The Nanango Panthers soccer club hosted a friendly game at Alan Downie Sports Fields in Nanango last Sunday afternoon to honour the man after whom the grounds have been named.<\/p>\n

The social game, between the Panthers women’s team and the club’s Cadets squad, was played in good spirits with teams competing for the Alan Downie Memorial Shield.<\/p>\n

Alan Downie joined the Nanango Sporting Association – the not-for-profit group which runs the sporting area in Burnett Street – in 1983 and was a much-valued member right up to his death.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the years, he served as the NSA’s president, vice-president and groundsman.<\/p>\n

Alan was also a keen soccer player and supporter, coaching both junior and senior Panthers’ men’s and women’s teams.<\/p>\n

The sports field is the home of the Nanango Scorpions cricket club, the Panthers soccer club and the Nanango Kennel Club.<\/p>\n

This Sunday, the Nanango Sporting Association will be hosting another major event at the grounds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The annual Power Up Show And Shine And Swap Meet will be held from 9:30am to 1:00pm.<\/p>\n

It will feature a feast of vehicles plus market stalls, a canteen, coffee van and a magic show for kids at 11:00am.<\/p>\n
