Rosebud Soccer Club

Vale John Caldwell

It is with great sadness that Rosebud Soccer Club acknowledges the recent passing of club legend and Life Member, John Caldwell.

John arrived in Australia from Scotland in 1970 and quickly became an important part of the RSC community. Over more than three decades, he made an enormous contribution to the club as a player, coach and committee member.

He also ran the highly successful RSC Bingo throughout the 1970s and 1980s, dedicating countless hours to fundraising for the benefit of the club.

For John, Rosebud Soccer Club was always a family affair. His wife Patricia, a club legend in her own right who ran the canteen for many years, and their four sons, Ian, Craig, David and Glenn, all proudly wore the red and white.

John was a great character who brought warmth and happiness to the club. Rosebud Soccer Club was incredibly fortunate to have him as part of its history and community.

Our players recently observed a minute’s silence in John’s honour.

Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with Patricia, Ian, Craig, David, Glenn and the entire Caldwell family.

Rest in peace, John. You will always be remembered at Rosebud Soccer Club. ❤️🤍

Back at Olympic Park this Saturday for Round 15 as we host Kings Domain FC.

The last meeting away from home ended in defeats for both squads, with the Reserves going down 2-0 and the Seniors 3-1. This weekend is a chance to respond on our home deck and put in a performance worthy of the badge.

After a weekend away from league action for our club golf day, the boys are back on the road this Saturday as we travel to Edithvale Recreation Reserve to take on Chelsea FC.

Fresh off breaking our five-game winless run against Ashburton, the lads will be looking to build again and do the double over Chelsea, after winning the reverse fixture 2-1 at home earlier this season.

Reserves kick off at 1pm, followed by Seniors at 3pm.

Get down and support the boys on the road.

A perfect way to enjoy the bye weekend 🍻⛳️

A huge thank you to our major sponsor sab.brewery for their continued support of Rosebud Soccer Club.

The club enjoyed a brilliant Rosebud SC Golf Day at standrewsbeachgolf, followed by lunch, beers and a great afternoon just down the road at St Andrews Beach Brewery.

Well done to our overall winning team: Dunc, Sam and Colin.
A big congratulations as well to Moc, who took out Closest to the Pin on the 6th, and andrew_nabbout, who claimed Longest Drive on the 1st.

Days like these are what community sport is all about. Good people, good laughs, good food and a few well-earned beers together away from the pitch.

Thanks again to St Andrews Beach Brewery for helping make days like this possible for our club and community.
