If you have concerns about the availability of Bennett Park due
to inclement weather, you can always check the Canterbury Council Hotline on: 9718 7666 Remember that the ground is not to be used for either training or any games if Canterbury Council has closed the ground.
When checking with the Canterbury Council Wet Weather line and it mentions parks are closed please do not presume your game has been cancelled. The Canterbury Districts Football Association (CDSFA) is borded by several councils. We implore you check with your Coach & Manager (who will be notified by our Clubs Secretary) prior to the weekend game when we have had inclement weather
If Bennett Park is closed, we will always endeavour to let you know ASAP through our web site and email.

We draw your attention to Rule 5.2.10, in particular the following:
“.... Where a player is eligible and wishes to player for a higher team under this Rule, the player must apply for and obtain his/her new ID card prior to taking the field in that finals match. ......”
This section was added to the Rules after last season. Any person that plays in any final MUST have an ID card for that team. Remember you can only play in one finals division.
Should a Club require a new ID card to be produced for a particular player:
A player that presents an ID card stating other than the age/division of the finals game they are about to play in will not be permitted to play. Should this player still play and is later found out to have played said player will be deemed ineligible and the game will be forfeited by the offending team. Whilst referees check cards prior to the game ultimately it is the CLUBS/TEAMS RESPONSIBILITY to ensure their players are playing in accordance with the rules of this competition.
The Association is receiving information at various levels of persons using tobacco products within the technical area. I will remind all of the following that was issued by FNSW in August 2004:
In addition to this there are also local council guidelines which much be adhered to on various grounds.
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY – REFEREE’S WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO REMOVE ANY OFFENDER OF THE ABOVE FROM THE TECHNICAL AREA. SHOULD A TEAM OFFICIAL BE REMOVED FROM THE TECHNICAL AREA THEY ARE TO HAVE THEIR ID CARD TAKEN BY THE REFEREE AND WILL INCUR THE MADATORY 1-MATCH SUSPENSION BY THE ASSOCIATION AS A MINIMUM PENALTY. ADDITIONAL SANCTIONS/PENALTIES MAY BE IMPOSED. Any team official found to be in the technical area while under suspension will be stood down until further notice and the Club may be fined up to $250.00.
Attached is a schedule of all games to be played.
Please check carefully to ensure that no games are missing.
Attention All,
We will have the full use of Bennett Park from the weekend of 26th and 27TH June. Training on fields 1 and 2 will be accessible after that weekend. To all Competition Teams we kindly ask that you try and limit your training off the fields where possible and especially out of the Goal-Mouths. Please contact John Mamatsi for further information.

Issue 9 of The Striker Out NOW!!!
...across all grades and ages we’d greatly appreciate all teams having a match report submitted. It takes just a few minutes and is enjoyed by most players and parents. With so many teams trying so hard to break into a winning run and others overcoming all sorts of difficulties, many people read all the match reports. Keep them coming and if you feel it appropriate to share the workload around, that’s ok, but we do ask that this be organised through your manager.
CAN’T FIND YOUR TEAMS MATCH REPORT LISTED IN THE FOLLOWING Striker?
Then refer to your teams coach or manager, chances are that they haven’t submitted one yet. It’s very simple to do... go to our home page, click on “Match report”... and fill in the blanks!!
We are currently seeking volunteers to help out with various tasks for the club during 2010. It is sometimes easy to neglect how much work is required to keep a successful club of this size running smoothly throughout the season. We ask that anyone that considers themselves able to help out in any capacity no matter how insignificant it may seem, please contact us.
Even the smallest amount of assistance is greatly appreciated and contributes significantly to the overall operation and success of Roselands FC
Congratulations and well done to all those people who have taken on the various roles in 2010 to make sure YOUR club continues to grow and prosper. As you can see, there are a number of roles still vacant after our AGM in 2009. These are important roles which need someone to take on, make it their own, and have a big say in how YOUR club runs. Please consider nominating for one of these vacant roles. Please contact Imad Alameddine or Maria Gissing if you are interested or want to know more. You may even enjoy yourself!!

can be found by browsing through the Documents Link on the left and above menu bar.

Parents!! please note as the season progresses we will progressively have earlier twilight times at Bennett Park during training. With less light, visibility is greatly reduced, and the carpark is full of children who may not always behave safely and predictably.Please slow down to accommodate these safety concerns, and watch out, kids about! Being on-time for training (or leaving quickly afterwards) is not important enough to justify risking our childrens' lives.
