Congratulations Ian Holmes for this well deserved recognition.𝗜𝗔𝗡 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗠𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗔𝗠Football Canterbury’s own Ian Holmes has been recognised for his substantial contributions to football (particularly community football) in the Australia Day 2026 Honours list.𝙄𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙊𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝘼𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙖 (𝙊𝘼𝙈).Ian is a Life Member of Football Canterbury (1982) and has been inducted into the Association’s Hall of Fame (2022) as following a 50-year plus association to the district and community football as a player, coach, administrator, and volunteer that begun at Belmore Police Boys Club. Ian significantly served Football Canterbury, then Canterbury and District Soccer Football Association, as its President/Chairman on four (4) separate occasions and its CEO for almost a decade. He’s a Football NSW Life Member (1987) as well as an inductee to the Football Australia Hall of Fame (2024).The volunteer and administrative service Ian has given to football stretches from grassroots to the national level of the game. He has witnessed the significant changes that have occurred in football including the bringing together of amateur and semi-professional state football bodies to become what is now Football NSW.The Board and Management of Football Canterbury extend their congratulations to Ian for what is a very well-deserved honour and recognition of service above and beyond with the awarding of an OAM in the Australia Day 2026 honours. ...

The whole of the football community will benefit from more synthetic fields, especially when huge effort, thought and planning has gone into their design. Our neighboring clubs Balmain & District Football Club and Leichhardt Saints Football Club have been working with Inner West Council to develop a proposal for synthetic fields at Callan Park. Their info makes clear this proposal is carefully designed. It deserves our support. We encourage our members and supporters to get behind this by signing the petition.www.change.org/callanparkSupport local all-weather fields ⚽After years of advocacy and community engagement, the proposals for two all-weather fields in Callan Park are finally on display, and it’s time to have your say!Sign the petition: www.change.org/callanparkBalmain & District Football Club and Leichhardt Saints Football Club have been collaborating with Inner West Council on the designs for over 18 months to ensure each field is designed specifically for its location in Callan Park.These modern all-weather fields will replace existing turf fields – one at Balmain Road Sports Ground and the other replacing Field 2 at Waterfront Drive Sports Ground – which, despite millions of dollars of investment in couch turf, drainage and maintenance, simply can’t handle the intensity of usage of two local football clubs with over 4,000 active players.The design of each all-weather field includes:✅ natural infill (no rubber crumb here!) to manage heat issues✅ all runoff is directed through modern drainage and filtration systems✅ micro-screen filter baskets capture loose organic infill or fibres, preventing them from entering the stormwater network✅ a continuous 150mm perimeter kerb prevents lateral migration of materials✅ defined entry and exit points with boot-cleaning zones to further reduce material movement✅ no fences, so public access is unchanged✅ no trees removed – both fields have big shade profiles from mature trees✅ improved pedestrian access for people with physical and mobility issuesExpert assessment concludes that runoff from the proposed fields is managed to a higher standard than existing turf fields, which currently rely on fertilisers, herbicides and pesticides.Grass fields also require up to 4 million litres of water per year, whereas these ALL-WEATHER fields will be sustainable in drought years as well as keeping thousands of local kids playing in wet weather!With each all-weather field occupying less than 1% of the vast 61 hectares of space at Callan Park, it’s time to open Callan Park to our community and provide modern sporting facilities to support a healthy, active lifestyle for everyone.Sign the petition. Make a submission.
