It’s a wrap for the weekend in Coolum for the Reds.
Firstly a thank you to our friends at Coolum Beach Walking Football especially Tony Innes & Dominique Massoni for putting on a great event.
Thank you to the Tournament Gaffer Paul Langenberg for organising the team. A big thank you to Diana Reeves for making the trek over from the West. We always appreciate the effort. Also thanks to Neil Butland for battling on with his sore knee and taking the whole tournament in goals (and doing a great job)! Emilio Raglione for still making the trip up whilst injured to be supporter #1 and welcome to @~Mike Capstick it was great having you play!
Results wise, even though we didn’t come home with any silverware as we did in the 2024 Coolum event, this years results were more impressive as we qualified for the Cup Semi finals, therefore finishing in 3rd position of the 8 social mixed teams.
Our results were :
0-1 Loss
2-0 Win
1-0 Win
Semi Final 0-0 (Lost Penalties)
3rd place playoff 0-0 (Won Penalties).
Great effort Reds, not only on the pitch but also an enjoyable social time with a brewery trip on Friday & team dinner Saturday night. I’m sure we’ll be back at Coolum in August 2026.
Next up will be the October Nudgee FQ event.
Rabs.
