‘... any threat of bad weather triggers a sequence of challenges for our club ... ’ Josh Easby, the editor of RED, hopes the weather stays kind for the rest of the winter ...  THE NEXT TIME you see dark skies and clouds heading for Cambridge, spare a thought for our club volunteers who have to keep an anxious eye on the weather.

We have already had more than our usual share of ground closures, postponed games and matches shifted to different pitches for this of the season.

Apart from the disruption to players’ weekends, any threat of bad weather triggers a sequence of challenges for our club.

Will we be able to train during the week?

Will our pitches be able to cope on the Saturday — and if so, will playing on them on

Saturday cause problems for the youth and women’s teams who need them on a Sunday?

These questions have to be answered early enough for our linemarker, Graham Clark, to know which pitches have to be marked (and that’s assuming there’s a break in the weather long enough for him to do the work).

Facilities manager Craig Clark takes the forecasts into account when liaising with the Waipa District Council’s mowing team who do their best to trim the pitches so they are in the best possible condition for the weekend.

Michaela and Alistair McQuarters, our caterers, are planning hot meals for Saturday’s matches, knowing they may have to feed up to 180 people on the busiest of days.

Buying ingredients and preparing meals when games are in doubt doesn’t make their job any easier.

If conditions are marginal, grounds manager Harry Bomans will check them out on matchday, or sooner, and often the referees will send someone to give their opinion.

And after spending time and effort putting together a matchday magazine, the last thing I want is a postponment.

Let’s hope the rest of the winter is kind!

They might be hovering at the lower end of Waikato’s Division D, but our D2 men’s team know how to enjoy a day off. Having received a bye last weekend, and suitably attired, the team headed to the golf course.

Big wins a feature of last weekend’s fixtures  A FIRST HALF of misfortunes led to Cambridge dropping competition points as the first team lost 5-2 at Tauranga Old Blues.

The match in football’s Loaded WaiBOP Premiership got off to a bad start for the visiting Cambridge side with Matt Wheeler providing the home side with an own goal in his first game since returning from the United States.

Then two yellow cards saw Josh Clark — another player returning from the United States for winter football in New Zealand — ordered off.

By half-time, Cambridge trailed 3-1 and by full-time, the side had gone down 5-2, leaving them in mid-table.

Cambridge’s goalscorers were Donovan Latham and Jordan Silvester while Old Boys found the net through the own goal, Karl

Bryant, Bobby Barnes, Franz Marko and Andrew Cooper.

In the earlier game at Pemberton Park, Cambridge shared the points through a 1-1 draw with Old Boys’ second team, both goals coming after the interval.

Tauranga’s scorer was Aaron Priest while James Cakebread scored for Cambridge, his third in the competition this season.

The draw leaves Cambridge unbeaten and top of the table.

In the Waikato A division, Cambridge drew 1-1 at Waikato Unicol. Cambridge’s goal came from an own goal while Unicol scored through Jeongmin Hyun.

Continued from page 5

The Cambridge B team continued their rampant goalscoring, racking up a 13-0 victory at home against Melville United Knights, after leading 4-0 at half-time.

Goals came from the ever-busy Jason Szabo (5), Peter Buesnel (5) and Mitchell Claridge (3).

Buesnel has now scored 19 times in 8 games this season, and easily leads the club’s goalscoring table for its men’s teams.

Cambridge remain in second place on the table, behind Claudelands Rovers Squatters almost slipped up at the weekend, winning by only 4-3 at Waihi.

The D1s hosted Waikato Unicol, losing 2-0 to goals from Connelly Kekun and Andrew Huesser. The D2s had a bye.

On Sunday, the Cambridge women’s first team romped home 21-0 against bottomplaced Claudelands Rovers in the Waikato A division.

Cambridge charged to a 12-0 half-time lead and then made sure of their huge win with a strong second-half performance.

Goalscorers were Astrid Howarth (6), Marie O’Neill (5), Rebecca Brown (3), Kura Falleni (3), Hannah Buesnel, Rachel Westend, Maria Cameron and Gemma Martin.

Cambridge are now three points clear at the top of the Waikato table, averaging more than nine goals a game after seven rounds of competition.

The women’s second team lost 6-1 at home to Te Awamutu, with their goal scored by Chloe Zuppicich.

In the WaiBOP Federation U-12 boys’ league, Cambridge beat Claudelands Rovers 3-0, all the goals coming after the interval.

The team’s leading scorer, Connor Cloete, picked up a brace while Keaton Budd scored the other.

 THIS SEASON is proving to be something

special for our club’s senior strikers.

With the season not even halfway through, five players are already into double figures for their goalscoring, with a host of others not far behind.

Heading the list is men’s Division B striker Peter Buesnel who has scored 20 goals, with 19 in the league and another in the Waikato Cup. Jason Szabo has scored 11 for the B team and another in the WaiBOP Championship, while Mitchell Claridge has nine cup and league goals for the B’s.

Bethanee Witt has scored 16 for the women’s first team, followed by Astrid Howarth who has 14 (including two cup goals) and Marie O’Neill with 12.

Dave O’Donnell has registered nine goals for the D1s while Donovan ‘DJ’ Latham is top scorer in the WaiBOP Premiership side with eight.

Blue Rovers take award as region’s Club of Year  BLUE ROVERS Junior Football Club from Tauranga have been named as the 2016 WaiBOP Club of the Year.

The award was announced at last week’s WaiBOP Football Annual General Meeting, and capped a busy period of growth for the Bay of Plenty club.

Cambridge FC won the same award in 2014 and last year’s winners were Hamilton Wanderers.

To earn the accolade, the Club of the Year recipient needs to show it has excelled in a cross section of activities within the WaiBOP Football framework.

This includes GoalNet utilisation, organisational development, having club coordinators, encouraging referee education, forming alliances and links to other clubs and schools along with other community organisations, support of the junior framework and Whole of Football Plan, and generally being supportive of and communicating positively with the Federation and the footballing community.

Blue Rovers Junior Football Club has been consistent across all of the criteria and, in

particular, was very supportive of our junior programmes, including futsal, girls and bringing on coordinators.

The link forged with Tauranga Old Blues and local secondary schools as well as their physical club development has been a highlight.

Your chance to help your club  OUR CLUB needs help from a few

volunteers to ensure we continue to provide the best possible facilities and support for our senior and junior players.

Our juniors need a few volunteers willing to run the club shop on Saturday mornings on a roster basis. It’s just a few hours but makes a huge difference.

We also need volunteers to help clean the junior facilities. This can be done at a time to

suit and isn’t overly time-consuming.

And we’re still looking for someone to lead the planning of this year’s RICOH Quiz Night.

It takes place on August 12 and we need a good organiser to help make it a success.

We will provide a detailed guide to help deliver what’s needed, and you’ll be supported by others who have worked on the quiz in previous years.

These days, the club fields many teams from five-year-olds to veterans, sharing their facilities with five other groups as part of the Otumoetai Sport and Recreation Club Inc. Originally based at Belluevue Park, the club moved to Ferguson Park in 1975 and benefitted from a doubling in size of their clubroom facilities in 1988. After two years trialling a joint effort programme, 1994 saw the Albion Cricket Club formally amalgamated with the soccer club to become Otumoetai Sport and Recreation Club Inc. This gives the facilities at Ferguson Park all–year usage and the Tauranga Astronomy Club and the Matua Scouts and Guides have also adopted the expanded clubrooms as their home.

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

also led to the club’s nomination for the national Trustpower Community Awards to be held in Wellington in March 2015.

Cambridge completed its hat-trick of major awards in 2014, being named Waipa District’s Sports Club of the Year. We were finalists in the Waikato Sports Club of the Year while chairman Greg Zeuren was named Sports Administrator of the Year for both Waipa and the Waikato in 2014.  2015: As the club entered its 68th season, it did so as an all–year operation, providing winter football for 600+ players, spring/early summer 5-a-side football for social players and acting as a base for national league summer football.

It continued to make history — on February 6, 2015, it staged the first game of beach football by women played to FIFA rules and pitch standards in New Zealand, at the Karapiro Sandcourts.

In March 2015, construction began of the club’s $200,000 extension to its changing rooms, providing six more sets of showers/ changing rooms for local and visiting players.

On 25 May 2015, the club staged its first ever international match when Fiji and Hungary came to Cambridge for an U–20 international as preparation for the FIFA U–20 World Cup tournament.

In July 2015, our club was awarded the Quality Club Mark by New Zealand Football, becoming only the fourth club in our region to achieve the 1 Star status, and becoming

one of fewer than 30 clubs throughout the country to earn the QCM. In 2016, the club was acknowledged with a Community Services award from Corrections NZ for its work over three years, helping to provide work opportunities for those sentenced by courts to perform work in the community.  Our players Probably the club's best known past player is New Zealand international striker Chris Wood who joined English Championship club Leeds United for $4.6 million from Leicester City in July 2015.

Wood made his senior debut at Cambridge as a 14–year–old, having previously played for our juniors.

Another former New Zealand international is Maria Anderton, who played for the Football Ferns in 1987, and captained the Cambridge women’s A team for 12 seasons until her retirement as a player in 2014.
