WELCOME
Our website provides a single location for our club information. Team details, merchandise, memberships, social calendar, volunteer support and the latest news & social posts. Over the coming weeks more detail will be added as we progress to the start of the season and any feedback on how to improve the site is welcome.
Something that all great clubs have, is a common understanding of what they stand for and what makes them stand out from the competition, both on and off the field. In 2022, your QFNC Committee will be planning out the next few years, to help further strengthen our club and make us the best we can be for everyone. To kick that process off, we’ll be inviting members to help identify our Club Values, to give us a strong foundation for that planning.
We want to hear from all members; parents, players, volunteers and supporters.
Watch this space for more info on how you can become involved.

🐟 The QFNC Committee is pleased to announce the appointment of club stalwart, Mat Toohey as our Senior Reserves coach for season 2022. Mat brings great experience as a club player to the position and the senior coaching team, led by Rory Nicol, look forward to working with him to develop our young players in preparation for senior football in the years to come.
🏉 Mat is a community minded person who is deeply involved in community sport. He is the current President of the Queenscliff Cricket Club and has been a Junior football coach with QFNC and Auskick Coordinator in recent years. He also brings experience at senior level having been the head senior coach at Belmont Lions Football Club in 2009-10. Mat is a determined competitor and we look forward to him helping to develop that spirit among the playing group. We welcome Mat to the senior coaching ranks at the Coutas and wish him well in his appointment.
🎄 Great to see our netballers and footballers finishing their pre-Christmas training with a joint training session and get-together! Thanks to our new coaches Katrina and Rory for bringing this session together and special thanks to Bellarine Country Butchers for generously donating the burgers and snags for our post-training dinner.
🐟 We wish all the Coutas players, families, sponsors and supporters a very happy Christmas and we look forward to a successful 2022 together #coutacountry
🙌 Two Limbs are better than none!

Making waves in 2022 🌊
We’re pleased to welcome Jordy McIvor-Clark to the Couta Bowl for the upcoming senior football season. Jordy has three years of recent VFL experience with North Melbourne as well as spending time in the VAFA and QAFL, and is a proven ball-winner with great endurance.
Looking forward to seeing him in the red, white and blue for 2022 🐟 #CoutaCountry
The Queenscliff Football Netball Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Katrina Daws as our A Grade Coach for Seasons 2022 & 2023 🏐
Katrina has been mentored by some of the state’s best coaches, so she brings with her a wealth of knowledge, experience and the drive to take on her first Senior Coaching role at Queenscliff 🙌
We are extremely excited to have Katrina back at the Coutas taking the helm, and we look forward to seeing the impact she will have at the club.
QFNC would like to extend a very warm welcome to Katrina, her partner Joey and their daughter Aurora ❤️🤍💙 #CoutaCountry

Last but definitely not least for today’s action, B Grade brought it home in the red, white and blue!
An electric and courageous win, the girls held on until the very end, beating Torquay by a mere 1 goal. Heavy winds and no crowds didn’t shake the girls, digging deep in the 3rd quarter to seal the deal.
Shoutout to Mel Dick for live-streaming the whole game so those of us at home could get in on the action. I’m sure we were all cheering/yelling from our living rooms!
Bring on next week 👊🏼🏐 #CoutaCountry
Sadly it wasn’t the result D Grade hoped for, but it was a successful season for this side nonetheless.
Making finals within itself is an achievement to be proud of - and you sure didn’t go down without a fight! Bring on next year 💪🏼 #CoutaCountry
Our U15/1’s are off to the semi finals, beating Torquay today 17-14 🔥
A tough game with the girls digging deep to pull out a win. They play Ocean Grove next week, so let’s get behind them! (Virtually, because that’s all we can do at the moment 🙈) #CoutaCountry
Warriors just too good in today’s match behind closed doors at Modda. One more round to go – let’s bring it home strong next week 💪 #coutacountry
Heartbreak at Modda for our A Grade girls 💔 A gallant effort nonetheless #coutacountry
Big congratulations to one of long-standing Coutas @loz.calla on reaching 100 (officially recorded) senior netball games yesterday🥇
Fun fact; AFL Barwon only began tracking senior netball games back in 2013, so we can almost guarantee Loz’s unofficial tally would be well past the 200 mark! 👏🏼
We thank you for your years of dedication and contribution to the club. The Coutas wouldn’t be what they are today without you and your beautiful family. Here’s to 100 more 🎉🏐 #CoutaCountry
Unfortunately couldn’t get it done on the footy field, but thanks to everyone who came out today to support a very worthy cause ✋🐟 #coutacountry
✋ Announcing the 'Hand Up' Cup ✋
This week our A Grade netballers and Senior footballers will be playing against Drysdale for the inaugural Hand Up Cup. Our aim is to promote the need for greater education about mental health. In recent years, both clubs have lost much-loved and valued members following battles with mental health.
Queenscliff FNC and Drysdale FNC stand committed to continue the discussion around mental health and this year we begin our contest for the Hand Up Cup. The message behind the naming of the cup is two-fold. It means that individuals can put their 'hand up' and acknowledge that they are going through difficult times. It also encourages others to give their mate a 'hand up' as a show of support with their challenges.
As club members and followers, you will have the opportunity to support us in our endeavours to 'keep the conversation going'. At the game, you will be able to contribute much needed funds to Read the Play; a Geelong based organisation that focuses on youth mental health and community connection. Donations can be made at our canteen and bars.
Our late comeback just fell short in today’s return to senior footy 🏉🐟 #coutacountry
A difficult afternoon for A Grade against the undefeated ladder leaders 🏐🐟 #coutacountry
Bobbing up and down like this!! A big win for the seniors capped off the day after the ressies got their first W of the year on a special afternoon for the club 🐟 #2011flagreunion #coutacountry
Heartbreak for the A-Grade netballers as a spirited comeback just falls short 💔 #coutacountry
🏆 Today we commemorate the 10-year reunion of our drought-breaking 2011 senior football premiership team.
💪 The town was rocking that night after an estimated 4,000 Couta supporters saw the victory at Spring Creek Reserve.
😍 What are your memories of that historic day? Leave them in the comments below!

Couldn’t fault the effort; Torquay just too good as they kicked away in the last quarter 🐟 #coutacountry
🐟 Best of luck to our former reserves captain Dylan Whitley who makes his senior debut tomorrow. In his seventh season at the club and after 69 reserves games, the big fella finally gets his chance at 2 o’clock following a run of hot form in the twos.
We love nothing more than seeing hard work pay off. Go well, Sandy 🔥 #coutacountry
