💚🖤Bobcats Women's - Oceania Cup 2026🖤💚
🔉 Our Maclean Bobcats women’s teams travelled to Alstonville on Saturday and Sunday for the annual Oceania Cup. The Bobcats Nominated teams in the Division A (top competitive division) and the Over 35’s Social competitions.
⚽️ Never shy of a challenge and with only half of their NCF Divison 2-North Women's Premiership winning team available, the Bobcats recruited players from opposition teams Coutts and Grafton Sirens as well as some legacy players, Navah Crofton and Zahli Carmichael to come together and take on Division A teams from Coffs Harbour to the Gold Coast and surrounds.
✨️ The Bobcats had a mixture of results, some of which were a win against the local Alstonville team 4-1 and also narrowly missing out on points against a young Coffs Academy team by only 1 goal. Sunday was a different story for the Bobcats though, with Crofton, who was undoubtedly the standout for the tournament absent due to her training commitments and day games clearly an issue, the heat took its toll against quality teams such as Palm Beach.
🏆 At the completion of normal rounds the Bobcats finished 3rd on the ladder and the last game of the tournament was the 3rd place playoff. The Bobcats had enough left in the tank to take the win 3-0 rounding out a successful 2026 season for coach Jeffreys.
🎉 Our over 35’s 6 aside team, a mixture of experienced players and first timers had a fun weekend in a relaxed social tournament.
👍 A great weekend for both our women’s teams who are already discussing next years tournament.
💚 Thanks to all of our players for their commitment to making this tournament a competitive but fun weekend, to Alstonville Football Club for a standout tournament and our women’s teams sponsors Maclean Bowling Club, The Bake House Yamba and Poolwerx Grafton.
