Present Day
Pine Rivers United were participating in the Brisbane Premier League, and were a team that was usually expected to finish in the mid-lower regions of the table. In 2009, there were 13 teams participating in the premier league, and after round three of the 2009 season Pine Rivers sat last on zero points. After a turn of fortunes during the late stages of the season the club heroicly pushed out of the relegation zone to secure 10th place out of the 13 clubs participating. Pine Rivers main rivals are the high performing Rochedale Rovers, who finished 2nd in the 2009 season. The last time the two clubs played, a late strike from Seb Thatcher in the dying stages of the game secured a well fought 2-1 win against a team boasting many experienced Hyundai A-league players.
However, in the 2010 season the club finished 14th out of 14 teams, and will play in Brisbane Premier Division 1 in 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“... the loss of belief in future states is politically, though certainly not spiritually, the most significant distinction between our present period and the centuries before. And this loss is definite. For no matter how religious our world may turn again, or how much authentic faith still exists in it, or how deeply our moral values may be rooted in our religious systems, the fear of hell is no longer among the motives which would prevent or stimulate the actions of a majority.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“we carry home as prizes
Funny bugs, of handy sizes,
Just to give the day a scientific tone.”
—Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)
