Under the newly formed voluntary committee the association will be encouraging a greater level of participation in decision making and involvement, and the first tasks will be to improve the facilities at the club.

June 18th -21st 2009 saw AFC Corinthians enjoy their 9th Annual Tour, this time to the sunny shores of Malta. The four day trip saw some excellent team building, some shenanigans and tomfoolery, and the occasional glimpse of high quality football! Corinthians took a fifteen-strong squad with them, and were able to win both fixtures with a 3-2 victory over a local side and a comprehensive 9-2 win against a national development side including several youth internationals (who only played until half-time, at which point it was 2-2!).
A good time was had by all with only a few mishaps, and plans begin immediately for the big 10th Anniversary Tour in 2010!
