We’re on show, and we love it A letter from FFV CEO Peter Gome
WELL, we’re back. I have to say, I was worried there for a minute that our Bentleigh Greens might not reach this stage after surprisingly being down 1-0, but they did it. And Johnny Anastasiadis’ boys did it in style. It was a magnificent header from captain Wayne Wallace to equalise and a powerful blast from Jamie De Abreu to win it. It showed the character and resilience of the side and they certainly did Victoria proud. Now, Bentleigh is the last member-federation club left in Australia, proudly flying the Victorian flag, and all eyes are certainly on Kingston Heath. We need to show the rest of the country just what we can do, and there’ll be a big audience watching. Fox Sports has averaged 42,000 viewers for every match, which isn’t a bad result for midweek pay television. To put that figure in context, the Wales v Australia international rugby match only had 43,000 viewers. The interest is also there on social media as showed on Wednesday night. Bentleigh Greens and #BGvAC were both trending across Australia on Twitter, with thousands of people following the games every moment. The interest level really is a testament to the pulling power of the FFA Cup. People were yearning for a tournament like
2
this to give our clubs a chance to test themselves against the heavyweights of Australian football. Tonight, we get that chance. Bentleigh, a club made up of tradesmen, white collar professionals, labourers, school teachers, and students, will face off against a side sitting on top of the A-League ladder. But as this tournament has shown, anyone can beat anyone on their day; Adelaide City beat recently-crowned Asian Champions League winners Western Sydney Wanderers. Many of Bentleigh’s part-timers are just kids, with 26-year-old defender Jamie Cumming one of the oldest in the squad. Tonight, he’ll face off against Perth’s Andy Keogh who’s been scoring goals for fun in the A-League. It’s an intimidating prospect, but that’s where you come in. We need to make Kingston Heath a fortress; we need this crowd to cheer our Greens on and not let them forget they’re playing on the national stage. All eyes will be on Bentleigh, and I’m confident those 11 men on that pitch will do us proud. Go Greens! Live the dream!

Match day preview It’s a classic battle between David and Goliath, only Goliath is exhausted, writes Shaun Moran Bentleigh Greens will be aiming to satisfy the romantics when the PS4 National Premier Leagues representative looks to upset Perth Glory’s FFA Cup charge and take its place in the final of the inaugural edition of the competition. The Greens, who hail from Melbourne’s south-east, guaranteed their spot in the last four following a spectacular extra-time win against Adelaide City at Kingston Heath Soccer Complex. It seemed as if Bentleigh’s cup run was coming to an end, as Adelaide led with only minutes to play. Skipper Wayne Wallace rescued the Greens’ hopes - coming through for the home side to extend the game by a further 30 minutes. Jamie De Abreu then earned himself hero status with a goal that will be remembered around those parts for years to come. Perth will be the Greens’ first Hyundai A-League opponent after overcoming Blacktown City, Sydney Olympic and the plucky South Australians to date. Coach John Anastasiadis believes that a major upset is on the cards. “It will be a massive effort by the boys [to win the game],” he said. “We will have to tactically set up properly and make sure that we don’t give Perth any space - otherwise we could be in trouble. “No doubt they will be sharper but it’s 11 versus 11 so you just never know.”
A sell-out and a vocal home crowd could prove to be a decisive factor for the team who normally attract no more than a few hundred fans through the turnstiles throughout the regular season. “Home support is extremely important as they act as a 12th man and hopefully they make lots of noise to spur the boys on,” Anastasiadis said. Bentleigh will be hoping to dial up the pressure on its visitors who are largely expected to win comfortably. “They [Perth] may think that it’s not ideal to lose to a non A-League side but that’s the romance of the cup,” Anastasiadis said. The Western Australians in contrast have negotiated tougher tasks en route to this stage. Kenny Lowe’s charges took care of Newcastle Jets and notably Melbourne Victory, while they also accounted for Victorian NPL 1 side St Albans in the Round of 16. A win in Melbourne would put Glory in a position to win its first piece of silverware since the A-League’s inception. It will have a tough time backing up for the encounter though on the back of its 4-0 defeat to Central Coast Mariners in Gosford on Sunday. Shaun Moran is a freelance journalist.

Ready for Glory test It’s been a big week for the Greens, with Johnny Anastasiadis’ boys receiving more attention than ever, writes Bryce Clayton BENTLEIGH Greens coach John Anastasiadis says his side is ready to give its all against an inform Perth Glory side. The Greens came from behind to beat Adelaide City in the quarter final, and Anastasiadis and his boys have reverted to a typical season training schedule ahead of what is building to be the biggest game in the club’s history. “After the [quarter-final win] we took about four days off and we just got started training this week,” Anastasiadis said. “We’ll have four training sessions this week, inclusive of a Sunday session, so it’s more or less like a normal NPL week for us.” The Greens come up against Perth Glory, which overcame a strong Melbourne Victory side in the quarter finals to progress. For a minnow of Australian football coming up against a huge club like Perth Glory, you wouldn’t blame the Greens if they let the excitement get to them ahead of such a huge clash. But Anastasiadis suggests his boys have kept themselves grounded and are extremely focused on the magnitude of the challenge ahead of them. “The boys realised what was at stake and enjoyed themselves for the couple of days after the quarter final but since then they’ve had their heads down into work at training,” he said. “[The entire team] are very much looking forward to it.” Overcoming a strong Adelaide City side was a large enough task in itself for the Greens,
6
especially considering Adelaide City’s roundof-32 win over Asian champions Western Sydney Wanderers. But the Greens coach was happy to have a laugh ahead of the match, making sure his boys are ready to attempt to provide an upset of their own. “Well that sort of makes us Asian Champions doesn’t it,” Anastasiadis joked after the concept of beating the side that knocked out the Wanderers. “It’s a totally different ball game, and I think that was a lesson for everyone but I think Perth will come down with a very strong squad. “Perth are much sharper and have a lot more cattle than we have, their substitutions are Australian internationals and ours are young boys so we’ll give it as good as we can.” The home ground advantage could play a key role in the result of this fixture. And with the Glory playing just 48 hours before their clash in a different state, it could be the Greens and Anastasiadis who are the happier after the 90, or even 120 minutes of football. “There have been a stack of people wanting tickets [to Tuesday’s game],” Anastasiadis said. “We know there’s a lot of neutrals supporting us so we appreciate that and all the help we can get is all the better for us. “Hopefully on the day we can have a full house and make a lot of noise and make the crowd our 12th man.” Bryce Clayton is a freelance football writer.

The heroes from Hull They watched Hull City play in last year’s FA Cup final together, now Wally and Tommy are on the brink of their own final, writes Tim McGlone
WHEN Bentleigh’s midfield maestro Wayne Wallace left England for a holiday to Australia back in 2008, he intended to stay for six months and do a bit of travelling, before packing his bags and heading home. Never did it occur to him - nor fellow countryman Tom Matthews - that they would eventually play alongside each other in the semi-finals of Australia’s biggest knockout cup competition. The pair, both from Kingston upon Hull in the north of England, had once lined up against each other on the pitch. Wallace, or ‘Wally’ as he is affectionately known by the Bentleigh faithful, was playing for the semi-professional Bridlington Town against Matthews’ North Ferriby United. Since arriving together at Bentleigh in 2011, the pair have developed a friendship that has extended beyond football, according to Matthews. “We’ve struck up a good relationship both on and off the pitch,” Matthews said. “Coming over here and obviously not knowing too many people, it’s good to have that connection with someone like I do with Wa. “He’s also the only one that understands my accent, so that helps.” Electricians by trade, both Matthews and Wallace have recently gained permanent residency in Australia, indicating they may be here for some time to come.
This will be music to the ears of Bentleigh fans, given the massive influence the two have had on the team’s run to the semi-finals. Wallace scored with a towering header to level the scores late in the quarter-final against Adelaide City, while Matthews has been an integral member of a back four that has refused to leak goals. The pair both support Hull City in the English Premier League, and Matthews was at Wallace’s house for last year’s F.A Cup final, when Hull almost toppled English heavyweight Arsenal. Hull’s unlikely run to the final bears some similarities to the magical run Bentleigh currently finds itself on in the FFA Cup. When the duo arrived at Bentleigh in 2011, the club was on the brink of relegation. This is in stark contrast to the club’s fortunes today, with Tuesday night’s match the biggest in Bentleigh’s 28-year history. “Its been special,” Wallace said of his side’s run thus far. “To win like we did against Adelaide, in front of 3000 of our own fans, it was amazing really.” Matthews agrees: “When we arrived at Bentleigh they were still trying to establish themselves as a premier league team. “To make the VPL final last year and then obviously to do what we’ve done this season in the cup, it shows just how far we’ve come in the last four or five years.”

The great balancing act They were part of the lucky few to pick up an NYL contract, but as Jordan Lim found out, Luke Gallo and Christian Cavallo are balancing it well.
THEY say teenagers think they’re invincible, a fabled creature capable of doing anything and everything, quite simply, because they believe they can. Any adult erring on the side of caution would wave off the notion, but why question the reckless abandon that comes with youth when you really are taking on the world? For Bentleigh Greens teenagers Christian Cavallo and Luke Gallo, their foray into the Westfield FFA Cup has arrived alongside a new chapter in their fledgling careers, a Foxtel National Youth League journey that has seen them take on the challenge of balancing two club sides. For the fleet-footed Gallo, his City spell is yet to fully kick-off, with his Bentleigh duties – not to mention the unforgiving nature of VCE - resigning the winger to just the solitary appearance on the bench in the NYL. “On Tuesday I have my Legal exam, which is just before the big game against Perth Glory so that’s going to be another long day but I think I’ve coped pretty well,” Gallo explains with a wry smile. “It’s been hard to manage the time with school, exams, Melbourne City and Bentleigh. But City and [youth coach] Joe Palatsides have been really lenient. He’s given me time off to recover and makes sure my training schedule doesn’t wear me out.” Cavallo has gone in a different direction, with game time for Melbourne Victory sacrificed for
10
a heavy training workload, which he admits has been difficult to manage. “It’s pretty difficult at the moment, I’ve got six sessions a week at Melbourne Victory and I’m at Bentleigh four times a week. It’s hard balancing it but that’s what comes with professional football,” Cavallo concedes. “[Victory youth coach] Darren Davies has been pretty understanding about it. He has given me more lenience to stay [at Bentleigh] because of the FFA Cup commitments. “It’s done a lot for the club. I was here as a junior and I have seen it transform into this. The FFA Cup experience for me is a good learning experience for when I do become a professional- [the big games] won’t be as daunting.” But for now, no game in his budding career has had so much riding on it, and it may just prove to be one of the biggest cup clashes he ever takes part in. “I’ve just got to go out and do my best. There is no tactic [to keeping Perth at bay] so I’m just going to have a hit-out and see what happens,” Cavallo says. “[The win] would mean a lot obviously because we’re such a small club and we’d really put ourselves on the map and get tonnes of publicity for us.” Jordan Lim is the editor of The Corner Flag.

A second chance Bentleigh are a club renonwed for producing youngsters, but it’s also given more than a few players a second chance, Alen Delic writes.
PICTURE a life where you wake up, put two hours of hard work in on the training track, then head off to lunch with your teammates. You have a great lunch with the lads, and you get up to pay at the counter, but the restaurant owner refuses; professional footballers eat for free here as long as they take a few photos and sign a few shirts. That’s what Jamie De Abreu experienced when he spent the start of this year training with Wellington Phoenix. “I was training in the morning with Wellington Phoenix and in the evenings with [feeder club] Team Wellington,” he said. “It was full time football and I really enjoyed it. “I thought, ‘I could get used to this’.” De Abreu isn’t the only player in the squad to have experience with an A-League side. Luke O’Dea, Liam McCormick, Luke Pilkington, and Alastair Bray have all been around A-League set-ups. Bentleigh is a club renowned for developing youth, but it’s also a side that takes in players from the wilderness and gives them a second chance. Goalkeeper Bray is one of the guys who has seized his opportunity with both gloves. He was a member of Melbourne Victory’s youth squad, before moving on to the former Melbourne Heart NYL side. But his time was plagued with injury, tearing
14
ligaments in both shoulders and needing two separate shoulder reconstructions over two years. “The first time I tore shoulder ligaments, it was playing in the NYL offseason for Bentleigh, and the other was just in training,” Bray said. “Both times, I just fell awkwardly and popped them both out. “But Heart supported me through my rehab both times, and gave me all the help I needed to get back on the pitch.” Their support paid off, with Bray reestablishing himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the NYL and earning himself the title of Heart’s NYL Player of the Year. But time wasn’t on his side; he turned 21 and soon found out the harsh realities of life for a goalkeeper in football. “It’s hard knowing A-League clubs can only have two ‘keepers on their books at any one time,” he said. “They couldn’t sign me, so I had to go. “I came to Bentleigh to prove that I’m good enough for a spot in the A-League.” And prove that he has, with the FFA Cup giving Bray a chance to showcase just how good he is on the national stage. Arguably his finest moment came in the Round of 32 against Blacktown City, when his side was up 1-0 away from home and CONTINUED ON PAGE 16
It’d be good to be back training full time ... But you’ve got to just keep knocking on that door.
I love my job and I love Bentleigh, but the aspirations are always going to be there to play at a high level again.
15
I would definitely consider a return [to the A-League], no questions asked. These games are a great spotlight.
I had to come to Bentleigh and prove that I’m good enough to be in the A-League. I think I’m good enough, and this is my chance to be seen.
16
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 struggling to keep its opposition at bay. With five minutes to go of regular time, Blacktown’s Travis Major hit a fantastic effort from outside the box that seemed destined for the top corner. But at the last second, Bray produced a world-class save at full stretch to his right to deny Blacktown, and seal Bentleigh’s place in the final 16. Injury plagued another of Bentleigh’s former A-League players in Luke O’Dea. The forward played for Victory’s youth team between 2009 and 2013, made an A-League appearance, and even featured for the senior team in a friendly against David Beckham. He moved to the former Melbourne Heart in 2013, but a groin injury kept him restricted to just three appearances in the NYL that year. But despite the injury problems, Bentleigh has thrown O’Dea a lifeline and a chance to kickstart his career. Luke Pilkington and Liam McCormick are two names that might be familiar to Fox Sports viewers; the pair earned their A-League deals by winning reality television show Football Superstar. They both earned their stripes and proved they weren’t one-hit-wonders. McCormick played almost every game for Brisbane Roar’s NYL side during his year at the club, while Pilkington impressed so much he earned a year-long extension with the first team and made appearances in both the A-League and Asian Champions League. But they had a difficult task ahead of themselves to earn their spots in the team. “It was tough going up there because they had just won the grand final, the league, and actually won 34 games in succession,” McCormick said. “It was always going to be hard to make the
push up into the first team.” Despite the challenge to break into the first team, McCormick would still train with the seniors even though he was playing for the NYL side. But life was made more difficult for McCormick when he was forced to start on the bench for the NYL side when players from the first team dropped down. “It was [current Brisbane Roar captain] Matt Smith who took me aside and told me to keep my head up, keep working, and my time would come,” he said. “He wasn’t captain then, but I can see why he’s captain now.” But he relished the challenge, as did midfielder Luke Pilkington, who managed to break into the Melbourne Victory first team for a number of appearances. It was an environment he loved; training everyday as a full-time professional. “The difference between that and Bentleigh is that you come into training feeling fresh,” he said. “Where as you’ve got your full day’s work, and then you come into training after a hard day’s labour.” Pilkington moved to Melbourne from Canberra to take up the deal with Victory, and opted to stay in Melbourne to chase both a football career and work as a stockbroker. He said the motivation was still there to chase his footballing dreams, and the FFA Cup was the chance Pilkington and his teammates have been waiting for. “Would I consider a return to the A-League? Definitely,” he said. “These games are as great a spotlight as any, and if you perform on the day, there’s no reason someone can’t come knocking. “I can speak for everyone when I say we’re going to take this chance.” Alen Delic is FFV’s multimedia coordinator.

A test of a different nature They’ve been tested on the pitch over the last few weeks, but Sean Ellicott discovered a few of Bentleigh’s lads are in the middle of a different kind of test
FOR young Greens duo Nick Teichmann and Pat Avice, tonight’s semi-final isn’t the only test confronting them as the pair juggle life between football and exams. You won’t hear these two complaining about the heavy workload however, still counting their luck stars following Bentleigh’s awe-inspiring Westfield FFA Cup run. “[We’ve been training] three to four days a week with these games so it’s been pretty full on,” Teichmann, a 19-year-old law student at Victoria University, said. “I’ve got one more exam to go, had a couple of exams this week and last week so we are at the business end of it.” The winger made his breakthrough into the senior team midway through the PS4 National Premier Leagues 2014 campaign, attracting attention from Hyundai A-League side Melbourne City following a stellar 2014. “It’s been a surreal experience and something I’ll remember for many years, even just being a small part of it,” he said commenting on Bentleigh’s dream cup run. Studying though has taken a back seat for the first year university student, with football all but consuming his life. “I’ve been studying at home when I get a spare chance but (the FFA Cup) is definitely priority,” he said. Teammate and Year 12 student Patrick Avice also finds himself in a similar situation.
The Mazenod College graduate has currently completed all but one of his exams among the hype surrounding the FFA Cup. “One exam left and I’ve had five. It was crazy,” Avice said. “It’s pretty tough balancing soccer with studies and exams but I think I’ve managed to do pretty well and find a nice balance so that was good.” Having completed his English exam some eight hours earlier, the 18-year-old’s defining moment came a fortnight ago when he provided the assist for Jamie De Abreu’s 103rd minute winner against Adelaide City in the quarter-finals. There was no sticking around though for postmatch celebrations. The midfielder required an early night ahead of yet another exam the following morning. “The day of our match against Adelaide I had the English exam. I had the exam in the morning, had the game at night, then the next morning I had another exam, psychology at 9am,” he said. “I had to leave straight after the game to make sure I got a good night sleep, even though I didn’t. “I had so much adrenalin pumping through. “It was crazy.” Sean Ellicott is a freelance football writer.

When Jack met Andy Rumour has it Jack Webster used to clean Andy Keogh’s boots. Brandon Galgano finds out if there’s any truth to it, and more
DID any of you ever expect to have come this far in the tournament? I don’t think in the beginning any of us really appreciated just how important the cup could become and just how much attention it could bring to the club. I think it has been fantastic for the game in this state to have this opportunity to play on the national stage. It really is quite exciting to be playing in such a massive game on Tuesday night so it has most definitely been worth it. What do you guys make of your chances against Perth You have got to go into every game you play believing you can win and we definitely feel like with the way we play our game and how we have prepared that we can be more than just competitive against Perth.
He is obviously the main man for them so with him playing (against us) it is going to be a tough game but we are ready for the challenge. What was it that enticed you to move down under? One of the boys I played with back in Scunthorpe came down here before me and I kept in touch with him and in the end he asked if I wanted to come down to play here in Australia. I thought it would be a great to live in a place where the sun is shining and the football is good. I’ve loved my time down here and I think it’s for those reasons that so many guys are choosing to come down here.
Do you still have ambitions of playing professionally? I would love to get into the A-League. I You come up against former teammate Andy think any player who takes the game seriously Keogh from your time as a youngster at always wants to try and play at a higher level Scunthorpe United, is it true you used to and if a club came knocking I would jump at clean his boots? the chance to prove that I could play at that There is truth to that, as an apprentice in level. I think we have a few boys down here the first team I used to clean his boots and that are good enough to make the step up and I did watch him play a fair bit back in those I think we’re all keen to show that on Tuesday days so if he does play I guess I’ll just have to night. concentrate on doing my job and stopping Brandon Galgano is a freelance football him from scoring. I’m not sure if he would writer and goalkeeper for Malvern City. remember me now but he was a good guy and Follow him on Twitter: @bgalgano94 I’m looking forward to the challenge.

No easy games, says Lowe It’s one of the best starts Perth has had to a domestic season in its history, but the captain and coach both know there are no easy games
IT HAS been a long few days for Perth Glory, with the side clocking around 5,000km as they prepare for its date with Bentleigh. For the team’s last fixture against Central Coast on Sunday, it had to make the four-anda-bit hour flight across two time zones, before getting on a bus and making the extra hour’s drive up to Gosford. Glory did the job and came away with all three points courtesy of a Nebojsa Marinkovic wonder free-kick. They had the night off, and then on Monday got right back on the bus back to Sydney before boarding a flight to Melbourne. Glory defender and captain Michael Thwaite said it was going to be a tough trip, but the team would be motivated and up for the challenge. “It’s going to be tough on the legs,” Thwaite said. “For myself personally, 48 hours after the game is the peak of muscle soreness.” Travel fatigue and long trips are two things the team has gotten used to thanks to their long away trip to Wellington Phoenix. The 5255km trip to Wellington is the second longest trip in any domestic football league in the world. It is second to only a game in the Russian Second Division between Baltika Kaliningrad and Luch Energia Vladivostok at more than 7300km. Regardless of the distance involved, Twaite is confident of a performance from Glory, given
the side’s start to the season. Perth has been the surprise packet of this year’s A-League, with four wins from the first five games of the season. Its only loss has come at the hands of Adelaide United, which sits in equal second. Its road to the semi final of the Westfield FFA Cup hasn’t been easy either, having knocked out fellow A-League sides Newcastle Jets and Melbourne Victory, as well as a 4-1 win over NPL 1 side St Albans Saints. But despite the form the team is in, the skipper is keeping his team’s feet are firmly on the ground. “As players, we don’t really look at the stats,” he said. “We’ve set our goals very high this year. “It’s one thing we’re trying to change at the club - trying to build a winning mentality and change the overall culture of the club.” Coach Kenny Lowe said he’s also chuffed with the team’s start to the season, but knows it’s a long road ahead and the team has to keep grinding out results. He warned his side not to get complacent ahead of a potential banana skin. “If you can make it to the semi-finals of a cup you’re obviously doing something right,” Lowe said. “They will be at home and are flying the flag for Victoria as we are for WA. “It will be a difficult match; there is no such thing as an easy game.”
