Welcome to The Palm Beach Soccer Club Womens Page.

The season started well with 8 teams in the AFC Premier League however two teams have withdrawn from the competition, Gold Coast Knights and Griffith University.

The Palm Beach AFC Premier Women are presently on top of the ladder, however we do need a goal keeper to enable us to remain on top of the ladder for the remainder of the season.

The u11's are off to the Fred Stone Memorial Carnival at Nerang on the 18th July, good luck to all and remember to have fun. Sunday 18th July the AFC Premier Women are playing Mudgeeraba at 7pm following the AFC Premier Mens game against the Gold Coast Knights, this is our final game this season raising funds for breast cancer.

Presentation night for the young Girls u11 - u15's will be Monday 4th October , this year the theme is Italian, so ladies get out your Green, White and Red outfits and come and have a fun night. The evening will start at 6pm with presentation of trophies followed by dinner. The cost is free for the players. More information at a letter date.

Whilst on Presentation Nights, the AFC Premier Women, First and Second Open Women's Dinner will be held on Saturday 9th October, and we are going Hawaiian, that doesn't mean you can wear your bikinis. As the last two presentations have been smart dress, the Committee thought a little colour at the end of the season would make a pleasene change, no doubt you will find a floral shirt or skirt somewhere in the cupboard, perhaps a flower in the hair as well. Remember to bring your camera. This is still a smart casual evening. More information at a later date.

No doubt you have noticed on Saturday match days when the AFC Premier Men are playing that we have a new tent, and a new sandwich board advertising our sponsors. The sandwich board and the signs around the tent were donated by Troy and Phil Bremner, of Bremner Visual, Burleigh Heads. Our bread is still sponsored by Kylie and Nigel Halpin of Halpin's Bakery, 8th Ave Palm Beach and the onions are lovingly cut cut and donated by Jess and Tony from our very own Sharkies Restaurant. Many thanks to all of our Sponsors, if you know someone who can donate goodies for our BBQ please contact them, i would love a butcher to donate the meat as it is our most expensive item.
