‘... the real test is whether youngsters from provincial New Zealand can reach the heights of their sport ... ’ Josh Easby, the secretary of Cambridge Football Club, will be watching the Ferns closely ... LESS THAN three years ago, our women’s team were privileged to play at Rotorua Stadium in the curtain–raiser for a match between Wellington Phoenix and an All Whites XI. It was a wonderful occasion, with about 3,500 spectators filling the stadium by the time our women’s match against Rotorua United was heading for the final whistle. Not surprisingly, some of our players — even the more experienced among them — felt the nerves, and took a while to settle into their play. Not so for a 13–year–old girl who was

playing on the right wing for Rotorua that day. Dwarfed by the older players, she weaved her way through our defence, turning her markers and sending cross after cross into the box. Even then we knew she would be special. Her name is Paige Satchell and in two weeks, she’ll be the youngest player in the Football Ferns as they take on the world’s best at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The fact that a youngster from Rotorua can play her way from the local leagues and into the national squad is heartening. Much is said about “development pathways” but the real test is whether youngsters from provincial New Zealand can reach the heights of their sport. Paige has done it. Chris Wood, who played his junior football with Cambridge, has done it. I’m looking forward to watching the Ferns and hoping Paige gets a run. New Zealand have a tough group, facing current world champions United States, the world’s third– ranked team, France, and Colombia. One thing we can be confident of — Paige will take the occasion in her stride.

Funder helps club replace much-need playing kit OUR PLAYERS have benefitted this
season from a grant of $9,591 from Trillian Trust, providing training and match balls for junior and senior teams. Trillian Trust’s grant helped purchase training equipment such as bibs and cones, and made a significant contribution to the costs of running our club for more than 700 players, aged from 4 to 60+. We are grateful to the trust, which has also become a key funder of football’s national league and which has been supportive of our club in past seasons. Last season, the trust helped our club buy training balls and sets of new corner flags, as well as helping our U-19 squad participate at
the national youth tournament in Napier. Trillian Trust venues in our area include The Clubhouse Sports Bar at the Cambridge Raceway in Taylor St, and the Prince Albert Tavern in Victoria St.

Big Ali takes a tumble ALISTAIR MCQUARTERS headed to Cambridge FC’s John Kerkhof Park last Saturday for a “quiet day” at the club. While helping partner Michaela McQuarters cook hot meals for six senior teams, “Big Ali” planned to help the home teams prepare for their matches and to greet visiting teams in his rostered role as the club’s matchday manager. But the D1s were short of a goalkeeper – and Ali agreed to step into the breach to play his first match in many weeks. He played a blinder, repelling many Northern United attacks, until he tumbled to the ground with a bad injury with 15 minutes to go. Leaving the ground for treatment, it turned out to be a dislocated shoulder, requiring a careful repositioning of the errant joints and a sling that looks remarkably small on the big man. The club wishes Ali all the best for a speedy recovery – and the D1s are grateful for his offer to pull on the ‘keeper shirt.

Katikati are relative newcomers to the Loaded WaiBOP Premiership, having won promotion two season ago when taking the Federation 2 title. With the Stollery brothers, Dane and Troy, leading the goalscoring charge, Katikati looked likely to go unbeaten through 2014 with 14 consecutive wins. Despite losing their last two games, Katikati’s performance was enough to ensure promotion. Last season, Katikati consolidated their Premiership status with a 10th placing and showed they could match any team on their day. With Dane Stollery and Richard James leading the goalscoring this season, Katikati remain in the lower half of the table but can never be taken lightly. We welcome them to our club.

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.
