From the Editor

Our last Grand Final match for 2013 wrapped up just moments ago as we cap off another season of football - not counting the forthcoming Champion of Champions and the Knockout Cup, of course.

It’s been great to watch the matches across the past two weekends and there were some nail biting fixtures.

Congratulations to everyone who were crowned champions this year. Now, what everyone’s been waiting to see, the list of winners….

FROM THE ESFA STAFF & Board

Every week we see people giving up their time to support football on the park; from Club administrators to managers, parents, spectators and our Match Officials.

We would like to say thank you to all the volunteers who we’ve worked with throughout the season. Your hard work allows grassroots football to flourish in the Eastern Suburbs.

We hope you enjoy the off-season!

Knockout Cup in September

The ESFA Knockout Cup will be wrapping up this month with the Semi Finals and Final still to be played.

The draw leaves the possibility for a repeat of last year's Final, which saw Phoenix defeat Coogee United PL 5 - 2.

The Semi Final fixtures are as follows:

• Waverley Old Boys PL v Phoenix PL
• Coogee United PL v Coogee United AA1

Thanks to our Sponsors

All of us at ESFA thank our sponsors for their continued support of football in the Eastern Suburbs.

We particularly would like to thank Jazzright Production Services and Grace Self Storage for contributing to the event that was our Grand Finals.

Jazzright Product Services once again made the Grand Finals a spectacle, providing the staging, food vendors, PA system, fog effects and more. They continue to show their event production expertise and have been a proud sponsor of our Skills Acquisition Program.

The unique storage shells provided by Grace Self Storage allowed us to access all of our football gear when we needed it at Heffron Park.  Their self storage solution is accessible, convenient and cost effective.
