‘... every year the cup provides drama and upsets — the stuff legends are made of ... ’ Josh Easby, the secretary of Cambridge Football Club, relishes another cup competition ...  THIS WEEKEND sees a return of Chatham Cup football to John Kerkhof Park.

It’s New Zealand’s oldest club competition, having started in 1923, and apart from a short absence before and during World War Two, it’s been contested 88 times.

Every year, the cup provides drama and upsets — the stuff that legends are made of.

In the last round, our visitors, University of Auckland, overcame Northern Wairoa, a Dargaville club entering the cup for the first time in its 60–year history. The cup tie, won 6–2 by the university side, was such an historic occasion in Dargaville, one supporter

watched it via a mobile phone–camera from overseas!

The Chatham Cup is available to any football side, from any level. This year, seven Sunday League teams entered, including Colo Boys FC, the Auckland outfit beaten 8–0

by Cambridge in the preliminary round.

Only one school (Timaru Boys High) entered this season but in years past, some schools have got past the opening rounds.

Reputations can be made in the cup.

In 1977, a young coach called Kevin Fallon led Nelson United to Chatham Cup victory. It launched his coaching career.

This weekend, former All White coach Fallon takes his Manukau City side to Taupo to face the WaiBOP Championship leaders in the first round of the cup.

Taupo’s coach will be Kale Herbert, the son of former All White Ricki Herbert, and it will be his first Chatham Cup as a coach.

Who’ll come out on top? The new coach from a footballing family dynasty or the old warhorse?

Only the Chatham Cup could conjure up such possibilities.

How the Chatham Cup works  CAMBRIDGE take the second step today in what will turn out to be an eight–match streak for whichever two clubs reach the final of New Zealand’s oldest club competition.

This graphic demonstrates the stages of the Chatham Cup in which 130 entries are steadily reduced to the eight sides that will go into the national draw for the quarter–finals.

In the preliminary round played over ANZAC Day weekend, Cambridge travelled to Auckland

to beat Sunday League side Colo Boys FC, while University of Auckland won 6–2 against Northern Wairoa in Dargaville.

This weekend’s Round 1 tie will reduce the number of Northern Region survivors to 32 teams, conjuring up the possibility of upsets as teams from different leagues are pitched against each other.

The Round 2 draw will be made at NZ Football headquarters early next week.

CLUB NEWS / www.cambridgesoccer.co.nz

Regional round–up  WHILE CUP FOOTBALL takes centre stage in Cambridge this weekend, the WaiBOP Premiership is already turning into a four–way tussle.

Ngongotaha have already emerged as the early pacesetter, with six wins in succession, while Rotorua United and Matamata Swifts are pressing close behind.

Cambridge, with a game in hand on the rest, sit six points off the lead and have yet to play any of the trio ahead of them.

It makes for an exciting league season.

Last weekend, Ngongotaha beat previously–unbeaten Rotorua United 2-1 thanks to a late goal from substitute Sean Kim. United has a chance to draw level with Ngongotaha on the table this Saturday when they travel to play third placed Matamata Swifts, while the Villagers turn their attention to a Chatham Cup first round encounter at NRFL Division 1 side, Metro FC. The Swifts were thankful for Frenchman Jordane Lambert who scored all three goals in a 3-2 win at Tauranga Boys College. Lambert, in his second start for Matamata, scored twice before the break after the hosts had opened the scoring early on. The game’s two second half goals came at either end of the period, with Boys College equalising not long after the break before Lambert smacked home the winner with four minutes remaining.

Reigning champions Cambridge struck twice in the second half to win 2-0 at Katikati for their fourth win in a row. Adam Brady

put the visitors ahead five minutes into the second half then Jack Taylor increased their lead on the hour.

Melville United got the better of the Hamilton derby, winning 4-2 at Gower Park over a Waikato Unicol side that appears to be on the slide. Melville did most of their damage in the first half, leading 3-1 at the turn before the two sides traded goals in the second period.

Otumoetai comfortably defeated pointless Tauranga City United 3-0 at Fergusson Park, while Old Blues and Papamoa drew 1-1 at Wharepai Domain.

WaiBOP Championship leaders Taupo remained unbeaten with their fourth win in five, a 4-2 victory at Otumoetai Reserves, while Waikato Unicol Reserves routed Whakatane Town 4-0 in Whakatane.

West Hamilton also remained unbeaten after a comfortable 4-1 win at Old Blues reserves.

In the other Championship game played, a second half strike from Jack Conner was the difference as Te Awamutu beat Matamata Reserves 1-0 at Te Awamutu Stadium.

Cambridge’s fixture against Tokoroa was postponed because of the high number of players committed to playing in the Referees’ Tournament for local schools.

Cambridge get the chance to move into the top half of the Championship table this weekend with a home game against local rivals Te Awamutu.

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.

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.”
