OямГcial match programme of WaiBOP United

Home on The Range Editorial comment — Josh Easby

With five games to go, WaiBOP United fans are in for a thrilling finish to the season. With the ASB Premiership table the tightest it's been in years — or, arguably, since the competition began — every team except bottom–placed Southern United has a chance of making the play–offs. It's become difficult to classify results as "upsets" because every team this summer has been capable of taking points from each other. No side has developed a stronger reputation for refusing to give up than our own WaiBOP United. In their last three wins, the side has conceded the first goal but still come back to take victory. Against Canterbury United, the side trailed three times but still got home. That takes a special spirit and our players seem to have it in spades. It's now up to us on the sidelines to show similar spirit in the way we support the team, as the season comes down to the business end. At the two Cambridge home games, a bond has been growing between crowd and the players, a sign of acceptance and pride in what our region is achieving. But tonight we face the challenge of meeting the current champions, a side who only weeks ago were playing before crowds of more than 30,000 in Morocco. Auckland City have set the standards for club football in this country since this iteration of the national league launched in 2004. Our players get the chance tonight to show what they can do against the team regarded as the benchmark. 2

Josh Easby is the co–editor of The Range and is secretary of the Cambridge Football Club

Auckland's fans are also the most vocal and openly supportive of their side in the competition. Tonight gives a midweek home crowd the chance to show we can out sing and out chant the visiting supporters. The WaiBOP players have been saying recently how much they've been lifted by the home support. It's fuelled their desire to give of their best, especially late in the game. Let's make tonight special ...

From the Dug Out A coach’s perspective — Peter Smith

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to John Kerkhof Park for what is undoubtedly one of the highlights of our home schedule. I probably don’t need to remind anyone that this evening’s visitors, Auckland City Football Club, continue to set the standard for the domestic game in New Zealand. Their efforts in Morocco were, of course, a highlight but that was no accident. They are an incredibly well run organisation and have led the way for over a decade. As for us, we’re on a decent run. The lads are playing well and we’re getting the results our performances deserve.

Peter Smith is in his second season as Head Coach of WaiBOP United.

That’s not always the case in football, so it’s important we focus only on the next game, trust in the system and keep fighting for each other. We learnt a lot from our fixture at Kiwitea Street a few weeks ago. It’s so important to keep focussed as the best teams will punish you if you switch off. Auckland is one of the best so we’ll find out tonight if we’ve learnt our lessons.

Danyon Drake Profiling our goalkeeper — Bruce Holloway

Photo: Grant Stantiall

Bruce Holloway , chairman of Melville Utd, has been following national league teams for nearly 40 years

At 21 (and 6 foot 2 inches in the old money), Danyon Drake is one of the younger goalkeepers on the national league scene. And while this is his first season as a first– choice keeper, he actually made his debut as an 18–year–old back in the middle of the 2011–12 season for Waikato FC, away to Waitakere United. While Waikato lost that one 4–1, Danyon still considers it his most memorable match. “Some players take the national league for granted, but it is the highest domestic level, and am really humble to have got my chance so young,” he said. “It was a special time.” Age–wise Danyon is eligible for the 2016 Rio Olympic squad (U23) but knows the competition will be tough against the likes of Max Crocombe (Oxford United), Scott

Basalaj (Partick Thistle), Oliver Sail (Phoenix), and Matt Gould (Cheltenham). In the interim he’s happy getting regular game time at national league level, where he can best make his case by being part of a team which has become hard to beat. He turned to goalkeeping as a 15–year– old, with the key influences on his career being dad Paul (member of the WaiBOP coaching staff ), who has coached him since he could walk, and mum Liz. “Mum has been important with the psychological factors, in helping me deal with my setbacks. Psychology is a massive part of goalkeeping, and while you try to limit your mistakes, how you manage your disappointments and bounce back is a big part of the game. You have to be strong mentally.” Also influential in his early years was current Phoenix goalkeeping coach Jonathan Gould, who used to be based at Hawke’s Bay, while as far as goalkeeping role models are concerned, he’s keen on Spurs custodian Hugo Lloris (despite himself being a Newcastle United fan). Danyon’s career to date has taken him from Taupo to a brief stint at Wanderers, then Te Awamutu, Ngaruawahia, Melville, and back to Ngaruawahia, while at national league level he also had a summer with Hawke’s Bay as well as Waikato and WaiBOP.

THE RANGE: Official Matchday Magazine of WaiBOP United

One of Danyon’s critical interventions this summer was his penalty save against Team Wellington’s Cole Peverley in WaiBOP’s last home match, which was vital in securing a key victory. It helped that he had some inside knowledge. The pair used to hang out together at Hawke’s Bay, where they often did penalty routines on Friday nights. “I remember Cole telling me his favourite

side — so I dived to my left.” Danyon is currently working as a painter (for former Waikato and Auckland City veteran Matt Williams) though is toying with studying psychology in the near future. And if he wasn’t a goalkeeper, what position would he fancy playing? “Centre midfield. Chad Coombes and Robbie Greenhalgh would certainly have to work for their spots.”

Ever wondered what goes on in the dressing room before teams are ready for action in the ASB Premiership? In WaiBOP United's case, team manager Seamus Marten ensures players' kits are set out (above) and sometimes adds a motivational message to remind the squad of key messages. He ensures there's plenty of liquids to help players hydrate properly before kick off while physio Hamish Ashton gets to work on muscles, preparing players for the hard work ahead. Routine has been a key feature of WaiBOP United's plan this summer, including pre–match team meals and dressing room management. Photo: Grant Stantiall

Football Dad The wet socks

Football Dad’s foot stank. Hunched in a kitchen chair, he slowly peeled off a mud–and–water–soaked Merino sock. “Yuck,” he muttered, followed quickly by a word that rhymed with multiple meanings. “We wonnnnnnnn!!!!!!” screamed the Youngest One, tearing through the kitchen faster than she had moved all morning. “Maaaaammmmaaaaaaa…….we won, and I scored a goal!!!!!! And I smashed this really horrible girl in a tackle!” The stinky sock was down past Football Dad’s ankle. The dog — believed responsible for the six bite marks in Football Dad’s left gumboot — was nowhere to be seen. “I scored a gooaaaaaaalllllllll!” The excited girl ran through the house again, slid across the kitchen floor, and in one motion swung open the fridge door, grabbing the 2–litre juice bottle just a little too precariously for Football Dad’s liking. Football Mum appeared at the kitchen door, looking puzzled. “Really?” whispered Football Mum. “She scored a goal? Really?” Football Dad nodded, half–smiling. They’d spoken about it the night before, in bed. Neither parent thought she was capable, not in her first game anyway. “Won’t happen,” Football Mum had said. “Not from what I have seen.” “Seriously, odds are massive,” Football Dad had chuckled. “She only managed one in 10 attempts against the ‘keeper at training last night.” An excited, confident, glowing, beautiful 9–year–old slammed the fridge door with

added conviction, grabbing a banana from a bowl. “You owe me 20 bucks,” she said, pointing an accusatory banana at Football Dad. “You said yesterday morning… ‘$20 if you score on debut, darling’…you did, you did, you said that.” The wet sock hit the floor with a squelch. To Football Dad — hangover downgraded to a seven out of 10 — it still sounded like a sonic boom. “Did you not think I could do it, Dad?” That question. And then the eyes. A lump in the throat. “Shower time for goal–scorers,” said Football Mum, shepherding the mud–caked child down the hallway. “C’mon dear.” The Eldest One emerged at the other end of the kitchen, clad in a dressing gown and towelling her hair. “How does a kid with two left feet score?” she hissed, oozing teenage bad attitude. “I set up three goals for Charlotte today. Third one, she had nothing on without me giving her that perfect pass outside the box.” Football Dad groaned. “Sweetheart….,” he started. “She’s nine. It’s her first game. Be kind. Don’t let your frustrations ruin her day.” The Eldest One changed the subject, embarrassed. “I scored a goooooallllllll!” came the muffled cry from the bathroom, inserting itself boldly into the conversation.

“I need new boots,” the teenager demanded. “There are some new Nike Mercurial out, and oh Dad…they perfectly match my strip.” Football Dad groaned again, cast off a damp jacket, followed by a sweater, and further down the hall, his pants. The Eldest One took her chance to groan.

“Ewww, Dad, that’s gross! Yucky yucky yucky” “I need sleep….the boots…,” he mumbled, stalled. “Go with your mother. I must sleep. Get your sister her $20.” From the bathroom, another yelp: “A goallllllllllll! I scored a goal….. yeeeeyahhhhhh!”

New CEO eager to learn While Mark is from the local area, he is new to the sport of football and is extremely keen to understand the dynamics and work through the priorities. "That’s why it’s so important I talk with as many coaches, players, administrators and supporters as possible,” said Mark. “These people are the heart of our game and I need to know what’s working well for them and how we, as a Federation, can help make a difference. "There are certainly challenges ahead, but exciting times too. I’m looking forward to it all.”

New WaiBOP Football CEO, Mark Christie, (above) has been in the role for barely two and a half weeks, but he already has a feeling for the potential of football in the Waikato Bay of Plenty region and, indeed, throughout the country. “It seems I’ve spent most of my time meeting and talking with passionate people,” chuckled Mark during some rare down time. “And that’s just with staff and people directly employed in the game. "One of my key tasks now will be to get out and about within our region to meet and build relationships with the people who really make football happen.” 8

Today’s Visitors Success brings new challenges for heroes of Morocco

Auckland City's heroics at the FIFA Club World Cup in Morocco have given the ASB Premiership a welcome boost, raising awareness of the quality of players competing in the competition. But the international interest in the team's achievement of finishing third — missing out on a dream final against Real Madrid by a whisker — has given the club the challenge of keeping a stable squad. Offers of contracts abroad have understandably led to change with striker Emiliano Tade the first to leave, signing for Club Atletico de Mitre, his home–town club in Argentina. All White Tim Payne has lined up trials with MLS side Portland Timbers in the United States. Striker Fabrizio Tavano is trialing with Club De Futbol Tigre in Mexico, a club in the top tier of Mexican football (Liga MX) and league champions as recently as 2011. Defender John Irving has trialled with English side Portsmouth and will reportedly return for another spell in July. Such is the experience and talent in the squad, City coach Ramon Tribulietx is confident he can steer his way through any changes. "It's going to make it very hard but it's the way it is," he said. "On the one hand, we are delighted for these players that they get to fulfil their professional dreams. "On the other hand, it's very difficult to lose key players at this stage of the season, especially with our structures and the way we play. It's not that easy for someone else to slot in."

THE COACH — Ramon Tribulietx Tribulietx is in his fourth season in full charge of Auckland City and can rightly claim to be the most successful club coach in our sport's history. The Spaniard arrived in New Zealand in 2008 and after spells as an assistant (to Paul Posa) and as co–coach (with Aaron McFarland), he got the chance to put into action is philosophy of passing and possession footall. ALL WHITE TO WATCH — Ivan Vicelich Auckland City skipper Ivan Vicelich is New Zealand's most capped international player with 88 appearances in an All Whites shirt. The 38–year–old defensive midfielder has won almost every New Zealand honour possible with four ASB Chatham Cup wins, three ASB Premiership championships and four Oceania Club championships. He was named Oceania Footballer of the Year in 2009 and was the New Zealand International Player of the Year in 2002. He was a member of the All Whites squad that was unbeaten at the 2010 World Cup Finals in South Africa. He capped all of these achievements in December when he was awarded the Bronze Ball in Morocco, being judged the tournament's third best player behind greats Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo, and then being awarded the New Zealand Order of Merit in the New Year Honours.

Our Chosen Charity WaiBOP United backs Macular Degeneration New Zealand

WaiBOP United is pleased to announce that Macular Degeneration New Zealand (MDNZ) is the charity the franchise will support during the 2014/15 ASB Premiership season. Macular Degeneration causes progressive loss of central vision but the peripheral vision is not affected. It is the leading cause of severe vision loss. One in seven people over the age of 50 years is affected in some way and the incidence increases with age. The macula is the central part of the retina, the light–sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The retina processes all visual images. It is responsible for your ability to read, recognise faces, drive and see colours clearly. WaiBOP United will promote awareness of Macular Degeneration within the football community. “We hope that off the back of whatever profile our club is able to build we can help raise awareness of what Macular Degeneration is and how people can get tested,” says Dwayne Barlow, WaiBOP United’s Communications Manager. “This is something that has the potential to cause functional blindness and yet is easily treated if detected early enough.” Macular Degeneration is thought to be caused by genetic and environmental 10

factors. People over the age of 50 years are at risk. If you smoke or have a family history of Macular Degeneration, your risk of developing the disease is much greater. Amsler Grid The Amsler grid is a useful tool to detect vision problems resulting from damage to the macula (the central part of the retina). How to do it: 1. Cover one eye, then focus on the dot in the centre. 2. Do any of the lines look wavy, blurred or distorted? 3. Are there any missing areas or dark areas in the grid? 4. Don't forget to test both eyes. 5. If you see wavy, broken or distorted lines, or blurred or missing areas of vision, you may be displaying the symptoms of Macular Degeneration. Contact your doctor or optometrist immediately. For more information we encourage everyone to visit www.mdnz.org.nz.

FIFA U–20 World Cup Counting down to football's big event

Spectators at FIFA U–20 World Cup games at Hamilton's Waikato Stadium may well get the chance to see a future superstar in action. The four teams drawn to play group games in Hamilton are Portugal, Colombia, Qatar and an African nation, still to be determined through qualification games. The three confirmed nations coming to our region all have exciting players on the books of some of the world's biggest and best known clubs. Portugal have players from domestic giants Benfica and Porto, two who play for Barcelona's second string and two who are with English clubs Liverpool and Manchester City but are currently on loan to other sides. Colombia's midfield star Juan Fernando Quintero has already played 11 full internationals for his country, including a goalscoring effort against Ivory Coast at last year's World Cup in Brazil.

Hamilton's Waikato Stadium (right) will host eight matches during the 2015 FIFA U–20 World Cup

Only 1.68m (5'6") he's been compared to Lionel Messi, and he plays for Portugese side Porto so will face some of his clubmates when the Colombians meet Portugal in Hamilton. Qatar's squad includes players with Spanish clubs such as Villarreal, Real Sociedad, Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid, while four members turn out for Belgian side K.A.S. Eupen and one defender is with Scottish champions Celtic. New Zealand will play Ukraine, the United States and Myanmar in Group A in Auckland. Darren Bazeley’s side will open the event against Ukraine on May 30 at QBE Stadium. Hamilton's first games will kick off on May 31.

ASB Premiership Wrap Latest action from the league

Auckland City come to John Kerkhof Park as the ASB Premiership leaders after securing a 3–0 win against nearest rivals Team Wellington on Sunday. Wellington's Cole Peversley missed a sixth minute penalty — his second miss in as many games — and Auckland took advantage two minutes later when John Irving scored from the spot. New signing Ivan Carril doubled the lead soon after with a free kick and that's how the scored stayed till the dying minutes when Oscar Garcia added a third with his first goal for the Navy Blues. The win was Auckland's sixth in a row and moves the team four points clear. Meanwhile, Wanderers SC beat Canterbury United 4–1 in Christchurch. Clayton Lewis opened the scoring in the first half before Judd Baker, Andre de Jong and Regent Murati added goals in the second spell. Canterbury recovered a consolation goal late in the game through substitute Mario Hoffman before top scorer Aaron Clapham had a penalty saved by Wanderers' 'keeper Damian Hirst. Hawke's Bay United moved into third place with an exciting 3–2 victory over

Waitakere United at Napier's Bluewater Stadium. Nathaniel Bowen gave Waitakere an eighth minute lead but Sean Lovemore levelled for the Bay soon after. Lovemore added his second in the 49th minute and on the hour, Alex Palezevic made it 3–1. But Waitakere reduced the lead to 3–2 through Bowen's second goal. Lovemore was denied a hat-trick when his 85th minute penalty was saved by goalkeeper Daniel Robinson. Waitakere had two players, Godwin Darkwa and All White David Mulligan, sent off during the game. Bay of Plenty–born former Waikato FC player Tyler Boyd was the individual star of the weekend, scoring four in Wellington Phoenix's 6–2 win against Southern United. Tom Jackson had given Southern a 2–0 half–time lead but All White Boyd led the comeback, with other goals from Nathaniel Hailemariam and Alex Rufer.
