ROCKDALE ANNOUNCES NEW SIGNINGS FOR 2012......

SUNS SIGN KOHLER and MURAYAMA....

The Rockdale City Suns Football Club this week secured the services of former A-league player Paul Kohler and Japanese full back Takuya Murayama.

Paul Kohler brings to the club a wealth of experience having played over 45 matches in the A-League for the Newcastle Jets between 2005 and 2008 and over 20 matches for the North Queensland Fury in 2009 and 2010.

A championship winner in the NSL in 2001 and an integral part of the championship winning Newcastle Jets team in the 2007/2008 A- League season, Paul will be a great asset to the club.

Takuya Murayama better known as “Taku” is a specialist right winger who was with Bonnyrigg in the 2011 season having previously applied his trade in Japan.

Taku was a standout player in 2011 and is being closely monitored by A-league scouts due to his impressive performances in the 2011 NSWPL season, he will fill the void left in the roster by the retirement of club stalwart Paul Dee.

The Club would like to welcome both players on board and wish them the very best for the upcoming NSWPL season.

The Club’s recruitment drive for the 2012 season is in full swing and further exciting new signings will be announced shortly.

TECHNICAL DIRECTOR APPOINTMENT AND PDP TRIAL FORMS

Rockdale City Suns are delighted to announce that Mark Rudan is joining our Club as Technical Director.

Mark enjoyed a long and successful playing career that commenced with Sydney United. He also enjoyed successful playing stints in Germany with Alemannia Aachen, in Japan with Avispa Fukuoka, and with the Swiss Super League outfit FC Vaduz.

Mark was an inaugural squad member of Sydney FC where he enjoyed three successful seasons. His leadership qualities were evidenced by the fact that he was also a club captain with the sky blues.

On the international side, he was a member of the Young Socceroos for a South American tour in 1993, including a youth tournament mostly including club sides. He was made vice captain to Mark Viduka in Australia's undefeated Youth World Cup qualifying campaign and scored the only goal of the Oceania final against New Zealand. He was a part of the squad for the 1995 World Youth Cup, played three of Australia's four matches including their second round exit in extra time at the hands of Portugal. He progressed his way into the national under-23 team and played most qualifying matches for the Olympics in Atlanta.

Since hanging up the boots, Mark has continued his involvement in the game and is most recognisable nowadays as a commentator on Fox Sports.

Mark has a wealth of knowledge and will be a valuable asset to the Club and in particular, the PDP program. As Technical Director for the PDP program, Mark will be responsible for developing the Club's PDP curriculum and he will be working closely with the PDP coaches and players.

On behalf of the Club, we would like to thank each and every Suns fan for their support this season. Whilst we did not make the finals, we were always backed by our supporters, our members, and our sponsors.

SUNS JUNIORS SHINING BRIGHT

On Saturday 27 August 2011, our U

nder 9 Seal(2) team played in the Carss Park gala day. There were 20 top teams from Sutherland, Eastern Suburbs and St.George districts.

Our boys did the club proud and made the Grand final only narrowly going down 2-0 to Connells Point.

The boys scored the most goals, conceded the least, played the most attractive football in the tournament, yet somehow managed to unluckily lose in the Grand Final to Connells Point who they beat in the first round. To come 2nd out of 20 teams is a great effort boys keep it up. Well done to Louie and the boys.

Lee Sterrey - Appointment Rockdale Suns Coach (Article from The Real Game)

Wednesday, 16 February 2011

Lee Sterrey has been giving the coaching gig at Rockdale City Suns for the 2011 NSWPL season. After a solid stint at Marconi Stallions in the 2010 NSWPL. Lee Sterrey did not agree to terms for the 2011 season he was replaced by Luke Casserly but were did that leave on of Australia's great coaches. 

Lee Sterrey a former NSL coach and always having sides that played for the ninety minutes, attacking football and always producing young talent not coaching in 2011 that could not be right. 

Rockdale City Suns the next destination for Lee, Rockdale have sacked Mile Todorovski before the first game of the season and after the club has come out calling for a semi final spot the board of Rockdale wanted a proven coach and that in Lee Sterrey they have. 

Great news for the NSWPL as one of the finest Aussie coaches in the game will be working his stuff week in week out at Bicentenial Park South.

ROCKDALE CITY SUNS 2011 MACO CUP CHAMPIONS

Rockdale City Suns the 2011 Maso Cup Champions

 

In 2011 the Maso Cup was jointly hosted by the Rockdale City Suns and the Bankstown City Lions.

This year saw over 20 teams from all over Australia being invited and ten teams participate.

Over 6,000 people attended the games that were spread over the three days the tournament was played over.

The Cringilla Lions and Wollongong United played in the first semi final which ended in a 1-1 draw before going to penalties which saw Wollongong United win 4-3 and advance to the grand final.

Rockdale City Suns after beating the Preston Lions 2-0 advanced to the semi finals and they met the other joint host, Bankstown City Lions, at full time the game ended in a nil all draw.

A nail biting penalty shoot out was then held and each team took 12 penalty shots before a cool and classy penalty by Rockdale City Suns new signing and former Newcastle Jets striker Jason Naidovski sealed the win for the Suns 10-9 on penalties.

The Suns then clashed with Wollongong United in the grand final before a loud and large crowd, the Suns won the game 3-0 with two goals scored by Josh Lawson and one by new Rockdale signing and former West Sydney Berries captain Kosta Lagoudakis.

Jason Naidovski was crowned player of the tournament and presented with the Australian Macedonian Weekly player of the tournament trophy by Rockdale City Council Mayor Bill Sarvinovski.

JUNIOR REGISTRATION 5 + 6 FEBRUARY 2011- FINAL CHANCE

A reminder that Junior registrations will continue this Saturday and Sunday at the Ilinden Sports Centre. Registrations will take place between 9am-3pm. This is the final weekend of player registrations so all players wanting to play for the Suns this year are asked to attend registrations this weekend.  We continue to seek players and coaches for all teams from Under 6's upwards.  Registration prices are $220 for children and $300 for all age players with each player receiving as part of their registration fee a full playing strip, club hoodie, a spray jacket, training shirt, water bottle, trophy and player photos.  Each player will also be given two coaching sessions with Soccer de Brazil to help improve player skill. 

So if you are keen on joining the Junior ranks of St George's only Premier League Club, come on down this Saturday.

A reminder for all new players that you must bring with you a copy of your Birth Certificate.

All players are required to have new photos taken, even players who had a photo taken last year.  This is a requirement from the St George Association and so parents are reminded that their children will need to attend the registration with them.  All coaches and RTO's are also asked to attend as they too will need to have a new photo taken.

As an added bonus, all players who register with Rockdale City Suns Juniors will be able to join up as Junior Blues member for the upcoming 2011/12 Hyundai A-League season.  Junior Blues forms will be available at our registration.

For any questions about our Junior registrations, please contact one of the Junior Club contacts (see Club contacts).

Spaces in some teams are limited so get in early.
