Hi everyone,

Just a friendly reminder that if you still have any ROFC playing shirts, kits or club equipment, could you please return them today if possible.

We would really appreciate everyone having a quick check at home for any club items that may still need to be returned.

Thank you so much for your help and cooperation throughout the season.

In the lead up to the 2026 Presentation Day, we give a big shout out to our last Junior team sponsor for 2026.

A ๐‡๐”๐†๐„ thanks from all of us at ROFC to Aaron and the team at Tassie Render & Paint , who sponsored the Under 14 Bushrangers this season.

Here's the Bushranger's boys after one of their recent Saturday games, in the very smart new tops sponsored by Tassie Render & Paint .

Thank you to Tassie Render & Paint and indeed all of our sponsors in 2026; the Bushrangers boys were pretty pleased with their new shirts after a few games of squeezing in to their old shirts.

We hope everyone who competed in the Launceston Tournament last week have recovered well, as now our attention turns to the final major juniors event of the year - Presentation Day (this Sunday 27th - details in the flyer posted previously).

The finalรฉ to the presentations for many years has been the coaches vs the U16s game.

This year, the U16s look to have the upper hand with a strong squad (on paper) and from winning 2025โ€™s respective game.

If you would like to play for either squad (and are eligible of course) please comment below and bring your match clothing on Sunday. Itโ€™s a โ€˜good-fun-not-too-seriousโ€™ kind of game, mostly ๐Ÿ˜

Squads are in and can do with a few more players each (and if weโ€™ve missed you somewhere - our apologies but please come along):

Riverside Olympic Football Club would like to sincerely thank our outgoing Head Coach Helder Dos Santos Silva for four years of service, dedication and commitment to our club.

From the day Helder arrived at Riverside, his passion for this club, our players and our football program has been clear for all to see. His commitment to creating a positive environment, raising standards and developing those around him has made a lasting impact on our players, coaches and members.

The past four years have seen consistent growth within our NPL program, with Helder playing a key role in raising the standard both on and off the pitch. His tenure has included overseeing the most successful NPL season in the clubโ€™s history, while also contributing significantly to the development and progression of our players.

Beyond the results, Helder has helped establish a strong foundation for the future of Riverside Olympic Football Club, leaving a lasting legacy on our senior and junior programs and the people within them.

We would also like to extend our thanks to Helderโ€™s family, Sonia, Goncalo and Gabrielle for the time, sacrifice and commitment they have given to Riverside over the past four years.

We wish Helder and his family every success in their future endeavours and thank them for everything they have contributed to our club. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™

The Riverside Olympic Football Club Board has made the decision that the Club will not participate in the statewide league in 2027.

This decision has not been made lightly. After careful consideration, the Board believes this is the right step to ensure the long-term strength, sustainability, and success of our Club.

2027 will mark the beginning of a rebuild phase for Riverside Olympic, an opportunity to strengthen our foundations, focussing on being a strong, sustainable community football club.

Our priority will be our people, our culture, our junior and senior player pathways, including the continued development of our Academy, our volunteers, and our connection with Riverside and the wider Launceston community. We want Riverside Olympic to be a Club where players want to play, families feel connected, volunteers feel valued and people are proud to belong.

Stepping away from statewide competition will allow us to focus our resources and energy on rebuilding from within and creating a Club that can thrive for many years to come.

Our focus is on ensuring Riverside Olympic continues to provide a place for our young people to develop their football ability, while supporting their wellbeing, confidence, and sense of belonging, and fostering a lifelong love of the game.

Riverside Olympic has a proud history, and this decision is about ensuring it also has a strong future.

There are a couple more junior team sponsors we would like to thank and this week our thanks are to Steph & Sam at Healthy Sole Podiatry.

Steph & Sam said they wanted to sponsor a girl's team and decided that they would like to sponsor our Under 7 Girls Lightning โšก๏ธ team.

The Lightning girls are picture here with Sam and (super) coach Wayne, shortly after recieving their new shirts and they look pretty awesome!

A ๐“—๐“ค๐“–๐“” thanks from all of ROFC and the Lightning team to Steph, Sam and Healthy Sole Podiatry for sponsoring one of our many awesome girl's teams!
