SSFA policy for competition teams is that after 4 rounds of football, re-grading of competition teams is assessed. Teams that are either winning easily or struggling to compete in their grade are assessed for possible promotion/demotion. (Bearing in mind that for a regrade to be successfully achieved generally a pair of teams needs to be involved in a promotion/demotion switch between grades)

This process in turn means that the draw for round 5 cannot be issued until any possible regrading following round 4 is complete.

Thus the round 5 draw (assuming no further wash-outs) will not be available until as follows

For Saturday teams Round 5 being played Sat 11th May - draw available midweek of week commencing Mon 6th May

For Sunday teams Round 5 being played Sun 5th May - draw available midweek of week commencing Mon 29th Apr

Get yourself down to Seymour Shaw and cheer on our AA1's as they compete in the 3rd round of the FFA Cup.

It's their second time competing in the competition. Let's see how many we can get down there to get behind them.

And just like that summer soccer and the long days are over and here we are again for winter season 2019.

On behalf of the club management, welcome to all our return players, our new players and of course, our coaches, managers and supporters. Season 2019 will be big for the Menai Hawks, as we not only celebrate our 40th anniversary but we take to the field in our fantastic new playing strip. Our new strip has been well received and our modern design in the latest material is distinctly Hawks.

Our numbers are again shaping up to last season, thanks in part to our super popular Mini Hawks program and our 18 /19 Summer Soccer season. The Hawks now offers our sport year round in an enjoyable, safe, inclusive and well planned environment. As the season progresses, I’ll post a little more often using our web site and the extensive media platforms I’m so expert at (not! but I have a techspert).

Keep an eye out as we finalise our 40th Anniversary bash, get in early and lock in a table with your friends and team.

Before I go, I need to thank our major sponsor Club Central Menai and ask all our members and supporters to do the same. Club Central is an integral part of our community and is generous to our club both financially and in kind, so if you’re not a member drop in see the friendly staff and sign up as a member. That way you’re not only supporting the Hawks but a myriad of other worthy community groups.

GRADED Team List

Each week during the season Menai Hawks provides club referees for Mini-Roo games in the U6 - U11 age ranges as well as providing referees for older age games where no black and white referee has been provided by the Ref's Association

To become a club referee you need to be turning 13 during 2019 or older. Club referees are typically appointed to U6 and U7 games in their first year of refereeing and progress to older age groups once they have gained experience and developed their skills. The club pays all referees for their time.

Full training and a whistle is provided. We will use the upcoming Mini-Roo trial games on Sat 16th March as a practice ground for our new intake of referees prior to round 1 commencing on 23rd March

For those interested we will be holding a training and information evening on Wednesday 13th March in the upstairs meeting room at Buckle Reserve Clubhouse starting at 7pm.

Please reply to info@menaihawks.org.au to express your interest and book your spot on 13th March. Please indicate your child's name and which team they play for
