Mullumbimby Brunswick Valley Football Club (BVFC) Grade 15, Division 1 soccer team won the grand final by defeating Alstonville FC 2-0 at Oakes Oval in Lismore last Saturday, 29 August.
The young BVFC side delivered a stellar performance in front of a passionate crowd of supporters.
Mullumbimby broke the deadlock before half-time when Milo McClain reacted quickest in the box, pouncing on a loose ball after Kymani Veltri’s initial shot was parried by the Alstonville goalkeeper.
Holding a tense 1-0 advantage into the break, the team continued to press with disciplined defence and sharp attacking transitions.
In the second half, Siam Postma sealed the championship triumph in style. He unleashed a stunning, long-range strike from well outside the penalty box that flew past the keeper, securing the 2-0 victory and the grand championship title.
Postma’s exceptional goal and overall impact on the pitch earned him the official Player of the Grand Final honours.
The win capped off years of consistent work from coaches Joa McClain and Eddie Postma, who have guided the players through consecutive seasons together.
Team captain Cosmo Quinn praised the group’s resilience after the match, noting how deeply meaningful the victory was for the squad.
‘This win is so well deserved,’ Quinn said.
‘After fighting hard and falling short in the semi-finals for two years in a row, it feels incredible to finally lift the trophy together.’
