Are you looking to pass on your skills to a group of ladies who will hang on your every word, listen to your every instruction and carry them out to the best of their ability? Then look no further. Our dedicated team has a 98% attendance rate at every training session and being women, although we may not seem to be listening all the time, we are multi skilling talents, of course we are.
Having been together for a few years we know our strengths and weaknesses, but this year we have a few new members, and we need a new coach to mould us into the team we know we can be with a little guidance from an experienced master. We have fun, treat you and each other with respect and hope to win more games than we lose (and we like a beer at the end of a hard game).
So what are you waiting for – WE NEED YOU
Please send a photo with your application as we are a little bit choosy (but not much). It will also help if you have selective deafness.

It is with sadness that we advise members that Bill De La Garde has passed away after a long illness.
Bill was one of a number of residents involved in developing a number of initiatives in the young suburb of Bonnet Bay. When the soccer club was formed in 1982 he became BBFC’s 1st President and continued in that role for 1983 and 1984.
Bill’s sons Corey and Darren played in our first 2 grand final teams in 1982 which were both runners up and played for BBFC for 4 years in all. Bill’s funerla will be held on Friday 27 January 2012 at 12.30 at Woronora Crematorium (see Tuesday’s Leader for more details).
On behalf of all club members we pass on our sincere condolences to all Bill’s family members and our gratitude for his major contribution to starting the club we all enjoy so much.
BBFC’s 1st President Bill De La Garde at top right in blue jacket coached the 9Es who played in the club’s first grand final. Bill’s son Corey is holding the sign.
Refer to Club History on this site for more details from this era.

A big thanks to the ten or so guys from 35Fs who turned up today to level off the surrounds around the new cricket pitch at Prince Edward Park. There was also one guy from the 45Cs -would have been more but they were all visiting their doctors for a variety of ailments. Every BBFC player will benefit from the much improved conditions for training and playing.
Installation of the new all seasons cricket pitch was funded jointly by BBFC and Sutherland Shire Junior Cricket Association with support from Sutehrland Shire Council. It is hoped this mutually beneficial inititaive will pave the way for other similar installations at a number of other fields across the shire.
Volunteers are needed to join the watering roster over the next couple of months - info@bonnetbayfc.com .
There will be more chances for members to volunteer some time over the next few weeks so please help out so we can have everything in top shape for teh season opener.
