Interesting AGM ...<br />
gm@footballsouth.co.nz<br />
Were you sitting up at the back ? Or near the bar and the<br />
savouries, with svelte Susan pouring me a Guiness then a<br />
Drambuie chaser - what a great meeting.<br />
In reality the Meeting covered a huge range of<br />
<strong>to</strong>pics from Dunedin’s bid for FIFA U20 World Cup in 2015<br />
- <strong>to</strong> a lady who is worried about offsides in small sided<br />
junior games and the prevalence of ‘ Seagulls’ or as we<br />
used <strong>to</strong> call them, ‘poachers.’<br />
Rab<br />
The 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup will be the<br />
twentieth edition of the U-20 World Cup, since its inception in 1977 as the FIFA<br />
World Youth Championship.<br />
The competition will be held in New Zealand,with between 6 <strong>to</strong> 8 cities<br />
expected <strong>to</strong> host matches and an optimistic group led by Fsouth Chairman Dougal<br />
- McGowan not Downie - is pushing <strong>to</strong> present Dunedin’s best case as a venue.<br />
He makes the point that even a thousand or two dollars raised by each of<br />
Fsouth’s 70 odd clubs, could really help the decision makers look <strong>South</strong>.<br />
A cold splash of reality was - that unless we are involved in the U20<br />
<strong>to</strong>urney, our likelyhood of a generous FIFA grant for an artificial turf would be<br />
more than remote. Every club should have a copy of the<br />
AGM report available for people <strong>to</strong> peruse, and if not, whip out your smart phone,<br />
or wood fired PC and check the document online at Fsouth’s site.<br />
Its not often that ODT soccer guy gets it right, but saying that Grants<br />
Braes and Northern had exciting attacks, and deplorable defences, was about<br />
http://www.footballsouth.co.nz/ right when the score came in at 5-<br />
http://www.footballsouth.co.nz/ 4, with the last goal coinciding with<br />
the final whistle, and Murray<br />
swooning on the <strong>to</strong>uchline...<br />
And now there could be<br />
new members on the Fsouth<br />
Board <strong>to</strong> help replace Clare Taylor<br />
and so on.<br />
At least two likely lads<br />
have applied, and since the Board<br />
has the power <strong>to</strong> co-opt - hey -<br />
this could be your chance <strong>to</strong> help<br />
shape the destiny of <strong>Football</strong> in<br />
Enzed.<br />
Think about it.<br />
OK, but it had better not be any<br />
Rab.<br />
more of your half-baked ideas..<br />

Another<br />
3 Points<br />
Old Boys started the first half in<strong>to</strong> the wind but by half<br />
time the score was 2-0 <strong>to</strong> the home team. Increasingly<br />
confident and in form striker Robbie Goodwillie turned<br />
beautifully in Mosgiel’s box and drilled the ball in at the<br />
far post <strong>to</strong> open the scoring early in the first half.<br />
Influential midfielder Barry Gardiner tapped in from a<br />
great Atain Halley cross from the right hand side <strong>to</strong><br />
round out the first half scoring.<br />
In the second half Old Boys opened the scoring<br />
again this time through school boy Jack Boland who<br />
rose high <strong>to</strong> head home a pin point Barry Gardiner free<br />
kick.<br />
To their credit Mosgiel did not give up and were<br />
still fashioning chances through hard work and sheer<br />
determination.<br />
Veteran striker Phil Kelly was a handful at times<br />
and went close <strong>to</strong> scoring several times. An Old Boys<br />
error in the back line opened up a one on one<br />
opportunity which was clinically dispatched <strong>to</strong> make the<br />
score 3-1. A soft penalty was awarded which Mosgiel<br />
gratefully converted <strong>to</strong> make the score 3-2 and made<br />
for an interesting last 10 minutes which included an Old<br />
Boys penalty which was saved by the excellent Mosgiel<br />
keeper.<br />
At the final whistle Old Boys had<br />
held on <strong>to</strong> bank another valuable 3<br />
points.<br />
Next week we face a demanding<br />
away double header; Green Island at<br />
Sunnyvale on Saturday in round 8 of<br />
the league and Cavy at Tonga Park in<br />
the Chatham Cup. Both games<br />
represent a chance <strong>to</strong> show we can<br />
get results playing teams above us in<br />
the league.<br />

University<br />
Head Coach, Luiz Uehara<br />
Varsity <strong>1st</strong> <strong>to</strong>ok out Green Island in a 3-2<br />
grind. GI were lively at the start and went up 1-<br />
0, after rare error in defence was punished by<br />
a clinical finish. We kept our cool and a break<br />
down the left allowed Pete Rae <strong>to</strong> calmly slot<br />
the Ifeanyi’s squared ball just before half time.<br />
The first half had efficient passing from both<br />
teams with high tempo and movement while<br />
we enjoyed the majority of the clear cut<br />
chances, going in<strong>to</strong> the break with confidence.<br />
High pressure in the first 10 minutes of the<br />
2nd half resulted in two quick goals <strong>to</strong> us. The<br />
first a well struck penalty from Pete Rae,<br />
finding the bot<strong>to</strong>m left corner and the second<br />
was a high cross from Josh Jones, which was<br />
followed in by Ifeanyi. The resulting confusion<br />
in the goal mouth saw the keeper eventually<br />
taking the ball in<strong>to</strong> his own net. GI weren’t<br />
happy, we were. 3-1 up.<br />
The desire <strong>to</strong> win this game was typified by<br />
the non-paying staff on the sidelines and this<br />
spurred both teams on. Varsity played it safe<br />
and sat deep for the remainder of the match<br />
and GI piled on the pressure. Our defence again proved solid with Jeff Potrich superb in<br />
goal. He is such a reassuring presence. A late penalty for GI made for a tense final few<br />
minutes but our desire, attitude and effort got us over the line, even if it was ugly. The 3-2<br />
win taking us equal on points, at the <strong>to</strong>p of the table. Exciting times<br />
ahead.<br />
2nds managed <strong>to</strong> grind out a 2-1 win against<br />
Northern. The confusion over the field transfer,<br />
resulted in us rushing over <strong>to</strong> Tahuna Park at<br />
the last minute and kicking-off late. This<br />
showed in the early stages of the<br />
game with us conceding<br />
early on, a good finish<br />
from Northern. The game<br />
was a scrappy affair with<br />
few periods of sustained<br />
possession from either
gm@footballsouth.co.nz<br />
side but we stuck in and were still creating<br />
chances. A shot cross from Rory Dunc Macleod<br />
and a screamer from Michael Bloy either side<br />
of halftime gave us the win. We’re starting <strong>to</strong><br />
turn results in our favour which is a positive.<br />
MOTM was Nic Gunn for a game changing<br />
performance of the bench.<br />
Varsity <strong>3rd</strong>s played Roslyn away at<br />
Ellis Park. Varsity started strongly, turning<br />
their efforts in<strong>to</strong> three first half goals.<br />
However, Roslyn refused <strong>to</strong> lie down, scoring<br />
two second half-goals <strong>to</strong> leave the match<br />
finely balanced with twenty minutes <strong>to</strong> play.<br />
Varsity thwarted any chance of a Roslyn<br />
comeback with two late goals. Final score 5 -<br />
2.<br />
4ths played Caversham in a match<br />
that would send the winner <strong>to</strong>p of the table.<br />
Varsity dominated the first quarter of the<br />
game, but couldn't capitalise on their<br />
chances. Caversham came back with two<br />
goals, displaying skills and effective passing<br />
play, as well as another after the break. An<br />
Evan Curry penalty gave the students hope of<br />
a comeback, but despite heavy pressure in<br />
the dying stages, we couldn't find a way<br />
Give us a smile<br />

Senior Women played D-Tech Swans away at Culling Park. The girls did well <strong>to</strong><br />
find space and create plenty of attacking opportunities on a small, narrow, boggy<br />
pitch. Their hard work was rewarded, scoring 7 goals. D-tech created chances<br />
on the counter attack, scoring from a corner.<br />

2-1 Win<br />
Roslyn-Wakari<br />
After a big wait the 125 is finally here, a big welcome <strong>to</strong><br />
all of those that have travelled from far and wide and a<br />
massive thanks <strong>to</strong> all of those that have made the<br />
weekend happen!<br />
It felt like the 125<br />
Sam scores....<br />
th celebrations started a week early with<br />
epic encounter for the first team at Forsyth Barr<br />
Stadium against Cavvy.<br />
In game that ebbed and flowed, cheered on by<br />
some vocal support the lads came from behind <strong>to</strong> grab a<br />
memorable win. Fras got the opener and Sammy got a<br />
screamer <strong>to</strong> win the game, POD was Nando who was<br />
superb once again. It’s been a great couple of weeks<br />
with some intense games and the Stumpy next week will<br />
no doubt be another big game; and it’s still only the first<br />
round.<br />
The AJ Grant Seconds also had a very tight<br />
game grabbing a point in a scrappy game out at<br />
Memorial. Marty got the<br />
opener and Mosgiel got a<br />
late equaliser, but both sides had chances <strong>to</strong> win<br />
the game, POD went <strong>to</strong> Ryan, a big thanks <strong>to</strong> Matt<br />
Fallows and Alex who stepped up from the Thirds<br />
and showed they are good enough <strong>to</strong> play at this<br />
level.<br />
The ABL lads went down 5-2 <strong>to</strong> a very good<br />
Varsity side. Down 3-0 the lads showed good<br />
character <strong>to</strong> get back in<strong>to</strong> the game with goals<br />
from Matt Hunter and Vas Te Berrends, but win<br />
their talisman left the comeback waned and Varsity<br />
got a couple of goals as we pushed forward. POD<br />
went <strong>to</strong> Steve.<br />
The Whites upset the Blacks in a typical Roslyn<br />
derby. The Blacks came back after trailing 2-0 at<br />
half-time but the Whites held on. POD for the<br />
Whites went <strong>to</strong> Dave and for the Blacks it went <strong>to</strong><br />
Brownie, who is rumoured <strong>to</strong> be attracting offers<br />
from the Chennai Super Kings <strong>to</strong> join their
The Winner 2-1<br />

coaching staff next year.<br />
The Chargers, led by guest star Sam ‘The Weapon’ Tuitupo-Verwey, gave<br />
high flying Norzen a run for their money up at altitude, but some late goals aided by<br />
some referring decision that Foz didn’t agree with, meant a 3-0 loss.<br />
The Originals led the Stallions 2-1 at half time, but superior skill and fitness<br />
prevented a huge upset and the Stallions ran out 5-2 winners. Blackie, Den and in<br />
particular POD Richie s<strong>to</strong>od out for the Originals. For the Stallions Sherb, Doc, Mikey<br />
and Zippy all made a big difference in the second half, POD was Scotty who was<br />
superb for the full 80. Goalscorers were Sid, Richie, Sherb, Marc, Jas, Chopper and<br />
Scotty.<br />
The Moa’s went down 3-2 <strong>to</strong><br />
Norzen but the score wasn’t a fair reflection<br />
Ellis on Sunday<br />
on the game, according <strong>to</strong> Mini Northern<br />
should have won by more but it wasn’t largely<br />
thanks <strong>to</strong> a magnificent performance by<br />
Harlem in goals. Next week its sure <strong>to</strong> be a<br />
clean sheet as ‘Fingers’ Aitken is back in<br />
goal. The Women’s Prems advanced <strong>to</strong><br />
the next round of the National http://www.footballsouth.co.nz/<br />
Knockout Cup<br />
with a 7-0 win over Northern. http://www.footballsouth.co.nz/<br />
POD Mary got a<br />
hatty, Sam got 1 and laid on 3, Kush got a<br />
birthday tap in, Jords got 1 and Alex got the<br />
goal of the game.<br />
The Senior Whites beat Green Isle<br />

The Blacks had 4-1 win over Caversham.<br />

The Green Island Premier team played Varsity at Sunnyvale. We were 1-0 and<br />
were cruising, a mistake cost us procession and they counter attacked and<br />
scored right on half time.<br />
One minute in<strong>to</strong> the second conceded a dubious penalty and then<br />
conceded another not <strong>to</strong>o long after. The Uni keeper was outstanding, We<br />
scored another dubious penalty ourselves, had more chances, hit the post and<br />
just couldn’t score.<br />
Man of the Match: Dan Rutter<br />
The 2 nd Team Boys played well in the first half leading 1-0. We were<br />
asleep in the second half costing us 3 goals before we hit back. Final score was<br />
4-2 down. Sam Brouwer<br />
The Third Team had a disappointing game. Tech wanted <strong>to</strong> be there, wanted <strong>to</strong><br />
play and wanted <strong>to</strong> win. We lost 4-1. The boys need <strong>to</strong> take a long hard look at<br />
themselves. Onwards and upwards. MOM Greg Samson. Wayne Henderson<br />
The 4 th Team After a frustrating first 45 minutes our young boys finally<br />
got it <strong>to</strong>gether and played some great football, getting down the flanks and<br />
scoring some goals. Final result 5-1 <strong>to</strong> us. Jacob Cromb getting a hat trick and<br />
Hamish and Blair found space down<br />
the flanks and set up many<br />
opportunities but a stand out<br />
performance from Rawiri Campbell<br />
saw him pick up 2 goals. Ra’s<br />
performance was just what the team<br />
needed and thoroughly deserved his<br />
MOM award. Gee Dee.<br />
The Fifth Team played Northern<br />
at Sunnyvale. 2 all draw. The team<br />
played really well. Had a few injuries<br />
and thanks <strong>to</strong> Kev Scoullar for filling<br />
in. 2 good goals <strong>to</strong> Ryan. Dave<br />
Mil<strong>to</strong>n<br />
The Oldies Green 35’s Playing<br />
Tech Colts was one of the games we<br />
let go last year, this year we turned<br />
it around. The game finished 3-1 <strong>to</strong><br />
Green Island, but easily could have<br />
Page 10

been double figures if we <strong>to</strong>ok half our chances. Fortunately the misses weren’t<br />
costly and a win was secured. Woodsy claimed all 3 goals in a game that<br />
always seemed in our control. Clear <strong>3rd</strong> by 6 points with 3 <strong>to</strong> play <strong>to</strong> the half<br />
way point. Lets keep it going. Steve Fairley<br />
The Oldies Gold 45’s start of the second round and we were up against<br />
Grants Braes <strong>to</strong> whom we lost 5-6 in our first game. Even contest with both goal<br />
keepers contributing <strong>to</strong> a 0-0 score at half time. A well taken goal from Braes put<br />
our boys under pressure in the second half but we didn’t give up and Rangi Junior<br />
put in a good run and cross that even Fadgie couldn’t miss. Final score 1-1. Man<br />
of the match Rangi Junior<br />

So close ... 3-2<br />
Page 14<br />
Mosgiel<br />
The Firsts had a quick opportunity <strong>to</strong> overturn our cup exit at the hands of old<br />
boys when we ventured south again. This time we never got going ; 0-2 at h/t ,0-3<br />
with 30 <strong>to</strong> go and we had Tom Stevens in goals, who was making his <strong>1st</strong> team<br />
debut this year , <strong>to</strong> thank as Tom single handily kept old boys at bay- he saved a<br />
pen , pulled off another<br />
Four classy saves. Couple young guys came up<br />
from the 2nds and played well- Sam, Andrej and TK.<br />
Dunny finally had a goal allowed with 10 <strong>to</strong> go and when<br />
Reg scored from the spot we threatened <strong>to</strong> steal a point<br />
however OBs held on for their deserved win.<br />
The <strong>to</strong>p of the Fletchers is extremely with 5<br />
teams separated by the narrowest of margins and we<br />
came up against Roslyn who were in heaven when we<br />
were down <strong>to</strong> 10 men with only 15 mins on the clock when<br />
Keegan was ordered off-Roslyn scored what may have<br />
been slighlty offside . The boys battled back<br />
and Woody equalised in the 2nd half and the game was a<br />
great tussle and in homage <strong>to</strong> his retiring hero SAF -<br />
coach Andy was ordered from the side line.<br />
A 1-1 final result means the fletcher cup is<br />
definitely tighter and more exciting than the bundesliga.<br />
Good news for the club is that after Gary Barclay<br />
“walked in<strong>to</strong> a stiff arm” last week he got out of hospital on<br />
Wednesday having only cracked his C2 vertebrae which<br />
means he can still walk and he’s still alive. He’ll be in a<br />
head and neck brace for 12 weeks and we some how<br />
think he won’t be <strong>to</strong>o keen <strong>to</strong> play in that gentlemans<br />
league that is masters.<br />
Without him the mosgiel Gerries had a good<br />
result 4-4 with Braes. Oldies United hit spanked 4-1<br />
against Melchester with Burgie skying a last min pen.<br />
Masters got trumped 2-4 v Frotts with Foz and<br />
Simon dragging us back <strong>to</strong> 2-2 but despite throwing<br />
everything at the Frotts we weren’t able <strong>to</strong> “rub” them out.<br />

Why s<strong>to</strong>p at JUST Goal line Technology ?<br />
Maybe some techno help is needed for Players<br />
and Coaches <strong>to</strong>o ?<br />
The watch on the right could also have<br />
Coaches signalling when <strong>to</strong> shoot, and maybe a<br />
wee electric shock <strong>to</strong> stress the point.<br />
beat the keeper.<br />
Of<br />
course, our<br />
man between<br />
the sticks is<br />
often a<br />
traditional type and they usually opt for a Watch<br />
Tat<strong>to</strong>o, describing their re-actions. This watch can<br />
also help defenders <strong>to</strong> time their tackles.<br />
But when the last defender is faced with a<br />
1v1, the whole bench sends 240 volt advice for a<br />
And it might slow things a little but the pic<br />
on the left, could compute the proper trajec<strong>to</strong>ry,<br />
speed and swerve for maximum efficiency <strong>to</strong><br />
hip-high Kamakaze tackle, NOW! as on the left.<br />
Another imperative command is often mentally<br />
sent <strong>to</strong> the striker who has drifterd past a couple<br />
of tackles in<strong>to</strong> the heart of the oppositions penalty<br />
http://www.footballsouth.co.nz/<br />
box, and the coach presses<br />
http://www.footballsouth.co.nz/<br />
his command which trills<br />
the Strikers red alarm,<br />
and he swan dives in<strong>to</strong><br />
Strika<br />
the earth - Penalty !<br />
But NO its outside the<br />
box, and Its only fair that the Ref gets in<strong>to</strong> the action<br />
and only Richard Roberts has a James Bond watch<br />
with its internal micro accurate laser tape capable of<br />
accurately minutely<br />
measuring critical<br />
distances, <strong>to</strong> make<br />
sure the Player Wall<br />
is far enough back <strong>to</strong> comply with FIFA Rule<br />
No. 47b, sub para 19, which states, ‘ Eeh lad,<br />
get it right, the whole worlds watching you,<br />
don’t stuff it up ....’<br />

Milk Cup Squad Selected<br />
gm@footballsouth.co.nz<br />
The <strong>2013</strong> Milk Cup Squad <strong>to</strong> compete in Coleraine Northern<br />
Ireland has been announced and is as follows:<br />
Jordan Howey-Beattie, Blair Bates, Matthew Kelly,<br />
Ben Heinemann, Jacob Cromb, Henry Cray<strong>to</strong>n, Tsukasa<br />
Inoue, Boon Ozawa, Andrew Marshall, Keegan Taig, Kyle<br />
Beluscak, Liam Gerathy, Ryan Thom, Lew Gordon, Riley<br />
Bungard, James Tucker, Connor Beluscak, Kieran McIntyre.<br />
Following a training camp from the 14 <strong>to</strong> the 19 July the squad will depart on<br />
the 20 July via Los Angeles where they will play the Galaxy Youth and possibly the<br />
Chivas Youth squads. Once in Ireland they will face the <strong>to</strong>p Mexican side Club<br />
Americana Mexico.<br />
The lads are excited at the prospect of playing such opposition and who<br />
knows who will be encountered in the subsequent rounds of the Milk Cup competition.<br />
Traveling via the US has posed a couple of unexpected expenses. For<br />
example the squad will have <strong>to</strong> pay for training venues while in LA plus contribute <strong>to</strong> the<br />
cost of ground hire for the games against Chivas<br />
and Galaxy ($US1575) and a further $NZ2000 on<strong>to</strong><br />
the Insurance bill.<br />
So in short folks any financial help that you<br />
may be able <strong>to</strong> give <strong>to</strong> either the lads directly or <strong>to</strong><br />
the <strong>to</strong>ur group in <strong>to</strong>tal will be much appreciated and<br />
help significantly in meeting the short fall in<br />
finances.<br />
This will be a life and football experience<br />
second <strong>to</strong> none and we are extremely privileged <strong>to</strong> be able <strong>to</strong> offer this opportunity<br />
once again <strong>to</strong> lads from the southern region who have his<strong>to</strong>rically struggled <strong>to</strong> achieve<br />

recognition in the national selection process.<br />

Writing this before the AGM, and looking back <strong>to</strong> 2012, I would like <strong>to</strong> remind you<br />
of the great work done by staff and volunteers all over the Federation. They work<br />
above and beyond the call of duty <strong>to</strong> organise and deliver the game <strong>to</strong> our far<br />
flung outposts - from Geraldine through Timaru and up the Waitaki Valley (eg with<br />
the Riverside Club), <strong>to</strong> all points Central ( eg Queens<strong>to</strong>wn Rovers in the ASB<br />
Womens Knockout Cup at the Stadium yesterday), and down through Balclutha<br />
and Gore <strong>to</strong> Invercargill (with Old Boys now flying the flag in the Premiership).<br />
We are conscious that <strong>Football</strong> <strong>South</strong> is not just about what happens in<br />
Dunedin. ( see the reports from the Districts in the Annual<br />
Report - online at www.footballsouth.co.nz )<br />

1-2 Loss<br />
Caversham<br />
There were some mixed results<br />
through the various divisions<br />
this week.<br />
Our Firsts suffered<br />
their first loss of the season<br />
going down 2 - 1 <strong>to</strong> Roslyn.<br />
This makes for a very<br />
interesting table with any one<br />
of 5 teams in the mix nearing<br />
the halfway point of the<br />
season. This is great for<br />
football in the <strong>South</strong>.<br />
The Fletcher Cup side<br />
ran out comfortable winners<br />
over Balclutha thumping them 6 - nil in what can sometimes be a <strong>to</strong>ugh road trip.<br />
The <strong>3rd</strong>s started really well against Northern and got up 2, as well as<br />

coming close a few more times, and could have<br />
done with a few more as we let them back in<strong>to</strong><br />
the game.<br />
Thought we might have been able <strong>to</strong> hang on<br />
after pulling back <strong>to</strong> 3-2 after letting the lead go.<br />
But let slip and couldn’t hold them out till<br />
the end, and after they equalised again we<br />
were gutted <strong>to</strong> have them score in the last<br />
minute <strong>to</strong> beat us 4-3. Alan.<br />
Caversham Smeg. In football like<br />
aircrashes there is usually, when investigated<br />
thoroughly, an abundance of errors that<br />
individually seem insignificant but when found<br />
in sequence will inevitably lead <strong>to</strong> catastrophy.<br />
For Smeg the failure of key team<br />
members <strong>to</strong> show up, not passing <strong>to</strong> our team<br />
mates, passing the ball <strong>to</strong> the oposition instead,<br />
not training yet this season, shooting wide, not<br />
shooting at all and not s<strong>to</strong>pping Melchester from<br />
shooting clearly lead <strong>to</strong> another momen<strong>to</strong>us failure on our part <strong>to</strong> increase our<br />
points tally.<br />
The game was played in good spirit, refereeing<br />
was great and on the up side... it didnt rain.<br />
2-nil Melchester. Shane.<br />
The Eagles won again beating a <strong>to</strong>ugh University<br />
http://www.footballsouth.co.nz/<br />
side 3 - 1 and that is now 7 straight wins putting them<br />
http://www.footballsouth.co.nz/<br />
3 points clear at the <strong>to</strong>p after Roslyn White upset<br />
Roslyn Black.<br />
The Phoenix from all accounts had another win<br />
and the over 35s were left <strong>to</strong> ref the other games<br />
in that division as they had the bye this<br />
weekend. Probably not a<br />
bad thing as some of those old legs look<br />
as though they needed<br />
some R and R.<br />

How refreshing it was on Saturday <strong>to</strong> ask a new ref how he was enjoying it and getting an<br />
“I’m loving it” reply.<br />
Over recent years we have lost some of our best refs in the south, Alex Wilson,<br />
Wayne Rayner and Dean Seager in particular and that left us short not only of <strong>to</strong>p refs but<br />
also short of refs at all.<br />
However the ranks have been swelled this season with the inclusion of Craig<br />
Cooper, Craig Smith, Craig Campbell, Paul Russell, Mark Dungey and Martin Shadman. I<br />
wish them all well.<br />
On Saturday I watched Craig Smith do his first Donald<br />
Gray Cup senior men’s game and was impressed with the<br />
former Queens Park player’s performance, particularly the<br />
lines he ran, his communication skill and his management of<br />
player dissent.<br />
There’s not much more <strong>to</strong> it really I suppose, oh!!! and<br />
knowledge of the rules…nearly forgot that.<br />
The game flowed as a result and that’s what it’s all<br />
about. So it’s up <strong>to</strong> the players, administra<strong>to</strong>rs and sideline<br />
experts <strong>to</strong> give the newies and their colleagues the respect<br />
they deserve and let them get on with it.<br />
Any dealings I ever had with former <strong>Football</strong>south ref<br />
development officer Chris Boyd were <strong>to</strong>p class and with<br />
Wilson James now in the role i’m sure the good relationship<br />
Craig<br />
among referees will continue <strong>to</strong> flourish.<br />
Peter McAnelly does a grand job down here managing<br />
the appointments and each week retains his hairline and<br />
beard despite getting <strong>to</strong> version 7 some weeks.<br />
Next Monday it’s Chatham Cup day and <strong>South</strong>land teams Old Boys and Queens<br />
Park meet Caversham (in Dunedin) and Roslyn (in Invercargill) respectively. Cup day is<br />
something I for one always look forward <strong>to</strong> and Queens Birthday Monday is no exception.<br />

Technology has a part <strong>to</strong> play in refereeing the game of football.<br />
First there was one referee,<br />
then he/she was joined by two assistants. Then they added a fourth official. Then they<br />
added two more additional “goal-line” assistants for the highest level games. Now we<br />
have goal-line technology getting the green light.<br />
Are people admitting that as the game gets faster and more skilful, making the<br />
right call is getting harder? That it is <strong>to</strong>o difficult <strong>to</strong> be ‘all -seeing’, that it takes a highly<br />
skilled “team”’ of officials <strong>to</strong> control all aspects of a game.<br />
Or is it just that technological advances in any sport is inevitable?<br />
Well done <strong>to</strong> the English Premier league in leading the way for domestic goalline<br />
technology, (<strong>to</strong> be introduced in the <strong>2013</strong>-2014 season). I think it is well overdue<br />
and a pity that FIFA have taken so long <strong>to</strong> recognise the benefits it will bring. Not that it<br />
will make a difference <strong>to</strong> me at Sunnyvale or Ellis park.<br />
We’ve all seen the ‘howlers’ of non-goals over the years, and some of them<br />
have been so obvious that it beggars belief. I for one welcome any technology that<br />
allows referees <strong>to</strong> make the right decision on goals scored. Why shouldn’t the men and<br />
women making the calls on<br />
http://www.footballsouth.co.nz/<br />
the pitch have the benefit of replays and slow mo’s for<br />
crucial decisions that could<br />
http://www.footballsouth.co.nz/<br />
effect the result of a game?<br />
The media<br />
certainly uses them <strong>to</strong><br />
crucify the officials post<br />
match.<br />
I am not suggesting we<br />
slow down our beautiful<br />
game with endless<br />
replays on every call, like<br />
our oval ball counterparts,<br />
but surely Goal / No Goal<br />
is simple enough <strong>to</strong> get<br />
right with a minimum of<br />
fuss.<br />
Keep your eyes peeled!<br />

Good - but not enough ..<br />
The Prems had a late game at the Caledonian v Grants Braes.<br />
Braes were without a point and we only had single win <strong>to</strong> show for our efforts, so it was a<br />
must win game for us.<br />
And things were going on track, we dominated the first 15 minutes and the that's<br />
when the break through came, Cam Higgins made a break on the left which saw his shot<br />
well saved but Angus was there <strong>to</strong> score from a tight angle with the rebound.<br />
Braes looked dangerous when going forward and when their striker got put through<br />
on goal he did well <strong>to</strong> chip the keeper <strong>to</strong> make 1 - 1. Then Paolo scored a cracking goal<br />
in<strong>to</strong> his own net, so we were down 2 - 1 after 30 minutes. But my boys responded well and<br />
Cam Higgins was rewarded for his run in<strong>to</strong> the box converting a low cross 2-2.<br />
And just before half time we had the lead back, Angus beat the offside trap and<br />
cooly converted <strong>to</strong> give us a 3-2 lead at half time. 2nd half was pretty tight we were still<br />
attacking trying <strong>to</strong> get a 4th but with the scoreline was still 3-2 with only 6 minutes when we<br />
made an error, the keeper kicking<br />
the ball in<strong>to</strong> their striker and<br />
watched the ball balloon over him<br />
and in<strong>to</strong> the net. Needless <strong>to</strong> say<br />
Muzz wasn't happy!<br />
But in the 89th minute when<br />
we were throwing everything<br />
forward our centre centre back<br />
Norbert <strong>to</strong>wered above everyone<br />
<strong>to</strong> head home what we thought<br />
was the winner. Up 4 - 3 in the<br />
90th minute it should have been<br />
game over but Braes didn't give<br />
up and with their best attacking<br />
play of the game they scored in<br />
injury time <strong>to</strong> make it 4-4.<br />
Muzz was on his knees<br />
not believing what he was seeing.<br />
The game wasn't over though,<br />
and although the coach was<br />
deflated the players kept going,<br />
and again with a cross in<strong>to</strong> the<br />
box Norbert again <strong>to</strong>wered above<br />
everyone <strong>to</strong> score the winner<br />
with a thumping header!<br />
Emmet Game over a 5-4 win <strong>to</strong><br />
Northern. Muzz didn't know<br />
whether <strong>to</strong> laugh, cry, bitch or<br />

moan but we were definitely all relieved <strong>to</strong> get the 3<br />
points which we deserved. Well done boys for<br />
playing <strong>to</strong> the final minute and never giving up!<br />
It was a great game <strong>to</strong> watch from the<br />
stands but not one <strong>to</strong> be a coach !<br />
The forths derby was the big feature of the<br />
weekend - unfortunately the weather <strong>to</strong>ok a little of<br />
the gloss off with the game transferred off the<br />
Gardens up <strong>to</strong> Forrester. To add <strong>to</strong> the spectacle,<br />
the game was officated in formal style with Becks<br />
controlling the game ably assisted by Pres and<br />
Vice-Pres running the lines.<br />
The game was played with a great deal of<br />
early skill from both teams and good passages of<br />
play. THe 4Bs (in the Maroon) scored first with a<br />
well created chance, the 4As (in black & White)<br />
battled <strong>to</strong> <strong>to</strong> get back in<strong>to</strong> the game and the scores<br />
were tied at 2 all at the half. The second half was a<br />
different affair as the 4As <strong>to</strong>ok control of the game<br />
and dominated, scoring 4 good goals. The 4Bs<br />
continued <strong>to</strong> play good football but failed <strong>to</strong> deal with<br />
the relentless pressure the As applied. Final Score<br />
6 - 2 win <strong>to</strong> the 4As. 4As PoD Max, 4Bs PoD<br />

The other results had the 2nds go down<br />
2-1 <strong>to</strong> University after a late start <strong>to</strong> their game. The<br />
<strong>3rd</strong>s had a come from behind win over Caversham<br />
2-3 down with minutes <strong>to</strong> go and the lads scored<br />
two late goals <strong>to</strong> finish the day 4-3 up. The 5As had<br />
a 3 nil win over Roslyn Chargers. http://www.footballsouth.co.nz/<br />
Relics lost 5 nil <strong>to</strong><br />
Hobbitts which was a creditable http://www.footballsouth.co.nz/<br />
result against the<br />
<strong>to</strong>p team.<br />
The Masters had a memorable day with their first win of the season 3-2 over<br />
Roslyn Moas. With eight players unavailable it was a real gutsy effort from the team <strong>to</strong> hold<br />
on for the win. A hat-trick <strong>to</strong> Vinnie saw us leading 3-1 at half-time. Tony, Simon, and Scott<br />
played very well in the mid-field and split Roslyn's defence many times with strong running<br />
and good passing. A very close second half saw Roslyn score again but they were denied a<br />
third thanks <strong>to</strong> tenacious defence by Northern. Our keeper Roly had an excellent game. His<br />
long goal kicks and crucial saves earned him the POD.<br />
To round off Saturday the club gathered for the "Battle of the Teams" a great<br />
night for all and very well organised by Sheena with a dedicated band of helpers and an<br />
expert judging panel. The events had all the teams cheering their team mates on, so a<br />
roudy night in the clubrooms.<br />
Thanks <strong>to</strong>o all who attended and <strong>to</strong> those that helped out. The night was rounded<br />
off with some stunning team songs - the best of which was the Masters. It ended up being a<br />
very tight race which saw the Prem Men carry on their winning ways for the day taking out<br />
the <strong>to</strong>p prize with the 4As<br />
coming in at second.<br />
