearing their AFJSC shirts. The day i moved in here, all the kids wanted to do was talk about football. The club is very well placed to take advantage of the growth in the area.legga wrote:I reckon they have been playing at the old Eliz Fields ground opposite the Karriwarra.

Re: Andrews Farm Soccer Club
Same as me, I live in Munno para west and my neighbors are african, always kicking a ball on the street, I even gave the wee lad a Celtic strip that doesn't fit me anymore. Andrews farm will grow no doubt, just a shame that the fields weren't around for it, no disrespect to afjscandyb wrote:This is exactly why they are looking into the option.

Re: Andrews Farm Soccer Club
Getting a bit of interest which is great 16 names on the list of possible players already.... We're well aware there is still 6months till next season starts but its a good sign that there is interest in the area
Re: Andrews Farm Soccer Club
Andrews Farm ... that's up Gawler way, isn't it? (My local geography is worse than an Apple-Made Map App!!)
Anyway - where ever it is - good luck with your expansion. We have Junior and Senior teams (the seniors came long after the juniors) so as long as you're doing the accounting to make sure costs are shared out fairly evenly (it's more expensive to run a senior than a junior team, is our experience) then it'll be a great enhancement to your club.
We've been at it for five seasons and are starting to get a decent trickle of ex-U16s joining the senior side of the club ... the main focus when the join up was proposed ... which is great to see
Best of luck, hope it goes well for your club

Re: Andrews Farm Soccer Club
We're up to 35 possible players on our list and the committee has voted to nominate a team/teams into the saasl next season. In the process of crossing some t's and dotting some i's but things are moving along relatively smoothly at this point
Re: Andrews Farm Soccer Club
Whats the go Andy will you utilise the old fields clubrooms at Kalara reserve?
There is no I in team, but there is a u in suck...
Re: Andrews Farm Soccer Club
Correct mate... the juniors club has been there for four seasons now. apparently it was set up by the EDSA initially and then handed over to the committee to run. the club colours are suppose to represent some former clubs from the area that no longer exist..legga wrote:Whats the go Andy will you utilise the old fields clubrooms at Kalara reserve?

All the best to the new club when it gets up, dont forget to get your name into the playford cup hat as well . One would also have to guess there is a pretty good sponsorship deal over at the karri across the rd waiting to be tapped into..

Re: Andrews Farm Soccer Club
The black and white strips are the old Elizabeth West colours I believe. Also APAC used to play in black and white as well.andyb wrote:Correct mate... the juniors club has been there for four seasons now. apparently it was set up by the EDSA initially and then handed over to the committee to run. the club colours are suppose to represent some former clubs from the area that no longer exist..legga wrote:Whats the go Andy will you utilise the old fields clubrooms at Kalara reserve?
Re: Andrews Farm Soccer Club

Re: Andrews Farm Soccer Club
Smithfield east had a team in this area as well years ago, old man howlett used to coach them and his lad ritchie played for them, I reckon they were red and white stripes..maybe. I remember the South played out of ridley rd at one stage as well just white with maroon and be done....
