‘The past summer, was our busiest yet, and confirmed we are now an all–year operation ...’ Josh Easby, the secretary of Cambridge Football Club, introduces a new season ... Our club goes into the 2015 winter season with optimism and the knowledge we’re making big progress on and off the pitch. We’re fielding double the number of senior sides we fielded only six years ago — and we are finally getting the quality of facilities required for a club of our size. The $200,000 extension to our facilities will provide six new changing rooms with toilets and showers, the result of many years’ fundraising and planning. In recent years, our ability to grow and perform at a high level of competition was hamstrung by facilities that struggled to

keep pace with our needs. But over the past three years, we have upgraded our showers, toilets, bar and kitchen facilities and generally improved the comforts of our clubrooms. Now we’re benefitting from our efforts to grow the club’s revenue from hosting regional and national football events, as well as helping other sports groups such as rowing and waka ama. After our first summer hosting ASB Premiership games, we invested the proceeds into upgrading our premium pitch and by installing a much–need irrigation system. The past summer, was our busiest yet, and confirmed we are now an all–year operation. We successfully hosted five more WaiBOP United games (with the second highest average attendances in the league), had record numbers taking part in our weekly five–a–side league and staged successful sevens tournaments for men and women. Now we get down to the serious business of supporting our first team as they campaign to take the WaiBOP Premiership title and with it, the chance to earn promotion to the Northern League. Good luck to the players and coaching team — we’re right behind you!

‘If you can’t dream of glory at the start of the season, there’s something wrong ...’
Shield goes on the line The WaiBOP Challenge Shield hangs proudly on the wall of our clubrooms at John Kerkhof Park — but for how much longer? The nature of the competition rules around the shield make it a tough trophy to defend. Every time we play at home, the shield goes up for grabs, regardless of how well we’re prepared and how many players are on the injured list. And so it should be. The purpose of the shield is to add spice to
Jason Chewins ... back at Cambridge RED: The matchday magazine of Cambridge FC
WaiBOP Football’s top league competition, and it makes for exciting football when teams know what’s at stake. This weekend’s visitors, Tauranga Old Blues, went close to taking the shield away from John Kerkhof Park almost a year ago to the day. Leading 1–0 as the game entered added time, Glen Carmichael scrambled home an equaliser in front of the crowded clubrooms to earn a draw — enough to retain the shield. The Cambridge team were rightly proud of their record last season when they started the year with the shield (due to holder Whakatane Town’s withdrawal from the top division), and they finished the season with the shield (despite losing it briefly to Taupo). Potentially, our boys need to go unbeaten in 11 home games this season to retain the shield for another summer. It would be nice to have to return the shield by winning promotion to the Northern League ... but that’s the stuff football dreams are made of. Some excellent summer signings, spearheaded by the return to Cambridge of ex–pro Jason Chewins, have given the club hope of a decent crack at the WaiBOP Premiership title. Two wins from two games away, and now the boys play in front of their home support. If you can’t dream of glory at the start of the season, there’s something wrong!

Our club’s most successful year Cambridge Football Club has swept a number of prestigious awards in the past year — a period called the club’s “golden season” by the Cambridge Edition. The club was named WaiBOP Football’s Club of the Year for 2014, chosen from the region’s 106 affiliated clubs. The honour reflected the work by Cambridge’s army of volunteers to not only provide football for its own members but also to stage regional and national events for the sport. These include hosting WaiBOP–run coaching courses and game days for youngsters, as well as being the home ground for ASB Premiership side WaiBOP United. Cambridge is one of six bases for national league football (the others are Auckland, Napier, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin). Cambridge was named the 2014 Waipa District Sports Club of the Year and was a finalist in the Waikato Sports Club of the Year. Its chairman, Greg Zeuren, was named Administrator of the Year for both Waipa District and for the Waikato, for his leadership of the club’s committee. The club was also awarded the Supreme Award for the Waipa District’s Trustpower Community Awards, becoming only the second sports club to take the trophy which recognises services to the local community. Our club was a finalist at the national RED: The matchday magazine of Cambridge FC
Trustpower Community Awards held in Wellington in late March. Cambridge also won two WaiBOP Football Best Practice awards. Success has not just come off the pitch. Our senior men’s first team won the Federation Challenge Shield last year and goes into 2015 as the holder. The team were runners–up in the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Federation Division 1. Our women’s first team won the Waikato Women’s Cup, beating the previously unbeaten Claudelands Rovers 2–1 in the final. Our Under 15 boys’ youth team won the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Nike Cup tournament, a feat repeated this year. The side also won the WaiBOP Federation U–15 Youth League.

CLUB NEWS Cambridge’s Robbie Greenhalgh has won the WaiBOP United Supporters’ Player of the Year award after an outstanding summer season in football’s top level domestic competition. Greenhalgh (29) surprised some football followers with his selection to the WaiBOP team which plays several levels of competition higher than his Cambridge club team. But after playing in all WaiBOP United’s ASB Premiership fixtures, Greenhalgh comfortably won the player’s award which was decided on votes cast from supporters. Greenhalgh has already started his winter season as a player/coach with Cambridge in the WaiBOP Premiership, and coaches the St Peter’s School second XI. A New Zealand Under 17 international, Greenhalgh played for top Auckland clubs

Time to farewell an old friend
The old logo ... and the new version. After many years of use, the club has decided to ‘retire’ the old black and white logo that has adorned thousands of shirts. With the club entering a new age with better facilities and a higher public profile, the club’s committee decided to review use of the club’s logo, making use of the professional
RED: The matchday magazine of Cambridge FC
skills of Jet Creative’s Geoff Wheeler, who serves on the committee. After much work, and after creating versions of the logo for use on different backgrounds, the committee opted for the stylised red, white and black version that appears for the first time in this weekend’s matchday magazine. The committee wanted a logo that was contemporary, made use of the club’s traditional red colours and that would be adaptable when used in different ways — from use on websites to being worn with pride on club kit and apparel. The building of our changing room extensions and the imminent purchase of new apparel prompted the decision to introduce the new logo for the 2015 season.

Old Blues FC was founded 13 years ago, the brain child of Steve Worlsey and John Cooper who were discussing the possibility of entering a team of mates into the local leagues. From those beginnings the club has slowly grown until the point it now has five teams covering all skill levels and genders The club achieved its biggest success when winning the 2011 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Federation Division 1. The side challenged for a place in the Northern League but was beaten in the play– offs by Manukau City who then replaced Cambridge in the competition. Old Blues finished 6th on the 2014 table, and almost took the WaiBOP Challenge Shield from Cambridge, leading until added time when the home side levelled.
