Is there really a better sound? π£π
Finals hopes kept alive for the Senior Football team after a confident win against Geelong Ammos on the weekend π₯π₯
Make sure you get down to the Bowl this Saturday to support the Couta side, as every goal is one step closer to (hopefully) reaching that finals fever π
Saturday also sees our final Off The Bench function for the year. We are inviting anyone who would like to 'buy in' for the day, the opportunity to do so! $100 gets you a spot in the OTB marquee, 4 hours of beers, a stubby holder, and lunch, all from 1:30pm.
π For Off The Bench details and buy-ins, call one of Mouse (0419 890 082) / Mono (0409 584 965) or Chucky (0421 570 248)

COUTA TO THE CORE π
Jake Hedley runs out to play his 200th club game π
Go get βem champion! β€οΈπ€π #CoutaCountry #Jake200
A leader from day one. Fearless, inspirational and reliable. A three-time premiership player, beloved senior captain for more than half a decade, and now a mastermind junior coach. Congratulations Jake Hedley on 200 games for Queenscliff π #coutacountry #jake200
There arenβt many father-son combos who have played a collective of almost 450 games for the Coutas π
@jakehedley plays his 200th for the club this weekend and his father, Dave, played almost 250 pre-noughties.
Jake has been a part of the QFNC since he can remember, and we have parents Dave and Deanna to thank for that.
We love when the Couta blood runs deep in our families β€οΈπ€π #CoutaCountry #Jake200
β Hand Up Cup β supporting Read The Play β
This week we turn our attention to raising much needed funds for @readtheplayinc, a Geelong-based organisation that supports young members of the community with their mental health.
As a club, we thought a great way to raise funds was to increase the price of our adult meals to $20 for this Thursday night, (9th June). That means that for each meal sold, $3 will go towards a club donation for Read The Play.
QFNC will match donations for the first 100 adult meals sold on Thursday night.
What a night πΊπΌ
Big thanks to @heymoodyphotography for capturing the evening so well!
Full album of photos have been shared to Facebook on the QFNC Couta Ball 2022 event. Tag your mates ππΌ #CoutaCountry

After a 3 year hiatus (thanks Covid), Ladies Day was finally back with a bang this weekend! π₯³
@amanduh.dragqueen , @pianobargeelong, champagne and lots of laughs made up Saturdayβs fabulously fun afternoon at the Monahan Centre π₯ππΌ
A huge thank you to the wonderful event organisers, Shelley Clark, Susan Monahan, Ange Monahan and Lisa Peart. The day wouldnβt be possible without your efforts and it was so nice to see this fantastic, annual event back in its finest form.
We also appreciate all individuals/businesses/sponsors that donated raffle prizes for the day, including the clubβs major sponsor, @queenscliffbrewhouse, who were very generous with their donations.
Part of the proceeds from the day will also be donated to local organisation @geelongmums π
See you all next year π€ͺ
The perfect result! A big win over Ammos for #Tom200 π And how good to see the playing group get over to thank the Off The Bench contingent after the final siren #coutacountry
π Clubpeople donβt get much bigger than this. A decorated footballer, respected member of the community, and loving family man. Tom Limb plays his 200th game this weekend. The amount of people who have paid tribute in this video indicates just how beloved Tommy is. Good luck tomorrow mate #tom200 #coutacountry

Last but definitely not least for todayβs 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 didnβt 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. Iβm sure we were all cheering/yelling from our living rooms!
Bring on next week ππΌπ #CoutaCountry
Sadly it wasnβt 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 didnβt go down without a fight! Bring on next year πͺπΌ #CoutaCountry
Our U15/1βs are off to the semi finals, beating Torquay today 17-14 π₯
A tough game with the girls digging deep to pull out a win. They play Ocean Grove next week, so letβs get behind them! (Virtually, because thatβs all we can do at the moment π) #CoutaCountry
