If you were looking for Yorkeys Knob Junior Soccer you found us, only were are now known as Yorkeys Knob Junior Football, which ever way it is still the Yorkeys Hornets. The original club was formed in the late 70's, nobody can give the exact year but we are still around kicking the football(soccer ball). From the early days when one of our teams was virtually the FNQ rep team, to other seasons; when player numbers were large, so to save on travelling times another club was able to bud from us; to that season when we only fielded a few teams.

Season 2009 and yorkeys junior football is fielding seven teams, the rebuilding of the club. Although based at Yorkeys Knob the surrounding suburbs of Smithfield, Caravonica, Trinity Park and Hollaways Beach all contribute players, parents, coaches and volunteers. The Yorkeys Hornets play in the Cairns and Districts(C.D.S.A.) competition with fixtures are played at Endeavour Park soccer grounds in Cairns(most junior soccer games are at this central venue Endeavour Park [ map of football fields ] ).

Amongst these swaying palms, our junior players are taught about the world game, skills required for playing soccer, personal development and, above all to enjoy the game, have some fun while respecting their fellow players. While we might be there to win the game, football / soccer is about more than just winning.

Even though some of our players may come from the surrounding suburbs, the Hornets are still a community based club, creating a bigger football community.
