Masters of masters’ football

By Kirra Livingstone

A GROUP of BeeGees women masters’ players have won back-to-back titles while representing the Maroochydore Swans at the masters’ over 40s competition held recently.

The group played on October 14-16 against seven other sides at Buderim and Maroochydore, with teams travelling from Canberra to Fraser Coast to compete.

The over 40s women have been playing together as a team for 10 years now, which Beegees Masters player Katrina Bell said, has been a great experience.

“We now play in the over 40s and have won back-to-back years now in 2021 and now 2022,” she said.

“Most of the team still play either on the coast or in Brisbane… basically it’s just a bunch of ladies having a great time together and playing football.”

The Beerwah Glasshouse club praised the efforts of both the over 40s ladies, the over 30s women and over 35s men, which the men played for the Silver Foxes FC.

“Winners are grinners for our ladies who competed in the over 40s at this weekend’s masters’ comp,” they said.

“[We] love to see the passion and enjoyment still alive after so many years in the sport.”
