‘... who is to say the next Messi isn’t already kicking a ball around our junior fields ... ’ Josh Easby, the secretary of Cambridge Football Club, finds the football world is shrinking ... LIVING IN a small town, even as idyllic as Cambridge, can lull you into thinking we’re far from the main stages of world football. Occasionally, events or players act as reminders that a club like our’s is not so far from the big time after all. This month, we’ve watched former Cambridge junior Chris Wood captain the All Whites at the Oceania Nations Cup (even if he missed the final through controversial circumstances!). No sooner had that tournament ended than Euro 2016 launched itself onto our

television screens for the best part of a month. It didn’t take long to see familiar faces. The manager of Hungary, surprise victors over Austria in their opening game, was Bernd Storck, coach of the Hungarian squad who visited John Kerkhof Park a year ago for a FIFA U–20 World Cup warm–up match against Fiji. In the squad was midfielder Adam Nagy, a youngster who also played in Cambridge. Now we’re about to see friend–of–the– club and former Cambridge junior Jamie Woodlock head to Holland for a chance to play youth football with Premier League club Go Ahead Eagles. We’ll be following his progress , urging him on to bigger things ... and knowing he too has a Cambridge connection. Over the past year, our committee has been working on a new strategic plan. In one of the sessions, someone came up with the line: “We want players to succeed because they came from Cambridge, not despite coming from Cambridge.” The football world is proving ever closer. Who is to say the next Messi isn’t already kicking a ball around our junior fields?

Strength between the sticks IN RECENT YEARS, Cambridge have been traditionally strong with their senior men’s and women’s goalkeepers. Our current crop of custodians are playing a key part in helping our teams play at top level. The gloves have been worn in our men’s first team by Fraser Nicholls and Rex Fowler this year, demonstrating the notion that good goalkeepers come in pairs if they can drive each other on at training. In our women’s team, captain Jen Hull is in her fifth season with the club, having missed only one match during that time. Up-and-coming ‘keepers like Patrick Espin and Cole Given are getting their chance in our WaiBOP Championship and Waikato A teams, proving there’s depth in the position. A key factor in the club’s development has
been goalkeeper coach Kim Brierley, who moved his Just4Keepers Academy to John Kerkhof Park three years ago. Having a dedicated and experienced specialist coach has proven to be highly successful for the club and Brierley is now making his skills available to promising goalkeepers in our junior ranks. He’s running a weekly development programme for keen goalkeepers with more than a dozen signing up to hone their skills. If you are interesting in developing as a goalkeeper, or are the parent of a potential goalkeeper, please contact Kim on mobile 021 2351323 or email him at info@ just4keepers.co.nz.
Women challenge for title CAMBRIDGE ARE in a three–way struggle for the Waikato Women’s League title after a string of wins, the latest being a 2–1 win against Hamilton Wanderers. With the league reaching its halfway mark, Cambridge, Melville United and Tokoroa have pulled clear at the top of the table, with the Reds sitting in third spot. Last Sunday, goals from leading goalscoer Astrid Howarth and Rachel Westend secured three points against Wanderers, ensuring the
side will stay in the title hunt. Cambridge drew earlier in the programme with Melville but lost to Tokoroa. Coach Andrew Taylor and his young side will now look to maintain their winning form for what looks like an exciting finish to the league season.

Hungarian star’s link to Cambridge A YOUNG HUNGARIAN footballer who
played in Cambridge a year ago is a surprise star at the Euro 2016 Championships in France. Adam Nagy visited Cambridge for a friendly match against Fiji as part of Hungary’s preparation for the FIFA U-20 World Cup being staged in New Zealand. Following a strong performance in New Zealand, Nagy won his way into the full Hungarian national side. Nagy and his U-20 team mates beat Fiji 7-0 in a match staged by Cambridge Football Club on May 25 last year, the first time the club had hosted an international match. In their preview of Euro 2016, British newspaper the Guardian picked Nagy to be the surprise success of the tournament. “The young defensive midfielder has a great work rate and is good at intercepting passes and starting attacks,” the paper said. Hungary started Euro 2016 strongly with a 2–0 win against Austria and a 1–1 draw with Iceland.

Waikato Unicol was founded in 1960, originally as Teachers College. The name changed to Teachers Varsity in 1969. In 1977, the name changed again, to Waikato University College, following a committee meeting at the Hillcrest Tavern though the club effectively traded as Waikato Unicol. In 1978 Unicol won the Northern League Division Four (South). Their highest finishing place was third in the Northern League Second Division in 1985. In this fixture last year, Cambridge scored a dramatic 3–2 win with a Glen Carmichael winning goal in the third minute of added time, a victory that secured the WaiBOP Premiership. Unicol got a measure of revenue, beating Cambridge 2-1 in the 2016 season opener.

In 2012, Cambridge FC announced that John Kerkhof Park would also become the home base for Cambridge Baseball Club. 2013: Cambridge FC and the neighbouring Cambridge Harriers and Athletics Club began a partnership, enabling the football club to play some games at the adjacent athletics track while it developed John Kerkhof Park. 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.
