Middle Park FC

💛💛💚💚⚽️️⚽️
This week we're shining the spotlight on our U10 Girls team!

The Middle Park U10 girls travelled the long trip down the peninsula to play Mount Eliza on an early Sunday morning. With just nine players and no substitutes, they faced a tough challenge from the outset. The girls showed plenty of determination and worked tirelessly throughout, but ultimately came up short in a hard-fought match. Despite the result, they can be proud of their effort and resilience — and they certainly earned their post-match ice creams!

Well done Parkers!!!

Middle Park Football Club has 427 players in the Juniors Program! This includes 31 teams with 15 Miniroos Teams, 12 Junior League Teams, and 4 Intra Club Teams.

😂 TAKING THE MICKEY #14 — WHAT A NIGHT! ❤️

A huge shout out to for another fantastic Taking the Mickey - and thank you to everyone who came along, laughed until their cheeks hurt and helped turn a great night out into something genuinely meaningful.

Middle Park FC is incredibly proud of our long standing partnership with TLC for Kids, bringing our community together through comedy while helping support sick children and their families.

A huge shout out to the comedians that donated their time - Arj Barker, Adam Rozenbachs, Ivan Aristeguieta, Mike MacLeish, Tor Snyder and Dave Thornton. And a huge shout out to Bob Franklin who made it happen - AGAIN!

And if you enjoyed the night, there are two more TLC initiatives worth knowing about:

🚑 THE AMBU-LUNCH
Coming up on Friday 9 October, the Ambu-Lunch raises vital funds for the TLC Ambulance Program, which helps children in palliative care and their families create precious moments beyond the hospital - from a day at the beach or zoo to, sometimes, one final trip home.

📱 TAP 2 DISTRACT
TLC has also developed a free distraction app for children, families and all ages, designed to help create moments of calm and comfort during stressful situations. It’s free, has no ads or in-app purchases, and can even be used offline after the initial download.

We love being part of the TLC for Kids story. ❤️

A few laughs can make a difference - and sometimes, so can a simple tap.
