NZ Programme of the Year 2011

RED

LEGENDARY American football coach Vince Lombardi used to say: “Winning isn’t everything — it’s the only thing.”

While our competitive nature, and desire to succeed at top level as a club, might support that notion, we’re occasionally reminded that there’s another important element to consider — how we go about losing.

Queen’s Birthday Weekend was a case in point. On Saturday, our men’s first team travelled to Ngongotaha for a top–of–the–table clash that will play a significant part in deciding this year’s WaiBOP Premiership.

We lost 2–0.

Josh Easby, the secretary of Cambridge Football Club, reflects on two losses ...

‘... the spirit shown in the Chatham Cup tie gave us all something to cherish ... ’

Two days later, the boys backed up for a Chatham Cup tie against Central United, a star–studded side that plays three divisions higher than Cambridge.

We were expected by many to be easy meat, especially coming off the back of the disappointing result at Ngongotaha.

Instead, Cambridge lifted themselves and but for an eight–minute spell in which we conceded three goals, they matched the Aucklanders for workrate, tenacity and enterprise.

Splendid goals from Glen Carmichael and Callum MacLeod lifted the spirits of the team and their supporters, helping erase the pain of the premiership loss.

By Monday night, despite two losses, Cambridge’s players, coaches and supporters were heading home with smiles on their faces.

While the records will show losses, the quality of the performance, and the spirit shown in the Chatham Cup tie, gave all of us something to cherish.

And if the team can continue in that vein, they’ll find another gear for the rest of the season.

Much merit in cup defeat WHILE CAMBRIDGE have been knocked out from football’s Chatham Cup, their performance against five–time winners Central United earned them much respect.

Cambridge were expected by many to struggle against the Auckland club who play three divisions higher and are the winter feeder club to national champions Auckland City FC.

Instead, Cambridge matched their opponents for much of the game before bowing out of football’s oldest club competition with a respectable 4–2 loss.

Cambridge showed no signs of nerves when the game started at Central’s Kiwitea Street ground – recently rated in a national poll as the 7th best sports ground in New Zealand.

Queen’s Birthday Monday sunshine and cup football ensured strong support for both clubs with many Cambridge supporters travelling north.

The visitors took a shock lead in the 16th minute when Glen Carmichael beat two

defenders and then floated a perfectly-placed shot from 25 metres over the head of goalkeeper Danyon Drake.

Cambridge’s lead lasted only two minutes before Argentinian striker Emiliano Tade

— the only player to have played in five consecutive FIFA World Club Cup tournaments for Auckland City — found the equaliser.

Central then showed their class, scoring twice more in the 20th and 24th minutes through Frenchman Vincent Pineau and Tade again.

Trailing 3-1, Cambridge could have folded but instead the side regrouped and for the remaining hour of the cup tie, held their own.

Youngsters Callum MacLeod, Logan Wisnewski and Quest Tipping – all playing their first season of senior football – showed

confidence as they took on players with national league and international experience.

At the back, veteran Jason Chewins, Kieran Hill and American college players Matt Wheeler and Josh Clark defended tirelessly, repelling Central attacks.

But in the 78th minute, striker Nicholas Zambrano found a way through the Cambridge defence to make it 4-1.

Two minutes later, Chewins expertly played a ball wide to Cambridge’s leading goalscorer this season, MacLeod, and he kept calm to shoot past Drake from an acute angle.

After the match, Central coach José Figueira praised the Cambridge performance, acknowledging that Carmichael’s opening goal was outstanding. The goal helped earn Carmichael the Carters Cambridge Player of the Day.

Cambridge coach Brett Clark said while his team lost, sometimes they could accept results as “a good loss” and he was proud of the way the players had competed right to the final whistle.

Continued from page 5.

The cup tie capped a hectic weekend for Cambridge with the side travelling to Rotorua on Queen’s Birthday Saturday for a crucial WaiBOP Premiership clash against leaders Ngongotaha.

Cambridge lost the match 2-0, ending a streak of eight successive wins and ensuring the WaiBOP Challenge Shield stays in the Bay of Plenty.

Ngongotaha scored in the 13th and 40th minutes through Mitch Miller and Luke Barker, and remain unbeaten at the top of the competition table.

For Cambridge to retain their regional title, they will need another long winning streak and for Ngongotaha to slip up against other teams.

The Carters Cambridge Player of the Day was Josh Clark.

Meanwhile, Cambridge’s second team registered another good win , beating Ngongotaha Reserves 2-0 to move into mid-table on the WaiBOP Championship table.

Teenagers Jack O’Leary and Levi Clark scored for Cambridge.

In the Waikato Division A, Cambridge beat Melville United 2-1 with goals from Mauro Pereira and Richard Armstrong, playing his last game for Cambridge before heading overseas.

NICE TOUCH: At full–time, the Kiwitea Street scoreboard tips its hat to a brave Cambridge performance.

Matamata SwiftsFounded: 1930

Ground: Matamata Domain

Last season: 8th

Matamata Swifts AFC formed in 1930 and like many clubs from rural New Zealand have enjoyed the highs and lows of competition.

After 16 continuous seasons in the lower divisions of the Northern Regional League, Matamata were relegated to the Waikato competition at the start of 1999.

The club then battled to rebuild its top–tier team, finally winning the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Federation 1 League title in 2009. That enabled the club to re-enter the Northern League where it played mainly in the second division, but with a brief spell in the first division during the 2010 ‘restructure’ season.

The Swifts opted to drop from the Northern League in 2013 as part of a long–term plan to rebuild while playing in the WaiBOP Federation League.

In its early days, the teams played in light blue after the colours used by Cambridge University, England. 1951: The club held its first formal

meeting on March 20, 1951, appointing Viv Butler as its first president, and R.S.Entwistle as its patron.

Butler’s support of English club Arsenal led to a change of club colours and from the mid-1950s, Cambridge teams have played in red and white strips. 1957: The club played its home games

on the Town Square until 1957 when a two-room wooden shed was built on the Leamington Domain for £134.19. 1964: On December 1, 1964, the

Cambridge Borough Council agreed to provide the club with land on the town belt in Vogel Street and plans were drawn up for the clubrooms to be built. 1967: The club moved into the Vogel St

grounds, where it has been based since. The grounds were renamed John Kerkhof Park after Dutch immigrant John Kerkhof who, with members of his family and other supporters, built the clubrooms and changing facilities.

The grounds are now owned by the Waipa District Council but leased to the club on a long-term basis. 1972: The club applied for its senior

men’s team to join the Northern League competition. 1974: Extensions to the clubrooms

and playing fields became necessary and were built in 1974, with new junior grounds established beside the Polo Club grounds further north on Vogel St. 1978: The club elected its first women

committee member. 1983: Junior teams (11,12 and 13 year

olds) entered the Waikato competitions for

the first time in 1983. 1984: The club achieved its first

significant success at senior level, winning the Northern League’s 4th Division in 1984. 1993: The club reached new heights

in 1993, winning the Northern League 2nd

division. 1995: The club built a concrete car

park that’s still in use today. The car park is where the club sometimes erects temporary grandstands for major fixtures. 2005: The Waipa District Council

approved the transfer of the Polo Grounds to the football club for use by its junior players, while the polo club moved to new grounds in Lamb St, Leamington. 2007: The old polo clubhouse was

knocked down to make way for a new junior building. The Cambridge junior teams celebrated their new home by winning all five 8th-Open grade WJSA knockout trophies, a first for both Cambridge and the WJSA. 2008: The club’s main senior clubrooms

survived a tornado in late 2008 but suffered damage to walls, roof and windows, while shattered glass was sprayed over the nearby number one pitch. Other sports clubs and community groups came to help the club and helped it rebuild. 2010: The club launched a five–year

plan for its membership which had now grown to more than 600 players, with men’s, women’s and junior teams. 2011: After many seasons in the

Northern League the club was relegated from the Lotto Sport Italia NRFL Division 2 in 2011 after finishing 12th and losing the challenger series playoff vs Manukau City AFC.

The club won the New Zealand Match Programme of the Year Award for 2011. 2012: The club elected to drop two

divisions into the Waikato Bay of Plenty Football Federation Division Two to rebuild under coach Karl Dagnall and won promotion in 2012 to Waikato Bay of Plenty Football Federation Division One.

In 2012, Cambridge FC announced that John Kerkhof Park would also become the home base for Cambridge Baseball Club. 2013: Cambridge FC and the

neighbouring Cambridge Harriers and Athletics Club began a partnership, enabling the football club to play some games at the adjacent athletics track while it developed John Kerkhof Park.

In 2013, the club won the Soccer Shop Waikato Plate and hosted premium events such as the Soccer Shop Waikato Cup Final, the Waikato v Bay of Plenty All Stars game, and the WaiBOP Women's All Stars v WaiBOP National League side.

In late 2013, the club was appointed as the home ground for five ASB Premiership matches for new franchise WaiBOP United.

This meant Cambridge became one of six bases for national league football in New Zealand (the others are Auckland, Napier, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin).

The appointment led to the club becoming an all-year operation, with investment in better facilities including upgraded playing surfaces, new changing rooms (scheduled for mid–2014) and a new irrigation system. 2014: The club's first team finished

runners–up in the 2014 WaiBOP Federation Division 1, while the U-15 team won the Federation Youth League. Our women won the Waikato Women's Cup.

The Cambidge Lacrosse Club moved its playing base to John Kerkhof Park in 2014.

In 2014, the club won a series of high profile awards for its work in football and in the wider community.

WaiBOP Football named the club its 2014 Club of the Year for its successful efforts to host ASP Premiership fixtures and other premium matches.

Cambridge also won two WaiBOP Best Practice awards in 2014 (for building partnerships with sponsors, and for the participation of women at our club).

The club was named Waipa District’s 2014 Supreme winner for the Truspower Community Awards, becoming only the second sports club to take this award. This

Programme cuts injury risk CAMBRIDGE FC are getting behind a warm–up programme that has been proven to reduce the risk of injuries by 30%.

It’s the FIFA 11+ Complete Warm-Up Programme for youth and senior players and Senior Men’s Club Captain Lee Turpett and U–13 youth coach Steve Thomas recently attended a NZ Football–WaiBOP Football workshop to learn how it works.

The programme has direct performance benefits for footballers — making fitter, faster and more agile players as well as reducing the risk of all injuries by 30%.

It is designed to be delivered by coaches, is easy to learn and implement into existing training sessions and completion of the course results in FIFA 11+ certification in as

little as two hours.The All Whites and Football Ferns have

been using FIFA 11+ for some time and all the ASB Premiership teams undertook to use it last summer season.

WaiBOP Football plans to encourage all 106 affiliated clubs and schools to adopt the programme, and is running workshops to team club representatives how to use it.

So what is FIFA 11+?“The programme takes 15–20 minutes

to do and is designed to replace a standard warm–up,” explains NZ Football’s doctor, Mark Fulcher.

“If it is done twice a week, it reduces the risk of injury by 30% and the risk of severe injury by 50%. These are things like an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury in the knee.”
