The Ferny Grove Falcons would like to thank the Suncorp group for donating $874 to the club as part of their 'Belong' Small Grants program. Each year the grants are given out to community groups in which Suncorp staff are involved. The grant couldn't come at a better time and will be used to purchase much-needed new footballs and other vital equipment. Thank-you to former club treasurer Paul Anderson for organising the grant application and thanks again to Suncorp.

Are you interested in umpiring Junior Rules games, Under 8's, 9's, and 10's ? Umpiring Junior Rules is a great introduction to umpiring, and can lead to umpiring at a higher level, even one day maybe in the AFL. All training and uniforms are provided, and you get paid ! If you are interested, please email your details to fernygrovejuniors@aflq.com.au. Note : preferred minimum age would be turning 14 in 2012.

Congratulations to Eden Richards for finishing 3rd in U16 Div 2, and Chesley Cutler 2nd in U14 Div 4, at the resent AFLBJ Best & Fairest awards night. Full list of vote getters in all competitions is attached see more ..

It was a great pleasure to welcome our club patron and State Member for Ferny Grove Geoff Wilson back to Falcon Park on Sunday, Geoff and David O'leary from AFLQ were invited to our club to officially open the goal post netting and also to give president Greg Paterson the opportunity to thank them both for their assistance in the club's successful grant application though the State Government Community Benefit Fund .

If you are thinking of borrowing money for either a home or business loan, give NAB a chance as they are donating a percentage of every settled loan to the Ferny Grove AFC if the person applying for the loan mentions they are affiliated with the club. This can be a friend or family member living interstate as well. Some clubs have made over $20,000 doing this.

The Ferny Grove Falcons would like to thank Adam Dando and the team at McDonalds Arana Hills, for their generous donation of a new set of junior goal post pads, and a shade shelter. This new equipment will certainly be put to good use. Again, thanks Adam and McDonalds for your continued support !

In further development of our facilities, we now have nets up behind the goals at both ends, so no more chasing footies into the carpark or bushes. With our recently redeveloped playing surface, full height goal posts, double storey coaches boxes for both teams, full ground lighting, and now nets behind the goals, Falcon Park would have to be considered one of the premier junior facilities in Brisbane. Many thanks to Greg Paterson for his work on the Grant Application, and Jeff Peters for the construction and installation.

The Ferny Grove footy club would like to thank all the boys who competed at the Western Taipans U16 selection day yesterday. The way you conducted yourselves both on and off the field, you are a credit to yourselves, your parents, and the club. Special congratulations must go to Matt Tydink and Eden Richards, who have been named in the initial 36 man squad. Good luck to both Matt and Eden as they progress with the Taipans squad which will eventually be reduced down to 25 for the carnival. To the boys who missed selection, don't be too disappointed. there were over 200 players competing on the day, and I am sure a couple of you were very close.
