‘... let’s keep our efforts, on and off the pitch, on rounding off an excellent season ... ’ Josh Easby, the editor of RED, sees the hard work of many about to pay off for our club’s players and volunteers ...  YOU CAN ACCUSE me of making a sweeping generalisation but the amount of work that goes into keeping a football club operational is 90% hard work, 9% satisfaction and 1% pure joy.

The off–the–pitch work by our volunteers is often unnoticed but provides the platform for our players to succeed on the field.

This year has been a classic example.

Assessors for our club’s Quality Club Mark (football’s quality assurance standard) estimate we benefit from about 30,000 hours a year of volunteer labour.

That’s an amazing figure but it’s why we’re

able to provide the opportunity for about 800 players (men, women, youth and juniors) to enjoy their sport every weekend.

This year, bad weather and pressure on facilities, has presented many challenges but as a club we’ve come through.

We’ve managed our resources so we’ll finish the year with a small surplus, and have banked about $15,000 towards our Junior Pitches Levelling Project.

It’s been hard work — that’s the 90% of the equation I referred to before.

But with only a few weeks to go for the season, we’re now experiencing the 9% that is satisfaction.

Our men’s teams have the chance to take both the WaiBOP Premiership and Championship titles. Our women have already taken the Waikato Women’s title.

And our B team can win the Soccer Shop Waikato Cup Final on September 9 when we again host the WaiBOP Finals Day. Let’s keep our efforts, on and off the pitch, focussed on rounding off an excellent season.

Then we can share in the 1% that is the pure joy that football can provide.

WaiBOP titles almost within our grasp

 TWO HOME games provide the chance for Cambridge to clinch both the WaiBOP Premiership and Championship titles this weekend.

With three rounds to go in both competitions, wins at John Kerkhof Park can settle the chase for honours if results elsewhere go the right way.

If Cambridge can take three points against Rotorua United in the Loaded WaiBOP Premiership, that could win the title if nearest rivals Waikato Unicol achieve anything less than a victory at Otumoetai, and if Matamata Swifts stumble at Tauranga Old Blues.

Both are tough games for our rivals, and even if they both win, we can make sure of the title with a win at Te Awamutu on September 9.

With the WaiBOP Federation Challenge Shield at stake in the game against Rotorua United, Cambridge will be keen to finish their home fixtures on a high.

In the Championship, Cambridge face Matamata Swifts this weekend, having taken a five point lead at the top of the ladder.

That makes things simple.

A win gives Cambridge a well–deserved title with two games to spare.

To put that achievement into perspective it must be remembered that in 2013, our club’s first team were runners–up in that competition, having been relegated from the Northern League the year before and with the club opting to drop two tiers of competition.

For the club’s second team to now win the championship (or Federation League 2 as it was then), would be a significant measure our the club’s progress at regional level.

Saturday’s going to be an exciting day!

Quizmaster Peter Martens (dressed in retro-style Cambridge shirt, right) delivers another round of trivia.

Juniors to benefit from Quiz Night fundraiser  CAMBRIDGE FC’s efforts to provide better playing surfaces for its young players have received a huge boost from this year’s successful RICOH Quiz Night fundraiser.

Preliminary figures show the club has raised about $6,000 to go towards its Junior Pitches Levelling Project.

About 200 enthusiastic supporters of the club took part in the quiz at Cambridge East School, combining their knowledge of trivia with raffles, silent auctions and simply having a fun evening.

Fittingly, event and club sponsor RICOH also provided the winning quiz team showing their knowledge of everything from sports and entertainment to geography and history.

Club chairman Steve Thomas said this year’s event had been outstanding and he paid tribute to the team of volunteers who organised the event, led by Vanessa Payne, Calleigh Baker, Alistair McQuarters and Jamie McKean.

Attendees were superbly coerced by MC Camille Guzwell — co-host of The Breeze breakfast show — into parting with cash

for raffles and auctions, while club president Peter Martens once again showed his skills as quizmaster.

The money raised will go towards the levelling project, which is a long-term plan to raise at least $150,000 so the junior playing fields can be professionally levelled to provide more pitches with excellent playing surfaces.

The club currently can utilise less than half the land it has available due to undulation and poor drainage.

With the quiz night funds, the club expects to finish this season with about $15,000 set aside for the project.

The club’s experience is that once it has raised about $25,000, it can then realistically seek grants from various funders .

Pub Charity gets behind our club’s goalkeepers  OUR CLUB’S UP and coming goalkeepers are getting a helping hand this year from Pub Charity.

The charitable trust has approved a grant of $3,000 to our club to help us provide much-needed kit especially for our junior goalkeepers.

While our fundraising efforts focus on providing team kits for our players, the

goalkeeper requires specialist kit with gloves and alternative colours to avoid clashes.

The Pub Charity grant has enabled us to provide our goalkeepers with the kit they need, and we thank them for their support.

Founded: 2007 Ground: Neil Hunt Park Last season: 6th Today’s visitors, Rotorua United, are a relatively new club, having been founded in 2007 after the merger of Rotorua Suburbs and Rotorua City.

Under the banner of One City, One Club, One Vision, the reformed club has been successful at every level — men, women and youth teams — and were the Waikato & Bay of Plenty Federation League One runners–up in 2010. That success had followed Bay of Plenty Championships in 2009 (Division 1) and 2008 (Division 2), while United’s women’s team became Bay 1 champions and Pullar Cup victors in their 2010 debut season. The club attributes its revival to its young players.

The club has built its recent success around the development of youth, and introduced women’s football only seven seasons ago.

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.
