Barnstoneworth C vs Ourimbah Match Report

BUFC C running out of time

There comes a time when even the strongest, most enthusiastic and motivated football team must eventually come to terms with the brutal truth of a cosmically indifferent universe. When their team is decimated by injury and the capriciousness of fate; when their entire division is made up of teams that have descended from on high to toy with the minnows below; and when your team belatedly realises, with the crushing finality of a falling coffin lid, that instead of us waiting to play the whipping boys in the division, everyone else is thinking that about us.

Match Report for Barnstoneworth D South vs Avoca

It was a glorious day for a lunchtime match at Erina’s centre of academia versus the dreaded Avoca. They rocked up seemingly fitter and younger than last year, whilst we rocked up in Brown’s Cow’s fashion and with some trepidation as our talisman, big Dave, was out following an injury he received whilst playing for the Kings.

Match Report for Barnstoneworth North vs Barnstoneworth South

It was a game of 2 halves, The game of football was the winner – Hugh Jarse: a supporter narrative of the B South Vs B North Clash of the Titans.

Duffys Ground (Located in a run down rough area, do not travel in your car or wear nice clothes/watches – more atmosphere in a fish tank): I sat where Mark (former B Souths Manager) sat and it had a pungent smell of something very bitter. Perhaps a prelude to the game that was to unfold. Read more

2017 Season Launch Tournament

2017 BUFC Season Launch Tournament winners

The 2017 Season launch (indoor because of the recent monsoonal weather) tournament turned into a successful and enjoyable afternoon.

We had enough players for 4 teams of 7 or 8 (I can’t remember… Maybe it was both?) and the format was 10 min games, full court. The ref stamped his authority early on and probably made history when he brandished a yellow card to a bemused Read more
