MID Coast FC made the local area proud on the weekend of 13 September, with four out of eight youth teams appearing in grand finals in Newcastle.
The high-performance youth program competes in the Northern NSW Premier Youth League competition in Newcastle.
It was a day of mixed results for the representative players.
The Under-14 Boys were victorious against New Lambton FC 1–0, with six members of the title-winning side attending MacKillop College in Port Macquarie.
The Under-16 Boys also tasted success, edging past Charlestown Azzurri 7–6 on penalties after the game finished 0–0 at the end of extra time.
The Under-17 Girls unfortunately had to endure the heartbreak of a penalty shootout loss, going down 7–6 on penalties after the two sides couldn’t be separated, with the full-time score locked at 3–3.
The Under-13 Boys were also unlucky, going down 1–0 to New Lambton FC.
Overall, it was a successful campaign for Mid Coast FC, who will be looking to continue to build on their success in 2026.
