EditorialWith the state titles behind them,

t h e C e n t r a l Coast j u n i o rrepresentat ive teams can nowconcentrate wholely and solely on theSydney inter'district competitions.

But spectators on the Central Coastare still dwelling over the fact that oursenior representative side took out theState titles for the fourth year insuccession. This is a magnificent featwhen you consider the shortpreparation period they had.

But this tr iumph has to take secondplace to the promising Ian Vaughan,who along with another boy fromEmu Plains has been selected toat tend the Pele I n t e r n a t i o n a lCoaching Clinic where he will becoached by the great Pele himself. Not

only is this a major t r iumph for Ianbut it is also a boost to soccer on theCentral Coast. On behalf of all thepeople associated with "Soccer Post" Iwould like to congratulate Ian on afine achievement.

Unfortunately the "Soccer Post" isstill lacking from lack of clubinformation and advertisements. Theoriginal intention of this magazinewas to bind a closer relationshipbe tween the C .C .S .A . andparticipating clubs and to let each clubknow what is going on in the otherclubs over the Central Coast.

But as you can see, there is very fewclubs who are patronising thismagazine. So come on, let's give acombined effort, or this magazinecannot continue.

Take a bowD u r i n g the recent State

Championships held at Coffs Harbourfor the Under 16 teams, I had theopportunity to speak with severalcoaches and managers of teams fromNewcastle, Richmon, Tweed, NewEngland and others and they wereamazed to find out that the CentralCoast teams in all grades weresponsored, track suit and all, andcould afford to send such teams bybus. Even the eventual winners,Newcastle, had to make their way upby car and there was no sponsorshipfrom anyone, so let's ask Bill Northamand his hard working committee tostand up and take a bow.

KANWAL ROVERS SOCCER CLUBWell it is time for the monthly

report on the Rovers.Our all age team are doing very

well, to be running equal fourth. Howabout all players turning up fortraining. The under 19's are coming3rd in the comp and meet BudgewoiReserve grade in the Norman RossCup on July 14th.

Under 16 are trying very hard.They had a win a fortnight ago.

Under 13 won their first game forthe season and won it 4'nil.

Under 11 have won 3, lost 2, andhad 1 draw.

Under 9 are playing much better in

tne "A" grade comp.Under 8 are running third. Keep up

the good work.Under 7b are going great and are

still in 2nd position.Under 7c are improving but need

more match practise.Under 6 are still leading the comp.

Well done boys.Kanwal Rovers would like to thank

Mr. Mike Ferris for his support andhelp with the raffles. Mr Ferris is thesponsor of the all age side. Also ourthanks to the ladies for their help withthe canteen on Saturdays.

WYOMING JUNIOR SOCCERAt the end of the first round many

of our teams look as though they willget into semi'final position. All butone of the "A" teams finished in thefirst 4, so the next round should proveinteresting.

The 7A, 9A and 14A have allfinished first on the competition tableand are hoping to keep their positions.With so many of fhe first round teamsimproving all the time perhaps theirjob will be getting harder each week.However, it does make it aninteresting competition and only time

will tell the results. Our 7Bs are still onthe top of the "B" competition tableand as more of our others get used toplaying as a team they might get a fewwins and improve their positions too.It is good to see our 8Cs are in fourthplace at this stage, as many of theseboys have not played soccer before.Our club is holding their annual under7 knockout on Sunday, August 12 andAlan Davidson Oval and we hope thatmany local clubs will support it. Fullcanteen facilities will be available.

To be or not to beOver recent years during coaching

courses I have often been asked thequestion, should girls participate inthe game of soccer. People say it's amans game and should be played bymen only. Now let's have a closer lookat that statement. Girls play all sortsof physical sports hockey, ice hockey,basketball, etc. etc., so why shouldn'tthey play soccer which in itself is avery skillful game and if any of youhave seen girls and women playorganised soccer overseas, you must

agree with me that some of thoseteams would put our men to shameskillwise.

So let's face it, girls soccer is here tostay. Let us make them moreproficient at it by running basic skillcourses, referee's courses etc. I dothink that the women should supplytheir own referees as the CentralCoast Referees Association have theirhands full already so how about itgirls, get yourselves organised with thereferees and the coaches organisationand become even better players.

DID YOU KNOW WYOMING SENIOR SOCCERInterest in International soccer

began in 1872 when the first matchbetween any two countries wasplayed. This was Scotland v Englandin Glasgow. Fifty-eight years later in1930 Uruguay staged the first WorldCup tournament in which thirteencountries took part, only three beingfrom Europe, presumably because inthose days a two or three week seavoyage was involved. The idea of theWorld Cup was conceived in Francein 1919 by Jules Rimet and the trophyfor the World Cup was known as theJules Rimet Trophy. The thirteencountries dragged thousands ofspectators to watch their games asthey played for that big one, the final.There was four groups: Group 1-Argentina, Chile, France, Mexico;Group 2 - Yugoslavia, Brazil, Bolivia;Group 3 - Uruguay, Romania, Peru;Group 4 - United States of America,Paraguay, Belgium. Out of thesegroups came the semi-final spots withArgentina playing United States ofAmerica and U r u g u a y playedYugoslavia.

Argentina 6 defeated United States1, whi le U r u g u a y 6 defeatedYugoslavia 1. From these two bigwins it was assured that the final wasgoing to be a cracker and 90,000spectators packed a half finishedstadium and at half time Argentinalead 2-1 but the first World Cup wasto be Uruguay's, as they ran outwinners 4-2 after they scored threequick goals in the second half. Duringthe whole tournament a total of 107goals were scored with 66 goals forand 41 against, a spectators dream inthose early days of soccer.

A brilliant start to a sporting eventthat was to become the biggest singlesporting event in the World to beplayed for. Next issue - the 1934World Cup.

Roger Smith

Our Club has not had the best ofluck over the past month. The Seniorteams are experiencing a period ofform lapse and together with a seriesof injuries are causing some veryanxious moments amongst oursupporters. During mid July our 1stgrade was required to play 4 games insix days one Norman Ross Cup game,one Amateur Cup game, onepremiership game and finally oneWyong Cup game. This in itself was atelling toll on our injuries but the sidecame through with three wins and oneloss.

Our premiership hopes have nothad a great injection boost lately andboth 1st grade and 2nd grade havedropped valuable points, with mostclubs pe r fo rming wel l in thecompetition to date every point gainedwill be needed to remain in thesemi'final race.

You never know, our sponsor"GOSFORD SCRAP METAL" mayeven want to sell us to the highestbidder at the end of the season if formdoes not improve.

The experience in this club willundoubtedly jump into top gear forthe run home to the semis, players likeJoe Dalforno, Kevin Best, Mel White,Col Sinclair and Dave Cronk in 1stgrade and Charlie Smith, DennisMcCann, John Waghorn and BobO'Toole in 2nd grade will not stand byand watch the might of Wyomingbecome an "also ran".

The club's 2nd division is stillholding their place in the grade andwill be hard to beat in the semis. Theirform lately has been inconsistent butwith patient application should pickup their game. Players who haveplayed up to form recently are BillWilson, Alan Snelson, FortuneVerduci, Colin Arnott and TrevorRoss. With the club at its lowest ebbfor some time we can only hope forbigger and better things.

Unfortunately we are not getting avery good response from clubs withregard to advertisements for the 'Post'.All we ask is that clubs try to get atleast two firms or business houses eachmonth who are interested in advertisingwith us and give their names and ad-dresses to either Margaret McLean orDale Eggleton who will, in turn, contactthem. As you know we are trying to dosomething for all clubs and thereforewould like their support in this regard.

GOALKEEPINGGoalkeeping is an ar t s the goalkeeper is the last line of defence. If he lets an easy

goal in, his team loses confidence in him. Besides it is he who has to pick the ball outof the net. The goalkeeper has to be in the best condition. Anticipation and agilityare the main essentials of his craft, besides a good pair of hands. He has to be able toperform the art of kicking, catching correctly low and high balls from all angles andheights; pushing and punching high balls. The art of positioning is also essential.

When catching a ball, the fingers should be loose and stretched. The arms shoulddrop down automatically when ball makes contact with hands. This will stop theforce of ball, especially high balls. When the ball is lower, the body must be behindthe ball. The goalkeeper must be able to catch balls coming from all angles andheights, whilst standing, jumping or falling.

Points to be aimed at:Elasticity of body.Springing and jumping ability.Speed of reflexes.To anticipate and make quick decisions.Ability to hold ball, kicking and throwing.Be safe and sure, not a showman.

TRIP OF A WYONG SOCCER CLUB

LIFETIMEYoung Ian Vaughan from The

Entrance has won the tr ip andexperience of a lifetime.

He has won a week's training withthe great Pele, at Pele's InternationalCoaching Clinic in New York.

Ian entered th i s compet i t ionthrough the Johnny Warren ' DailyTelegraph competition. He had toanswer three questions and write abrief history about his career as asoccer player and what he hasachieved in soccer.

From this, twenty' two boys wereselected which included Ian andanother boy from the Central Coast,Warren Haslem.

They went to Sydney where theyhad to display their soccer skills infront of three of Australias topcoaches. These judges had the dif f icul ttask of selecting two boys from thisfine array of soccer talent.

But they f inal ly decided on Ian andBen Divani from Emu Plains. The twoboys along with John Warren willspend a week at Pele's InternationalCoaching Clinic and a week sightseeing which includes Disneyland andHollywood.

Ian started his soccer career withThe Entrance club in the under 7's.He'spent six years wi th The Entranceclub before transferring to Toukley fora season then he returned back to TheEntrance.

Ian has been a regular member ofthe Central Coast representative sidessince he was eight.

He has also gained selection in theN.N.S.W. State sides twice in theunder I2's and under 13's.

Also he was selected in theN.S.W.P.S.S.A. schoolboy soccer sidein 1977.

So with this background behind himand with a sparkling fu ture await inghim Ian Vaughan is a player of thefuture on the Central Coast.

"C'mon Wyong c'mon" is thedeafening chant heard from the BakerPark g rands tand most Sundayafternoons.

And the Wyong supporters hadplenty to cheer about last weekend asthey watched their first grade sideanhialate Killarney lO'O and as aresult take the lead in the competition.

Wyong did it easy by blendingindividual skill with classical teamplay and in all facets of play were justtoo good for their Killarney rivals.

Avoca'Davistown showed that allthe rave revues that had been billed onthem at the start of the season wereworthy when they proved too goodfor t h e i r younge r Budgewoicounterparts in winning 14'0.

Avoca'Davistown showed that theyare completely out of their recentslump in form and are now ready toprove that they too will be a threat tothis competition.

Toukley bounced back after lastweek's set back to the hands ofSouthern United when they ran allover their disappointing Union rivalsto record a resounding 8'0 victory.

In the 2GO Match of the Day atAlan Davidson Oval, Wyoming putan end to Southern United's unbeatenrun when they convincingly defeatedthem 3 ' I .

Wyoming, who have taken a whileto settle down after all the newinclusions in their first grade sideplayed like a team that had beenplaying together for years.

They, unl ike Southern United,exploited all of their chances to theful l and showed that with constantpressure Southern United can bebeaten.

Mel White, Wyoming's striker,received the Man of the Match award.

In other matches East Gosforddefeated Woy Woy 4'1 while Ettalongand Gosford played a 2'2 draw.

REPRESENTATIVE SOCCERIn last month's edition of Soccer

Post I said that 1 would give a reporton the State titles.

Well this year was the first year forfive years that it did not rain for theJune long weekend on the CentralCoast. The weather proved to be justright for soccer.

The under 11's went to Newcastle.They played some good soccer, but insome games they did not get thebounce of the ball. They finished insixth place.

The under 12's played on theCentral Coast. This year was the boysfirst time for selection in theN.N.S.W. State side. Four of theseboys were selected they were, GrantSmith, Anthony Gough, Allen Kentand Steven McCrohon. Good luckboys in the National titles. The under12's played some good soccer over theweekend and only lost one of theirseven games. They finished equalsecond on points but third on goaldifferences.

The under 13's went to Belmont.The boys seemed to have the luckagainst them for the first three gamesbut came good , after these earlysetbacks. They showed all thespectators watching these games thatthe Central Coast can play some finesoccer. Congratulations goes toStephen Barnett who was selected inthe under 13's N.N.S.W. State side.The thirteens finished in fifth place.

The unde r 14's w e n t toMurwillumbah which is just this sideof the Queensland border. They had abad start when one of their starplayers, Ian Vaughan, was injured inthe first game. But despite this theboys had a good weekend and playedsome good soccer. They finished insixth place.

The under 15's went to Taree. Thisteam performed exceptionally welland were considered unlucky not tohave finished higher than thirdposition. Three of these boys wereselected in the under 15's N.N.S.W.

State side, they were Warren Haslem,Graham Sales and Darryl Slatyer.

The under 16's went to CoffsHarbour. On the way up there theboys made a name for the CentralCoast by helping some people whohad run off the road' with theircaravan. They pushed it back up ontothe road ' who says that the CentralCoast boys are not gentlemen.

They played some very good soccerover the weekend and finished in thirdposition.

These boys, like all the other juniorteams who travelled away, were welllooked after.

The under 18's went to Swansea.This team was only put together abouta fortnight before the State titles andfinished in third position. Onewonders whar great feats this teammay have achieved if they had hadmore time together.

Our seniors played on the CentralCoast and what can we say. They wonthe State titles for the fourth year in arow. Well done boys, I think you aregiving our juniors something to lookup to for the future.

State Championships take a lot ofwork so on behalf of the Association Iwould like to thank John Fairwether,Ross and Margaret McLean, PeterHunt, Colleen Butler, Brian andMargaret Ford, Eileen Patterson andall the parents from the under 12'swho helped to make the State titles asuccessful weekend. If I missedanybody I would like to thank themtoo.

To our coaches and managers,thank you very much for your timeand effort. To our boys, thank you forbeing such good ambassadors for theCentral Coast.

S p e a k i n g a b o u t boys , f u l lcongratulations must go to our under14 r ep re sen t a t i ve p l aye r , IanVaughan. Ian has been selected fromall the boys in N.S.W. along with aboy from Emu Plains to go to U.S.A.for a fortnight to attend the Pele11

EAST GOSFORD SOCCER CLUBAs this is the first time that the East

Gosford Soccer Club has put in areport to the Soccer Post, we wouldlike to thank the publishers and Editorfor the opportunity.

Because this article is being writtenafter an exhilarat ing First Divisiongame, the writer would like to report a2'1 win by East Gosford's FristDivision team. These boys, well mostof them are, (sorry Judge), were prettywell down the ladder in about fifthposition although only having lost onecompetition game this season, but bytheir well deserved defeat of theleaders, Southern United, they arenow in a strong fourth position. Thewin has given them renewed spirit anddetermination.

Move over Southern United.The First Division team, by a great

deal of luck and of course a fair bit ofgood play, managed to win the SecondDivision Grand Finals in 1978, afteran exciting replay under lights atBaker Park, Wyong, and then wentinto First Division with not muchconfidence but a great deal of hopeand determination. The team this yearis managed by Harold Titherington,who can be seen on-any day the boysplay sporting a purple jumper andplenty of enthusiasm. Coach isGeorgie Soutar, another new "boy" tothe Club, but well liked and respectedby the boys. Photo of the victorselsewhere in this issue.

Our Reserves had a well foughtgame with United Reserves, butalthough United ended up the winnerson the day, the final score definitelydid not to justice to the play. Eastsnever gave up trying unt i l the finalwhistle blew, thus is the spirit of EastGosford.

BUDGEWOI SOCCER CLUBUnfortunately I slipped up and

missed the last edition of the SoccerPost but it was great to see other clubsstill contributing to make this a suc-cess and I know that the interst isthere by the reaction of players fromour club in asking for the magazineplus them being d isappointedBudgewoi did not have an article insame.

We wish to express out gratitude tothe fourteen boys who have justrepresented in the NNSW State cham-pionships who were as follows:

U/l 1 Clint Jones and Adam Daly.U/13 Steven Barnett, Craig Barry,

David Cokelt, Tyle Foster and AdamJones.

U/ l4 Bradley Rixon.U/ l5 Darryl Slayter.U/ l6 Lou Calzolari, David Kerr,

Greg Kent, Shane Norris and StephenSmith.

Special mention to Steven Barnettand Darryl Slayter who both made theState Sides for the Aust. Titles — Welldone boys.

To top it off as well as these boysBudgewoi ladies have had added tothe State side Sue Moffit, DebbieSaunders and Sharon Gurhot to joinReneye Iserief and Lisa Cobett, givingus now five in that squad.

It has to be appreciated a lot ofwork goes to putting these players onthe field each week and I have tomake mention to an incident at one ofour games the past week where in myopinion it made it all worthwhile.

Our U/ l2s through the coach andmanage being tradesmen and havingwork committments were unable tomake the game and two youngfellows, namely Murray Mackay andFrank Muller decided that they wouldendeavoure to organise the team. Oneof them saw the ref, organised thecard and the other took the fees andorganised the ref. the team only hadeseven boys so they took it uponthemselves to borrow players fromU/l0(2) and U/ l 1(4). The result - a

1-all draw was a credit to them. Withboys aroung like these soccer can onlybenefit. Further to this if any of theteams are short of boys in the later agegroups they are the first to come for-ward.

Budgewoi in the boys has 8 teams inthe running for title at the halfwaymark. And it is great to see a terrificbunch of triers and sportsmen in thesenior starting to pick up some of thetwo pointers.

Doyalson R.S.L.Soccer Club

Last time we supplied some generalinformation regarding the Soccer Cluband in this issue we will give thereaders information regarding our per-formances so far in the 2nd Division.

Up to this time of writing, DoyalsonR.S.L. has played 12 games, won 6,drawn 2 and lost 4 which gives us atotal of 14 points. We have scored 30goals and have 10 goals scoredagainst. Currently we are running infourth spot in the table only twopoints off second place and have agame in hand on the team running se-cond. In our last 4 games we have real-ly started to fire winning 5 ' I , 5'0, 5'2and 3'0 respectively. Our 5'2 win wasagainst Kur r i 'Kur r i who at that timewere running 2nd in the table andwho beat us I ' O in the first round ofthe competition. This result was madeeven more remarkable by the fact thatwe were down 2'0 after 20 minutes.

Presently our top scorers are DannyWilkinson with 7 goals, WayneBrough with 5 goals and Chris War-wick wi th 4 goals. The competitionreally is close because only 8 pointsseparate the 2nd and 9th teams.

By the time this article is publishedwe wi l l have played Jesmond (home),Belmont (home and away) andMaitland (away! which takes us up tothe first weekend in August. If wecontinue our present run of resultsthen we must have a chance off in ishing in the top four but as westated earlier it is a very close competi-tion, so each game is a hard one.

visi t ing teams and the conduct of ourunder twelves and all age teams. Thish i g h l i g h t s the s t rength of ourmembers and the men behind thescenes icluding the inspectors andappointments panel.-A well done tothose who officiated.

I would like to reciprocate Bill'sthanks and add that your localfootball association conduct andpresentat ion would leave otherassociations for dead. But there is agreat deal to be done by the clubs inthe presentation of the local games.This leads me to an explanation ofthose sinister types in (trench coatsand trilbys) with writing pads and clipboards "The Referees Inspectors".Referees like everyone else, can get offthe rails and develop bad techniquesso they need not "ginger up"occasionally this does happen everyweek in fact you don't know they arethere unt i l you come off the field.Their marking and grading are theguidelines for the allocations panelappointing referees. Usually morethan one report by different inspectorson different games are used tode te rmine a mark . This is acontinuous process of improvementand education.

John Cunningham has literature,audio visual aids and numerous booksand charts, also text books and isprepared to train now ten young meninterested in becoming a referee fornext season. John can be phoned on242158 or Kevin King on 326866.

INSTEP KICKINGThe instep kick is the most indispensable kick. It can be the most forceful for long

or short distances; it is one of the most important kicks for shooting at goal. Toomuch attention cannot be applied on the correct position of the instep whencontacting the ball. The ball must be hit by the upper middle part of the foot - thebig bone behind the toes. The pressing of the foot well down is most important.The trouble with most beginners is that they are afraid they will kick the ground bythe pressing-down motion.

NEWCASTLE K.B. UNITED

\y called it Cinderella City, the

poor relation of the Phillips SoccerLeague in search of a prince charming.

For years the city had dreamed ofbeing respected; of finding a civicpride, an identity that would wipe thesnigger of contempt from the faces ofher bigger, uglier sisters.

Now had come the testing time, themoment they had all been waiting for.

It was March 5, 1978 and 1 1 foot-ballers wearing the ebony and gold ofNewcastle K.B. United were poised totake the field at the city's Interna-tional Sporting Stadium for the firsttime.

A whole town held its breath innerve'tingling anticipation.

Months of intensive planning andgruelling hard work had gone into thestructuring not only of the team but ofthe entire club.

The formation of a resourcefulboard of directors had resulted,somewhat m i r a c u l o u s l y for anewcomer, in a massive sponsorshipfrom Tooths Brewery.

Some of the city's most successfuland astute businessmen had beencoaxed into lending their names to theclub and setting up" a special commit-tee chock ful l of expertise in productmarketing and promotion.

The schools were canvassed, teamsof marching girls kitted out in stylishuniforms and trained in the intricaciesof baton twirl ing.

Songs were wri t ten, slogans printed,cheer leaders recruited, bands formed,and radio and T.V. stations bombard-ed and bowled over wi th the fever of itall.

Cinderalla city went to the ball instyle. She found not only one prince,but 20,000 all eager for her favours.

Now , a year later, her bigger sisterslook on with envious eyes as she iscourted by the biggest, most devotedband of supporters of any club in theland.

Her secret is a marriage betweensport and civic dignity, her family, the

people of Newcastle.In just 14 months, soccer has

become a way of life for them.Sixty per cent of the thousands who

flock to the home games come asfamilies.

They are met with a razamatazz,and a holiday jazz that wipes away thecares of the week in a flourish ofmusic and laughter.

When visiting supporters come toNewcastle they see it in a new light.They see a Newcastle they neverdreamed existed. A happy andbeautiful place. And they come backagain.

It is pride that has carried the teaminto the upper reaches of the P.S.L.and taken them to the semi'finals ofthe Phillips Cup in only their secondseason.

The players walk tal l in theknowledge that they bear the hopesand aspirations of a city and it's peopleon to the field and, raw or inexperienc-ed though some of them may be, theyhave beaten many much more ski lfuland experienced teams.

In their first season of the Phil l ipsLeague:'

They attracted the biggest P.S.L.support.

Ken Boden was the P.S.L. topscorer.

Ken Boden, Newcastle's striker,was voted the P.S.L. Player of theYear.

They beat an Australian X I .They reached the Phillips Cup

semi'finals.

Referees Fees,Match and t ran ing balls for all teamsshirts equipment etc. It is usually a lotof hard work for a few people whogive their t ime to coach and manageteams, mark fields and put up nets etc.each week, a t tend meetings, run can-teens etc. and general other fund rais-ing ac t iv i t i e s to keep the club goingand to try to give the players a goodpresentation at the end of the season.

The last funct ion arranged receivedvery poor support. Please if you havean hour or so to spare, how about giv-ing the dedicated few a break occa-sional ly.

N.S. W. winAustralian soccer took a step closer

to f u l f i l l i n g a World Cup spot in Spainin 1982 by thrashing English firstdivision side, Norwich City 4'1 at theSydney Sports Ground last weekend.

W h a t makes the win moreconvincing is the fact that New SouthWales, a team of bits and pieces whichh a d n e v e r p l a y e d t o g e t h e r ,slaughtered an English first divisionteam of f u l l ' t i m e professionals.

Even though all the N.S.W. playersperformed highly most of the creditfor the .win must go to NationalC'oach, Rudi Gutendorf, who was incharge of the State team.

HINTS FOR SOCCER PLAYERSBy John McBride

GoalkeeperKeep eyes on ball throughout whole match. Don't stand still - keep moving to be

warm, loose and on your toes. Get your body behind the ball as often as possible. Besafe and sure and not a showman.

FullbacksShould be fast and two'footed. Don't let the winger pass you on the inside. Judge

the time to tackle. Don't rush in, but watch your chance, then move in quick - coveryour centre'half.

Centre-HalfMust have two good feet and be strong in the air - be able to effect long

clearances with accuracy. Don't be drawn out of middle too easily.

Wing-HalfRemember, you are a defender-Never be caught in front of, or among, your for-

wards. Control should be good as must your passing. When you have made a goodpass forward, move up behind your forwards at a reasonable distance to assist if

necessary.

WingersWhen your defence is pressed, come back into your own half of the field. Run

with the ball only as fast as you can control the ball perfectly. Cut into goal withball when possible instead of running to corner flag. Move in to crosses from op-

posite wing.

Inside ForwardsMust be prepared to work hard like the wing halves. Control and passing must be

good. Don't be selfish, but distribute the ball changing play as often as possible. Beprepared for a quick run through to shoot.

Centre ForwardShould be good with head and a strong shot with either foot - fast and willing to

move to each wing as well as up and down middle. Don't be robbed of the ball in thepenalty'area, get your shot in quickly. Remember, it is better to shoot and miss thannot to shoot at all-

Ten Ways To Kill1. Don't attend meetings.2. If you do attend make sure you

are late.3. When you arrive, sit at the back

and talk to the bloke next to youabout cricket and rugby.

4. Never accept a position, it's mucheasier to criticise than to dosomething.

5. If asked by the Chairman foryour opinion on something, just tellhim you have nothing to say and thenafter the meeting, when you arehaving a drink, tell everyone howthings should have been doen.

6. Hold back your fees as long aspossible so as to give the secretary or

An Associationtreasurer some extra work.

7. Start a whispering campaignabout the finances.

8. Never subscribe to your Soccerpaper, let the Editor run all over theplace to find copy for his next issue.

9. Don't bother about getting newpeople interested in the game, letsomeone else who has plenty of timedo it.

10. Do nothing more than isabsolutely necessary but when othermembers roll up their sleeves and dothe lot, howl like mad about how theassociation is being run by a clique.

Coaches and Managers Report Under 15 NNSW State TitlesTo enter into a tournament of this

magnitude is an honour in itself.CCSA has always commanded respectwith its representative sides and thisteam was no exception, the red andblue shirts of the Coast were always aconstant hurdle for the oppositionalthough we finished third. The effortmade by the team as a whole leftnothing to be desired but there wereindividual performances by severalplayers who excelled themselves andhave made State selection. Parentalsupport was at a premium especially atthis age group and I feel they shouldbe applauded for their efforts inkeeping the boys' spirits high. From a 23

Coaches and Managers point of view,to participate is the honour, but to dowell is the credit for the boysthemselves and the Association theyrepresent. One comment I must make,and this was echoed by many anofficial, participator and spectatorinvolved in this tournament, was thatthe appearance, the conduct and thedress of the (Coasts) team gave themthe stamp of professionalism thatmany teams so dearly strive for and onthis note many thanks must go to DonBradley and Central Coast BitumenSeals for their support.
