‘... there was a moment last weekend that should have brought us back to Earth ... ’ Josh Easby, the editor of RED, reminds us that our goalkeepers have a big role to play in our success ...  PINCH YOURSELF and make sure you’re not dreaming — yes, we’re leading both the WaiBOP Premiership and Championship, and have regained the Federation Shield.

It’s been an exciting season already and our supporters face a thrilling finish (and, hopefully, the chance to gain promotion to the Northern League).

Unlike in previous seasons when we were primarily seen as a club with solid defences, our Premiership and Championship squads have been finding the net with a flourish.

The two sides have already scored 120 goals between them.

To put that into context, our first team has scored 69 goals this year (with six games to go), compared to the 62 goals that were enough to seal the Premiership title two years ago.

While we’re enjoying the thrill of highscoring wins, there was a moment last weekend that should have brought us back to Earth.

Up 4-0 and cruising, we conceded a penalty with half an hour to go. West Hamilton United’s spot kick was struck hard and to the right of Cambridge goalkeeper Fraser Nicholls.

Remarkably, Nicholls saved it.

At the time, the penalty save seemed almost academic. But when West Ham scored twice in added time, it provided a reality check — if the penalty had been scored, would the home side have staged a comeback?

And would the margin of our win tested a few nerves?

No matter how well we’re playing up front, let’s remember how hard our goalkeepers and their coach, Kim Brierley, have worked this year to be at their best when needed.

WaiBOP Shield returns to John Kerkhof Park  CAMBRIDGE ARE the new holders of football’s WaiBOP Federation Challenge Shield after beating West Hamilton United 5-2 last weekend.

The shield returns to Cambridge’s John Kerkhof Park, where it was last held two years ago, and the club will defend it at every home fixture for the rest of the season, starting with the match against Tauranga Old Blues.

Cambridge lifted the shield with a measured performance at United’s Weka St ground in Hamilton, providing the side with its 10th win in a row.

The victory also lifts Cambridge three points clear at the top of the WaiBOP Premiership, with six rounds to go, after all their nearest rivals dropped vital points in weekend games.

Cambridge now has the chance of finishing the season with double honours which would be a remarkable turnaround as the side was languishing near the bottom of the Premiership in May, having taken a mere seven points from their first six games.

The Reds’ latest win required steady nerves as West Ham – who took the shield from Otumoetai in an upset the week before – were fired up from the start.

For 20 minutes, the game was fought in midfield with tackles flying in and every ball being contested.

But then Callum MacLeod put Cambridge ahead with a tap in at the far post after Donovan Latham had done well to cross through a crowd of defenders.

Latham was again the provider five minutes later when he sent MacLeod racing through for an angled one-on-one with United ‘keeper Robbie Diaz. continued on page 7

Cambridge B are ninety minutes from cup final  CAMBRIDGE’S men’s B team are one game away from reaching the final of this year’s Soccer Shop Waikato Cup. Our club hosts the cup semi-final, between Cambridge B and Melville United B, this weekend to determine who meets the winner of the other cup semi-final, Melville United A or Otorohanga B. To reach the semi-finals, Cambridge B have beaten Hamilton Wanderers Classics in the quarter-finals (won 6-1), Claudelands Rovers (won 4-1) and Te Awamutu A (won 2-1). The side had a first round bye.

Cambridge last reached the cup final in 2013 when the club’s Division A side were beaten by Hamilton Wanderers Classics.

The B team go into the semi-final after a 4-1 win against Waikato Unicol in which the scorers were Jason Szabo (2), Peter Buesnel and Blair Ludlum.

Szabo and Buesnel have now scored 37 goals between them this year, with Buesnel leading the race for his team’s Golden Boot with 23 goals.

Reds increase lead in Premiership continued from page 5

MacLeod expertly fired across the ‘keeper and into the far corner of the goal.

Falling behind by two goals seemed to rattle the home side whose players gave away a succession of free kicks, while the Cambridge team remained calm.

This paid off as the first half entered added time and skipper Patrick Woodlock hooked a clearance from a corner over the United defenders for Latham to prod past Diaz.

Ten minutes into the second half, MacLeod completed his hat-trick when he broke clear of the United defence and slotted his shot just inside the post.

In the 57th minute, referee Andy Holdsworth awarded the home side a penalty after Cambridge’s Kieran Hill handled.

United’s Harry Christensen-Rose smashed the spot kick but Cambridge goalkeeper Fraser Nichols pulled off an excellent save to keep the margin 4-0.

In the 73rd minute, Aaron Huesser got on the end of a Matt Wheeler free kick to send his looping header over Diaz and into the net.

The goal was special for both players as they both leave for overseas after this match.

To their credit, West Hamilton never stopped playing and Cambridge lost concentration late in the game, allowing Christensen-Rose and Jarred Tooley to score consolation goals in added time.

While Cambridge took three important league points from the match, their nearest rivals all failed to win.

Second-placed Waikato Unicol drew 0-0 with Te Awamutu, while third-placed Tauranga Old Blues drew 1-1 with Otumoetai.

Old Blues FC was founded 13 years ago, the brain child of Steve Worlsey and John Cooper who were discussing the possibility of entering a team of mates into the local leagues.

From those beginnings the club has slowly grown until the point it now has five teams covering all skill levels and genders The club achieved its biggest success when winning the 2011 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Federation Division 1.

The side challenged for a place in the Northern League but was beaten in the play– offs by Manukau City who then replaced Cambridge in the competition.

Old Blues finished 6th on the 2014 table, and then improved to 4th position in 2015.

Last season, they finished 7th in the WaiBOP Premiership.

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.

Cambridge juniors to earn international honours include Tayla Christensen and Katie Hoye (Football Ferns), Jamie Woodlock (NZ U–17s and Papua New Guinea national squad), and Che Bunce (All Whites).  Life Members Elected life members: Vic Butler, W.J.Sugden, Bert van Doorne, Eric Sugden, John Kerkhof, Alan Busst, Harry Bekkers, Hans Rakely, Rod Larnach, Kerry Dauphin, Bill Brown, Robert Bradley, Peter Martens.
