‘... I’m sure most of us were still thinking of Jason and Steve, and hoping all would turn out well for them both ... ’ Josh Easby, the secretary of Cambridge Football Club, reflects on an eventful weekend ...  one of the joys of football is knowing you never get two weekends the same — there’s always something capable of surprising you. Last weekend was full of the unexpected. We knew it would be full on at John Kerkhof Park with four senior homes games, and three of them kicking off at the same 12.30pm. Four pitches, eight changing rooms, more than 120 people to be fed hot meals and all the usual gear and equipment to go out and come back in. Not to mention our extra requirements this year (under WaiBOP senior regulations)

to rope off pitch 2 for Championship and Division A games, and provide up to 18 seats in the newly–marked technical areas. Prepared as we were, fate stepped in. A lock broke on the door of dressing room 1, threatening to prevent Taupo from using it at half–time. When spare keys and an attempted lock pick by Harry Bomans, it was left to big Ali McQuarters to smash his way in (the repairs will be done later this week). Then the bad news of the day. Jason Waddell, a D2 player, had broken his leg on pitch 6. The game was abandoned and after a 50–minute wait, an ambulance took him to Waikato Hospital where he was kept overnight for an operation to set four breaks. His injury — his second broken leg in only five games for Cambridge — put everything else into perspective. That, and the news that chairman Steve Thomas had gone to hospital to be with son Oscar who needed an urgent operation. Watching the first team roll Tauranga City United 14–0 was rewarding, and hearing the women had beaten Otorohanga 10–1 was a joy. But I’m sure most of us were still thinking of Jason and Steve, and hoping all would turn out well for them both.

Scoreboard can’t keep up

ANOTHER Cambridge attack sees Danny Styles (left), Callum MacLeod, Tom Woutersen and skipper Patrick Woodlock queing to find the net in last Saturday’s 14–0 walkover at John Kerkhof Park. Photo: Josh Easby.

 Seventeen-year-old striker Callum MacLeod had a dream first team debut for Cambridge, scoring four goals as his side thrashed Tauranga City United 14-0. MacLeod was promoted to the first team after scoring a goal in the first few minutes of his senior debut the previous weekend when he played for Cambridge in the WaiBOP Championship. But stepping up to the WaiBOP Premiership held no fears for the youngster as he found the net in the 5th, 40th, 57th and 60th minutes and earned himself the Carters Cambridge Player of the Day. MacLeod is one of a number of Cambridge players who have come through the junior and youth ranks, and he won the Waikato/ Bay of Plenty Golden Boot last season for top scoring in the federation’s U-17 youth league won by Cambridge. For Cambridge, the win against Tauranga confirmed the club will be strong contenders to defend their WaiBOP Premiership title. Captain Patrick Woodlock put his side ahead after only two minutes and when MacLeod doubled the lead a few minutes

later, it was clear a rout was on the cards. In the same fixture last season, Cambridge won 8-0 – a scoreline that was believed to be a record margin for the previous decade at least. Saturday’s 14-goal walkover eclipsed that milestone with more goals coming from Woodlock (46th min), Jason Szabo (15th min, 53rd min), Jack Taylor (22nd min), Tom Woutersen (35th min, 37th min, 48th min), Adam Brady (82nd min) and Dan Podjursky (70th min).

ONLY a hastily–scribbled extra digit helps keep our scoreboard accurate as the score reaches 14.

All White legend visits John Kerkhof Park

A SURPRISE visitor to Cambridge’s John Kerkhof Park last weekend was former All Whites and Phoenix coach Ricki Herbert (second on left). Now the national coach of the Maldives, Herbert flew back to New Zealand in time to attend son Kale’s first senior coaching assignment as coach of WaiBOP Championship team Taupo. Kale (far right on the Taupo bench) won his first game in charge 4–0 against Cambridge, and the performance suggested Taupo will be title contenders. Both Kale and Ricki will be back at John Kerkhof Park from April 17–21 when the Ricki Herbert Football Academy holds its National Training Camp at our club.

Injury mars busy weekend  Our D2’s match against West Hamilton was abandoned at half-time last Saturday after the home side’s Jason Waddell broke his leg for the second time in a Cambridge shirt. After a 50-minute wait for an ambulance, Jason was taken to Waikato Hospital where he was kept overnight, awaiting an operation on Sunday to set four breaks in his leg. Thankfully, there was no compound fracture and Jason was philosphical about the injury which he said was accidental and “one of those things”. It’s Jason’s second spell with the club, having returned to training this season after breaking his leg three years ago in a match. “I’ve now played five games for Cambridge and broken my leg twice,” he said. The club wishes Jason a speedy recovery and hopes his third spell with Cambridge will be luckier for him. Meanwhile, he passed on his thanks to those who helped him. The club’s WaiBOP Championship team lost 4-0 to Taupo in a match watched by club visitor and former All Whites coach Ricki Herbert. In the other match at John Kerkhof Park, the D1 team beat Te Aroha Cobras 5-1 thanks to a

Dave O’Donnell hat-trick and goals from Dennis Hommel and Steve Finan. Meanwhile, Cambridge’s travelling teams had mixed fortunes with the Cambridge A losing 5-1 to local rivals Te Awamutu while the Cambridge C team drew 4-4 at Melville United. Cambridge’s women beat Otorohanga 10-1 at Domain Park last Sunday to make it two wins from two games for coach Andrew Taylor. Taylor Oosthuysen opened the scoring latching onto a cross from leading goal scorer Astrid Howarth who bagged four goals to add to her season’s tally, now six. The Cambridge backline led by Carey Ireland and Gemma Martin linked well with midfield duo Chrissy Goodin and Kaylee Oosthuysen. Kym Thomasen scored a brace from up front and assisted in four of the goals with Goodin also assisting in four. Kaylee Oosthuysen scored the final two and was vigilant as ever in creating abilities overall. Overall Cambridge came home with a very convincing 10-1 win, despite a late consolation goal for Otorohanga after a defensive slip–up, with the Cambridge Hire Player of the day going to a deserving Taylor Oosthuysen who scored twice.

30–goal weekend for Andy  CLUB STALWART Andy Taylor had mixed fortunes last weekend, featuring in three matches that had 30 goals scored in them. On Saturday, he captained the Championship team in their 4–0 loss to Taupo, before coming on as a sub in the first team’s 14–0 slating of Tauranga City United. On Sunday, he coached the women’s first team to a 10–1 win at Otorohanga. Surely, experiencing 30 goals in a weekend is some sort of record?

In 2013, the club won the Soccer Shop Waikato Plate and hosted premium events such as the Soccer Shop Waikato Cup Final, the Waikato v Bay of Plenty All Stars game, and the WaiBOP Women's All Stars v WaiBOP National League side. In late 2013, the club was appointed as the home ground for five ASB Premiership matches for new franchise WaiBOP United. This meant Cambridge became one of six bases for national league football in New Zealand (the others are Auckland, Napier, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin).

The appointment led to the club becoming an all-year operation, with investment in better facilities including upgraded playing surfaces, new changing rooms (scheduled for mid–2014) and a new irrigation system.  2014: The club's first team finished runners–up in the 2014 WaiBOP Federation Division 1, while the U-15 team won the Federation Youth League. Our women won the Waikato Women's Cup. The Cambidge Lacrosse Club moved its playing base to John Kerkhof Park in 2014. In 2014, the club won a series of high profile awards for its work in football and in the wider community. WaiBOP Football named the club its 2014 Club of the Year for its successful efforts to host ASP Premiership fixtures and other premium matches. Cambridge also won two WaiBOP Best Practice awards in 2014 (for building partnerships with sponsors, and for the participation of women at our club). The club was named Waipa District’s 2014 Supreme winner for the Truspower Community Awards, becoming only the second sports club to take this award. This

also led to the club’s nomination for the national Trustpower Community Awards to be held in Wellington in March 2015. Cambridge completed its hat-trick of major awards in 2014, being named Waipa District’s Sports Club of the Year. We were finalists in the Waikato Sports Club of the Year while chairman Greg Zeuren was named Sports Administrator of the Year for both Waipa and the Waikato in 2014.  2015: As the club entered its 68th season, it did so as an all–year operation, providing winter football for 600+ players, spring/early summer 5-a-side football for social players and acting as a base for national league summer football. It continued to make history — on February 6, 2015, it staged the first game of beach football by women played to FIFA rules and pitch standards in New Zealand, at the Karapiro Sandcourts. In March 2015, construction began of the club’s $200,000 extension to its changing rooms, providing six more sets of showers/ changing rooms for local and visiting players. On 25 May 2015, the club staged its first ever international match when Fiji and Hungary came to Cambridge for an U–20

international as preparation for the FIFA U–20 World Cup tournament. In July 2015, our club was awarded the Quality Club Mark by New Zealand Football, becoming only the fourth club in our region to achieve the 1 Star status, and becoming one of fewer than 30 clubs throughout the contry to earn the QCM.  Our players Probably the club's best known past player is New Zealand international striker Chris Wood who joined English Championship club Leeds United for $4.6 million from Leicester City in July 2015. Wood made his senior debut at Cambridge as a 14–year–old, having previously played for our juniors. Another former New Zealand international is Maria Anderton, who played for the Football Ferns in 1987, and captained the Cambridge women’s A team for 12 seasons until her retirement as a player in 2014.  Life Members Elected life members: Vic Butler, W.J.Sugden, Bert van Doorne, Eric Sugden, John Kerkhof, Alan Busst, Harry Bekkers, Hans Rakely, Rod Larnach, Kerry Dauphin, Bill Brown, Robert Bradley, Peter Martens.

Programme cuts injury risk  CAMBRIDGE FC are getting behind a warm–up programme that has been proven to reduce the risk of injuries by 30%. It’s the FIFA 11+ Complete Warm-Up Programme for youth and senior players and Senior Men’s Club Captain Lee Turpett and U–13 youth coach Steve Thomas recently attended a NZ Football–WaiBOP Football workshop to learn how it works. The programme has direct performance benefits for footballers — making fitter, faster and more agile players as well as reducing the risk of all injuries by 30%. It is designed to be delivered by coaches, is easy to learn and implement into existing training sessions and completion of the course results in FIFA 11+ certification in as

little as two hours. The All Whites and Football Ferns have been using FIFA 11+ for some time and all the ASB Premiership teams undertook to use it last summer season. WaiBOP Football plans to encourage all 106 affiliated clubs and schools to adopt the programme, and is running workshops to team club representatives how to use it. So what is FIFA 11+? “The programme takes 15–20 minutes to do and is designed to replace a standard warm–up,” explains NZ Football’s doctor, Mark Fulcher. “If it is done twice a week, it reduces the risk of injury by 30% and the risk of severe injury by 50%. These are things like an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury in the knee.”
