Home on The RangeEditorial comment — Josh Easby

Three key factors are turning this season's

ASB Premiership into one of the most

exciting for many years — at least if you're

a neutral.

As we enter 2015, and the second half of the competition, I'm sensing renewed interest in the league, and the main reasons are:

* It's no longer a predictable scrap with only two contenders capable of winning the title. After years of watching Auckland City and Waitakere United share the spoils, we're now seeing regular upsets and the emergence of credible challengers such as Team Wellington.

(And if we needed proof that anything's possible in this league, note the shock losses last weekend of leaders Team Wellington and champions Auckland City).

* Auckland City's dramatic displays at the FIFA Club World Cup in Morocco where the club fi nished third against some of the best club teams in the world.

Such was the interest in the competition, and Auckland City's progress, an estimated 113,000 people followed the live blog on the NZ Herald's website — the fi fth most read sports story of the year — as well as those who saw live television coverage.

It shows that football followers can be inspired by teams that play in our top domestic competition.

* The third factor has been the entry to the league of the Wellington Phoenix who are using the ASB Premiership as a stepping stone for players who have the potential to make their Hyundai A–League squad.

Cynics might scoff that "it's only the Phoenix reserves" but that doesn't do credit to the likes of players such as Waikato's Tyler

Boyd whose goals in the ASB Premiership helped him get the call–up to the fi rst team and continue with his goalscoring feats.

Auckland City and the Phoenix will both visit Cambridge in February to play our own WaiBOP United and this gives our players the chance to rise to the occasion.

This summer's competition has a long way to run and is proving that anything's possible. Come on, WaiBOP!

From the Dug OutA coach’s perspective — Peter Smith

Peter Smith is in his

second season as

Head Coach of

WaiBOP United.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to 2015.

This is an exciting time of the season and

an exciting time for the ASB Premiership.

Last weekend’s victory at Southern United was as welcome as it was deserved and a good way to blow out the Christmas cobwebs.

You’d have had to be living with the wolves to not be aware of Auckland City’s recent eff orts.

While that was superb by them, it also has spin-off s for the rest of us in this league.

The cash injection is very welcome, of course, but the international spotlight on the ASB Premiership could end up being

even bigger. We’ve already been contacted by countless more overseas players, coaches and agents, for instance.

Today we’re in Cambridge for the fi rst time this season. The Cambridge club put in a fantastic eff ort last season. They made their home our home, going the extra mile to turn John Kerkhof Park into an ASB Premiership venue.

It’s great to be back.

It's easy to forget Mark Jones is only 23.

The WaiBOP winger has been in and around Waikato national league teams since the 2009–10 season, as well as serving fi ve productive winter seasons at northern league level with Wanderers since moving north from Taupo as a teenager.

Indeed, there are few WaiBOP players who could point to having being part of national league squads selected by Che Bunce, Willie Gerdsen, Declan Edge, Mark Cossey and now Peter Smith.

So while appearances have been patchy over some of those seasons, technically this is Jones' fi fth summer of national league. Last season he was arguably WaiBOP's most consistent performer from week to week, and he has now established himself as a fi rst–choice selection.

Jones began this summer on the back of

a superb winter with Wanderers where he netted 15 goals as a winger, up from 10 in 2013, when he was also named Wanderers Player of the Year.

While that eye for goal has yet to be refl ected in the national league — the closest he has come this season was hitting the bar against the Phoenix at Eden Park — Jones is keen to rectify that.

"Each year I think I have improved, and I actually like the pressure of expectation," he said.

"And I accept that as a winger I have a responsibility for not only setting up goals, but for scoring as well."

Jones has sometimes had a fi ery side to his character, and given an often topical misconduct record, some followers may have found irony in the fact he is engaged to Sarah Walker, a highly ranked referee, now offi ciating as an assistant at national league level (though because of potential confl ict, never in WaiBOP matches).

But Jones reckons he's become a better player through this refereeing love connection, and has also quietly chalked up some whistling experience himself at indoor level.

"It has defi nitely helped. I don't get caught up in the arguing side of things so much now.

"Mind you, I've only had one red card in the last three years. And my cards have

Utd, has been following

never been for kicking people or dirty stuff — it tends to be because I am passionate and sometimes have too much energy for the team."

Less well know is that Jones was born in England (Cornwall) and came to New Zealand as a 12–year–old. By then he had already spent two years as a member of the Plymouth Argyle Youth Academy (and, naturally, became a Manchester United fan).

By the age of 14 he was turning out in senior football for Taupo.

And it is from that era that Jones cites Alan Lamb — originally a redoubtable 1990s Mt Maunganui import from the north east of England who later settled in Taupo — as being his biggest fotball infl uence.

"Alan Lamb was the best player I have

GOAL! WaiBOP United's Craig Wylie curls in a free kick to score his side's fi rst goal against Hawke's Bay United at Rotorua International Stadium. Photo: Grant Stantiall

played with," Jones said. There was a time after moving north from

Taupo that he thought about giving away football in favour of athletics — specifi cally the 800m, 400m, and triple jump — while on the sports front he is also keen on tennis and table tennis.

Away from football Jones has just completed a degree in sports science and is now undertaking a one–year teaching diploma,

He cites his most memorable football game to date as being part of Wanderers' drought–breaking 1–0 northern league derby win over Melville United in 2011.

But on the evidence of his continued evolution as a player at national league level, there will be plenty of bigger milestones ahead.

The Youngest One did not possess all of

the Eldest One’s gifts.

For starters, not really the right body shape. A bit short and rather rounded — not fat, mind. Just cuddly. Bloody good cuddler.

But not naturally athletic.She stalled a bit before she committed

to following in her older sibling’s footsteps. Where the fl eet–of–foot child has made the decision as a 5–year–old, the younger one had stalled.

And stalled…Shown an interest! A few kick–arounds

in the yard, tried on some little boots even. Kicked the Eldest One in the shins with them, even

And stalled…And then fi nally, The Youngest One

announced one late March afternoon, aged 7: “Okay, I think I am ready to join a football team this year. What position will I play?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” screamed the Eldest One, bouncing from couch to couch. “She’s gonna play football like me!”

“Cool,” said Football Dad, immediately concerned by the challenges of the family split in half on a Saturday morning. “To the shed.”

Outcome the always plentiful stash of old boots, socks and keeper’s gloves, some used barely half a season.

“Are these for goalkeepers?” asked the Youngest One, holding a tiny pair of hideous orange Lotto gloves. “They’re kinda bright,” she added, screwing up the cute little button nose.

“Special position, goalkeeping,” said Football Dad, a serious tone to his voice. “Loneliest job in the team. Takes a special

person to take that on.”“I might be keen,” said the Youngest One,

sounding interested. “And you get to wear a diff erent jersey too, eh? One you can choose yourself! Could I get pink?”

Football Dad “ummed” and “ahhhhhed” while formulating a diplomatic answer to give a 7–year–old girl on Day One of her football career.

“Pink’s probably not a colour I’d go for. You might want to consider a few options,” he said cheerily.

The Youngest One’s face lit up: “I’ll give my $3.70 in pocket money to you if you buy me a pink one to match these cute pink boots.”

A bat of the eyelashes.“We’ll see what the club’s got,” Football

Dad off ered “C’mon over here and give me a cuddle.”

“Guess that’s kick-off ,” he thought to himself, a happy little girl’s arms wrapped around him.

Today’s VisitorsCanterbury push for spot in top four

Canterbury United’s hopes of making

this season’s play–off s depend heavily

on experience at the back and youthful

talent up front.

Their defence is built around the Schwartz twins, Tom and Dan, and teammates from top Christchurch club Cashmere Technical including Dan Terris and Julyan Collett.

Another Technical player, All White Aaron Clapham, is United’s midfi eld leader, having been the side’s top goalscorer last season with eight goals. He missed the start of this season with a shoulder injury but returned to the side at just the right time, scoring last weekend against Hawkes Bay United.

Clapham has 10 international appearances and was a member of the All Whites squad unbeaten at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

While the defence has built around local heroes, up front the side has taken some risks in signing speedy but unproven youngsters.

The best example is Miles John (19) who competed in the Welsh national league with Port Talbot before heading to New Zealand last year to play his winter football for Napier City Rovers. He’s a former Welsh U16, U17 and U18 international.

When the Dragons named their squad at the start of the season, nine of the players were under 21.

''It's a young team. We've got plenty of speed and I think that's been lacking the last few years,'' captain Tom Schwarz said.

''Hopefully, we've got something a bit diff erent. We're not as safe going forward. We haven't scored enough goals, so hopefully, we'll score a few more.''

COACH — Sean DevineDevine is a former Ireland B international

who was a proven goalscorer for English clubs Barnet, Wycombe Wanderers and Exeter City before joining the New Zealand Knights in 2005. After spells coaching Auckland clubs Metro and Manurewa, he moved to Christchurch where he has coach a development team at local champions Cashmere Technical.

Last summer, he was assistant to Canterbury United head coach Keith Braithwaite and when he stepped down last year, Devine (41) was promoted.

PLAYER TO WATCH — Stu KellyMidfi elder Stu Kelly is another member of

the Cashmere Technical side that completed back-to-back ASB Chatham Cup wins.

The 33-year-old Scot began his career in with Rangers in Glasgow in 1997. Since leaving Scotland, Kelly has played football as far afi eld as Finland, Thailand, the Cook Islands and Australia. He has made more than 100 appearances at national league level with spells in the ASB Premiership with Auckland City FC and Otago United.

Coach Devine was delighted to re-sign him to the Dragons. “Stu is committing to a full season and will bring a lot of experience to this young squad. The midfi eld in particular has a lack of experience so to be able to sign Stu again is a great option for the team”.


WaiBOP United is pleased to announce

that Macular Degeneration New Zealand

(MDNZ) is the charity the franchise

will support during the 2014/15 ASB

Premiership season.

Macular Degeneration causes progressive loss of central vision but the peripheral vision is not aff ected. It is the leading cause of severe vision loss. One in seven people over the age of 50 years is aff ected in some way and the incidence increases with age.

The macula is the central part of the retina, the l i g h t – s e n s i t i v e tissue at the back of the eye. The retina processes all visual images. It is responsible for your ability to read, recognise faces, drive and see colours clearly.

WaiBOP United will promote awareness of Macular Degeneration within the football community. “We hope that off the back of whatever profi le our club is able to build we can help raise awareness of what Macular Degeneration is and how people can get tested,” says Dwayne Barlow, WaiBOP United’s Communications Manager.

“This is something that has the potential to cause functional blindness and yet is easily treated if detected early enough.”

Macular Degeneration is thought to be caused by genetic and environmental

Our Chosen CharityWaiBOP United backs Macular Degeneration New Zealand

factors. People over the age of 50 years are at risk. If you smoke or have a family history of Macular Degeneration, your risk

of developing the disease is much greater.

Amsler GridThe Amsler grid

is a useful tool to detect vision problems resulting from damage to the macula (the central part of the retina).

How to do it:1. Cover one eye,

then focus on the dot in the centre.

2. Do any of the lines look wavy, blurred or distorted?

3. Are there any missing areas or dark areas in the grid?

4. Don't forget to test both eyes.5. If you see wavy, broken or distorted

lines, or blurred or missing areas of vision, you may be displaying the symptoms of Macular Degeneration.

Contact your doctor or optometrist immediately.

WaiBOP's Under 15 girls are the leaders

in their age group after going unbeaten

through the national championship

tournament in Wellington.

The girls started the tournament with a 2–1 win against Mainland Pride with Michaela Foster scoring both goals.

On the second day of play, WaiBOP drew 1–1 with Auckland. Tyler Davidson put WaiBOP ahead in the fi rst half but Auckland levelled with only fi ve minutes to go.

Day three saw two wins to WaiBOP. In the morning game, goals from Danaya McKenzie (2) and Georgia Nixon helped WaiBOP to a 3–1 victory against Capital Football.

McKenzie and Foster scored their side's goals in the afternoon, giving WaiBOP a 2–0 win against Central Football.

This left WaiBOP top of the table and knowing two wins on the fi nal day would deliver the national title. In the morning, WaiBOP romped to a 4–0 win against

From the Centre CircleWhat’s happening in the Waikato/Bay of Plenty

Northern, and the team knew a win by any margin against Football South would do the job. They won 3–0 to clinch the title.

Midfi elder Sarah Krystman, who has played for WaiBOP in the past two seasons of ASB Women's League, was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player.

Meanwhile, WaiBOP's Under 15 and Under 16 boys' teams fi nished their tournaments, also in Wellington, in fourth and fi fth places respectively.

The U15s were slow to settle into the tournament but recorded their fi rst wins on day 3, beating Capital and Central, and then beating Football South on the fi nal day.

The U16s won games against Central and Football South.


Special welcomeWaiBOP United extends a special welcome

today to guests representing clubs from

the Waikato and Bay of Plenty.

These nominees are at today's game, and at the pre–match and post–match functions as special guests — our "heroes for a day".

We hope they enjoy today's match and return to their clubs refreshed with their batteries recharged for another winter season!

Without them, our game would be much the poorer, and we thank them.

Two WaiBOP United youth players are in

Samoa as members of the New Zealand

side trying to qualify for the FIFA U–17

World Cup in Chile.

Striker Connor Probert and defender Liam Williams won selection after performing well for WaiBOP United in this summer's ASB Youth League.

New Zealand played their opening games against Fiji and co–hosts Samoa this week (after this magazine went to print), and face Papua New Guinea this weekend in the tournament which will determine who represents Oceania in Chile.

Probert, son of United youth team assistant coach Paul Probert, and Williams are joined in the squad by fi ve more players who hail from the Waikato/Bay of Plenty.

These are defender Luke Johnson, and forwards Logan Rogerson and Jamie Woodlock, all of whom play their winter football for Hamilton Wanderers.

A large number of the New Zealand squad played for the Wanderers SC side

competing in the ASB Youth League and coach Jose Figueira says that preparation was an ideal lead–in for the qualifying event.

“Being able to play 11 games; and competitive games that they were, has really given us a great stepping stone to prepare the squad and ID the ones who I feel are ready to take on the task in Samoa.”

Almost all of the squad have been part of the National Talent Centre programme and Figueira says that development structure has had big benefi ts for the players around the country as well as the coaching staff .

WaiBOP United lifted themselves off the

bottom of the ASB Premiership last Sunday

with a 1–0 win over Southern United at

the Caledonian Ground in Dunedin.

A 35th minute free kick thunderbolt from WaiBOP United defender Sam O’Regan decided the outcome as the visitors jumped over Southern United on goal diff erence with both sides on seven points.

Meanwhile, this weekend's opponents, Canterbury United, shared the spoils of their game against Hawke's Bay United with penalties accounting for both goals in their 1–1 draw at ASB Football Park.

After a scoreless opening 45 minutes in the battle between the competition's third and fourth–placed sides, the visitors took a 47th minute lead via Ryan Tinsley’s penalty following a foul on Viktor Lekaj by Stu Kelly.

But the home side responded and levelled the match eight minutes later as Aaron Clapham tucked home from the spot after a handball decision from referee Campbell–Kirk Waugh.

The upset of the round was Auckland City's capitulation at home to Wellington Phoenix who came away from Kiwitea St with a 3–1 victory.

Nathaniel Hailemariam scored twice and All Whites striker Joel Stevens once to give the visitors a 3–0 lead after 30 minutes.

Auckland City’s Fabrizio Tavano pulled a goal back for the home side in fi rst half stoppage time but the major talking point of the second half was the dismissal of Auckland's Mario Bilen and opponent Thomas Doyle for their respective parts in a scuffl e in the dying stages.

City were playing their fi rst ASB Premiership match since December’s super run at the FIFA Club World Cup in Morocco in front of a large home crowd, but Ramon Tribulietx’s side found themselves facing a Phoenix side on fi re from the kick–off .

League leaders Team Wellington also lost at home, beaten 2–1 by Waitakere United who scored through Jake Butler and Dylan Manickum. Wellington scorer Bill Robertson was red carded late in the game while team mate James Musa was also sent off for two yellow cards.
