Suburban Football Club

Suburban FC would like to extend congratulations to all of their Tier I teams from this inaugural season. Of the 7 teams that Suburban FC fielded 6 of them qualified for their respective league/provincial championship. This is the highest percentage of teams attending league/provincial championships or all the clubs in NS.

The U-14 Development programs, in their first year of existence, proved to be a great success for the club. Not only did it allow our region to provide more players with an opportunity to play soccer at the top level in NS and develop, the players also competed well and got quality results on the pitch. The U-14 Development Boys team placed 3rd in their league championship while the U-14 Development girls team placed 2nd.

The U-14 Tier I programs both proved to have good seasons with the boys winning the league and qualifying first for provincials and the girls finishing 3rd in the league. This past weekend the girls did not get the bounces they needed and after two hard fought games came out of provincials with a 4th place finish. The boys competed hard, representing their new club with pride, and came out of the weekend as provincial champions! The first Suburban FC team to win a provincial title and head to club nationals.

The U-16 Girls team had a great season as well, finishing second in the league and playing some great football along the way. The girls won their first game of the weekend with some great attacking football but unfortunately did not get the bounces in the final on Sunday which went into extra time. A hard fought loss for the girls but still a season they should be proud of.

The U-18 Boys team finished the season second in the league as well. After a difficult first game the boys bounced back and claimed the bronze against the host team who had also been upset in their first game of the weekend. The success of the 18 boys program is great to see as these players will, in the near future, be looking to compliment the strong group of Senior Men Suburban FC currently has.

The development of these teams over the course of the season is a credit to all of the hard work put in by the coaches, players, and parents of Suburban FC and we look forward to fielding many more successful teams in the coming seasons.

The Suburban Regional Training Centre is pleased to accept Applications for the RTC Trainer positions for this upcoming winter program. The Suburban Regional Training Centre is comprised of promising young (U-10 and U-12 aged) players from within the region and is a great opportunity for some of the older youth players in the region to get involved in coaching.

If anyone has any questions about the RTC or the coaching development opportunities please contact Matt Blair.

Here’s a great shot of the ladies of Suburban FC following last night’s televised Senior Women’s game against Dunbrack. The senior team played a great game surrendering only one goal to a very strong Dunbrack side. It was great to see all the club support for the team at the game.

Today was an exciting day for soccer fans around the world. The Spanish and the Dutch took the pitch to decide who would be crowned the World Champions following a month of  World Cup competition. Over 110 “Suburbanites” with their crazy hats, drums and vuvuzelas descended on Boston Pizza today to watch the world’s greatest game. After 120 minutes of exciting, card-filled play the Spanish sealed the deal with a spectacular goal in the 116th minutes from midfielder Andres Iniesta. There was lots of noise, cheering and a few tears at the end for the Dutch fans. A great time was had by all.

Congratulations to all the Suburban FC Girls who participated in the annual Gunn Baldursson Soccer Tournament this weekend. The U14 girls Tier 1 played to a 7-1 win over the Highland Knights to take the gold medal earlier today. The   U16 girls also brought home the gold with a 1 nil win over Valley United. Great job girls!

Everyone is invited to come out and watch the game on the big screen at Boston Pizza in Bayers Lake Park.
