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 />

gm@footballsouth.co.nz<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 />

8-1, Bee got POD despite missing a pen.<br />

Brie and Tina got hatty’s, Solly got one did<br />

Romper as part of her farewell <strong>to</strong>ur.<br />

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

The girls were up 2-0 up at halftime, Cavvy<br />

came back and made it 2-1, but the girls<br />

win. Mich was superb in goals.<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 />

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 />

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 />

gm@footballsouth.co.nz<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 />

Northern AFC<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 />
