IMPORTANT (Final) Update for the 2020 Season
Hello to all our GUFC Family,
I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone for keeping football going through season 2020.
It has been challenging in many ways, but through the amazing efforts of our Committee, Coaches, Managers, Parents and our players, Season 2020 was made possible. I sincerely hope everyone has made the most of this season, as at one stage, it certainly looked like we weren’t going to play at all.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their contribution in following the guidelines, as best as possible, ensuring the Safety of our Members throughout this COVID 19 pandemic.
As we are coming close to the final part of the season, we would normally announce presentation dates, to celebrate our players for the season. As this season is different, so will be the way we present our awards & trophies. Obviously, the safety of our members has to be considered, and as such, GUFC will not be holding Junior or Senior Presentation Days/Nights this season. Team coaches and managers will be contacted with regards to collection of end of season trophies & awards and the return of team kit bags.
I truly hope everyone understands, and again thank everyone for the support they have given the club this year.
I know that Football wasn’t a priority for some people this year, as many people faced different challenges in their lives. The fact we did get to play brought a smile to my face, even with the challenges we faced. As I have said before, people play football for different reasons, and to some, they needed the season to go ahead, just to break up the challenges they were facing in their own individual lives.
I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the season, makes the most of the last few games, and certainly enjoy the company & comradery of our football families.
Anthony Severino, GUFC President

GUFC History – The Beginning

Gymea Soccer Club commenced as Gymea Sports Club, which included soccer, rugby league, cricket, netball, athletics.  The first meeting for the Soccer Club was held in February 1960 with the elected officers being Cyril O’Neal as President, Ken Williams as Secretary and Bill Taylor as Treasurer. Seven teams were entered with the Sutherland Association.

Once the season commenced, the Committee ran into the problem that they had to provide transport as there were not many cars amongst the parents, but we had people that were willing to run the boys from one field to another, come back, pick up another, load and distribute them around the area right throughout the day.
