December 7th
A fiery night for the 2008 Bangalow Hotel Summer Sixes Semi finals. There was no full moon but there was definitely something weird in the air with a number of fights and abuse flowing. The result of this has seen one player suspended for life and another for three weeks. Two other players received one week bans for dissent towards referees. Actions such as this are not within the spirit of Summer Sixes itself and the game of football. This is a summer social competition in Bangalow NSW, not the FA cup. Pull your heads in.
All grand finals are on at 7:30pm.
Men Div One - Seattle Sharks v Pirates
Womens Div One - Bite Me v Razorbacks
Mens Div Two - 2481 v Debt Collectors
Womens Div Two - Kinky Boots v Spos United
Mens Div Three - Loose Cannons v Bullfrogs
Womens Div Three - Clunes Comets v Knockeroos
Mens Div Four - Zepplins v Where's Fourthies
Please note all other games are 2 x 15 minute halves. That means the 1st game is at 6pm, the 2nd at 6:45pm and the grand finals at 7:30pm. Grand final games are the full 25 min halves. The canteen will be closed at 7:45pm. Presentations will be held at the Bangalow Hotel at 8:30pm. All are welcome.
The semi final games were a treat. In Mens Div One despite the occasional push, shove, punch, sin bin, send off, the quality of play was excellent. Seattle Sharks overcame last years champions Byron Bay Noodle box 6 - 0 whilst Pirates def 70% Cocoa 6 - 5 in overtime setting up a rematch of the prelim final that saw a drop off. Can Pup, Bikkie and Co sneak through the defence of HH and RC again and this time cause an upset? Or will the partnership of the Brisbane Strikers/Palm Beach/Bluedogs combination manage to force the Pirates to walk the plank into the opening jaws of the Sharks (boom boom) ?
In the Womens Div One it is Razorbacks v Bite me. Another rematch. In Round 2 Razorbacks defeated Bite Me 6 - 2 to claim top spot in their pool. Razorbacks Sophie Towner and Amanda Brett (1st and 3rd in sharpshooters respectively) have scored 58 goals between them and deserve favouritism. Bite Me however have the experience of former players of the year Chloe Dunsmore and Rose Argent. Both have not yet displayed their usual dominance over teams and it could be this game where they take control.
Congratulations to Zepplins for making the Div 4 final. Last year the team struggled to be competitive in their first season. This year they have practised hard in the lead up to the comp and their efforts have paid off with a chance to bring home the goods.
Finally the kids are to have their usual treat from the management of Summer 6s with a jumping castle and Santa returning despite being mauled last year. The BBQ boys are treating all teams with free sausage sangas, pick up your tickets from the canteen.
Good Luck to all teams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some interesting results last night, a couple of upsets and a few overtimes resulting in the drop off rule coming into play. Match of the round was definitely The Pirates v Seattle Sharks. The last comment on the website about the pirates seemed to push them into action with Joel 'Pup' Rudgley shimmying and carving up the Sharks in particular Hamish Haggerty and Robert Cooper for his first goal. Despite the show, Seattle Sharks came from behind twice and managed to score a golden goal in overtime. Probably the best quality game this competition has seen since it's inception.
In other news, apologies to Martin Chatterton for saying he scored 12 goals last week, it was actually 13. After exhaustive investigation of game footage (special thanks to Fox Sports, ESPN and Setanta), it was found that Chatterton did in fact cherry pick 13 goals. This feat along with a bag of 5 against Ratpack in the 1/4 final sees Chatterton take the lead of the Mens Sharpshooters with 26 goals, 3 over Tom Ruhl who picked up a brace over Seattle Sharks.
In the women the cream rose to the top with Byron Bay Noodle Box, Bite Me and Razorbacks all registering big scores against their opponents in Div 1. The young lasses from Roar have also continued their build up towards the Div 2 finals with a 3 - 2 win over Misfits.
Matches of the week next week are of course in Division One. Seattle Sharks v Byron Bay Noodle Box Men and Razorbacks v Byron Bay Noodle Box Women.
Please note that even if you lose, all teams still play all the way through the competition. The Bangalow Hotel Summer Sixes is not just about the glory, we care about keeping those beerguts (or goonguts) small prior to the Xmas binge.
Good luck next week.

Bribes and corruption was the talk of the aftermath of round 5 game between The Exiles and the Bullfrogs. One certain Bullfrogs player came under scrutiny for missing over 10 shots at goal including a dottie and it was thought that he could have been paid off to ensure those who bet on the game would receive a handsome return. After thorough investigation it was deemed that the player in question could quite easily miss that many and investigators were even surprised he was in a postion to shoot that many. Inspector Barnett commented on behalf of Taskforce Sixes "All charges relating to this matter is now closed. The player in question does not have the skill to miss goals on purpose. The matter is now closed.
In other news the race for sharp shooter in the women is hotting up. Razorbacks Sophie Towner and Byron Bay Noodle Box Abigail Allardyce are neck and neck on 21 goals each. In the mens Tom Ruhl has opened up a 5 goal buffer against The Magical Liopluredons Sam Owens and John Bradbury.
Two players who scorched the scorecards last round were Sophie Butler (7 goals - Pink Flamingos) and Nick Enter (6 goals - Machas Boyz).
The matches of the round were a bit of an each way bet. A tight tussle between previously undefeated Miserable Gits and Debt Collector$. Debt Collector$ collected the points through goals to their young whippersnappers Oli Kohlenberg and Gavin Tinning edging out the 'Gits 2 - 1. Flight Centre continued their undefeated run smashing Karma 5 - 1 with Dani Hoskin bagging a hatrick.
There is only one game of the week and that is Seattle Sharks who finally were scored against last week taking on another young gun side in Ratpack (6pm Field 5). Expect plenty of petty whinging and skirt pulling.
We are seeking photos to place on the website. If you have any send them through to scottkrueger@yahoo.com. That is photos of summer6s competition not of yourselves in weird poses or seeking that special someone.
Finally thank you to those teams who took the goals off after the 8 o'clock games. Very much appreciated.
October 31st
The perfect conditions in Bangalow made the football flow during round 4 of the 2008 Bangalow Hotel Summer Sixes Competition. Congratulations to Roar who had their first win of the season in the womens match of the round with a 8 - 1 win over the Yummy Mummys. the mens lived up to a corker with a 3 all draw between Ratpack and Menace 2 Sobriety.
There were plenty of goals on offer with Abagail Alardyce (Byron Bay Noodle Box Women) smashing in 7 goals against the Knockeroos whilst Mia Frappell (Karma), Christy Hopley (Byron Bay Noodle Box Women) and Sophie Towner (The Razorbacks) all netting 6 goals a piece. Sam Owens and John Bradbury from The Magical Liopluredons both rattled the back net 5 times each during their 15 - 3 demolition of Chefs FC.
Another delicacy is on offer with the BBQ boys selling Brunch Bars for that little bit of extra energy before the game.
For those that come on Tuesday night to practice, please note the goals are being locked up as it is a Council requirement. Apologies but it is beyond our control and as Council allow us use of the fields we have to abide by their rules.
Matches of the round - Miserable Gits v The Debt Collector$ and Karma v Flight Centre Gals.
We will have a few going south for the Melbourne Cup and thus missing Round 5. As Summer 6's has sponsored Race 4 on Cup Day. Tip for the Melbourne Cup. Zipping - put $500 on the nose. Tip for Summer 6's - Try the kebabs at the canteen.
October 24th
A interesting night of football with 9 teams failing to bother the scorers. Some big wins with the Seattle Sharks wiping the floor clean against the Bay City Brawlers 14 - 0. Joel Rudgley (Pirates) and Martin Chatterton (Byron Bay Noodle Box Men) must have been cherry picking with 5 goals respectively.
Thanks to Fertile FC who assisted in bringing the goals off the field. We have also had a couple of teams who are playing unregistered players please note that if caught your team will face a loss of points for that game. A second infringement will result in the team being suspended from the finals matches.
A few accidents have occurred over the past couple of weeks with a broken ankle and arm. Please note our insurance page as we cover public liability insurance and limited personal insurance. We advise you take out your own private health insurance in the case of an unfortunate accident whilst playing in Summer Sixes.
Matches of the round Roar v Yummy Mummys and Ratpack v Menace 2 Sobriety.
Thanks to our major sponsor the Bangalow Hotel we are providing a $50 hotel voucher to a womens team and 10 beers to a mens team each week. Congratulations to Pink Flamingos and Myocardial Infarcts who were our first weekly winners.
The BBQ boys (and this time had some female talent to assist) have stepped it up again. The Chocolate and Macadamia Cake is on sale. Not only have they introduced the kebabs and rissoles, those with a sweet tooth can sample a BBQ boys chocolate delicacy.
October 17th
Just like the Socceroos the previous night, the finely tuned athletes who participate in the 2008 Bangalow Hotel Summer 6s took to the Suncorp Stadium like cauldron of the Bangalow Sports Fields to contest their individual quest for one of footballs greatest achievements - the chance to become a Summer 6s Champion.
Some tight battles have commenced with our first draws of the competition in both the mens and womens whilst there was as usual the odd blow out.
Tom Ruhl has taken a 4 goal lead in the Mens Sharp Shooters already whilst current womens champion Rose Argent is starting slowly coming in at 76th on the ladder at present.
Once again can players and spectators please ensure they pick their rubbish up before leaving.
Please note that on tuesday night there are some players using the 6 a side goals for practice matches. Whilst we are happy for this to continue, the goals must be placed back off the fields as the fields are mowed every week. Failure to do so will result in the goals being locked up and not able to be used.
Match of Round Three - 8pm Field 8 Bite Me v The Razorbacks - top of the table. Also expect some blowouts - The Magical Liopleurodens are taking on Festa FC and Seattle Sharks are up against Bay City Brawlers - Ouch!
October 10th
Did you feel it? The chills down the spine, hairs raised on the back of the neck as you saw the light glow and the fields teeming with people wanting to kick a leather ball into the back of a net. The 2008 Bangalow Hotel Summer 6s Competitions first round saw 24 games, 1 forfeit, 180 goals and 8 million sausage sandwiches consumed.
Intrepid Reporter Sonia Krueger reports that not only is there classy footwark from the players but also the team strips have stepped up a level. Even the refs are looking professional.
Like all first weeks there are a few things team must take into account.
1. All teams are to pick up their matchcards, fill out in full including first names and give to the ref prior to their match.
2. Managers must ensure all players on their team must have the same team shirt and different numbers. All players must wear shinpads ands football boots.
3. We have had a couple of issues with some players consuming alcohol prior to and during games. Please note referees have been advised that any person suspected of playing whilst under the influence of alcohol or other prohibitive substances are not allowed to take the field. The players names and numbers will be noted and if a second incident occurs, the player/s will be suspended for the rest of the competition. This practice is not acceptable.
4. Rubbish, Rubbish, Rubbish - Please place your rubbish in the bins provided. If you are not near one, please take your rubbish up to the bins near the canteen. Whilst we are happy to run a football competition for your enjoyment, we are not happy to pick up all the rubbish that is left behind.
5. And the final request is that if you are the last game, please try and assist the volunteers by pulling a goal off the field, many hands make light work.
Don't forget to check out the results, league tables and sharpshooter pages. Look up the Summer 6s group on Facebook, you can chat, leave meddages, tell us what you really think.
If you have any queries email scottkrueger@yahoo.com
See you next week
