Around The Grounds
Another week and another round of Football fun both on and off the field. Here, we look at what’s been happening around our grounds.
We start with news from the Peel Regional Walking Football Club, who are putting on extra events for the next few weeks. With demand getting higher, the club have decided to put these extra sessions on for those who live north of the region. For more details and to register your interest, please visit http://tinyurl.com/PRWFC
Last week’s game between Rockingham City and Joondalup United was a charity fundraising day for Worthy WA. The result on the day didn’t go to plan for the home side, but off the pitch, a total of $5,300 was raised, which was an excellent result all round. Well done to all those who helped raise this amount of money.
On the subject of fundraising, Baldivis Districts had a recent Pizza evening, where money was donated for every pizza sold and the club were very happy to announce that $2000 was raised to help out the Mulcahy family in these sad times for them. Once again, great work everyone, hope the pizzas were nice!
Rockingham United would love a few more ladies to play football with them this season. The club prides itself in making sure everyone has a fun time and even if you have never played before, they will welcome you with open arms. They meet up on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.15pm at Paul Garnett Reserve in Cooloongup (Near Rockingham hospital) and a warm welcome is guaranteed! The club is all inclusive, no trials and LGBTIA+ friendly.
Baldivis Soccer Club under9’s are on the lookout for a goalkeeper and one more outfield player. Ideally, some experience is required, and training happens on a Wednesday evening from 5pm at Peckham Reserve. For more information, please contact the club directly.

A Worthy Night Out
Australia Cup – No More Interest For Our Local Sides
Our regions last remaining side in this seasons Australia Cup, Mandurah City, bowed out of the competition as they went down 3-0 at home to NPL side Sorrento.
In a goalless first half, the visitors took the lead in the 66th minute through Robertson and then doubled their lead just 5 minutes later with a goal from Dabbs. Despite Mandurah desperately trying to get back into the game, it was the visitors who wrapped up the scoring in the 4th minute of injury time through Snowden.
Mandurah will now get back to concentrating on the league, starting with a home game against Gwelup Croatia on Saturday at 3pm
Rockingham City Reserves Rock Red Star
In the latest round of the State League Reserves cup, Rockingham City provided a cup upset as they defeated NPL side Perth RedStar 3-1. Rockingham had an excellent first half, storming into a 3-0 lead with goals from Mbedzi, Marr and Hancock. Rockingham then made a series of changes at half time and the misery continued for the visitors as O’Conner was sent off on the hour mark along with Mbedzi. Despite this, RedStar did pull a goal back on 64 minutes through Saungweme but the home side held out to go into the draw for the next round.
The under 18’s didn’t fair as well, as they went down 4-0. Two goals in each half was enough for RedStar to progress into the next round.

Sad News From Our Football Community
The local Football Community lost one of its own Monday night.
Shaun Mulcahy, a loving father, husband, son, brother and friend, tragically lost his life Monday night in a horrific accident in Secret Harbour. Shaun was part of the Rockingham City family this season.
His daughter Madison, who represented Baldivis Districts in 2022, this season was also in the car at the time with her younger Brother Tommy, suffered a concussion.
Our thoughts are with wife Aleisha and her two kids at this extremely difficult time.
Sunday 21st May, Baldivis Districts will be holding a fundraiser in support of the Mulcahy Family with all proceeds from the day going to this much loved family.
We encourage everyone from our extended Football Family to show their support at this difficult time for a family who’s lives have been so tragically changed.
There is also a go fund me page set up to help the family at the difficult time. Please donate here

Double Delight For Rockingham And Mandurah
Both Rockingham City and Mandurah City warmed up for next weeks local derby next weekend with 2 wins this week.
Rockingham City got their much needed first win of the season and lifted themselves off the bottom of the table as they beat Dianella White Eagles 1-0 with Max Worswick getting the only goal of the game.
Mandurah City had goal keeper Alfie Brincat to thanks as his penalty save denied Subiaco from going 1 up, before goals from Murray Macintosh and Joe O’Brien but the home side 2-0 up. Subiaco then scored a late consolation goal to make it 2-1.
Rockingham had a good day all round as their under 18’s won 2-1 and the reserves drew 1-1, but Mandurah didn’t have the same luck as both the 18’s and reserves lost.
A Message From Football West CEO Jamie Harnwell
A message from Football West CEO Jamie Harnwell
Dear all,
Welcome everybody to the 2023 season, whether your competition is already up and running or is one of those about to kick off.
I would like to take this opportunity to address some of the challenges that Football West and the football community have faced in preparation for the new season.
In 2022 Football West made the decision to engage with a new competition management system, Squadi.
This decision was not taken lightly but was in recognition that the previous system had reached its functional capacity with no further support planned before its expiry at the end of this year. This was reflected in the continuing issues both Football West and the community experienced with the system.
Squadi was tested through smaller Football West competitions and events, as well as being showcased to representatives across club football before finalising the decision.
It is also the competition management system selected by our fellow Member Federations with whom we liaise closely, including Northern NSW Football and Football QLD, as well as Macarthur FA.
As with any new system implementation, there have been challenges, and Football West acknowledges the frustrations that our clubs, parents and players have been facing.
The Football West team is working diligently to deliver a product which will meet the needs of the entire football community, and once fully embedded will reduce workload and improve efficiency for users.
We have previously presented a series of webinars, video demonstrations and help guides, which can be found on the Squadi home page here: https://www.footballwest.com.au/squadi
Squadi already offers benefits above what the previous system could deliver, including:
- Integrated referee rostering and complete in-app scoring module, allowing officials to enter scores in a timely manner;
- Integrated communications allowing specific and timely communications to key groups, via push notification and email;
- Centralised disciplinary management, reducing time taken to process and issue infringements, as well as the added ability to gain meaningful data insights;
- Ability for clubs to generate revenue using integrated eCommerce capabilities; and
- Live scoring capability across all leagues, allowing home team managers to enter scores dynamically via the app.
Football West and Squadi are committed to the system’s further development and updates are being regularly issued.
Enhancements will soon be introduced to line-up information available on match day and post-match day, and a new “match day centre” which will be available online and display details of every match.
There will also be new administration tools and features to allow fixture and venue reporting, the ability to forfeit matches within the app and instantly notify opposition and match officials, as well as improvements to the live-scoring interface.
These enhancements are due to the valued feedback of the football community. Over the coming weeks Football West will be hosting forums to learn more details about the challenges being faced by clubs, the work being by Football West has done to address those challenges, and steps moving forward for the rest of this season and 2024.
For those of you joining the app and experiencing issues with conflicting family accounts, there is a dedicated Squadi email that you can use to seek support. Simply email the following address to have them resolved:
tickets@squadi-support-email.p.tawk.email
Additionally, if you do experience any issues on match day, please manually record the match information and send it to Football West. This information has also been provided to all match officials to ensure games can go ahead without concern. However, we do encourage you to use the app wherever possible. Like anything new, it will take time to adapt to a new way of working.
The Football West team is currently working through all requests and prioritising fixture changes for this weekend and the system will be updated accordingly.
I understand that change can be challenging but I want to reassure you that Football West is here to support the successful implementation of Squadi.
Once again, thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to deliver a totally integrated matchday solution.
