Daniel McBreen’s classy 70th

minute strike ensured the Central Coast Mariners won their fi rst home game of the season 1-0 over Perth Glory at Bluetongue Stadium on Sunday, October 14.

Having come on just seven minutes earlier for hardworking young marksman Mitchell Duke, McBreen fi red past former Mariners’ custodian Danny Vukovic to earn the home team a narrow, but ultimately deserved victory.

In front of 9,192 fans, the Mariners looked resplendent in all pink kits as they ran out in perfect conditions for football at Gosford’s idyllic bayside arena.

Their one-off look was to help promote Pink Ribbon Day to be held on Monday, October 22, and seemed to win the support of the home faithful with hundreds of afi cionados arriving at the ground decked out in their own unique pink attire.

The opening half of the game was a tussle, with neither side able to craft many clear cut opportunities to open the scoring.

Veteran defender Patrick Zwaanswijk had a good chance to open his account for the season and put the Mariners ahead, however, his low drive from a free kick in the 23rd minute was well saved by Vukovic.

In the 32nd minute, it

was Glory who were on the attack via another former Mariners favourite Dean Heffernan.

Sharp goalkeeping from Mathew Ryan, however, thwarted the Perth raid.

Just before the half-time break, impressive defender Trent Sainsbury headed over the cross bar from a Mile Sterjovski free kick.

The second stanza was a more entertaining affair, with the pace quickening and both teams looking more likely to break the deadlock.

Sterjovski was proving an infl uential fi gure against his former Club as he combined down the right side with Duke on numerous occasions.

But in the 68th minute, all nearly went awry for the home team.

A lapse in concentration by captain John Hutchinson let in the Glory who powered forward, however, Sainsbury’s timely intervention halted the Glory counter attack and spared Hutchinson’s blushes in his 150th Hyundai A-League appearance.

Having stopped a goal down one end, Sainsbury proved infl uential in McBreen’s winner just two minutes later.

The Western Australian born youngster fi red a pinpoint pass to the former Falkirk and York City man, who controlled with his left foot before fi ring home with his right.

McBreen lapped up his fi ne fi nish, celebrating in style as he pumped his

chest and ran to rejoice with the fans in Bluetongue’s western grandstand.

Despite a few late half chances, McBreen’s goal proved to be all the home team needed to ensure they claimed their fi rst win of the 2012-13 Hyundai A-League campaign.

Post-match, Mariners’ boss Graham Arnold said he was pleased that his team showed improvement from their round one draw against A-League new boys Western Sydney Wanderers.

“Last week was probably a fi ve and today was about a

six [out of 10],” Arnold said.“We can do much better

and we have to do much better.

“The standard of the A-League is going up and we need to go up with it.

“I don’t want us to be in form in October, we weren’t last year.

“We build into the season and it’s important that we’re fi t and we grind out results and we’re strong defensively.”

Arnold also shared his delight with the performance of 20 year old defender Sainsbury.

“A lot of people were worried and concerned when we lost Alex Wilkinson but I have a lot of faith in Australian youngsters and Trent Sainsbury who has been with us for two years has had to sit back and be patient.

“He has learnt the ropes off ‘Wilko’ (Wilkinson) and Patrick (Zwaanswijk) and I thought today he was superb,” he said.

Arnold said he believed the Mariners would have to lift again against northern foes Newcastle Jets on Saturday, October 20, when

the two teams meet in an F3 Derby at Hunter Stadium.

“We will have to go up another couple of levels because I thought Newcastle were very good against Sydney in a wonderful spectacle.

“It’s still a work in progress and we will only get better,” said Arnold.

Gosford Council has voted 9-1 to permit a fast food store in Ocean Beach Rd, Umina.

The controversial McDonalds proposal faced opposition from more than 2000 signatories to petitions objecting to the development.

Mayor Cr Lawrie McKinna said although he understood there were a lot of residents upset about the McDonalds development in Umina, “it was very hard for the councillors to reject the proposal because the development ticked all the boxes”.

“It will bring 120 jobs, mostly casual and part time, to the area and this helps with the huge youth unemployment on the Central Coast plus the 50 jobs it will create in building of the development,” he said.

Only new Greens Cr Hillary Morris opposed the application at the council meeting on Tuesday, October 2.

“Whilst I understand the rezoning of this particular parcel of land made the refusal of the McDonalds development application impractical in terms of litigation challenges, I remain unconvinced that traffi c movement is not going to be compromised,” said Cr Morris.

The site was previously zoned Residential 2(b) until the LEP 471 was made which rezoned the site to General Business 3(a).

Cr Morris said she was aware that the development had received sanction from both the Roads and Maritime Service and the police in relation to traffi c movement, but said she knew traffi c on the road was of concern because it was raised in Council’s own DCP 159 Character Statement for Umina.

“Ocean Beach Rd is a major local thoroughfare that provides high levels of accessibility but also generates peak hour traffi c congestion, extending eastwards from a gateway intersection with an arterial intersection.

“I feel with the added burden of traffi c entering and exiting McDonalds, coupled with a bus stop and cycleway, it could become even more problematic.

“I would like to praise those councillors who endeavoured to fi nd solutions to the concerns

raised by the community such as reducing trading hours, traffi c safety measures to stop children running directly across the road to the McDonalds entrance and who genuinely expressed sympathy to the surrounding residents.

“It is never easy to make decisions when there has been such community disquiet,” said Cr Morris.

Deputy mayor Cr Bob Ward said employment was a big contributor to his decision.

“With a Central Coast unemployment level of around 6.7 per cent compared with the state average of 5.5 per cent and youth unemployment of around 35 per cent, I was particularly impressed with this commitment to provide over 100 casual and part time jobs.

“The restaurant will provide employment for not only young unemployed people but also students, both of whom will benefi t not only from the wages but also from the excellent training, which McDonalds provides,” said Cr Ward.

A total of 160 separate submissions and petitions containing over 2000 signatures were received in reference to the development.

The council staff report in the council meeting agenda claimed most of the objections were made from individuals who did not reside in the immediate locality.

Cr Craig Doyle said that the number of signatures objecting against the proposal warranted an answer as to whether or not

the development was in the public interest and, added to a host of other concerns, it could have been grounds for refusal.

“However, on its own, it is insuffi cient to support a refusal,” said Cr Doyle.

“Issues such as traffi c, trading hours, signage, Coles’ access, and parking were considered and addressed through conditions.

“The residents’ concerns were very valid, and to breeze over them would have been a huge mistake,” he said.

Cr Vicki Scott, however, said that she voted for approval because there “was no other viable option.

“I really do appreciate that there were a high number of objections, and agree with some of the

objectors’ issues,” said Cr Scott.“However, in the end, the only

matters we could deal with in the determination were those that would stand up in a court of law, compliance issues, and in this case all of those issues complied.

“Whether we like it or not, food choices, the name of the company which applied for the development application, the fact that this business is best suited in a shop front in West St, the health issue and other factors do not stand up in the Land and Environment Court in defending a decision.

“They are issues that are beyond the boundary of local government.

“We had no choice but to approve the development application because it complies with the requirements.

“I realise that many people will be disappointed, and I’m sorry about that.

“On the positive side, I am pleased there will be about 120 jobs available.

“Jobs for unemployed young people and students are important,” said Cr Scott.

Cr Gabby Bowles said she too was also excited about the 100 plus jobs it would create.

“I understand that some residents didn’t want McDonalds at all, but I believe that the conditions will result in a more positive development for the area,” she said.

The site of the development, which will require the demolition of fi ve houses, adjoins the redeveloped service station to the south on the corner of West St and Ocean Beach Rd and a physiotherapy clinic to the north.

The refurbished supermarket and adjacent car park is located to the east of the development.

The business will trade from 6am until midnight seven days a week and will have a fl oor area of 412.29 square metres.

The building will have a standard McDonalds corporate visual appearance.

It will include 50 internal seats, 25 external seats and 12 seats in a party room.

The proposal, which would have a total area of 3,965 square metres, would see the demolition of the existing two storey fl ats on the site and the construction of a 12 storey building above

four levels of underground parking.

The building would consist of 88 residential units comprising 11 one-bedroom units and 77 two-bedroom units, business and offi ce

suites totalling an area of 1,467.8 square metres and car parking for 145 cars, 107 of which would be allocated to residents, 18 to visitors and 20 for commercial use.

The initial application for

a residential fl at building which was granted consent on May 2005, consisted of 105 residential units in eight storeys with two levels of car parking.

A further application was then lodged on December 21, 2007.

This was assessed against the Gosford City Centre Plan 2005, but had consideration to the provisions of Gosford

City Centre Plan 2007.On August 15, 2008,

consent was granted to demolish the existing residential fl at building and erect a new building that would contain a supermarket, medical centre, commercial fl oor space, 101 residential units and 328 car parking spaces in an 11 storey building above fi ve levels of basement car parking.

The present proposal was brought back to Council as a S96 application with further amendments that resulted in a reduction in the extent of excavation, commercial fl oor space and the number of residential units and car parking spaces.

The move by the State Government opened the door to develop the Key site on the corner of Marine Pde and The Entrance Rd at The Entrance.

The Planning Proposal seeks to amend Council’s zoning instrument to permit additional building height on the site.

“This is not a Development Application and it doesn’t mean the applicants will start building tomorrow,” said Cr Bob Graham.

“I look forward to the Development Application actually coming into Council and the fi rst sod being turned, but that timeframe is completely up to the proponent,” said Cr Graham.

Council’s manager of place management Mr Paul Bowditch said the move by the State Government was extremely positive for the future of Council’s Iconic Development Sites program.

“What this proves is that the State Government has further endorsed Council’s Iconic Sites process, which is a step

forward not just for The Entrance, but for all of our other identifi ed Iconic Development Sites in the Shire,” said Mr Bowditch.

“This is a win for our process and a win for The Entrance community.

“We look forward to being able to announce further good news in the future in regard to our Iconic Sites across the Shire and the community and developers can have confi dence that our process is working and the State Government is being very supportive of our work,” said Mr Bowditch.

At the end of 2010, Council identifi ed 28 iconic development sites around the Shire as having the potential to provide an economic stimulus to the Shire and create jobs.

One of those was the Key site in The Entrance, and Council set a process in motion that could eventually see a $45 million development built on the site creating around 100 fulltime jobs.

The Key site has long been vacant and has

gone through numerous owners over the past three decades.

The site has also been the subject of proposals that have never progressed.

Council has established a strong relationship with the current land owners and developers to the point where they have submitted a proposal that includes retail and food outlets, 93 apartments, and almost 400 jobs including 120 on completion.

In June, Council voted to initiate a planning proposal and forward it onto the State Government, seeking permission to vary Council’s Local Environmental Plan (LEP) in order to relax height restrictions for the development to proceed.

The State Government put Council’s request through a Gateway Process, and the proposal was endorsed subject to conditions.

“This is the fi rst of our Iconic Development Sites to go through this process and reach this stage,” said Mr Bowditch.

“We are currently working with the Department of Planning to address the conditions imposed and consult with the nominated government agencies.

“Having said that, we expect to have a proposal for the Key site on exhibition later in the year,” said Mr Bowditch.

Part of the incentives in terms of the relaxation

of height restrictions for developers means the proponents have also had to factor in signifi cant public benefi ts in their plans along with the need to provide a building that embraces the concepts of design excellence and green building design.

In this case, the public benefi t comes to $1.55 million worth of improvements to the

public domain in The Entrance, which will be determined in due course.

The State Government will assess the fi nal planning proposal and, if they are happy with it, arrange for a legal document to be drafted and the LEP offi cially amended.

The Cleanaway NSW Junior

Speedway Solo C h a m p i o n s h i p was staged at the Allen Park track at Somersby on the weekend of October 6 and 7 which saw riders come from all

over NSW as well as some Queenslanders to contest the event.

Cowra rider Ben Cook came out on top on Sunday ahead of a fi eld of promising young talents.

Cook top scored in the heats with 14 points and he was joined in the fi nal by Queenslander Bryce

Brigden and Newcastle rider Denny Co, who both scored 11, and Boyd Hollis, also of Newcastle, who won the B Final.

Cox lost his chance in the fi nal when he fell and it was Cook who triumphed with a faultless ride ahead of Brigden and Hollis.

Also on the program on Sunday was the Aircom

Systems NSW Junior Sidecar Championship with the small fi eld turning on plenty of exciting action.

Victory went to the combination of Jackson Dunn-Gilbert and passenger Alanah Cornwell who beat Jackson Bond-Liam Cox and Tom Pearce- Denny Cox in the fi nal.

Newly elected Central Coast

captain John Hutchinson became the second player in Mariners’ history to reach the 150 Hyundai A-League game mark for the Club on Sunday, October 14.

Hutchinson followed good friend and former Mariners’ skipper Alex Wilkinson into the 150 game club, and celebrated his considerable achievement in the team’s specially designed pink kits in support of Pink Ribbon Day.

Like Wilkinson, Maltese international Hutchinson has spent his entire Hyundai A-League playing career with Central Coast.

Only a brief loan spell with then Chinese Super League side Chengdu Blades in 2011 interrupted

his time with the Mariners.The Morwell born

midfi elder said he was shocked when told of the milestone he was set to accomplish against Perth Glory.

“I didn’t actually expect it this season,” Hutchinson said.

“I didn’t know I was that close to it.

“I’ve had some great times [at the Mariners].

“We’ve had the two league Championships, a Pre-Season Cup win as well, and obviously we’ve had the heartbreak of a few Grand Finals here and there.

“But it’s a great Club.“It’s been an honour to be

here and play for them, and now to be Club captain is a great honour as well.

“My 150th just makes me feel that little bit older!”

Hutchinson added that he and his teammates were only too happy to help Central

Coast’s combined initiative with Mingara Recreation Club in supporting Pink Ribbon Day by wearing the unique pink kits.

“Everyone is happy to support Pink Ribbon Day,” he said.

“I know the boys are right behind the initiative from Mingara Club and the Mariners.

“I think it’s a wonderful cause and something we need to fi ght, and I’m glad to be a part of it.”

Australia (FFA) and ABC Radio have announced a partnership which will give the Hyundai A-League 2012-13 season a signifi cant national radio presence.

Under the new agreement, ABC Radio will cover matches across its many platforms, including ABC Local Radio, ABC Grandstand Digital Radio, the ABC Radio App and online simulcast with the FFA digital platforms.

The partnership will also see greater sharing of content and regular appearances of players and coaches on ABC Radio Grandstand’s football focused programs, including Francis Leach’s Top of the League and the A-League Lounge hosted by Ned Hall and Steve Pearce.

FFA head of Corporate Affairs and Communications Mr Kyle Patterson has hailed ABC Radio’s commitment to carry Hyundai A-League broadcasts to more fans on more platforms this season

“Over the seven years of the Hyundai A-League, ABC Radio has brought the game alive with great commentary in broadcasts all over Australia,” said Patterson.

“Covering Australian

sport is in the DNA of the national broadcaster and it’s natural that football has a strong presence.

“We now have a formal partnership that will bring a nationally co-ordinated approach and open the way to digital simulcasts on ABC and FFA platforms.

“This is will allow more fans to be part of the exciting A-League season coming up.”

ABC Radio Grandstand sport manager Mr Craig Norenbergs said he was excited to see ABC Radio continue to build its national football footprint.

Norenbergs said he was looking forward to building closer ties with the A-League and growing ABC Radio’s national football footprint.

“While ABC Radio have been committed to the A-League since day one, the new partnership will, for the fi rst time, give listeners great games of football on the radio each week,” said Norenbergs.

The agreement will see all Hyundai A-League Clubs, including the Central Coast Mariners, covered during the course of the season.

Football Federation Australia and ABC will release weekly schedules throughout the season detailing which matches will be broadcast for each Hyundai A-League Round.

An information night will be

held on Wednesday, October 31, at Mt Penang Gardens in Kariong for the Central Coast’s new International Football School (IFS).

Parents will fi nd out all about Australia’s fi rst school that combines elite football coaching with a ground-

breaking approach to education.

According to CEO Paul Chapman the school will offer the highest quality training from some of this country’s best coaches.

“With the likes of ex-Matildas Julie Dolan and Joey Peters and ex-Mariners André Gumprecht and Brad Porter on board, we’ll be offering an unparalleled opportunity to develop technically masterful

players,” Chapman said. “But it’s our innovative

approach using project-based learning that really sets us apart.

“Project-based learning is a dynamic method of teaching in which students explore real-world issues, developing cross-curriculum skills working in small groups.

“Students thrive when they are actively engaged solving relevant, real-life

problems.“They develop greater

confi dence, better organisational, self-direction and research skills and are inspired to gain a deeper knowledge of subjects.

“We’re really excited to offering a respectful learning environment that engages, motivates and challenges students while at the same time fulfi lling their passion for football,” said Chapman.

Gosford mayor Cr Lawrie McKinna

went pink in support of breast cancer after Gosford Council pledged $1000 for him to dress in a pink suit for Cancer Council NSW’s Pink Ribbon fundraiser, held at the home game of the Central Coast Mariners on Sunday, October 14.

Wyong Council will also support the Cancer Council Pink Ribbon day on October 22, by pledging $1000 and supplying staff with Pink Ribbons to wear.

A total of $4800 was raised for Cancer Council NSW as a result of both Councils’ efforts and third party donations for the mayoral pink promotion.

Mayor Cr McKinna said Cancer Council NSW’s Pink Ribbon Day raises funds for breast cancer, which is still the most common cancer for women in Australia with one in eight women being affected in their lifetime.

“Everyone knows someone who has been affected by breast cancer.

“With one in every eight women affected, unfortunately,

this is a disease which has touched too many lives.

“Wearing a pink suit for the game day and pledging a donation of $1000 highlights Council’s and my own personal support for a cause close to many Central Coast residents,” said mayor Cr McKinna.

Wyong mayor Cr Doug Eaton didn’t don a pink suit, but he did put up a Mayoral Motion at the last Council meeting to ensure Council contributed.

“Breast cancer is an awful disease and there wouldn’t be too many people in our community who haven’t been affected by it in some way, shape or form in terms of a family member or friend being diagnosed,” Mayor Cr Eaton said.

“As a Council, we have a responsibility to help our community and by making this donation, it will help add to research in order to fi nd a cure for breast cancer.”

Mayor Cr McKinna said he was keen to support Cancer Council NSW as it is the only cancer charity that supports the entire journey of breast cancer, from diagnosis, treatment through to support and fi nancial assistance.

“Locally, these

funds are used for research, facilitation of support groups, resources including information, preventative education and family support.

“We are also fortunate to have a Cancer Council HUB located at Erina Fair with access to staff, support groups and information and are looking forward to having an information Hub at the new Cancer Treatment Centre at Gosford Hospital early next year,” Mayor Cr McKinna added.

Central Coast Mariners player

Hayden Morton was selected by Qantas Young Socceroos head coach Paul Okon as part of a 23 player squad for two international friendly matches against the Portugal U20 Men’s National team held in Lisbon on October 11 and 14.

Ten overseas based players from England, Germany, the Netherlands and Scotland were included in the squad with 12 drawn from the ranks of the Hyundai A-League Clubs as well as Luke O’Dea from Bentleigh Greens in the Victorian Premier League.

Okon used the two

matches as part of his squad’s preparations for the upcoming AFC U19 Championship which will be held in the United Arab Emirates from November 1 to 17.

“As this camp was held during FIFA match dates, it was the fi rst time that the overseas-based players joined the core of our squad in the lead up to the AFC U19 Championship,” said Okon.

“Even though there were some Australian-based players not selected in this particular squad, they are certainly not out of contention for fi nal selection, because we used this camp to see how these overseas based players adapted to our playing style and fi t into the group,” said Okon.

WAR & MOVIE MEMORABILIA

Central Coast Mariners have

confi rmed that John McLafferty has been promoted to the Club’s National Youth League (NYL) head coaching position.

McLafferty has been Tony Walmsley’s assistant coach with the Mariners NYL team for the past two seasons.

With Walmsley leaving the yellow and navy to take up a new challenge with Sheffi eld United’s Academy this October, McLafferty stood out as the best candidate to succeed him in the important youth development role.

Having been involved in the recruitment and retention phase for this season’s NYL, McLafferty not only understands the players signed for this campaign, but the practices and processes which make the Mariners Youth development program the best in Australia.

Moreover, McLafferty will take on an additional responsibility with the Central Coast Mariners Academy (CCMA) as Men’s Program Director.

This role will see him overlooking the entire Men’s program from U16s through to Central Coast Football’s (CCF) fi rst grade team.

McLafferty will work closely with Paul Waters and Steve Finch to ensure the successful progression of Mariners Academy players to the CCF fi rst grade team, and potentially Mariners Youth and Hyundai A-League outfi ts.

“It’s very exciting times,” McLafferty said.

“It’s an exciting time to get them on the fi eld and not just get results, but hopefully develop them so

‘Arnie’ (Graham Arnold) and ‘Mossy’ (Phil Moss) can have a better look at them as well.”

Meanwhile, Central Coast Mariners have also confi rmed the 16 players signed for the 2012-13 NYL season, and announced that the squad features three locally trained juniors.

Louis Bozanic, brother of Mariners A-League star Oliver, has signed on with the Club, while in another development underpinning the importance of the CCMA pathway, two U16 Central Coast juniors will also join the team.

Josh Forbes and Steve White, who played this season for CCMA, will represent Mariners Youth this campaign.

“It’s exciting times for the development on the Central Coast.

“Two players from last year’s Central Coast Mariners Academy have been selected to go into the Mariners National Youth League this year.

“Obviously they’ve got a lot to learn but they’re coming into a professional program and hopefully there’s a few more come after them.

“There’s been a gap there and there still is a gap which has been identifi ed from day one.

“But the work is in progress and we feel confi dent that we’re getting closer and closer to where it should be,” McLafferty said.

Four members of the Championship winning NYL team from last term will again feature for the Club.

Talented custodian David Bradasevic, Australian youth representatives Hayden Morton and Nikola Stanojevic, as well as explosive right-winger-cum-

full-back Adam Jenner will don the yellow and navy once again.

Mariners Youth will have a distinctively fresh feel when they begin their campaign against F3 Derby foes Newcastle Jets at the Central Coast Mariners Centre of Excellence on Sunday, October 21.

Up front Central Coast Youth will feature two former Australian Institute of Sport graduates in Aaron Peterson and Patrick Dixon.

Meanwhile, NYL experienced players including goalkeeper Luke Turnbull, former Gold Coast United midfi elder Daniel Bragg, and utilities Jordan Crighton and Tommy Cirjak have penned deals with the Club.

Up-and-coming players Micky Neill, Kieren Paull and Dillon Vorster round out the Mariners 2012/13 NYL roster.

Central Coast Mariners 2012/13 NYL Squad: Louis Bozanic, David Bradasevic (Gk), Daniel Bragg, Tommy Cirjak, Jordan Crighton, Patrick Dixon, Josh Forbes, Adam Jenner, Hayden Morton, Mickey Neill, Kieren Paull, Aaron Peterson, Nikola Stanojevic, Luke Turnbull (Gk), Dillon Vorster, Steve White.

McLafferty promoted to head coach


The Qantas Young Socceroos, of

which Central Coast Mariner Hayden Morton is a member, were defeated 4-1 by the Portugal U20 Men’s National team in their international friendly played in Lisbon on Monday, October 15.

Qantas Young Socceroos head coach Paul Okon made a number of changes to the starting lineup that he used in their fi rst match against Portugal three days before.

Making their debuts for the Qantas Young Socceroos were Ryan Williams and Liam Jacob in the starting XI, and later in the match, substitutes Alex Baird and Mitch Cooper.

The Qantas Young Socceroos started the game well, playing at a high intensity and creating a couple of good chances early on but it was Portugal who opened the scoring in the ninth minute when their free kick from just outside the box landed in front of Qantas Young Socceroos goal keeper Liam Jacob.

Jacob’s attempted clearance was picked up by Aladje who then easily tapped in from close range.

Josh Brillante equalised for the Qantas Young Socceroos three minutes later when he carried the ball through the midfi eld and then let loose with a strike from outside the box that went into the top left hand corner of the goal.

Portugal took the lead just before the half-time whistle when Michael Pinto hit a cross from the left that tricked Liam Jacob and landed in the top right corner of the goal.

Alex Baird replaced Liam Jacob as the Qantas Young

Socceroos goal keeper at half time and was involved in the thick of the action seven minutes into the second half when he came out to try and take the ball from the feet of Portuguese attacker Joao Carlos.

Unfortunately in doing so, Baird took down Carlos, conceded a penalty and received a yellow card in the process.

Tiago Ferreira then calmly converted the penalty to extend Portugal’s lead.

The result was effectively sealed in the 77th minute when Ricardo Pereira hit a long range shot into the top corner of the goal that Alex Baird had no chance of saving.

Okon said he was happy with how his team had begun the match, not so pleased with the manner in which the goals were conceded, but overall pleased with what his team had gained from the two matches against Portugal.

“In the fi rst half we played some outstanding football.

“We started the game applying a lot of pressure on Portugal and by doing this we created three clear cut chances that we failed to convert.

“Then some individual mistakes and lapses of concentration cost us goals,” said Okon.

“Portugal didn’t create many opportunities in ninety minutes, yet we gifted them four goals which, at this level, you can’t afford to do.

“All in all, these two games have been very productive for us in terms of how we want to play as well as a learning experience against a world class opponent,” concluded Okon.

The Qantas Young Socceroos will now start their fi nal preparations for next month’s AFC U19

Championship which will be held in the United Arab Emirates.

Avoca Beach won the 2012

First Grade Rugby Union Premiership when they defeated Kariong at Morry Breen Oval by 28 points to 14 on Saturday, September 22.

Avoca Beach was the better team on the day and the win saw them gain another First Grade Premiership.

The fi rst 15 minutes of the match proved a real struggle with both teams testing each other out with a series of forward exchanges but neither team was making any signifi cant inroads.

If anything, it was Kariong who dominated territory during that time.

They spent a lot of time in the Avoca Beach half.

This gained a result for them in the 12th minute when their prop and captain Shannon Beavan made a 20 metre run to crash over adjacent to the posts.

It was the start that Kariong wanted.

The try was converted and Kariong had jumped to an early 7-0 lead.

Avoca Beach responded two minutes later when their winger Matt Maloney kicked a penalty goal to reduce the lead to 7-3.

This remained the score for much of the remainder of the fi rst half.

Both teams had their chances and both teams had periods of attack but good defence from the opposing team saw all attacking movements come to nothing.

It was certainly developing into a war of

attrition with neither team able to gain the edge.

Kariong had long periods of possession and at times Avoca Beach could just not get their hands on the ball.

The best players for each of the teams at this stage gave it their all.

Prop Shannon Beavan was leading from the front and everywhere in attack and defence.

Halfback Scott Hanley was playing well and was scheming to gain the upper hand.

Avoca Beach was being led around the paddock by lock Adam Winter who was having one of his best games for the club.

He made several surges in the fi rst half to get his team on the go forward.

He was well supported by prop Luke Sheridan.

The game had developed into a stalemate on the scoreboard but Avoca

Beach got closer and then moved ahead with two late penalty goals in the fi rst half.

In the 34th minute, and then just before half time Matt Maloney kicked two penalty goals for Avoca to take the lead at the halftime break by 9-7.

The second half continued in much the same vein as what was observed in the fi rst half.

Kariong had long periods of possession but couldn’t make the break through and get across the line.

Dogged defence by Avoca Beach simply shut them out.

The difference in the second half however was the good performance of the Avoca Beach outside backs.

Half Justin Staben and inside centre Dan Reihana were able to get the ball wide and the Avoca Beach outside backs proved dangerous every time they

touched the ball.Both wingers Tom

Murphy and Matt Maloney made incisive runs, and the pace of Jacob Briggs was always on show.

Firstly a turnover of possession in the 10th minute of the half saw Avoca Beach fi ve-eight Mitch Graham go to the blind before passing to winger Matt Maloney who raced to the line for a try.

This try was converted by Maloney himself and Avoca Beach had moved to a handy 16 points to 7 lead, but Kariong were not to be outdone.

They quickly responded with their second try.

A forward surge by Kariong saw the ball go to the blindside and with the ball in the hands of fullback Derrick Peachey, he raced 20 metres across fi eld to score near the posts.

The conversion of this try

saw the score line at Avoca Beach 16 Kariong 14 and the match was certainly on.

It was at this stage that Kariong could have taken the lead.

Kariong fi ve-eight Mitchell Clay made a break before passing to his winger with the line open but the dropped ball saw a chance go begging.

From the 20th minute of this half for the next fi ve minutes Kariong gave it their all to break through.

They took a tighthead at the scrum, but several dropped balls and wrong options cost them in achieving their aim.

It was the determined Avoca Beach defence that was the telling factor.

Having gained a penalty close to their own line, halfback Justin Staben showed quick thinking by taking an immediate tap and racing forward.

The ball was passed to supporting fullback Jacob Briggs who showed exceptional pace and outshone the Kariong defence to race 65 metres to score near the corner.

It was the turning point of the second half.

Avoca Beach were now leading by 21 points to 14 in what was proving an exhilarating second half of Grand Final rugby.

This try in the 28th minute of the second half placed Avoca Beach in a good position.

Kariong did hit back with some good play through loose forwards Afele Tongia and Sone Taito but there was to be no result on the scoreboard.

Avoca Beach also made further inroads.

Winger Tom Murphy was strong and made several telling runs during this period.

The Grand Final was cemented in the fi nal few minutes of the game when Avoca Beach prop Luke Sheridan made a big run and crashed over near the posts for the winning try.

This try was converted and the fi nal score of Avoca Beach 28 Kariong 14 was reached.

It was typical Grand Final rugby with no holds barred.

Both teams gave it their all but it was Avoca Beach who were the stronger on the day.

Avoca Beach had won their eighth First Grade Premiership in the last 10 years.

This Grand Final was also their 11th successive First Grade Grand Final appearance.

A versatile player regarded as the Mr Fix It of the Wallabies backline Adam has played over 70 tests for the Wallabies. An Ourimbah Razorbacks Junior and crucial member of the NSW Waratahs Super Rugby backline Adam is a proud ambassador of the Central Coast Sevens International Rugby Festival.

Pierre de Coubertin admired the spirit and values of rugby union and introduced rugby in its traditional 15-man format for the Paris 1900 Games. It also appeared in the Games of London 1908, Antwerp 1920 and Paris 1924.

Even though rugby union sold more tickets than athletics in 1924, the IOC cancelled rugby as an Olympic sport and turned down the request to stage rugby at the 1928 Amsterdam Games. Three factors were believed to be behind this: the IOC wanted more emphasis on individual sports; women's athletics had increased the number of competitors; and the sport did not receive the backing that it should have from the British entries.

At the 2009 IOC Session in Copenhagen, rugby sevens was elected to join the 2016 program by a vote of 81 members to 8 after nearly a century off the Olympic program. The sevens concept was an attractive option for Olympic competition due to its speed, excitement and the number of countries competing around the world.

The readmission of rugby to the Olympic program was led by Australian women’s rugby sevens captain, Cheryl Soon and New Zealand’s Jonah Lomu. These athletes achieved a remarkable result for rugby- guaranteeing the growth of women’s rugby, giving nations such as Fiji, Samoa, Kenya, and Argentina the chance to win an Olympic medal, and involve passionate young supporters in the Olympic movement.

Wyong Shire C o u n c i l hosted 21

delegates from the Beijing Government, China on Monday, September 17.

The delegates met with council to fi nd out about development opportunities in the Shire, with council presenting an outline of economic opportunities in the Shire and an overview of future planning projects.

Delegates were given a full overview of the Warnervale Chinese Cultural Theme Park proposal by the Australia China Foundation Association (ACFA).

“Council is delighted to be one of the few select areas chosen to visit by this delegation of Chinese Government offi cials,” said mayor, Cr Bob Graham.

“What it shows is that we have a strong reputation when it comes to future proposals involving economic development in the Shire.

“Our visitors were very keen to learn about

a lot of projects we have currently and projects that are coming up and how we go about managing these projects.

“It is a great coup for Council to have our work recognised at an International level,” said

Cr Graham.Last year, an

agreement was signed between the Australia China Foundation Association (ACFA) and Wyong Council to investigate a site at Warnervale as the

potential home of a Chinese Cultural Theme Park.

The agreement allowed the proponents to investigate a potential 15 hectare site, on Council land, for the purpose of constructing

the $500 million Cultural Theme Park.

The ACFA required access to Council land in order to fully develop a proposal that would have a detailed business plan, fi nancial strategy, benefi ts and costs, to

enable them to go back to China and source additional funding to raise the necessary capital for the project.

“We know this project already has the support of sectors of the Chinese Government which is critical for getting corporate support in China,” said Cr Graham.

“This has the potential to be one of the biggest tourism developments in New South Wales in a number of years and also create more than 1,000 jobs in the local area.

“The delegation was certainly very interested in being briefed on the progress of this development and they were very enthusiastic about the work Council has done to assist in getting it to this level,” said Cr Graham.

Council expects to make a further statement about the proposed Chinese Cultural Theme Park in the coming months.

Gosford Public School Action Group chairperson Ms Jackie Draper, Central Coast Greens representative Ms Kate da Costa and Henry Kendall High School P and C president Mr Rob Wilcox spoke to the panel along with Teachers Federation representative Ms Debbie Westacott, Gosford Public School P and C president Mr Stephan Thomas and Gosford Waterfront Action Group representative Mr Gary Jackson.

“The whole proposal and documentation has been insultingly inadequate,” said Ms da Costa.

“The refusal of both

the previous and current government to consider any other site than Henry Kendall High School has reduced the time for proper planning, but

the children of Gosford Public School and Henry Kendall High School should not be punished for government intransigence.

“This will set precedence for mergers and the selloff of schools around the state.

“Many people worked tirelessly on this campaign,

supported by Dr John Kaye, Greens MLC in State Parliament.

“The petition, with over 10,500 signatures, thousands

of letters, the teachers the parents and everyone who has to make this transition work have been ignored.

“This State government was elected on a promise to listen to and empower local communities, but this forced relocation over the wishes of the entire community has made a mockery of the Coalition’s promise.

“The move, promoted as a way of paying for much needed and overdue upgrades, is a false economy.

“As soon as the new school opens, it and the high school will be at capacity.

“The Government will fi nd itself very soon having to pay for an entire new school, but they appear to only be interested in the current budget.

“We will be keeping a close eye on the merged schools and the old waterfront site to see how long it takes for anything to appear there which will benefi t the community,” said Ms da Costa.

Email, 21 Sep 2012 Kate da Costa,

Central Coast Greens

Community objections overruledA d e c i s i o n

was made on Thursday,

September 20, by the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP) to approve the development application to relocate Gosford Public School to the grounds of Henry Kendall High School.

Wingecarribee Shire Council, along with City of Swan and Parkes Shire Councils, led the class action case, which involved a total of 72 plaintiffs.

Although Gosford Council was not involved in the class action case, Council’s director of corporate services, Mr Nic Pasternatsky said Council

would be following the case closely and would be guided by their own independent legal advice.

Wingecarribee Shire Council was seeking to recover approximately $20million in potential losses.

The court found that the Council was misled by negligent advice and that the

Australian arm of Lehman Brothers, previously known as Grange Securities, had engaged in deceptive conduct, breach of contract and a breach of its fi duciary duties.

Newly elected mayor, and Chair of Wingecarribee Council’s Finance Committee, Cr Juliet Arkwright said the decision vindicated the

Council’s decision to instigate legal action against Lehman Brothers in a bid to recoup funds lost in fi nancial products known as collaterised debt obligations (CDOs).

“This case has been an ongoing process, and we are very pleased with the result.

“We can now attempt to recoup funds,” Cr Arkwright said.

“However the ruling does not stipulate how much, or indeed when we can expect to see monies returned,” she

said.“And whilst we may

never receive all of our funds invested, any money recovered will have an enormous benefi t for the community as it will be fed back into Council services and community assets.”

Wingecarribee Shire Council has already recovered $8.6 million from CDO investments, and still holds $11.6 million.

The Council now awaits a court date in November when Justice Steven Rares will give

fi nal orders that will confi rm details of the compensation that Lehman Brothers Australia will be liable for.

The published reasons for judgment and the summary of the decision are available at www.fedcourt.gov.au.

Minister for Health Ms Jillian Skinner has visited Woy Woy Hospital to inspect progress on construction of its new rehabilitation ward.

Ms Skinner, who was joined on her tour of the facilities by Member for Gosford Mr Chris Holstein, inspected the progress of the new sub-acute care and rehabilitation ward, a $14 million project that is jointly funded by the NSW and Commonwealth Governments.

“It is particularly pleasing to see the progress on this new ward at Woy Woy Hospital, as it was one of this Government’s commitments to the local community to return rehabilitation services to Woy Woy,” Ms Skinner said.

“It is important to recognise the crucial role that health staff and

community has played to ensure that essential frontline services are well supported and this ward will enhance services provided by Woy Woy Hospital to local residents.”

Mr Holstein said the new ward would feature one and two-bed inpatient rooms, a therapy courtyard, gymnasium and improvements to back-of-house services, including kitchen areas, staff facilities and extra parking.

“The new sub-acute ward has been built with capacity for 30 beds to allow for expansion to meet future needs.

“The new ward is expected to be open in mid-2013,” Mr Holstein said.

Health Minister inspects rehab progress

The Bays Community Group has been told by a council offi cer that funding for improvements to Bulls Hill is “not likely in my lifetime”.

The offi cer, Mr David Medcalf, presented information at the Bays Community Hall in Woy Woy Bay on Wednesday, September 12, about the planned upgrades to Rawson Rd and Woy Woy Rd.

Bays Community Group president Mr Bob Puffett introduced Mr Medcalf as project manager.

Around 40 local residents attended the meeting.

Mr Puffett welcomed Council’s support of local community input to the development.

The $30 million allocation of funding to the project would allow work on a new roundabout and underpass which would link Railway St with Woy Woy Rd, as well as work on an under-road pedestrian

crossing at Rawson Rd and Railway St.

However, a number of projects remain unfunded including the improvement of Bulls Hill and Woy Woy Rd, the removal of the hairpin bend at the top of Bulls Hill and the proposed on ramp at Banyo Close.

Mr Medcalf said funding for these upgrades were “not likely in my lifetime”.

The meeting was the fi rst in a series of planned updates and community input on the upgrade project by the Council.

Mr Medcalf said that although initial planning included “four lanes with cycleway and footpath” and improvements to Woy Woy Rd, that the realistic scope of the project was “the roundabout, underpass and some remedial work along Rawson Rd” which would take at least a year.

The meeting was told the major work phase would take at least a

year which would mean primary access to the Peninsula would be along the Broadwater during part of the work.

Concerns were raised during the meeting about the concurrent upgrade to the West Gosford intersection but Mr Medcalf said this was unlikely as the intersection project was expected to begin next year while the Rawson Rd Project may not begin until much later.

Mr Medcalf advised that it would take 10 years to negotiate a route through the National Park and it would be unlikely succeed.

This meant plans for a road upgrade had to stay within the current road boundaries.

Mr Puffett said that without lobbying local politicians the project could be overshadowed by competing Council projects.

You may not realise but women’s rugby is one of the fastest growing sports in the world!

The Australian National women’s team the Wallaroos are the current World Champions and the National Sevens team the Aussie Pearls are one of the strongest sevens teams in the world.

For the first time ever there will be an International Rugby Board (IRB) Women’s Sevens World Series, kicking off in November in Dubai. With rugby sevens making its Olympic debut at the 2016 Games in Rio this is a great boost for the development of the women’s game.

In a ground-breaking move, the inaugural global series for the world's top women's Sevens players will feature rounds in UAE (Dubai), USA (Houston), China (Guangzhou) and Netherlands (Amsterdam).

Women's Rugby is one of the fastest-growing team sports in the world and, in 2016, the finest female players in the world will take their place alongside their male counterparts in Rio de Janeiro when Rugby returns to the Olympic Games summer program. The inception of an international series is a key milestone in the ongoing development of both the competitive standards and the professionalism of the women’s Game.

The fi nal of the Zone 15

Champion of Club Champions Pairs was held at the The Greens, The Entrance, on Sunday, October 7.

Ettalong duo of Aron Sherriff (skip) and Lee Trethowan (lead) defeated Terrigal’s David Neilson (skip) and Jeff Watson (lead).

In a low scoring game that saw Terrigal win 10 ends for one shot plus two twos and a three, it was the Ettalong pair’s bigger end-scores of four’s on ends 11 and 17 and two twos that kept them in touch until the 20th end when the Terrigal skip pulled off a conversion shot resulting in a three, putting his team ahead 17-15.

On the next end, Terrigal sensed victory as they crowded the jack with

superb draw shots and were holding three, forcing Sherriff to drive at the head which propelled the jack out of the rink to kill the end.

On the last end, and two shots behind on the scorecard, Ettalong moved the jack to be holding two, then Sherriff added another shot and it was up to the Terrigal skip to somehow draw the shot or at least cut out two Ettalong bowls.

But it wasn’t to be, as

David agonisingly watched his last bowl fail to change the head and Aron elected to not play his last bowl and so claimed a one shot win, 18-17.

Aron Sherriff and Lee Trethowan will now join The Greens’ Phil Flippence to represent Zone 15 at the State Champion of Club Champions Singles and Pairs Competition at Austral Bowling Club in November.

The fi nal of the Bateau Bay

Women’s Bowling Club Minor Pairs was

held on Thursday, September 27.

Janice Reynolds and Lisa Caswell (skip) defeated

Maureen Harrison and Anne Little (skip), with a score of 14-4 at the completion of the ninth end.

The game started with scores of 1-1, 2-2 and 4-4 setting the pace.

Harrison was drawing well to the jack and the heads were an indication of good bowling from the four of them.

However, when Reynolds got the mat next she sat her

fi rst two bowls on the jack.Reynolds and Caswell

were able to out bowl their opposition and gained 10 points over the next few ends.

Conditions of play were good and a slight breeze required more concentration from players.

Reynolds has been playing bowls since September 2009 and Caswell since July 2004.

“Congratulations to Janice and Lisa on their fi rst Championship win at the Bay,” said Bateau Bay Women’s Bowling Club representative Ms Betty Polson.

The Central Coast Marlins baseball

team had a huge win against Blacktown on the night of Wednesday, October 10, winning 13-2.

In the return match, however, it was a much closer affair and they lost 5-4 in extra innings.

The Marlins hit the lead early in Wednesday’s encounter scoring a run in the fi rst inning after Tim Joughin had a hit to lead off the game; he later scored on a hit to Pat Maat.

The Marlins added three runs in the third inning after some sloppy defence from the home side.

The Marlins continued to dominate the game plating three runs in the fourth inning before busting the game open in the sixth after scoring fi ve runs to put the game out of reach for the Blacktown side.

Starting pitcher Scott Harrison was outstanding throwing six innings and only giving up two runs while

striking out four hitters.Tim Joughin led the way

offensively collecting four hits for the game.

The game on Sunday, October 13, was a much tighter affair with the game decided in 10 innings.

Tthe home side jumped out to an early four run read.

The Marlins battled hard and tied the game in the top

of the ninth after a walk to Tim Joughin who was batted in by a double to Moko Moanaroa.

Some sloppy defence from the Marlins side in the bottom of the 10th gave Blacktown a chance to win the game and they took the match away from the Marlins after a sacrifi ce fl y scored the decisive run.

Marlins dominate against Blacktown

by Michael Ashton

The Central Coast Marlins went

down 6-5 in a tough extra innings game against Manly on the weekend of October 6 and 7.

The Marlins had a number of key players out and were going up against facing two Sydney Blue Sox pitchers.

The Marlins opened the scoring in the fi rst inning

after a two out hit for Pat Maat scored Tim Joughin.

The Manly side hit back in the bottom of the third plating two runs of their own.

The Manly side then tacked on two more runs to take a 4-1 lead.

The Marlins hit back scoring three runs after a two-run homerun to Boss Moanaroa leaving the match in the balance tied at four apiece, taking the game into

extra innings.A change of pitcher from

the Manly side saw the Marlins take the lead in the 10th after a clutch two-out hit for Moko Moanaroa to give the Marlins 5-4 lead only needing three outs to claim the victory.

The Manly side battled back and were able to score two runs in the bottom 10th to steal the victory from the Marlins side.

Marlins lose to Manly

by Michael Ashton

The Central Coast Marlins’ 17 game

winning streak came to an end with a 12-4 loss to Manly at Blacktown International Sports Park on Wednesday,

October 3. The score line did not

refl ect the closeness of the game.

The Marlins opened the scoring with a run in the fi rst inning to take an early lead.

The home side hit back straight away plating a run

of their own.Both teams traded runs in

a sea sawing affair until the Manly side took the game away from the Marlins in the seventh inning, scoring eight runs through some poor pitching and defence from the Marlins side.

The fi rst round of Central Coast

Cricket was played on Saturday, October 13, with only a couple of games affected by weather.

Mountains managed to beat Kincumber thanks to an all-round performance by Dave Mitchell.

He proceeded to take 6-29 and scored 114 not out to lead Mountains to victory.

Kincumber batted fi rst and were bowled out for 190 and Mountains achieved that target with three overs to spare.

Bateau Bay plays T20 cricketby Sudesh Arudpragasam

Twelve cricket clubs on the

Central Coast are conducting cricket programs for budding cricketers on the Central Coast.

Designed for kids aged 5-10, over 160,000 kids took part in the Milo in2Cricket last year and 2012 promises to be bigger, better and even more fun.

Australian cricket is on the constant look out for the next generation of male and female stars and Milo in2Cricket is the perfect way for kids to get active, have fun and start their journey towards the national team.

Australian Captain Michael Clarke said he knows the value of Milo in2Cricket, having graduated from its ranks to become captain of the Australian side.

“I remember my early cricket days in a junior program like Milo in2Cricket many years ago,” Clarke said.

“The program is the perfect way for boys and girls to get into cricket, have fun and get active.

“I’d encourage all kids to get out there and give it a go,” he said.

Commonwealth Bank Southern Star Ellyse Perry also praised the program, in particular its focus on encouraging girls to participate.

“Each year, I see more girls in the Milo in2Cricket program and it’s really exciting to see them loving cricket as much as I do,” Perry said.

“The great thing about the

program is girls and boys are involved together and have the same opportunity to enjoy it.”

Central Coast Cricket development manager Frankie Walsh said he was excited about how the Milo in2Cricket program could develop cricket on the Central Coast.

“The Milo in2Cricket program grew signifi cantly last season and there are plenty of opportunities for local kids to get involved again this year.

“The enjoyment kids get from the program is obvious and it’s a great way for parents to aid their child’s physical development in a safe and fun environment.”

Touch Football

Berkeley Vale Touch Football

Association has been nominated for two major awards at this year’s NSW Touch Association (NSWTA) Awards

ceremony.The touch football club

was nominated for Affi liate of the Year and the club’s touch operations manager Shayne Hayne was nominated for Administrator of the Year.

Mr Hayne said the Berkeley Vale club was

extremely proud and honoured to have received these nominations, which validate and recognise the hard work volunteers have done over the years to assist the club in achieving its current standing within the touch community.

The Central Coast Junior Touch

Championships will be held at EDSACC North and South Fields, Bateau Bay on Sunday, December 16.

The Peak Sports Central Coast Junior Touch Championships has been going for six years now with the number of teams participating increasing each year.

It was designed for junior representative teams to take part in a one day round robin friendly competition with other clubs from around and within the Central Coast area

Teams from Ryde, Eastwood, Manly, Parramatta, Blue Mountains, Newcastle, Wallsend, Singleton, Scone, Beresfi eld, Bankstown, Hills Hornets, Wests and Muswellbrook all attended last year as well as Doyalson-Northen Lakes,

Peninsula, Dolphins and Berkeley Vale.

After the round robin series, the top two teams play in a fi nal with medallions handed out to the winners as well as a Club Championship Trophy awarded to the most successful Club on the Day.

This year all age groups will be limited to a maximum of 16 teams only.

This year, there will also be a Women’s All Star game played to support motor neurone disease.

Ashlee Pauletto, of Umina, has

completed an eight month scholarship program with Youth Inspired and is now looking to continue her volunteer work with the Peninsula Touch Association.

Ashlee was among a number of young sports administrators who attended the Point Wolstoncroft Sport and Recreation Centre at Gwandalan from October 5 to 7 to complete their training under the Youth Inspired program.

Youth Inspired is conducted by the Central Coast offi ce of Sport and Recreation and aims to educate and mentor the next generation of volunteer sporting club administrators.

The program entails a range of education workshops in the areas of club governance, risk management in sport, managing volunteers, committee roles and conducting meetings, fi nance and budgeting as well as a number of personal development modules.

“During the weekend, program participants completed training in public speaking, dealing with diffi cult people and Senior First Aid, learning vital skills not just for their roles in sporting clubs but skills that are also useful in many other roles,” said Youth Inspired coordinator Mr Matt Sawyer.

“In addition to the formal training, participants also let their hair down with camp activities such as archery, canoeing and other fun group activities; a just reward for months of dedication to the Youth Inspired program,” said Mr Sawyer.

Peninsula Touch Association president Mr Rod Dillon said Youth Inspired was a great way to introduce young people into the administration and running of sporting clubs.

“Peninsula Touch, like every other local sporting club needs a steady injection of new volunteers and our

young people can certainly fi ll that gap.

“It was great to see Ashlee participate in this program, she is a talented and committed young person and we are keen to support her development and include her as a part of our volunteer team.

“Similarly we are also

keen to support more young people to become part of our vibrant and committed band of volunteers at Peninsula Touch,” said Mr Dillon.

Youth Inspired will be held again next year and is open to young people aged 16 to 25 across the Central Coast.

A new player’s clinic will

be held at the Peninsula Leisure Centre on Sunday, October 28, from 2pm to 4pm, for underwater hockey, a new sporting club on the Central Coast.

Coaching will be held at the new player’s clinic as well as demonstration games for new players to see how the game works.

Organiser Mr Graham Wood said the new Central Coast club would focus on delivering a game that is suited to new players who are willing to give it a try.

After playing underwater

hockey around the world for almost 20 years, Mr Wood said his dream was to introduce the sport to the Central Coast.

“Previously, a good mate and I would drive down the freeway for a game in Newcastle or Sydney,” said Mr Wood.

He said it had been his “vision to bring the sport to the Coast as there is a good mix of sporty people here who all love the water”.

Underwater hockey is a high paced sport that is played with teams of six in snorkelling gear comprising a mask, snorkel and fi ns on the bottom of a swimming pool.

It is typically played in a 12x25 metre court where

opposing teams attempt to get the 1.5 kg puck in the opposition’s goal.

“Established underwater hockey players have excellent underwater abilities outside of the swimming pool with benefi ts such as low use of tanks when diving and exceptional free diving skills,” said Mr Wood.

Underwater hockey is played across the globe and Australia currently holds the Open World Championship title.

In NSW, underwater hockey is played in Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, Armidale, Coffs Harbour and Canberra.

The Central Coast’s future surf sport

stars Keeley Booth, Beau Jeffries, Paddy Stone, Corey Fletcher, Jaz Rodwell and Jemma Smith were busy in the fi nal days of their school holidays at the NSW Talented Athletes Program (TAP) on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

The Talented Athlete Program exposes NSW’s leading U13-15 athletes to the beginning of the Surf Life Saving NSW High Performance pathway.

Athletes that have taken part in this program in the past such as Kendrick Louis, Alyce Bennett and Jacob Lollback have gone on to win National and World Championships, represent Australia and qualify for the Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain IronMan Series.

Reigning U13 NSW Ironperson Champion Jaz Rodwell from Terrigal said

she found the program very benefi cial.

“It has been so great meeting so many different people and learning different techniques and points of views from all the different coaches.

“My favourite part has defi nitely been the surf training,” said Jaz.

Surf Life Saving NSW surf sports manager Daniel Pearce said the program was important to ensure the future of Surf Sports in NSW.

“The talented athlete program aims to educate and enhance the skills of these future stars of surf sports.

“Being exposed to world class sports science and training facilities will help them in achieving their full potential as athletes.

“We know that the future of surf sports in NSW is in good shape for years to come given the quality of athletes we have this year,” said Pearce.

All 11 SLS Branches from NSW were represented in this year’s program.

“Athletes travelled from as

far north as the Tweed and as far south as Pambula.

Forty-two competitors were selected to participate in the three day program at the Sydney Academy of Sport, from over 160 nominations received.

Eight elite coaches from throughout NSW worked with the squad in their chosen disciplines, in addition to presenters including London Olympic Gold Medalist Murray Stewart.

The action packed program is supported by NSW Sport and Recreation.

SLSNSW State coaches took the squad through surf sports specifi c training aimed at developing skills, technique and building the athletes’ understanding of the physical training required to reach their goals in surf sports competition.

The Sydney Academy of Sport educated the participants on performance enhancing theory including sports nutrition, sports psychology and goal setting.

Killcare Surf Club officials

have said they are confident their team will bring home “a heap of medals” from the World Surfing C h a m p i o n s h i p s (WSC) to be held in Adelaide from November 7 to 9.

The club has previously won four consecutive Men’s Open Beach Relay titles, which are held every second year, between 2000 and 2006 in Sydney, Italy, the USA and Lorne in Victoria.

The subsequent titles, held in Germany in 2008 and Egypt in 2010 were not contested by a team from Killcare Surf Club.

In the lead up to the global event, which will see 44 countries represented, Killcare won five gold medals in the Masters category at the Australian

Surf Championships in Kurrawa, Queensland.

Marcus Kain won the Over-35 men’s beach sprint while Michaela Hofer won the Over-35 women’s beach sprint.

Sue Purcell recorded a double in the Over-65 years women’s surf race and surf tube, and Marcus Kain, Phil Tubby, Col Tubby and Joel Maybury won the men’s beach relay team combined age of 170 years.

A number of silver and bronze medals were also awarded in the various beach and surf events.

John Bourne, who has been the club coach at Killcare Surf Club for the past 30 years, said each person was selected in the world title squad for his or her own merits.

“It’s hugely satisfying to note that our members are obviously approaching their peak form levels at the right time in their preparations,” said Mr

Bourne.“I am confident that our

community will be proud of their performances.”

Avoca Beach Surf Life Saving Club

will participate in the Navy Australia Surf Rowers League series, which kicks off in December, with a pink surf boat in memory of an inspirational club and community member.

The boat was christened in September and named Sandy Mitchell in honour of a ballet and dance teacher whose favourite colour was pink.

Sandy fought breast cancer for 10 years before

she passed away two years ago.

Sandy’s husband John, who is a life member of the Club, said he thought it would be an opportunity to help raise awareness of a variety of health issues including Breast cancer so the Club fund raised in the local community and managed to raise $32,000 to buy the boat.

The boat will be racing in a variety of different locations over the summer in the navy Australian Surf Rowers League and the Club will be using it to highlight issues such as breast cancer, men’s health and skin health over the summer.
