6 | Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report President’s Report

Members and friends, I am starting this report by advising you that I will be retiring as President at the 2015 Annual General Meeting after some 15 years in the role.

During that time there is much we all can be proud of and we have had a wonderful record of success. However, like all institutions we need a fresh injection of blood from time to time. New blood brings innovation, new ideas, new energy and a commitment to ensuring that our club’s success continues.

My colleague and head of SURPASS, Angus Stuart, has indicated he is prepared to take on the role and I wholeheartedly endorse his candidature. Angus is a former player and has shown remarkable dedication in SUFC President David Mortimer AO speaks at 2015 Season Launch steering, with his former playing colleague SURPASS to an effective support to the Friends group that has the race in the semi-finals, we still won been so big a contributor over the years. four of the seven titles on offer in the Sydney premier Traditionally, my annual reports have always led off Grade competition, the overall Club Championship with how our club has performed in the Sydney for the 12th consecutive season and the Colts Club Grade competition, but this year I’d like to venture Championship for the 11th year in a row. from the Varsity to Twickenham.

Looking at the bigger picture, winning four titles is and SUFC as they come through our ranks. The club outstanding. I think 2015 has been an exceptional year. is providing a wonderful pathway for our players. We should be proud and happy.”

Which brings me back to the Shute Shield competition. I certainly was after the grand final weekend in We can look back on 2015 as yet another successful August when all of our teams made it through to the season on and off the ground.

The Awards night also honoured Christian Yassmin, the leading tryscorer across all teams, with 25 for the season, and Christian Kagiassis, the club’s leading pointscorer with 260. Well done the Christians!

I also extend my congratulations to our talented pool of coaches for getting all teams to the finals.

Sadly, we have had to bid farewell to First Grade coach Chris Malone, who has taken up a role with the NSW Waratahs. He was also added to the David Dennis at Stars game with Tony Sukkar from Buildcorp Wallabies ranks as kicking coach for the World Cup and no doubt helped in Bernard Foley’s wonderful After a wonderful display of excellence by the tournament. Thanks for a job well done, Nobby, and best wishes with the Waratahs. Wallabies and The All Blacks in the World Cup, our administrators continue to “dumb down”! It is a shame.

SUFC’s Junior Program continues to grow and impress. Our Under 11s had two wins a draw and two losses at the 2015 State Championships in June. Our Under 12s just missed a semi-final berth and our Under 13s were beaten by Manly in grand final.

At this point I must almost make special mention of Andrew Wennerbom. I cannot thank Andrew enough for stepping into David’s shoes and ensuring the club continued to run smoothly.

This year has been a big year in rugby with the 2015 Rugby World Club being played in London. SUFC continues its tradition of supplying great talent to the Wallaby pool with 6 players in the team; Israel Folau, Bernard Foley, Nick Phipps, Ben McCalman, Will Skelton and Dean Mumm. Each has had great campaigns both at Super and Wallaby levels and it is terrific to watch them play. Nick Phipps and Bernard Foley gave up their time earlier in the year to run a junior clinic for some lucky winners of an auction prize Trivett Rugby World Cup Lunch at Doltone House Darling Island Wharf

Whilst the 2015 year saw no changes at a Foundation Board level, some additions and retirements can be expected over the next 12 months as part of the Board’s renewal program.

In closing, with regret I recently announced to the Board that I have decided to resign as Chairman of the Sydney University Football Club Foundation. Following on from the excellent platform laid by the late David Clarke, it has been a great honour to have served the Foundation and the Football Club. I have been privileged to have had such a capable Board and I greatly appreciate the efforts in recent years to raise additional funds to provide greater financial stability to the Club. I am confident the legacy we have built will continue to grow to ensure the Foundation continues to support the broader goals of the Club.

The distributions made to the Club since the Foundation’s inception now totals approximately $1,015,000.

The Foundation’s ability to distribute such funds to the Club on an annual basis is made possible by having a strong capital fund. On behalf of the Foundation, I would like to thank the generosity of our valued donors who have played a significant role in growing the balance of the fund through donations and

At the end of 2014 we knew that there was a drastically changed landscape in Club Rugby and that we needed to change, not only to continue to be successful, but to do it in a way that made us sustainable for the long term. We made significant changes in how we run the rugby department, and we wore a fair bit of pain, but I am confident that the changes were hugely beneficial and we will reap the rewards if we continue to invest in the right way of running the Club.

42 | Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 2nd XV Report

This years’ Sydney Uni Second Grade team showed great resolve, character and camaraderie to ultimately become Premiers. This wasn’t always the case. After punching well above our weight last season we suffered a Grand Final hangover for large parts of 2015, where the group slipped into the belief that turning up was good enough. Some of the tight losses we endured during the season were a result of this, however we always maintained the belief that we had the talent, and if we brought the right attitude, and were able to execute our game plan, we were title contenders.

2nd celebrates after a try in the Grand Final

Our second loss to Randwick was the turning point of the season, where the coaching group had to exhibit some tough love at training to really change the mindset. Thankfully that tough physical week of training got us back on track for the remainder of the year.

Over the course of the season Randwick were our nemesis, and having lost to them 3 times, 28-34 (home), 22-17 (away) and in the first playoff game 40- 12 it was fitting that we met them in the Grand Final. We had to take the hard road to get there, through the Minor Premiers; Manly at Manly, but an excellent performance in that match put us in good stead for the Grand Final, and our final chance to make amends against Randwick.

The Final was an absolute heart stopper with the lead changing several times. After establishing an early lead, and then surrendering it with just 10 minutes to go, many teams would have dropped their heads to a team that had beaten them 3 times previously. It is a testament to the spirit, courage and pride of the group that they were able to rise up and take their physicality to another level for that final 10 minutes of the Grand Final. Eventually snatching the game by a Matt Narracott, 2nd Grade Best Back for 2015 single point!

Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report | 43 SUFC 2nd Grade, Colin Caird Shield winners 2015

An amazing and truly inspiring effort, in a thrilling match.

I would like to make special mention of the forwards coach Clint Allardice whose technical approach and analysis of oppositions’ set piece was a massive factor in our success. Many thanks also to Jason Grier whom juggled his Riverview coaching commitments to help out when he could. To captain James Swan and the other 61 players involved over the course of Second Grade season this year I thank you for all your hard work, sacrifice and commitment. Although only 17 players took the field during the Grand Final, the title belongs to everyone who contributed during the season both on and off the field.

To our long serving management Scotty Fraser and Steve Barrow thanks again for your help. Thank you to the medical staff for your tireless work in getting the boys right to play. Also a big thank you to Ash and Maxy Miller for their work behind the scenes every week. All your hard work is very much appreciated.

48 | Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 1st Colts Report

The 1st Colts team selected 43 players throughout the season, 31 of whom were debutants and a remarkable 27 of whom were in their first year at the Club. During the season, seven Colts players made their 1st Grade debut, whilst 17 Colts players were promoted into Grade, an increasing trend that will more likely than not continue as SUFC develop quality young footballers and in turn they are selected for representative honours. The National Rugby Championship presents an opportunity, not available in past years, for talented Colts eligible players to play at a higher level, testing themselves against quality opposition, which will only strengthen the Club in the years to come.

Thank you Gavin and Paul, we are truly fortunate to have such selfless volunteers at the Club. This leads me to Ed Walgien, who spends more time helping around the Club than almost any other. He is always the first person to arrive and the last person to leave on both training days and, more importantly, game days.

The ‘Wicks bought us back to reality on a soggy St John’s College Oval where they turned up hungrier than ever to knock the mighty Students off, and indeed they did taking the win 20-13. The playing group pledged after that game that it would never happen again and they kept to it. This was helped by the leadership of Xander Jackman, who kept the boys in line from day one.

The culture that the whole Colts program had was unbreakable.

With such a beautiful day, the crowd were rewarded with some spectacular rugby from our baby juniors, the level of skills at this age is quite impressive and if this is a sign of things to come then the game is heading in the right direction.

The Sydney Uni team played exceptionally well throughout the tournament, and besides their outstanding performances our team would perhaps be the most unique on the day, featuring our first female Rep player in Keturah Matoe (Balmain Juniors) and our first female coach Ms. Marboona Volkman – who certainly from what I was able to see, was the only female coach in the tournament.

Our team had a dominant forward pack, impressive carries throughout the tournament by the front rowers and dominating in the scrums – 8 scrum turnovers over 4 matches! We also had speed in the backs but Kerutah Matoe our first female SUFC Junior Rep player with Tom more impressive was our defence conceding a low Carter at Juniors Presentation Night average of 2 tries per match. Unfortunately our team faced the tournament gun team Parramatta in our last an unfortunate draw placing most of their matches in match when fatigue stared to creep in and the scores the afternoons ending under lights, our U11’s drew 1, reflected that. For a team that only had 3 training sessions and no trial matches before the tournament, lost 2 and won 2. From all accounts the young lads I am very proud of their performance. and parents had fun filled weekend. Special mention should go to the Petersham Junior parents that Thank you Head Coach: Boony Volkman (Canterbury provided hot dogs and a tent for the families, such Juniors), Forwards Coach: Tas Volkman (Canterbury generosity is what so special in grass roots rugby. Juniors) and Team Manager: Karl Cope (Petersham Juniors). UNDER 12’S Results: Despite a shaky start and just losing their first game Uni (15) vs Eastwood Blue (5) – Win against our arch rivals Manly, they continued to dominate their other opponents for most part of the Uni (29) vs Easts Red (0) – Win Championships. The forwards were outstanding Uni (29) vs Warringah White (17) – Win making lots of line breaks down the centre of the park, however North’s team stopped our hopes for Uni (5) vs Parramatta Sky (31) – Loss Semi Finals with an exceptional display of structured play and organised defence. The U12’s were able to UNDER 11’S finish off strong beating Illawarra convincingly to end The U11’s had a successful State Championships their campaign. The teams’ vast improvement from at Blackman Park, Lane Cove – under the expert last year is credited to the dedication of Coaches guidance of coaches – Dave Alagna, Adam Dunn Charles Carter, James Caterson and Hani Elbatoori, and Manager Gary Hooper. Our young ones were and to Manager Alexis Tasker for keeping the group very competitive all throughout their Matches. With together at Camden Rugby Club.

58 | Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report In conclusion I would like to thank the following individuals for their tireless dedication to Sydney University Juniors: Charles Carter who has been the backbone of all things Juniors since its inception to this present date, he has been the ballast of our Juniors Committee, steadying the boat with his experience and knowledge both on the field and off. Alexis Tasker is a name that most players and parents of the U12’s Rep side would know but her contribution to Junior rugby both in Sydney University Some of our Under 12’s at State Championships Juniors and in Canterbury Juniors going back about 10 years and she continues her volunteer work to UNDER 13’S date despite the fact that her twin sons played their last Rep rugby for Uni in the U16’s three years ago. With an under prepared side leading up to this Championships due to external diversions – our I would like also to acknowledge all the support U13’s achievement of Grand Finalists is nothing short we have got from Hannah Catchpole and Sarah brilliance.
