Bar FC plays in memory of John Marshall SC

08/05/2025

Yesterday Bar FC resumed the Domain Soccer League competition with a spirited and driven performance against Factset FC. When the final whistle blew, Bar FC was victorious 2-0.

Prior to the match, Simon Philips said a few words to commemorate John Marshall SC, who sadly passed after a battle with illness. A founding member of Bar FC and a dogged central defender, Marshall was a mentor to fellow members of the Bar both on and off the pitch. He gave much to the sport of football, not only as a player, but also as Chair of the Football Committee of Football Australia. He will be sadly missed by many and would have been pleased with the outcome of the match.

The line up was also watched by present and past players to honour Marshall SC, namely Lo Surdo SC, Patch, Griscti and John Harris.

The squad was as follows: - Nick Olson - Simon Philips (C) (K) - Faraz Maghami - Timothy Boyle - Angus Lang SC - Justin Doyle - Hugh Morrison - Amay Tembe - Anais d’Arville - Jude Davenport - Andrew Munro - Jackson Rogers - David Stanton (M)
