FOREWORD Darren Sprod

feel very privileged to have been asked to write this foreword for the 40-year history book for Wyoming Football Club. IWyoming FC is one of the longest standing members of Central Coast Football (previously CCSA) and has always been an active participant in the Central Coast football family. I have had the opportunity to watch and interact with Wyoming FC over my 30 year involvement with football on the Central Coast as player, referee and administrator of the game. During this time I have seen the club change and develop in many different ways. Wyoming has always been proactive in the development of players and the game on the Central Coast; however the one element that I believe holds Wyoming FC in good stead is its culture. Wyoming FC is what I would call a family club. This is evident by the length of service of a number of its players, its officials and the people you see at the games. Wyoming has always been a welcoming place to visit and its culture travels beyond the football field to interact with its wider family. Another unique attribute of the club is the number of parents and children that have come through the club together. The Club has survived some tough times such as relegation from the Premier League but has always fought back to strength. For those who don’t know I was privileged enough to be on the ground for one of Wyoming FC finest matches, the 2004 Premier League grand final against East Gosford at Central Coast Stadium. As the referee of the match I was on the field prior to kick off and can still vividly remember looking up into the Western Grandstand and viewing a sea of Black and Gold. This to me typified Wyoming’s spirit. I also remember as a ten-year old watching the likes of Frank and Bob O’Toole, Kevin Best, Bruce Philips and Co. That seems so long ago and yet just like yesterday. I have seen a lot of people come through the ranks of Wyoming Football club and I feel fortunate to have been able to spend time with them and to still call some of them my friends today. But for me my personal memory will always be the excitement I got when I received an appointment to referee Wyoming’s First Grade team. It didn’t matter where they were running in the competition they always were a passionate team that I enjoyed interacting with on the field. From players like Phil Robson in my younger days to the likes of Marcus Steele, Michael Kennedy and Ryan Marshall of late I would always go home after a Wyoming match knowing that they had given everything and that I had enjoyed that challenge of refereeing this passionate team and club. Because of the culture of Wyoming FC I am sure the club will only go from strength to strength in the future.

INTRODUCTION Alistair Kennedy & Kevin Best

his book is an update of the original Wyoming Soccer Club history Twritten and published back in 1990 to commemorate the Club’s 20th anniversary. That book was 100 pages in length and was produced with the most basic of publishing technology, without scanners, digital cameras or desktop publishing software. An additional 20 seasons and major advancements in computer technology and digital photography has not only tripled the size of the book but, more importantly, allowed it to be produced to a much improved quality. Having said that the book could not have been produced without those numerous, and frequently anonymous people who prepare match reports for publication in the ‘Central Coast Express’ (throughout the 1970s), later (from 1978 onwards) in the club bulletin and in recent years on the club’s website. We would especially like to thank people such as Marlene Bailey, Dave Goy, Les Place, Peter Morrison and Peter Bech for their foresight in retaining most of their old issues of Tiger Tales. Also to Laurie Godfrey whose scrapbook of newspaper cuttings saved a considerable amount of time that would otherwise have been spent scrolling through newspapers at Gosford Library. The photographs, which are such an important feature of a book such as this, come from a variety of sources and our thanks go to the many people who entrusted them to us for copying, especially in the early years when the copying process was much more complex than it is today. Special thanks to Jorg Breitkopf, Marlene Bailey, Gordon Dorrough, Steve Field, Marie Frost, Bobby Bray, Phil Robson and Dave Sullivan . Also to Steve Hogg who was the club’s official photographer for most of the 1980s and who passed on all of his prints and negatives from that period. Likewise with the club’s current official photographer, Anthony Deans. Thanks also to the many biographers and autobiographers who were able to provide some background on the players and Life members whose profiles appear throughout the book. A note of caution to readers and a plea for your assistance. The various records, statistics and player listings have been accumulated from a number of sources and consequently have differing degrees of reliability. In many cases they are incomplete and if anyone can fill in any of the gaps then please let us know in order that the records may be updated. Likewise if there is anything which you believe to be incorrect again let us know so that it can be corrected. There have now been more than 5000 players represent the club in 1520 teams over 40 seasons so it is all but impossible for everything to be correct. Future Club administrators, who wish to continue the work on the history of the Club, are encouraged to ensure that practices are put into place into the culture of the Club, to secure valuable information and data to make the chore of preparing an accurate picture of the happenings of each season in the Club seemingly straightforward. The amount of unwarranted time spent on collating the contents of this book is enormous and can easily be averted if it was progressively undertaken annually. A particular officer should be given the responsibility each year (an Historian or Record Keeper). The hard part has been done. Don’t let the ball run pass you without, first, putting your foot on it.

8 1970 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1970

ormed on 26 February 1970, and admitted into the Central Coast Soccer Association (CCSA) a month later, the Wyoming Soccer (now Football) Club has grown to become a hallmark Fclub on the New South Wales Central Coast with an outstanding list of achievements. The rise of the club from the mid-1970s onwards was quite remarkable, although it must be said that the influx of young families from Sydney to the Narara and Wyoming areas contributed substantially to the club’s expansion. Nevertheless, much of the credit must go to the coaches and parents who persevered during those first few years when Wyoming was the newest and smallest club on the Coast, and when their teams were regularly on the wrong end of double figure scorelines. Wyoming was not the first soccer club to represent the area. It effectively replaced the ailing Narara-Wyoming Soccer Club which had played (in black and white quartered shirts) at Alan Davidson Park since the mid-1960s. Although a moderately successful junior club in its time, Narara-Wyoming’s main claim to fame lay in the fact that, in 1967, they won the senior (all-age) premiership at their first attempt, defeating Wyong 7-6 (and not a penalty-shootout) in what must have been a remarkable grand final. By 1970, however, Narara-Wyoming had all but folded, and that year only one team (U14) represented the club for the last time. The new Wyoming club had its origins at a Sunday afternoon meeting held at Alan Davidson Park in Renwick Street, Wyoming attended by a number of parents previously connected with the old club, together with other interested parents. With the blessing of the Central Coast Soccer Association (CCSA) a public notice (below) was issued inviting the parents of prospective players (boys only!) to attend a further meeting at the Wyoming Progress Hall in Ronald Avenue. The inaugural meeting of the Wyoming Soccer Club then took place on 26 February 1970 at the home of Laurie O’Malley, subsequently to become the new club’s treasurer. The club’s yellow and black colours, and tiger logo, were decided after consultation with John Jury from the CCSA. About 20 interested parents attended and over the following weeks they were able to round up sufficient numbers to field five junior teams in the 1970 CCSA competition: two U7s, one U8 and one U9, all in their respective ‘B’ grade competitions and one U11 in the sole ‘A’ grade competition in that age group. The club’s colours were, as they are now, yellow and black, although the shirts then were yellow with narrow black vertical stripes. The format for junior soccer in those early years was that all teams, from U6 upwards, played competition soccer – eleven a side, on full sized fields and with semi-finals, finals and grand finals. The first move towards the present day non-competition format for the younger age groups began in 1976 when the finals series was eliminated for the U6 and U7 age groups, and the premiership was decided on a first-past-the-post basis. Between them the five teams of 1970 played a total of 66 matches,

‘Central Coast Express’, February 1970 winning only seven, drawing five and losing the remaining 54. The two older teams were little more than cannon fodder - not surprisingly as most boys were playing for the first time and were competing against well-established teams with experienced players. Neither the U9s nor the U11s won a match that season and they conceded a staggering 321 goals in their combined total of 34 matches. The Under 9s however did have their moment of glory when, against eventual premiers, The Entrance, they managed to score their first goal. The ‘Central Coast Express’ of 15 June 1970 captured the excitement: “ After The Entrance had scored early in the game, the Wyoming side swept through the field in copybook style to score the team’s first ever goal, the heroes of the moment were Peter Dorrough and Stephen Kinkade and the shot was kicked into the goal by the promising new centre half, Michael Stowe”. Alas, the euphoria was to be short-lived ... not only was it their first goal of the year, it was also destined to be their last. To add insult to injury, The Entrance came back to win that particular match 15-1. However 1970 was not all gloom and doom for the fledgling club. The three younger teams, right from the start, were all competitive, and the U7B1 team, coached by Margaret Reynolds, had the distinction of becoming Wyoming’s first semi-finalists, finishing third of the ten teams in the competition. They won the minor semi-final, defeating Wyong 1-0 in the second period of extra-time before going down by a similar score to Umina in a replayed final – the first match remaining deadlocked, again after two periods of extra-time. The team included several players who would go on and represent Wyoming for many years, including Glenn Pudsey, Martin Dorrough and Mark Porter, the latter, in 1986, becoming the first player to receive a 15-year award and still playing with the club in its 21st season. In 1971, the President’s Trophy, a perpetual team trophy for Wyoming’s most successful team, was awarded retrospectively to that U7B1 team of 1970. The other highlight of that first season, and it reflected the club spirit and organisation which have become the hallmark of the Wyoming Club, came at the CCSA’s Gala Day in mid-season. Wyoming won both the March Past and the prize for the most decorative float, and according to newspaper reports of the day, certainly left a good impression on the older, more established clubs. That first year’s committee was headed by Clive Wennerbom, who was president for six of the first seven years of the Club’s life, vice-president Ron Short, secretary John Harris, treasurer Laurie O’Malley, and publicity officer Sheila Astolfi. It was the groundwork laid by these dedicated parents which has allowed the Club to overcome the setbacks of that first season and to set it on the road to its future success.

1971

ts second season saw the number of Wyoming teams increase from five to nine with, significantly, five of these teams competing in the two youngest age divisions. Although they Istill lost more matches than they won (43 wins, 20 draws and 61 losses) the overall performance of the club was a considerable improvement on the previous season. This time three teams qualified for the finals series –the U9s, coached by Kevin Watson; Barry Reynolds’ U7As; and Ron Short’s U11B team. Although undefeated at the end of the competition round (only nine matches were played, the first half of the season being non-competition) the U7As finished in second position behind East Gosford. In the major semi-final Wyoming won their encounter 2-0 to become the club’s first grand finalists. Later in the afternoon they were joined by the U11Bs who, after trailing undefeated minor premiers, Gosford, 2-1 in their major semi, snatched victory with two goals in the last ten minutes, both from Kel Greening, to take the match 3-2. The U9B team reached the final, but only after a marathon three-match minor semi-final against The Entrance. Each of the first two matches went through double periods of extra time, before Wyoming finally won the third match by one goal to nil. Star of the series of matches was the

Wyoming goalkeeper, Paul Douglass, later to become a leading junior and senior Central Coast representative player. Not surprisingly the effort told, and the U9s were beaten 2-1 in the competition final. In the grand finals neither Wyoming team could re-capture their semi-final form, the U7s being defeated 1-0 by East Gosford and the U11s, 3-0 by Gosford. Off the field, the club’s first major construction project took place in 1971 with the removal of an old shed, which the Narara-Wyoming Cricket Club used intermittently as a scoreboard, from the bottom (Renwick Street) corner of the park, to a more central location on the northern side of the park. After renovations the tiny building formed the both the club’s canteen and, on occasions, its meeting room for the best part of ten years until it was replaced by the present canteen/clubhouse/ dressing rooms in 1980. As is the case today the canteen was the focal point of the club’s fundraising activities, and was the domain of a sub-committee called the Ladies Auxiliary. Elected at the club’s inaugural meeting in 1970, the Ladies Auxiliary operated semi-independently of the main committee. It was led in its early years by Ann Short and Sheila Astolfi, and later by people like Paula Robson, Joyce Bulley, Joyce Tawyer, Gayle Cottle, Marlene Bailey and Thea Field. It is difficult to understate the contribution, both in terms of club morale and finances, made by these and all the others who kept the Ladies Auxiliary operating through until the early 1980s. The 1971 Ladies Auxuliary was at the forefront when the Wyoming Soccer Club took part in that year’s CCSA March Past through Gosford. Organising the event was Ann Short who made sure that any children who attended the local Convent school, and so were experienced marchers, were positioned on the end of each row, and so closest to the judges. The ploy worked well enough to enable Wyoming to retain the March Past trophy that it had won the previous year, while the club’s float, featuring a large tiger and a cage full of boys dressed as tiger cubs, again took out the Best Decorated Float award. 1971 IN REVIEW

14 1972 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1972

y 1972, Wyoming’s third season in the CCSA competition, the club’s strength had grown considerably, both in quantity and in quality. Eleven teams represented the club, and such Bwas the fragmented nature of the competition at the time, that already this made them the third largest of the 23 clubs on the coast. Many of the other clubs were small, some with only one or two teams, and many subsequently either disbanded or amalgamated with other, larger clubs. Wyoming’s strength in its early years was concentrated very much upon its younger teams many of which had, by 1972, been together for three seasons. Six of the eleven teams made the semi- finals, including one in the new Under 6 competition. Of the six, one lost in the minor semi, three lost in the finals, and two – the U7As coached by Jorg Breitkopf and Kevin Watson’s U10Bs - made it through to their respective grand finals. Neither of the two grand finalists had an easy path through the final series. Although minor premiers, the 10Bs were beaten 1-0 by Killarney in the major semi-final and had to back up the following day for the final in which they defeated Davistown 2-0. The Under 7 major semi-final saw a titanic struggle between minor premiers Gosford and second placed Wyoming. After two periods of 20 minutes extra time the match remained scoreless. Both coaches rejected the official suggestion that the match be decided by the toss of a coin and, because the final had to be played next day, a replay was hurriedly arranged for that same afternoon at Adcock Park.

Unfortunately, the NSW Government Railways had not foreseen this eventuality and had rostered train driver/soccer coach Breitkopf to take a train south from Gosford station shortly after the scheduled kick-off time. Jorg was left with the invidious decision between disrupting the entire northern line and probably losing his job, or watching his boys play. It was only a guarantee from the parents that one of them would drive down to Hawkesbury River station with the match result which finally convinced Jorg that he should leave the match. Meanwhile, unfortunately for Jorg, the train’s fireman had decided that his driver wasn’t coming, and that the best thing to do would be for him to take the train out himself. This he proceeded to do. The last thing his players saw of their coach, he was sprinting southwards along the railway track in pursuit of his own train! Fortunately, the parent who eventually delivered the result was able to carry the good news that the team had won by one goal to nil and so were through to their first grand final. After such problems grand final day must have been somewhat of an anti-climax. The Under 7As became Wyoming’s first ever premiership-winning team when they were convincingly beat Gosford again, this time 2-0. The match highlighted the team’s outstanding defence - they conceded just two goals in the 15 matches they played during the season. The players, coach and parents of that successful Under 7 team of 1972 were to make a remarkable contribution to the future success of the Wyoming Soccer Club. Nine years later, as the U16A team of 1981, the nucleus of the team was still together and, apart from one season when business commitments intervened, Jorg Brietkopf, had coached them all the way through. During that period they had picked up two further premierships (1974 and 1975), three league championships (1974, 1975 and 1979), were twice runners-up (1973 and 1979) and missed the semi-finals on only one occasion. They won 123 of their 185 matches, scoring 619 goals (at an average of three per match) while conceding only 159 goals. In 1981, when the club introduced its Ten Year Service Awards, six of the ten inaugural recipients came from this one team: Jorg and Michael Breitkopf, Phil Robson, Bryan Bulley, Glenn Butcher and Brad Tawyer. One player, Phil Robson, would play a total of 25 years for the club including eleven years in First Grade.

It’s clear from an analysis of the club’s history, that successful teams tend to provide a large proportion of the club’s administrators. The ‘Breitkopf’ team was a case in point with a number of the parents in the team serving on the Club Committee for varying periods and three of them, Paula Robson, Joyce Bulley and Breitkopf himself, being awarded Life Memberships. Phil Robson would join them in the early 1990s. Surely a unique achievement from a single team. But back to grand final Day 1972. The Under 10B team, their match kicking off just 30 minutes after the start of the U7’s grand final on an adjoining field at Adock Park, were up against Killarney, their conquerors from the previous week’s semi-final. Wyoming almost scored in the first 30 seconds and then both teams missed opportunities during a see-sawing first half. Ten minutes from the end of the game came the turning point when the Wyoming goalkeeper, Stephen White, pulled off a great save to deflect a Killarney shot onto the crossbar. From the rebound Darren Ross cleared the area and found Paul Douglass who set off downfield, passed to Mark Mackie who found Chris Murrell in position to score what would be the only goal of the match. So within an hour Wyoming had won its second premiership! The Jorg Breitkopf junior team in action at Adcock Park.

18 1973 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1973

n retrospect 1973 was probably the season in which the seeds were sown for Wyoming’s future dominance. Again the club’s overall strength grew (in only four seasons it had trebled in size, Ifrom five teams in 1970 to 15 teams in 1973) as did its overall performance (123 wins, 128 losses, 42 draws). It was in fact destined to be the last occasion in which they lost more games than they won in any one season until 1989. This time six Wyoming teams reached the semi-finals, including three which are generally accepted as being amongst the Club’s all-time top ten teams. The 1973 Under 6 competition was split into two divisions – Northern and Southern. Presumably introduced to limit the distances which the young teams had to travel, the change did have the effect of reducing the standard of competition in that age group. The Northern Division was dominated by an outstanding Wyoming team. Coached by Laurie Godfrey, and containing a number of players who were to have distinguished soccer careers, the team were undefeated premiers, scoring a total of 78 goals whilst conceding only one. They won one match, against the weaker of the two Killarney teams in the competition, by 16 goals to nil, with Brett Hutchings scoring 12 goals. After a 1-0 win in the major semi, the U6s played the first Killarney team in another of these epics which would eventually lead to the end of competition soccer in the younger age groups. The match was scoreless at full-time and remained that way through three periods of extra time. After a break of only one hour the match was replayed and the deadlock was finally broken when ace striker Hutchings scored the only goal of the match to tie up Wyoming’s third premiership. Clive Wennerbom’s Under 7As, another team destined to remain together for many years and another outstanding team, finished second in their competition on a countback from East Gosford. After beating that team 1-0 in the major semi they then went on to meet Umina in the grand final. In another tight encounter only one goal was scored, this time by Wyoming’s Rodney Alexander, and so allowing the club to retain the U7 title won by the Breitkopf team in 1972.

The latter team also finished in second place on the competition table and progressed straight to the grand final with a 1-0 win over Gosford. Luck deserted them however on grand final day and they were eventually defeated 0-3 by Gosford, a score which in no way reflected the trend of the match. Despite this loss, closely followed by Ray Presdee’s team’s 1-0 defeat in the U9A grand final, overall it had been another successful season for Wyoming, its last as a purely junior club.

20 1974 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1974

he Wyoming Soccer Club came of age, literally, in 1974 with their successful entry into the CCSA senior Tcompetition. The club was then in its fifth year and its oldest players were rapidly outgrowing the junior ranks, so there was clearly a need to provide an avenue for them to make the transition into the senior game without being forced to leave the club. The early 1970s had been a period of rapid growth for senior soccer on the Central Coast. Prior to this time team numbers had fluctuated considerably and a number of clubs had been formed, dissolved, re-formed, and/or amalgamated. The situation stabilised in 1972 when a more permanent structure was introduced comprising First Grade, Reserve Grade and Under 16 competitions. In 1974 there were sufficient numbers to form a Second Division competition, however with the talent Wyoming was able to muster they sought, successfully, to be included in the First Division competition. Chris Connor was one the first seniors to sign up and he was instrumental in bringing a workmate of his to the club. The workmate was Dan Wilkinson who subsequently became captain- coach of the team for the next two years. One of the best strikers ever to play on the Central Coast, he was very much the on-field inspiration for Wyoming in that first year. The team made a spectacular debut, defeating the reigning premiers, Southern United, by five goals to nil in the first round of the 1974 pre-season competition. This was to be the first of numerous encounters between the two clubs, destined to share most of the honours for the remainder of that decade. The excitement of Wyoming’s first senior goal was captured for posterity by the Central Coast Express of 19 April 1974. They were both scored by striker Mal Tarring, “the first a left footed drive from 18 yards out and the second an easy placement from 10 yards”. In the competition proper of 1974 life wasn’t quite so easy and although they did manage to finish in fourth place (won seven, drew two, lost six) they were bundled out, again by The Entrance, in the minor semi-final. Not surprisingly the Under 17s struggled, most players still being eligible to play U15s, whilst the Reserve Grade team finished a creditable sixth.

Three of the key figures in establishing the Wyoming Soccer Club in senior Central Coast football. Top: Chris Connor, who did much of the recruiting to attract quality senior players. Centre: Wyoming’s first star player, Dan WIlkinson. Bottom: Mal Tarring – scorer of the first goal in First Grade.

In the junior competition the divisional system which had operated on a limited basis during the two previous seasons was extended to all but the oldest age groups (U14 and U15s). The winners of each divisional age group then playing each other for the Association Cup. Wyoming competed in, and dominated, the Northern Division finishing minor premiers in the U6, U7, U8, U9 and U10 age groups – surely a unique achievement by any club. The crowning achievement however came from their three premiership-winning teams: Laurie Godfrey’s U7s, Clive Wennerbom’s U8s and Jorg Breitkopf’s U9s. Remarkably, all three teams went through the season undefeated, with the U7s and U8s collecting back-to-back premierships, and the U9s avenging their defeat in the 1973 U8 grand final. In total the three teams scored a massive 278 goals (4.5 per match) whilst conceding only 9. The U9s became the first Wyoming team to score over 100 goals – Phil Robson having the honour of bringing up their century in a 5-0 win over Doyalson. In all the team found their opponents’ net 121 times and this remains a club record in 2010. The major success of the season came when the U8A team defeated the strong East Gosford team, premiers in the Southern Division, 2-0 in the Under 8 Association Cup. It was Wyoming’s first success at this level, both the U7s and U8s being defeated in their matches. On the junior representative scene Scott Bradley, a member of Wyoming U10A1 team, was selected in the NSW U10 team and so became the Club’s first State representative. A number of the Club’s other junior players, including Mark Porter, Phil Robson, Bryan Bulley and Brian Healey, were regular members of Central Coast teams.

HIGH ACHIEVERS MATTHEW SIMON is one of four Wyoming junior players to play A-League football for the Central Coast Mariners, and the club’s first to represent Australia in a full senior international. Matt played two seasons of junior club football with Wyoming, in the 1995 U9A and 1996 U10A teams, both coached by Wayne Packer. In the first year he regularly backed up as a substitute for the club’s U10F team, scoring in all three finals series matches to help them win the premiership. He also scored twice in the 1996 U10As 3-0 grand final win. From 1997 until 2003 he played representative football, firstly with Central Coast junior teams, and later for Manly where he regularly played as a sweeper. In 2003 Matt returned to local club football with East Gosford, where a number of his rep teammates played and, as an 18-year-old, was a member of the Rams team that went down in a penalty shootout to Wyoming in the 2004 First Grade grand final at Central Coast Stadium. An interested spectator at the match was the newly appointed Central Coast Mariners coach Lawrie McKinna, then in the process of recruiting for the first A-League season. After missing out on selection in the 2005/06 Mariners squad, Matt returned to play for East Gosford in 2005, then joined new Lightning coach, John McLafferty, to play in the NSW Super League competition. McLafferty and McKinna were in regular contact about potential local players, in particular Simon, and late in the 2006/ 07 season Matt was called into the squad as a temporary replacement for the injured Nik Mrdja where the played three matches. After playing another season with Lightning he was given a full Mariners contract and played 20 matches in the 2007/08 season, mostly as a substitute and while he made a good impression he was continually frustrated in his quest for a first goal. Nevertheless his talent had attracted the attention of the national selectors and he made his international debut for the Australian U/23 Olyroos team against Mexico in San Francisco in March 2008. He would go on to play a further nine matches including at the 2008 Intercontinental Cup, where he scored a hat-trick against Ireland, culminating in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The tenacity and determination that had characterised Matt’s career to date paid off handsomely in the 2008/09 A-League season. His elusive first goal came in the opening match of the season against the Newcastle Jets; he went on to start in 18 of the Mariners 21 matches; top the Mariners goal scoring table with 11, just one behind the A-League’s Golden Boot winner, Shane Smeltz; and take out the Mariners Medal for the player of the year. Capping off a dream season, Matt made his debut as a full international for the Socceroos against Indonesia in an Asian Cup qualifying match in Jakarta. Although he was offered a two-year contract with the US major League club, Colorado Rapids, Matt rejected the offer and in 2010 signed a new two-year deal to stay with the Mariners.

1975

he ‘Pensioners’. It was Roger Smith, the then soccer correspondent for the Central Coast Express (and many years later a highly successful Wyoming coach) who first coined the nickname. TWhether it was intended as a compliment or an insult is open to conjecture but, whatever the reason, the name stuck and for the remainder of the 1970s and the early part of the 1980s Wyoming’s First Grade team was known as the ‘Pensioners’. Although there was a certain element of exaggeration in the name, it has to be conceded that most players were beyond the first bloom of youth. By way of example, of the thirteen regular members of the 1980 First Grade squad, eight were on the wrong side of 30, with the average age being 29.6 years. Age of course has its benefits and, although there were younger, fitter and faster teams on the Coast, none could match the ‘Pensioners’ when it came down to tough, hard match experience. Between them the 1980 squad had played an accumulated total of 237 seasons of competitive soccer – probably something in excess of 5,000 matches! However it is not receding hairlines and creaking joints for which the ‘Pensioners’ are most remembered, but rather for their remarkable success. Between 1975 and 1981 they won five out of seven First Grade premierships, were runners-up in the other two and were league champions for four straight years (1975 to 1978). They also won the Northern NSW Amateur Cup in 1976 and 1981, and were beaten finalists in the same competition in 1977 and ‘78. They dominated senior soccer on the Central Coast throughout the latter half of the 1970s and it was the much-maligned ‘Pensioners’ more than anyone else that pushed the Wyoming Soccer Club into the limelight.

All this was in the future in 1975 when the senior team began their second season. That year, for the first –and to date only – time the competition was to be decided on a first-past-the-post basis. Going into the second last round Wyoming and Budgewoi shared the competition lead and with both teams drawn against weaker opponents in the final round, it was this penultimate round which would effectively decide the 1975 premiership. Budgewoi were hot favourites to take the title, having defeated Wyoming 9-0 early in the season, and were drawn to play fourth- placed Southern United. Wyoming were up against third-placed Wyong, and with Budgewoi having a clear advantage in goal averages, had to win and then hope that Budgewoi either drew or lost. Those were the days when local radio station 2GO concentrated heavily on sport during the weekend, even to the extent of broadcasting half-time soccer scores. With Wyoming ahead 2-0 at the break coach Wilkinson dutifully arranged for someone to contact the station and let them know the score. Unfortunately there must have been a bit of Kevin Best’s 35-year commitment to interference on the phone line between Wyoming and Wyoming and Central Coast football began Gosford on that particular Sunday because when the in 1975 when he first played for the club. eager listeners at the Budgewoi camp tuned in they were delighted to hear the news that Wyoming were 2-0 down and consequently would wrap up the premiership for their club. As it turned out they were held to a 1-1 draw by Southern; Wyoming hung on to down Wyong 2-1 and with the final round results going as expected, Wyoming annexed their first senior premiership at only their second attempt. Ray Hildridge, the team trainer in those early years, is another who can attest to the Wilkinson guile. In the return match against Budgewoi, in atrocious weather conditions, Wyoming were hanging on grimly to a one goal lead with only a few minutes remaining, when Wilkinson went down injured. The referee tried to play on, however after a minute or so Wilkinson hadn’t moved, and he halted play, signalling the trainer onto the field. Ray, who to date had managed to remain snug and dry in his car, grudgingly left his haven and waded through the mud to the opposite end of the field. By the time he reached the prone body of the Wyoming skipper, Ray was spattered with mud and absolutely saturated. He bent down to find out the extent of the injury only to be met with a wink and “How long to go, Ray?” But Wilkinson’s greatest contribution to the Wyoming Soccer Club wasn’t made on the field. It was he who was responsible for bringing to the club a man whose name has since become synonymous with Wyoming and Central Coast soccer – Kevin Best. Dan and Kevin had played together since their junior days with the Sydney Hurlstone Park club and when Kevin moved to the Central Coast early in the 1975 season, Wilkinson persuaded him to join him at Wyoming. Meanwhile, in the junior competition the North/South divisional system operated for the U6 to U9 age groups with the A and B grade format returning for all age groups from U10 upwards. Wyoming had another great year, with every ‘A’ grade team from U6 to U13 reaching the semi- finals and four premierships capping off what was the club’s most successful season to date. The outstanding performance was that of Terry Norton’s U7A1 team who came from fourth place to win the Northern Division premiership. They defeated Doyalson 1-0 in the minor semi- final and Budgewoi 2-1 in the final, to reach the grand final.

26 1975 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

Their opponents, the Killarney No 1 team, had finished the competition proper as undefeated minor premiers and, to make Wyoming’s task all that much harder, had not conceded a goal all season. Ironically, the only goal in the match came from a Killarney defender who put the ball into his own net midway through the first half. In the second half Killarney attacked constantly but their young keeper, Kurt Jones, making some brilliant saves, Wyoming were able to preserve their lead. The following morning the team backed up against Woy Woy, winners of the Southern Division grand final. Again the only goal came midway through the first half, however on this occasion it was Woy Woy who took the lead, and although Wyoming came back strongly they were unable to equalise. The amazing run of Laurie Godfrey’s team came to an end when, after taking out their third successive minor premiership and defeating The Entrance 1-0 in the major semi-final, they were downed 1-0 by that team in the grand final. The U9s restored the club’s fortunes when they defeated The Entrance 4-2, with goals from Stephen Van Dorp (2), Garry Marshall and Graham Taylor. Coached in 1975 by Leonie Van Dorp, the win meant that they had emulated the feat of the Laurie Godfrey team by winning back-to-back undefeated premierships, and three successive premierships. Unfortunately they came down to earth rather abruptly the following day – beaten 4-1 by Southern Division premiers Umina in the Association Cup. In the U10A competition the Jorg Breitkopf team proved beyond doubt that they were the best on the Coast in their age group by taking out the ‘A’ grade premiership. Although it was their third premiership in four years it was their first in a combined, non-divisional competition. The grand final against East Gosford at Baker Park, Wyong was a tight, competitive match and was decided six minutes from full time when a corner from Michael Breitkopf led to the winning goal from Brian Davies. Next up came the U11 grand final, and yet another Wyoming victory as Ray Presdee’s team avenged their loss in the previous year with a convincing 5-2 win over East Gosford.

Two new major club awards were introduced at the end of the 1975 season. The first award, the Clubman of the Year (later changed to Clubperson of the Year), was decided by secret ballot by the outgoing Club Committee and given to the individual who had made the greatest contribution to the general administration and success of the club throughout the preceding year. Although not restricted to members of the Committee, all winners to date have been. The honour of being the first winner went to Don Paterson, later the CCSA fixtures officer for many years, and a life member of that body. The second award, and indeed the ultimate award which any sporting club can grant to its members, was Life Membership. At the 1975 Annual General Meeting three were awarded, to Clive Wennerbom, Kevin The cloth badges presented to all members of Wyoming’s Watson and Jorg Breitkopf. premiership-winning First Grade team of 1975. It was only the second season that the club had participated in the senior competition. For the first, and only, time the title was decided on the first-past-the-post method.

30 1976 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1976

he 1975 success resulted in a significant influx of new senior players to the club, to such an extent that five senior teams took the field that season – First and Reserve Grade in First TDivision, one team each in Second and Third Division, and an U15 team, which in that season was classed as a senior competition. The year also saw the ‘Pensioners’ at their peak. First Grade finished the competition proper as undefeated minor premiers with 15 wins and three draws from their 18 matches. In the process they scored 82 goals and conceded only five, three of which came in one drawn match against Southern United. Thus in their 17 other matches they let in only two goals! The competition reverted to the semi-final/final/grand final format, and a 3-0 victory over Southern United in the major semi-final saw Wyoming through to their first ever senior grand final. Coach Eric Marshall named the following 13-man squad for the match: Kevin Best (Captain), Alan Beecroft, Chris Connor, Joe Dalforno, Mal Tarring, Frank O’Toole, Bruce Phillips, Mel White, Ken Butt, Dan Wilkinson, Jim Reed, Col Sinclair and Mike Pearson. The match, once more against the old enemy, Southern, was played at Adcock Park and proved to be a thrilling encounter. After holding off an early onslaught by Southern the Wyoming attacking line of Butt, O’Toole, White and Wilkinson began to mount pressure and just minutes before half- time a Wilkinson corner found Mel White who somehow managed to drive a low ball through the packed Southern defence into the corner of the net. With their team in front, the Wyoming defence came to the fore in the second half and, despite great solo runs from Butt and Reed, there was no further scoring in the match. Man of the Match was Ken Butt, a new recruit to the club who came to the Coast after four seasons with the leading Sydney first division club Prague. Equally at home in the midfield (he was, despite his small stature, a tenacious marker) or on the left wing, Butt was to establish himself as one of Wyoming’s best ever players. In Reserve Grade the competition had been a two horse race, once again between Wyoming and Southern United. Predictably the two teams met in the grand final. Southern were effectively undefeated, their only loss being to their own First Grade team in the Association Cup Final – some indication of the club’s strength. After losing 3-2 in the major semi-final Wyoming cruised into the grand final with a comfortable 4-0 win over Wyong, but in a fast and fiery match, the grand final went to Southern United by four goals to two. In order to maintain the squad’s match fitness for the upcoming State Amateur Cup final, coach Marshall entered the team in the Bloomfield Cup, a two-day invitational knockout competition held in Orange, open to all reigning premiers from throughout NSW. Wyoming won each of its five Saturday matches, scoring a total of 11 goals to nil, and so progressed to the semi-finals on the following day. After a struggle they downed Wilkinson and Best’s old team, Hurlstone Park, by 3-2 and then toppled the ACT professional team Canberra North 2-0 in the Final. Star of the competition was Dan Wilkinson who scored ten of Wyoming’s 16 goals. And so it was back home to contest the Amateur Cup Final. This is a knockout competition run by the Northern NSW Amateur Federation open to all teams playing within that body’s boundaries, effectively everywhere in NSW north of Sydney. Until this time no Central Coast team had ever won the Cup, a record sure to be broken –Wyoming’s opponents once again were their great local rivals of that year, Southern United, fresh from winning the CCSA Association Cup on the previous Sunday.

31 TIGER TALES 1976

Wyoming entered the match, played at the Davistown RSL sports field, as hot favourites following their grand final victory and fielded the same 13-man squad. Once again, however, Southern proved to be worthy opponents in what was to be a hard, fast and physical encounter. Wyoming were in trouble early when they conceded a penalty but gained a reprieve when Southern’s Thomsen put his shot wide of the posts. Both sides had several further chances but when the full-time whistle sounded the match was still scoreless. Two 10-minute periods of extra time failed to break the deadlock and, for the first time in the history of the Cup, the game was decided by a penalty shootout. Wyoming won the shootout by five goals to three to cap off a great season for the club. Capping a great season Dan Wilkinson was later named the CCSA Player of the Year (surprisingly enough Wyoming’s only winner of this award until Greg Pryor’s 1987 success) whilst Frank O’Toole took out the Club’s Senior Player of the Year Award. The sudden ascendancy of the club’s senior teams was matched by an equally sharp decline in the fortunes of the junior teams. Although six teams in the U8 to U13 age groups reached the semi- finals, for the first time since 1971, Wyoming failed to collect either a premiership or a minor premiership. Only one team, Ron Borthwick’s U12As managed to reach the grand final (from fourth place) only to be narrowly beaten 1-0 by East Gosford. To avoid the end of season marathons which were occurring every season, the U6 and U7 competitions were now decided on a first-past-the-post system and each of the number one Wyoming teams finished in fourth place. When first selected the U6A1 team was without a coach, and as is so often the case, one parent eventually agreed to take on the job. His name was Graham Smith, and he was destined to coach what was to virtually remain the same team for the next ten years and turn them into one of the club’s outstanding junior teams. The end of season presentations saw club secretary Ray Taylor become the second winner of the Clubman of the Year award whilst Frank O’Toole, in his first season with the club, won the first of his two Senior Player of the Year trophies. Although only 24 years old, O’Toole brought a wealth of experience with him, having played for the Western Suburbs club in the Sydney First Division competition, where he was a member of their premiership-winning Third Grade side of 1969. From there he went to Broughton United in the strong Sydney Amateur League, the same club for which Wyoming teammates, Jim Bryden and Mel White both played. An extremely skilful and creative midfielder O’Toole was very much the nucleus around which the successful First Grade teams of the late 1970s and early 1980s revolved. In 1982 he played State League for the Central Coast but continued to play whenever possible for his club until 1986. After a brief retirement returned to the soccer field, playing alongside another ex-Wyoming Frank O’Toole played First Grade for stalwart, Bruce Phillips, with the Terrigal Second Wyoming for a total of ten years between Division team. For a number of years he was also a high 1976 and 1986 and also coached in 1979 grade player, captain and administrator with the when injury prevented him from playing. In Kincumber-Avoca Cricket Club. the eyes of many he is the finest player to ever represent the Club.

ALAN DAVIDSON PARK

Alan Davidson Park has been the home ground of the Wyoming Soccer/Football Club from the time of its first match in March 1970 right through to the present time. The park had been cleared in the late-1950s when the original turf cricket wicket had been laid and, under the name Wyoming Oval, was the home of the Narara- Wyoming Cricket Club until 1989. The park was renamed in January 1969 after the great Australian Test cricketer who had grown up at Lisarow. The Single-Wicket match played to celebrate the official naming of the ground (see above) attracted a host of past, present and future Test cricketers including Richie Benaud, Bob Simpson, Doug Walters This series of aerial photographs and Kerry O’Keefe. was taken in the mid-1980s.

34 1977 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1977

nother outstanding season was enjoyed in 1997, at least on the senior scene, but was marred only by a series of near misses for the First Grade team. On the positive side the club won its Afirst Senior Club Championship, both the First and Reserve Grade league championships as well as the Reserve Grade premiership. The disappointments were the top team’s narrow defeats, firstly in the Association Cup semi- final where they lost 5-4 in a penalty shootout to Southern United, then a 1-0 loss, again to Southern in the Northern NSW State Amateur Cup Final, and finally a 2-1 defeat by Wyong in the premiership grand final at Davistown Oval. The loss in the Association Cup semi-final was just one in a series of such losses which was to mark Wyoming’s participation in the Association Cup (currently the Central Coast Cup). Throughout the eight-year period in which Wyoming dominated Central Coast senior soccer, the club had consistently failed to reach the Final, let alone win the Cup, a hoodoo which has continued right through until 2010. The Reserve Grade premiership was a well-deserved reward for the many First Grade ‘fringe’ players who remained with Wyoming when they could easily have made the top grade with other clubs. In many ways such players were the very reason that the club was so successful in First Grade, there being intense competition every week for first team spots. The depth of talent was such that the No.3 Wyoming team was good enough to reach the fourth round of the 1977 Association Cup.

The junior club, given its prior record, was going through a crisis of sorts. For the first time since the club’s formation the number of registered junior players fell and Wyoming fielded only 13 teams – two less than in the previous year. The final series was a disaster. Five of the ten eligible teams reached the semis but, in the nine matches played they were only able to win two: a 1-0 minor semi-final win by the U11As (now coached by Kevin Best but still basically the same team which Clive Wennerbom had coached as the U6As of 1972) and the U12Bs 3-0 win in the final which made them the Club’s only grand finalists of 1977. Any Wyoming ‘B’ team which reaches a grand final must invariably defeat the number one teams of most other smaller clubs and so the effort of Lou D’Adam’s U12Bs was outstanding. Unfortunately, they were eventually defeated 2-0 by Gosford’s only U12 team, their loss meaning that, for the second year in a row, Wyoming had failed to win a junior premiership The Senior Player of the Year trophy went to First Grade’s popular ‘gentle giant’, Mal Tarring. A veteran of the club’s first ever senior game in 1974, Mal was a skilful ball player who possessed an excellent positional sense. Although generally to be found in the defensive line he could play anywhere and in fact has the distinction of having scored Wyoming’s first ever senior goal. Mal was one of six Wyoming players selected in the Central Coast representative team which won the Northern NSW championship for the second successive year, the others being Bruce Phillips, Joe Dalforno, Ken Butt, Frank O’Toole, and Dan Wilkinson. To complete the Wyoming connection the team was coached by Eric Marshall and managed by Audi Van Muelen. The other major award winner was club secretary Val Marshall who was voted the Clubman of the Year for 1977.

HIGH ACHIEVERS

LISA POWER (nee VAN DORP) was the first player from the Wyoming Football Club to represent Australia. The daughter of club stalwart and Life Member, Leonie Van Dorp (later Leonie Best), she first played football in 1979 at the age of eight. However, because Wyoming didn’t have any all-female teams, she played in the Woy Woy Under 16 Girls team. With the formation of Wyoming’s first female teams in 1981 Lisa was finally able to join her club of choice as a member of that year’s Under 16B team coached by Norm Woods. She played in the club’s oldest junior team until 1985 when, still only aged 15, she was chosen to play First Grade under coach Jeff Fathers. Between 1983 and 1988 she also played junior representative football for the Central Coast, Northern NSW, Metropolitan North High Schools and NSW High Schools, while continuing to play for the senior Wyoming team through until the end of the 1989 season. Between 1985 and 1990 she was a member of the Australian National Junior squad, and in 1987 she played for Australia in the prestigious Under 19 Dallas Cup in the United States. In 1988 she was selected in the first Central Coast senior representative team that competed in the strong Sydney Womens State League competition. Also in 1988, Lisa was one of the first eight women players in Australia nominated to train at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra. Unfortunately, there was only 16 spots available and they all went to male nominees. The women players were not accommodated. Following the 1989 season the Central Coast rep. team folded and in order to maintain the standard that she had now reached Lisa was forced to play in the Sydney competition, for North Ryde in 1990 and then for Sydney Olympic in 1991. While there she also played in the NSW senior State team between 1989 and 1991. In 1992 Lisa she moved to Melbourne where she worked for the Victorian Soccer Federation, and played for the Nunawading club in the local First Division competition as well as for the Victorian state team. In 1993 she returned to Sydney Olympic where she also regained her place in the NSW State Team that won the 1993 National Championship in Darwin. With selection in the Australian Matildas team looking certain a serious ankle injury forced her to retire in 1993 at the age of just 23. In January 1994 she started working at Australian Soccer Federation, where she was the National Teams Administrator from May 1994 to June 1997, working alongside three Socceroo coaches, Eddie Thomson, Raul Blanco and Les Scheinflug and later with Corinne Blatter, the daughter of current FIFA President Sepp Blatter. In 1999 Lisa resumed her playing career on the Central Coast, initially with Kincumber and then back at Wyoming for her final two playing years in 2003 (WAA1) and 2004 (Womens Premier League). She also coached the Wyoming U14A Girls team that were runners-up in the 2003 competition.

1978

season of mixed fortunes, with the two leading senior teams again dominant, but with the slump in form in the junior competitions continuing. Fortunately the decline in player A registration numbers was halted, with numbers returning to their 1976 level. Coaching both First and Reserve Grade was Chris Trimblett, an Englishman who many consider to be Wyoming’s best ever senior coach. His success ratio certainly could not be faulted. Both teams won their respective premierships and First Grade only narrowly failed to win its second State Amateur Cup Final. In the First Grade competition, Wyoming clinched their fourth successive minor premiership in the tightest of finishes. Southern United finished on equal points, each team having a record of 12 wins, three draws and two losses from their 16 matches, however Wyoming’s superior goal difference gave them the title. The major semi-final proved to be a triumph for 17-year-old Chris Cantwell, who scored all three of Wyoming’s goals in their 3-2 victory over Southern. An exciting and skilful ball player Cantwell played with Wyoming until 1984, and later returned to play First Grade for the Terrigal club. Southern defeated Wyong in the final to set up yet another major clash against Wyoming. The Wyoming team of Jenson, Phillips, Best, Trimblett, Dewhurst, O’Toole, Butt, Sinclair, Reed, Cantwell and Arundell were in outstanding form and scored a decisive victory. Goal scorers were Frank O’Toole (37th minute) and Jim Reed (80th minute) giving their team a 2-0 victory. Once again Cantwell starred and was awarded the Player of the Match Award. As good as the First Grade performance was, it was their Reserve Grade clubmates who stole the show in 1978. Injuries and suspensions left them without four top players for their major semi-final clash with the unbeaten minor premiers, Southern United. In spite of this, they played brilliantly to win Above: Southern United’s Steve the match 3-2.

of the replay again had Wyoming on top, and although they again faltered in the second half, Southern were unable to capitalise. It was the first occasion that the Club had won both the First and Reserve Grade premierships – and it would be 29 years before it happened again. For the third year in a row Wyoming and Southern United contested the Amateur Cup Final. Following what was by now becoming a familiar pattern, Wyoming were again unable to repeat their premiership domination over Southern in knockout matches and the Cup once again returned to the Peninsula following a hard earned 2-1 win by Southern. Best performed of the junior teams was Steve Senior’s U12Bs who finished in fourth place, defeating Avoca/Davistown 1-0 in the minor semi-final, before being beaten by the same score by Berkeley Vale in the final. The U15As, coached by Max Latty, also reached the final where, after leading 1-0 with only seven minutes left to play, they were over-run and beaten 2-1, again by Berkeley Vale. These two losses meant not only that Wyoming had failed, for the third consecutive season, to win a junior premiership, but also that, for the first time since 1970, no Wyoming team took the field on junior grand final day. Help was on the horizon though in the form of an U6 team which began playing together that season, and which was destined to become arguably Wyoming’s best-ever junior team. Coached by Warren Anderson they played 18 matches that year, losing only one and having a goal record of 74-2, Andrew Breitkopf top scored with 34 goals. Remarkable as their record was it wasn’t good enough to win the premiership. Budgewoi, unbeaten and with a 73-1 scoring record, took the honours. It was to be one of this great team’s few reversals. Like the U6As, Graham 1978 UNDER 6A1s - RUNNERS-UP Smith’s U8As were pipped at Rear (l to r): Silas Carter, Jason Bush, Andrew Briekopff, the post by Budgewoi, finishing Wayne Gregory, unknown. Front (l to r): Darryl Jones, Stephen Cottle, in second place with a goal Paul Moriarty, Jarrod Mobberley, John Bailey difference of 60-8 from their packed season of 22 matches. Behind the scenes another great team was forming. At the beginning of the year Jill Smith accepted the position of Club secretary, and she was joined by Kevin Best who took over the Presidency of the club mid-season with the resignation of Jim McCann. Jill was the brains behind the new club bulletin first issued in 1978, and subsequently named Tiger Tales, which was Wyoming’s principal communications medium until 2004 when it became replaced by the Club website.

HIGH ACHIEVERS

JOHN CARLAW played just one season of soccer with the Wyoming Soccer Club before embarking upon an successful rugby league career. While his soccer career was short (in the 1985 U10A team coached by Eddie Mason), his contribution was significant - he scored the extra-time match-winning goal in the team’s 2-1 grand final win over The Entrance at Umina Oval. Carlaw started playing top-level rugby league with the Hunter Mariners club in the Super League competition of 1997. Following the disbanding of that club upon the creation of the National Rugby League, he joined another new venture team, the Melbourne Storm for their first season. In 1999 he moved to the Balmain Tigers for their final year before they merged with Western Suburbs Magpies to form the Wests Tigers club, whom Carlaw continued to play with. In 2002 he moved to the New Zealand Warriors and played in their grand final loss at the end of the season. He played another season with New Zealand before moving to the St. George Illawarra Dragons for his final year in 2004. (Ref: Wikipedia)

ROBBIE ROSS was another rugby league high achiever whose first experience of team sport was on the soccer field with Wyoming. For the first three years (1981 U6A through to 1983 U8A1s) in a very talented team coached by Russ Malsem, winning the Player of the Year in the Under 8s. His final year was in the 1984 U9As, coached by Eddie Mason. Like John Carlaw he began his rugby league career as a junior with the Ourimbah-Wyoming club then moved to Newcastle because of the greater opportunities offered from there. By 1992 he had won a spot in the Australian Schoolboy team that toured New Zealand and in 1994 made his NRL debut with the Newcastle Knights. He played 20 matches for the Kinights in two seasons before signing with the Brisbane Broncos and playing in the 1996 Super League competition. The following season he returned to Newcastle, this time with the Hunter Mariners club, also in the Super League and was selected to play in two of the Super League Tri-Series matches. When the rugby league re-unification took place in 1998 he was snapped up by the newly- formed Melbourne Storm club and he would remain there for the remainder of his rugby league career, establishing himslef as one of Australia’s finest fullbacks. His career peaked in 1999 when he played for NSW in all three State of Origin matches, in the second of which he scored the fastest try in Origin history; then won a grand final with Storm before playing for Australia in the first match of that year’s TriSeries competition against New Zealand. Although he started the 2000 season in outstanding form, scoring 12 tries in 13 matches and retaining his position as New South Wales fullback, a knee injury prevented Ross from playing. Indeed the injury was the first in a spate of problems that would bring about the end of his playing career after the 2003 season at the age of only 28.

42 1979 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1979

yoming celebrated its tenth season of soccer by winning the Sterland Trophy Wfor the first time and by picking up one senior and three junior premierships. The Sterland Trophy, awarded for the Junior Club Championship, had been won by the Ettalong Beach club between 1964 and 1966, before becoming a fixture at East Gosford, who won it for the next twelve years (1967-1978). In many ways, the 1979 First Grade premiership victory was the ‘Pensioners’ best performance. They began the season without six of their regular First Graders. This, together with the loss of 21 lower grade players, left the club struggling to field competitive senior teams from week to week. Their eventual success was a triumph for new First Grade coach, Frank O’Toole, out for the season through illness, who moulded together a patched-up senior squad from the remaining players, several newcomers and a number of U16 players such as Phil Cary, Len Donnelly, Brett Kilpatrick and Steve Frame. The First Grade team’s major rival in 1979 Wyoming captain Kevin Best raises the Thorten proved to be Wyong, who defeated them twice in Trophy following his team’s 2-1 extra-time the two competition rounds, finished minor victory over Wyong at Grahame Park. premiers, relegating Wyoming to the unfamiliar role of second place. Wyong’s first round victory by three goals to two broke a remarkable sequence, it being the first time that the First Grade team had been beaten at Alan Davidson Park. In the major semi Wyong once more prevailed, winning by 1-0 and forcing Wyoming into their first premiership final. On a bitterly cold and wet afternoon at Davistown Wyoming downed Southern 2-1 in what was by now their ‘normal’ 110 minute match. This time, Wyoming went into the grand final (their fourth in a row), played at Grahame Park, as slight underdogs, having now lost all three of their previous encounters with Wyong. Wyong began strongly and only some brilliant saves from Wyoming’s young goalkeeper, 22-year- old Glen Stewart, kept them in the match. They dominated the midfield throughout the first half and Wyoming attacks were few and far between. Their defence however, spearheaded by Dummermuth and Tarring, continually frustrated the Wyong attacking raids. After 85 minutes of play the stalemate was finally broken. Wyoming striker Dave Cronk was brought down in the box and, from the resultant penalty, scored what appeared to be the winning goal. It was not be. Right on full-time, from a scrimmage in the Wyoming goal mouth, Wyong equalised to force the game into extra time. With three minutes remaining in the second stanza of extra time skipper Kevin Best broke through and scored. This time there was no comeback as the Wyoming defence held. The Thorsten Trophy once more went back to Alan Davidson Park. In the two senior lower grades both Wyoming teams reached the semi-finals. The Second Division were knocked out in the minor semi-final whilst Reserve Grade were disappointingly beaten firstly

A tough defender who came to Wyoming from the Earlwood club in Sydney, his strength lay in his ability to break up opponent’s attacking moves, often as much with his ability to read the game as with his excellent tackling technique. In the junior competition the disappointments of the previous three seasons were forgotten as the club picked up three premierships. Warren Anderson’s U7As lost only one match and finished on top of their competition, as did the U7B side, coached by Dennis Reynolds. The latter was an outstanding performance, given that they were the No.2 Wyoming side, but were up against the No.1 sides from most of the other clubs in their competition. Not only did they win the premiership but they were undefeated, scoring 65 goals to 3. The third junior premiership was won by Graham Smith and his U9As. They did it tough after losing their major semi-final and just scraping home in the final. In the grand final, held that year at Grahame Park, they drew 0-0 with Killarney and were forced into a Sunday replay at East Gosford where they won 2-0. Capping off a fine season for the family, Jill Smith was later named as the 1979 Clubman of the Year.

48 1980 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1980

lthough 1980 was a disappointing year in terms of premiership victories, across the board it was arguably the Club’s best year to date, with them becoming the first club ever to win Aboth the Junior (Sterland Trophy) and Senior Club Championships in the same season. For the rapidly ageing ‘Pensioners’ it was very much a year of peaks and troughs. As mentioned previously, their average age was now almost 30, yet they were very much still the team to beat. In contrast to the exodus of the previous year 1980, began with a flood of players either joining or returning to the club. The most notable new recruit was Jim Bryden, according to many good judges, the best striker ever to play for Wyoming. Bryden, an ex-patriate Scot from England, came to the club from the Sydney Inter-Suburban team Western Suburbs, the club which had also previously provided one of Wyoming’s other all- time greats in Frank O’Toole. Frank himself rejoined the playing ranks in 1980 after his successful season as non-playing coach. Also returning after brief sojourns with other clubs were Bruce Phillips, Dan Wilkinson and Chris Trimblett. With this influx of talent, competition for First Grade positions was intense and new coach Warren Anderson found himself in the luxurious position of being able to select from almost 20 players of First Grade calibre. Despite this, First Grade got off to a slow start and were beaten 1-0 by Wyong in the early part of the season. From then on the team settled down to a string of large wins, before slumping to three more competition losses and a fruitless trip to Tamworth where they were knocked out of the Amateur Cup. Their Association (Norman Ross) Cup misfortunes continued when they were beaten 2-1 by Wyong in what was a rather vigorous match, culminating in a 14-man brawl. The team’s form returned sufficiently to enable them to take second place in the competition ladder, one point behind minor premiers Wyong. The major semi saw them spring an upset 4-2 win over Wyong, and so progress to their fifth successive grand final, and another encounter with Wyong, this time at Morrie Breen Oval, Kanwal – the fifth different grand final venue in as many years! With the game barely under way an infringement on the edge of the box gave Wyong a penalty and a 1- 0 lead. At half-time the score was unchanged after 45 minutes of fairly uninspiring football. The tempo and quality of the game picked up in the second half but when Jim Bryden missed from the penalty spot it looked like being Wyong’s day. With only 13 minutes left Wyoming’s break came when the Wyong goalkeeper misjudged a cross from Frank O’Toole, and Mel White, at full stretch, squeezed the ball into the net. Despite giving Wyong a start, the ‘Pensioners’ were coming home stronger. It was another piece of O’Toole magic, two minutes from full-time, which wrapped up the Frank O’Toole raises the premiership game. trophy at Morrie Breen Oval.

After a quick break down the left wing, O’Toole received the ball 20 metres out from the Wyong goal, turned two defenders and laid on a perfect through ball to striker Bryden, whose left foot shot gave the keeper no chance. There was now a three tier structure in the junior age groups. U6s and U7s played totally non- competition soccer. The U8s played for a premiership but it was decided on a first-past-the-post basis, while the U9s to U16s played the normal final series. In the U8A competition the Warren Anderson coached side won their second premiership, this time being undefeated in their 22 matches. In the older age groups the season ended in disappointment for seven of the eight Wyoming teams which reached the semi-finals. The club’s only grand finalists were its three Under 9 teams coached by Steve Field (U9As), Peter Frost (U9Bs) and Ross Hancock (U9C1s). All three teams made it through from third or fourth place, winning each of their minor semis and finals. The ‘B’ and ‘C’ teams were each opposed to unbeaten teams and although defeated 3-0 and 1-0 respectively their efforts were rewarded with the club’s Patron’s Award and Newsagency Award. The U9As were successful, defeating Umina 2-1 giving coach Steve Field a premiership in his first season. Steve was to establish himself as Wyoming’s longest serving coach, chalking up over 250 matches between 1980 and 1988. The battle for the Sterland Trophy was the closest on record but in the end it remained at Alan Davidson Park, won by Wyoming with 407 points - one solitary point ahead of the emerging Umina club. With total non-competition soccer now being progressively introduced for the youngest age divisions (U6 and U7 in 1980) the club created Achievement Awards for the best performances by non-competition teams. One was awarded in 1980 to a fine U7B team, coached by Bryan Bulley and Phil Robson, which went through the season undefeated. The nucleus of the team were later to win back-to-back premierships as the U9As and U10As of the 1982 and 1983 seasons.

54 1981 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1981

he vigorous growth rate which had begun in 1978 continued apace in 1981 with 440 players registered in 34 teams – an increase of 59 players and six teams over the previous year’s Tregistrations. In the senior competition, it was to be the last hurrah for the ‘Pensioners’. As had happened in 1979, they lost a number of players with a group of them transferring to the East Gosford club. The turnover in senior players was such that, at one stage, in a mid-season Amateur Cup match there were only two survivors from the previous season’s grand final winning team. For the second successive season, Warren Anderson was coach of both first and Reserve Grades. Once more it was a season of fluctuating form –a slow start, some poor mid-season performances against weaker sides, with the capacity to lift themselves when confronted by the top teams – witness their a great first round win over Wyong by six goals to two. The team finished in third spot, behind Umina and Wyong, and then eliminated Toukley-Gorokan by two goals to one in the minor semi-final. The Umina/Wyong major semi was drawn and replayed mid-week, leaving the losers, Wyong, injury-ridden and jaded for the final. Wyoming took full advantage with a 4-0 victory, although the score did flatter them, Wyong finishing the game with only nine players. Although Umina had failed to defeat Wyoming during the competition proper they entered the grand final as warm favourites in this, Wyoming’s sixth straight grand final. In blustery conditions both keepers were hard pressed with Wyoming’s Stewart making several amazing saves. Once more the match went to extra time, however on this occasion the winning goal went against them when, with five minutes remaining, Umina finally scored to earn that club’s inaugural senior premiership.

Front (l to r): Mark Lucas, John Bailey, Wayne Gregory, Paul Moriarty, Steven Cottle, John Goodman, Darryl Jones. First Grade’s defeat was offset to some extent by their second victory in the State Amateur Cup and by the Reserve Grade team’s amazing comeback in their grand final. Playing against East Gosford in the Reserve Grade grand final, Wyoming trailed 0-3 shortly after half-time, but fought back tenaciously to equalise, taking the match into extra time and eventually to joint premiership. The 1981 State Amateur Cup had earlier been conducted over the three day June long weekend at the Killarney club’s grounds at Bateau Bay. Eight teams contested the Cup, organised on a two group, round-robin basis with the winners of each group to meet in the final. Wyoming won their group defeating Tamworth RSL, Taree and Wauchope and met Tamworth Police Boys Club in the Monday afternoon final. With their opponents searching for their third straight win in the Cup, Wyoming took the match 3-1 with Dave Cronk (2) and Clive Richardson scoring the goals. In their tenth, and final, season together the Breitkopf team spent almost as much time in hospital casualty waiting rooms as they did on the football field. In all, seven players suffered serious injuries, including four broken limbs and one requiring a major knee operation. Despite these setbacks the team remained competitive, beating the eventual premiers, Woy Woy, twice during the competition rounds before narrowly losing to them in the minor semi-final. Earlier they set what was then a club record when they defeated Ettalong by 21 goals to nil. The junior club had its best representation on grand final day for many years, with six teams on the field, and the end result of three premierships and one joint premiership proving a satisfactory result. The Anderson team, now the U9A1s, were forced to share the title with a tenacious Terrigal team who held them to a scoreless draw. Bob O’Toole emulated Steve Field’s feat of the previous year when his U9C1 team gave him a premiership in his first season as a Wyoming coach. They defeated Gosford 1-0. The Field team (U10As) obviously thrived on the pressure of finals football – for the second successive season they

56 1981 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010 reached the grand final from fourth place, although this time they had to be satisfied with runners- up pockets. Graham Smith’s team defeated Killarney 2-1 in the U11A grand final. Over the years there was considerable friendly rivalry between the Anderson and Smith sides, both great teams in their own right, and the older team made the most of their better result. Despite this, the 1981 President’s Trophy went to the U9s. Prior to 1981 no Wyoming junior team had won any competition older than the U12s age group. Ray Hall’s U14As set the record straight with a courageous 2-1 grand final victory, after having won through from fourth place. It was a fine reward for a team which included three players, Craig Bennett as well as brothers Darren and Scott Neilson, who had played with Laurie Godfrey’s outstanding team of the early 1970s. The 1981 Senior Player of the Year was won by Dave Cronk. A product of the North Ryde club, he played for Wyoming between 1977 and 1982, coaching both First and Reserve Grade teams in his final season. Equally at home in midfield or the forward line, Cronk was a tireless support player, providing that rugged style of soccer which is an essential component of all top teams. Gayle Cottle, a tireless worker with both the Ladies Auxiliary and the Club Committee, was the winner of the 1981 Clubman of the Year. The 1981 season saw the club’s old weatherboard kiosk at Alan Davidson Park being demolished and replaced by the current canteen/clubhouse. Financed jointly by Gosford Council and the Narara-Wyoming cricket and Wyoming Soccer clubs the project had been talked about as far back as 1974. The construction was done largely through volunteer labour during the summer of 1980/81. The major contributions from the soccer club came from Peter Frost (plumbing), Tony Lucas (carpentry) and ‘Rusty’ Brown (excavations).

The 1981 season saw Wyoming enter its first ever womens teams, following on from the establishment of the Central Coast Womens Soccer Association the previous year. Three teams, two Under 16 and one senior, donned the Club’s colours. Although specific details are not available the teams performed well for the Club’s first year of women’s soccer. Steve Frame and Glenn Pudsey coached the U16As to the grand final while Norm Woods took control of the U16Bs. Dawn Paterson and Lisa Van Dorp were notable players to play U16B. Both went on to represent their district and State while Lisa progressed to National honours. The Senior All-Age team was coached by Garry McLeod with the assistance of Jeff Fathers. The only known senior players are Robyn Brown, Cheryl Fathers, Sue Smith and Jenny Smith.

60 1982 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1982

iven the composition of the team, the demise of the ‘Pensioners’ was – at least in retrospect – inevitable. It came in 1982, when, for the first time in their eight years of competition, Gthe Wyoming First Grade team failed to make the semi-finals. After winning only four out of their 14 matches they finished in sixth place. A number of theories have been advanced to explain the sudden decline of Wyoming as a force in senior soccer, the most common being that they failed to introduce younger players into their ranks, and consequently when the established players left, as they did en masse in 1982, there was no-one available to take their place. Whilst this is undoubtedly valid to a certain extent, the truth was that the depth of junior talent within the club just wasn’t there. Too many of the outstanding young players were leaving the game in their mid-teens, and although a few were drifting back later on, until the arrival of the Jorg Breitkopf team in the early 1980s Wyoming did not have a strong side in the U16 to U19 age groups. With several notable exceptions the gap in ability between the young players, on the way up, and the ‘Pensioners’, on the way down, was just too great to justify the inclusion of the youngsters based purely upon their youth. The problem was accentuated by the formation in 1982 of the CCSA senior representative teams which that year competed in the Northern NSW First Division competition. Whilst the representative teams drew players away from all local clubs, Wyoming was particularly hard hit losing not only established First Graders such as Best, O’Toole, Lucas and Phillips, but also a

number of their rising stars such as Paul Douglass, Scott Bradley and Steve Frame who in normal circumstances would have been their natural replacements. Despite this, the 1982 U19 team were able to win their premiership, defeating minor premiers Woy Woy 4-2 in a memorable grand final at Woy Woy Oval. Their win was all the more remarkable because they actually finished the competition proper in 5th place, and only gained a semi-final spot when Umina lost points for playing an unregistered player. At half-time in the grand final Wyoming led 2-1 after two brilliant opportunist goals from Phil Robson. Midway through the second half Woy Woy equalised, and then straight from the kick off looked certain to score again. Somehow Wyoming cleared the ball from their goalmouth finding Glenn Pudsey who raced downfield, and from the edge of Woy Woy’s box struck home a sensational match-winning goal. Coached by senior player Col Menzies, the team included five players who had joined the Club in either 1970 or 1971 (Glenn Pudsey, Mark Porter, Bryan Bulley, Glenn Butcher and Phil Robson) as well as seven players who were still playing for Wyoming in 1989 (Porter, Robson, Mark Green, Brad Strachan, David Taylor, Steve Frame and Dave Talbot). In what was to be the last season of competition soccer in the Under 9 age group, Wyoming maintained its monopoly over the U9A premiership, taking the title for the fourth successive season, and so matching the efforts of the teams coached by Graham Smith (1979), Steve Field (1980) and Warren Anderson (1981). Coached by First Grade player Steve Csisz, the 1982 Under 9As took out the league champion/ premiership double. Into the second period of extra time in the grand final, the match was still scoreless when striker Simon Burgess latched onto a great pass from Craig Brann and slotted the ball into the corner of the net.

Warren Anderson’s 10As finished the season as undefeated premiers, knocking over Woy Woy in the major semi-final and then Terrigal in the grand final, both by the only goal in the respective matches. The victory gave them their fourth successive premiership – an outstanding record in any company. In the U11A competition Steve Field’s team played their usual full compliment of finals matches, reaching the grand final for the third year in a row, from the minor semi, but again falling frustratingly short of victory with a 2-1 loss. After finishing the competition proper as undefeated minor premiers Graham Smith’s Under 12As went straight into the grand final with a 2-0 victory over Killarney in the major semi-final. With the grand final being their third match in a row against the same team (they had thrashed them 3-0 in the last competition round), and with Wyoming going to an early 1-0 lead, the game looked like it could become a cakewalk. Instead it became quite the opposite as Killarney fought back to equalise early in the second half, and then to take the lead from a penalty shot. With the match slipping from their grasp, Mark Burgess equalised and the match went to one, and then another period of extra time. The decider finally came when Wyoming’s Mark Gallagher ran onto a loose ball and with a perfect shot sealed the team’s third premiership in four years. While all this action was going on at Fagan Park, out at East Gosford Arthur Burling’s U9D team, although league champions, were declared Joint Premiers after a scoreless grand final against Ourimbah. The same womens teams as 1981 contested the 1982 season with the only changes due to new players arriving and various players being regraded. Mark Brown took over from Garry McLean as coach of the senior team while Leonie Van Dorp coached the U16As and Norm Woods continued with the U16Bs. The U16As had a serious problem going into their finals matches with the Northern NSW Federation banning players who had been selected in the NNSW U15 team for the upcoming

National Titles from playing after a specific cut-off date. Consequently the entire local finals series had to be squeezed into a six-day period between Sunday afternoon and Friday night. With a number of key players unavailable, Wyoming were downed by Ocean Beach ‘A’ in the major semi- final, and so had to back up on the following Wednesday night in the Final against Killarney District at Baker Park. With the ends of the field waterlogged the match finished scoreless after two periods of extra-time. There were no penalty shootouts at that time so the match had to be replayed - but before Friday night! So the two teams met again on the Thursday night. Unfortunately more injuries further weakened the team and they went down 2-0 this time.The 1982 Presentation Day saw another five Ten Year Awards presented, the recipients being Chris Connor, Peter Paterson, Andrew Austin, Glenn Pudsey and Garry Marshall. Clubman of the Year was Publicity Officer, Steve Field, the first of three occasions on which he was to win the same award, whilst Mal Tarring won the Senior Player of the Year for the second time 1982.

66 1983 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1983

erhaps the most memorable season to date in the Club’s history – certainly the most successful. The consistent growth rate which had occurred, especially over the previous six Pyears, reached a new peak when 582 players registered to play in 41 teams, each one eleven-a- side. This would remain a record number until 1999. But the Wyoming Soccer Club of 1983 not only boasted quantity, but quality, winning a staggering nine premierships as well as both the Sterland Trophy (for the fifth straight year) and the Jack Atkins Award (for the first time). Whilst the Sterland Trophy is biased towards the largest club, the formula for determining the winner of the Atkins Award makes it extremely difficult for a large club to win, points being determined on average competition points per club. The competition rule governing drawn semi-final and final matches was changed in 1983. Instead of drawn matches being decided after extra time by a penalty shootout, the higher placed team was to advance to the next stage. Steve Csisz’s U10As saw both sides of the coin, being relegated to the final after a scoreless draw with minor premiers, The Entrance, in the major semi, but then progressing to the grand final after a one-all draw with Woy Woy. As has proven to be the case on so many occasions, the elements had a significant influence on grand final day, and 1983 was to be the day of the big breeze. Running into the wind in the first half the Wyoming U10As were unlucky to be one goal down at half time after the referee had allowed play to continue with goalkeeper Kyle Clarke injured on the ground in front of his goal. With 10 minutes to go and the score unchanged, Wyoming struck. Firstly the equaliser from Rod Martin

and then the winner from Simon Burgess only seconds from full time to give the team their second premiership in as many years. Arthur Burling’s U10C team finished as league champions before putting in their best performance of the season to defeat Gosford 3-1 in the major semi. For the second year in succession the grand final was played against Ourimbah, and once again the result was the same – joint premierships. Warren Anderson’s U11As were in awesome form during the 1983 final series. They won the saloon passage into the grand final with a 2-0 win over Terrigal, and then followed up with a 5-0 demolition job on Umina in one of the largest ‘A’ grade grand final wins on record. Their season’s effort of 18 wins, one loss and one draw, and a for and against recordof 85-7 won them the President’s Trophy for the fourth time in five years. One of Wyoming’s best junior coaches, Malcolm Moffat, signed up in 1983 as coach of that year’s U11C side. The team dominated the competition, losing only one match (in which they had only 9 players) on their way to the league champion/premiership double. Bob O’Toole’s U11Bs won their second premiership in three years, coming from third place and beating Terrigal 1-0 in the minor semi-final, and East Gosford 4-1 in the final. The grand final against unbeaten Budgewoi was a tense affair, won dramatically in the second period of extra time when a clearance from the Budgewoi defence rebounded into their own goal. The Wyoming team included a number of senior top grade players in Jarrod Mobberley, Luke O’Toole, Sam Henwood, Paul Ferguson and Greg Preston. Graham Smith’s U13As continued their great run reaching the grand final with a tight 2-1 victory over Kanwal in the major semi-final. The same teams met in the grand final where a first half goal to Wyoming, running into a strong wind, proved to be the decider In surely the most demanding end to any season, the Wyoming U16Bs needed to play over five hours of football in seven days to take out the club’s first premiership in that age group.

In line with the rule in force that season, the match had to be replayed with Wyoming winning the replay to make it through to the grand final against Southern-Ettalong United. Running into the gusty wind, Wyoming went to the half-time break down 2-0 but still well in contention. With the wind now favouring them they equalised with goals from Jason Schmidt and Kurt Jones. The first period of extra time saw Southern take a 3-2 lead before two goals to Dennis Freyer gave Wyoming a spine tingling 4-3 win and the premiership Womens soccer was growing strongly on the Central Coast in the early 1980s and for most of this period Wyoming was able to field three teams. The honour of being Wyoming’s first ever womens’ premiers went to the 1983 Womens Under 15 team, coached by Garry McLeod. At one stage the Wyoming First Grade team looked like having its most famous player when former Socceroo, Adrian Alston, agreed to take over as player/coach. Unfortunately the plan fell through when Alston, who had recently moved to the Central Coast, received an alternative offer and left the district. In his absence Kevin Best took over as coach of both First and Reserve Grade. First grade’s rapid decline continued, with the team winning just three matches all season and narrowly missing relegation, finishing in second-last place. The Wyoming Reserve Grade team fared better, finishing in fourth place with nine wins from 18 matches. Unfortunately they fell victim to a rule which awarded drawn semi-final matches to the team with the higher league position, meaning that fourth-placed Wyoming was eliminated following a 2-2 draw with third-placed East Gosford. The season’s most popular premiership victory was by Norm Woods’ Third Grade team. After winning the league championship they progressed to the Gavenlock Oval grand final with a 1-0 win over East Gosford at Baker Park. In a fluctuating grand final the game was decided in the dying minutes by a sensational overhead goal by Forty Verduci.

Not surprisingly Andrew Clark was the U9A2 Player of the Year. Glen Stewart, widely considered to be Wyoming’s best-ever goalkeeper took out the 1983 Senior Player of the Year award. Stewart, a product of the strong Bankstown competition, played six seasons for Wyoming between 1979 and 1984. Although not tall by goalkeeper standards he was extremely agile with the ability to push certain goals around his posts. Never afraid to leave his goals he had that aggressive streak which gives top players the extra competitive edge over their opponents. The 1983 Junior Presentation Day saw the introduction of a new major award. The Junior Player of the Year was to be given to the Player of the Year in the club’s oldest, highest-graded junior team.The honour of being the inaugural winner went to Stephen Hall from the club’s 1983 U16B team.

72 1984 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1984

fter its nine-premiership success of 1983 the Club came down to earth somewhat in 1984, with only two teams being successful. A The big upset of the season came in the U12A grand final with the defeat of Warren Anderson’s team. Together since 1978 they had dominated their progressive age groups, losing only five out of 138 premiership matches during the seven years in which they were together. In that time they scored a total of 444 goals while conceding only 45. They won the U7, U8, U10 and U11 premierships and were joint premiers in the U9s. In addition the Wyoming players formed the nucleus of the Central Coast representative teams during this period. In 1983 and 1984 seven of the boys, John Goodman, Jason Bush, Paul Moriarty, John Bailey, Scott Salter, Daryl Jones and Paul Smithson, as well as coach Anderson and manager Louise Bush, were backing up for representative duties each Sunday. In 1983 they took out the U11 Northern NSW State Title at Grafton, and again in 1985 as U13s. The Club U12A team lost only one match during 1984, but unfortunately it was the one that mattered. After winning the major semi-final by two goals to one they were defeated by the same score in the grand final at Fagan Park. Perhaps they had reached saturation point as far as the game was concerned because very few went on to play the game at senior level. One was John Bailey, who made his First Grade debut in 1990 and scored the match-winning goal in the 1993 Reserve Grade grand final. Daryl Jones, after concentrating on representative soccer for several years, returned in 1989, and Mark Lange went on to play in the Ourimbah First Grade team. Wyoming’s other dominant side of the era, Graham Smith’s U14As, restored the Club’s prestige with their fourth successive premiership and their fifth in six years. Like the Anderson team a number of players (Kevin Bush, Darren Goulding and Darren Rutherford) played representative football, although the attrition rate from the team was not as severe with Matthew Robson, Stephen Smith, Phil Cartner and Kevin Bush all progessing to the Club’s senior ranks.

The other premiership-winning team was Warren Snashall’s U10B team. Finishing in third place, five points behind minor premiers Budgewoi, they accounted for Terrigal in the minor semi- final, with Adam Mackett scoring the match’s only goal. The final, or rather finals, against Gosford could not have been closer. At one-all after two periods of extra time the match went to a shootout, won in the ‘sudden-death’ phase by Gosford. However the referee had permitted the same players to lead the sudden-death stage and, after Wyoming’s protest was upheld, the match was replayed. Once again the teams could not be separated and the replay also went to a penalty shootout. This time, with goalkeeper Andrew Sainsbury making some brilliant saves, Wyoming finally prevailed and earned a thoroughly deserved grand final berth. The decider was against the unbeaten Budgewoi team and Wyoming took the lead early from a Keiron Chambers free kick, before Budgewoi broke away and equalised. Despite this setback Wyoming fought on into the second half, eventually being rewarded with a match winning goal from Troy Cocks. In the Club’s Annual Under 7 Gala Day, Wyoming had one of its relatively rare successes in the competition when Steve Field’s U7A team downed arch-rivals Kanwal 1-0 in a tense ‘A’ Division final, the winning goal coming from the penalty spot and converted by the team’s 1985 Player of the Year, Justin Anders. With the First Grade team again languishing near the bottom of the competition ladder it was left to the Reserve Graders to salvage some prestige for the club. Under new coach, Tony Kayes, the team comprised a mixture of youth and experience; players like Mal Tarring and Kevin Best blending with the emerging and talented new senior players –Bryan Bulley, Phil Robson, Dave Talbot, Stephen Van Dorp and David Taylor. The team finished the competition rounds as minor premiers, but were defeated 1-0 by Umina in the major semi-final. They won a grand final spot with a win in the final, and after two periods of extra time were declared joint premiers with Umina. It was to be Wyoming’s last senior premiership for a decade.

A local junior who had played most of his soccer at East Gosford and Wyoming, Barry Tuddenham, was the 1984 Senior Player of the Year. Fit and rugged he was an ideal defensive or midfield player, and although physiotherapy studies severely restricted his soccer time, when on the field he always gave 100 per cent and would fit into any coach’s plans.

HIGH ACHIEVERS NATHAN HEALEY played for Wyoming for six seasons, starting in Under 6s in 1986 and finishing up in the 11A team of 1991. He was a member of the club’s 10A premiership-winning team coached by John Bailey. However tennis was to become Nathan’s No 1 sport and early in his junior career he teamed up with Lleyton Hewitt with whom he was a doubles partner for a number of years. He turned professional in 1998 and although he was a doubles specialist (with a world ranking of 59 in 2003) he did reach the third round of both the Australian Open and Wimbledon singles titles in 2006, going down to Nikolay Davydenko in the Australian Open. Nathan also represented Australia in the 2007 Hopman Cup, teaming with Alicia Molik to win the mixed doubles match against the USA. In September 2009 Nathan replaced Tony Roche as the coach of Lleyton Hewitt.

HIGH ACHIEVERS

ANDREW SAINSBURY played for Wyoming for five seasons between 1981 and 1985, winning premierships in each of his last two seasons with the 1984 U10Bs and 1985 U11Bs. He began playing senior cricket in 1988 at the age of 14 with the Narara-Wyoming club and by the age of 17 was in the club’s First Grade team. The following season Andrew won a place in the NSW Country team and in 1994 he moved to Sydney where in just his second match he opened the batting for Northern Districts with Mark Taylor against a strong Bankstown team that included Steve and Mark Waugh. Consistent scores saw him selected in the NSW Sheffield Shield team, where he top-scored with 72 on debut against Queensland at Manuka Oval. He played a total of four matches for NSW at the SCG and MCG. A prolific scorer in Sydney grade cricket he captained the NDCC First Grade team for a number of years and retired after the 2007/08 season with the record for the most number of centuries for the club.

78 1985 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1985

n a disappointing end to the season 14 out of 23 competition teams qualified for the semi-finals, but only three junior teams were able to win premierships, one of which was a joint premiership. IIn the senior competition, despite a dramatic improvement by the lower grades, the club was set to be relegated from Premier League after First Grade finished in last place. However, shortly after the end of the season came the news that the Davistown club had disbanded giving Wyoming a last minute reprieve. In the junior divisions there was no U15 competition in 1985, and consequently Graham Smith’s team were forced to make the jump to the U16s with the consequent problem of playing against many teams in their second season in that grade. Although they failed to win the premiership the team put up an outstanding effort to finish in second place. In the major semi against Umina the match finished 1-1 after extra time, and went to a penalty shootout – won 5-4 by Umina. A week later the Final against old sparring partners, Killarney, was played in atrocious weather conditions and the odd goal was always likely to be the decider. So it proved to be, but unfortunately that goal was scored by Killarney and Wyoming’s remarkable run of four straight premierships came to an end. At the end of season Presentation Day, Graham Smith joined Jorg Breitkopf as the only recipients of Ten Year Coaching Awards, joining the four members of his team who received similar playing awards: Mark Burgess, Chris Krogh, Stephen Smith and David Lyons. Eddie Mason’s U10As were Wyoming’s first premiers of 1985. After finishing the competition proper in 2nd place, they bounced back from a 2-0 loss to The Entrance in the major semi-final to

defeat Wyong 2-1 in the Final. The Entrance had beaten Wyoming in each of their encounters that year and were red hot favourites for the 1985 title, to be decided that year at Umina Oval. In driving rain, their odds firmed even further when they snatched an early 1-0 lead. To their great credit the Wyoming boys lifted their game and were rewarded with an equaliser from Dan Cunningham three minutes from full time. The game went into a first period of extra time and, with the score still locked at 1-1 after ten minutes, on to a second period of extra time. Then with only two minutes remaining John Carlaw scored for Wyoming to pull off the biggest upset of the day, and the Club’s only ‘A’ grade success of the season. Carlaw later turned to rugby league playing First Grade for both Newcastle and Melbourne. In ‘B’ Grade Ken Morgan’s U11B team trod a similar path to the Under 10As, beaten in the major semi, and entering the grand final with a 2-0 win over Kincumber in the final. The grand final was against minor premiers, Umina, on their home ground and Wyoming took the lead late in the first half with a headed goal from Troy Cocks. The team defended dourly from there and held Umina out for a fine win. The Club’s strength in the U11 age group was emphasised when John Hughes’ U11C1 team were joint premiers in their division, losing only one match throughout the year, a 3-1 defeat in the major semi-final. Indeed the strength of the competition was also strong – one of their opponents in the PMK team that they drew with in the grand final was Andrew Clark, himself a Wyoming player from Under 6s in 1980 through to Under 9A2 in 1983. Clark would go on to a long career as a professional footballer, including spells at NSL clubs Canberra Cosmos, Parramatta Power and the Kedah club in Malaysia, then culminating with a five-year period with the Central Coast Mariners in the A-League competition. In the senior lower grades, three of the four teams reached the semi-finals. The Under 18s, coached by Tommy Walsh, were defeated 1-0 by Budgewoi in extra time of their final, whilst Dino Lepore’s Third Grade team had a disappointing end to the season losing 1-0 to Umina in the major semi, and then 2-0 to Southern-Ettalong in the final.

In Reserve Grade, coach Pat Ryan saw his side bow out in the worst possible way - beaten 6-5 in a penalty shootout after two periods of extra time. Wyoming’s 1985 Senior Player of the Year was Craig Matuschka. An East Gosford junior, Craig came to Wyoming in 1983 where he played Under 19s. He moved quickly through the senior grades, winning the 1985 Senior Player award and, at only 20 years of age, captaining the First Grade team in 1986. A quality player who read the game extremely well, Craig was an attacking fullback with the knack of moving forward to score crucial goals. In 1988 he was selected in the Gosford team which played in the Inter-District Challenge against Wyong.

PLUIM PARK The new home of football on the Central Coast, Pluim Park, had been a long-term goal of CCSA for many years and the project got under way in early 1983 with the purchase of the 17- acre site at Lisarow. Funding came from a combination of a bank loan, covered by a $3 levy added to all player registration fees as well as several State and Federal Government grants. The park was named after one of the members of the project’s Steering Committee, a highly- respected local businessman and football enthusiast, Bill Pluim, who had died suddenly in January 1985. Wyoming Soccer Club was one of the Central Coast clubs that participated in a March Past to celebrate the opening of the park on 22 February 1987. The opening day events also included an Inter-District Challenge match between Gosford City and Wyong Shire with teams selected from the First Grade teams in each Council area, then the official opening by local Federal MP, Barry Cohen, the day concluding with a game between Sydney City and Newcastle NSL teams.

or the four senior Wyoming teams it was another season of hard graft with little to show for it. With promotion and relegation between the Premier League and First Division being Fdecided by the final position in First Grade, most of the second round of the competition was taken up with Wyoming fighting to ward off relegation. Back as First Grade coach was club stalwart Eric Marshall, who had coached a number Wyoming teams, both senior and junior, since the early 1970s. Leading the way on the field were an old warrior and a young tyro. Kevin Best, at the age of 38 and in his last season, won the club’s Senior Player of the Year Award for the second time (he had won it previously in 1975), whilst 16-year-old Greg Pryor, in his first season in senior soccer, established himself as one of the Coast’s most promising young players, scoring twice in the final match of the season to ensure that the club stayed in Premier League. Junior grand final day at Fagan Park was to be a long and frustrating one for the Club. Because of school holidays the Association decided that the grand finals should be deferred until after the break. The decision meant that the major semi Final winning teams, and Wyoming had four such teams, would have a three week gap between matches - hardly the ideal preparation for such important games. The U10C1s, coached by Dave Fortune, had finished as league champions and earned the first grand final spot with a 2-1 win over Toukley in the major semi-final. In the decider, against East Gosford, neither team could score after a total of 70 minutes and the teams shared the premiership. The next three teams, Malcolm Moffat’s U10As, Kevin Best’s U12As, and Wally Cocksedge’s U12Cs all lost - the latter by the rather convincing margin of 8-0. The second league champions were the U14As and they cruised through the major semi with a 5-0 win over Kanwal.

The joint premiership was a just reward for coach Bob O’Toole who had taken his team from the U9C1s of 1980, through ‘B’ grade in 1981 and 1982, to be the Club’s second string ‘A’ team in 1983 (coached that year by John Mobberley) and as the sole ‘A’ team, and third place, in 1985. Interestingly enough, and in contrast to the disintegration which hit the successful Warren Anderson team in the same age groups, most of the 1986 U14As have stayed in the game. Six of the players (John Bailey - the sole survivor from the Anderson team, Jarrod Mobberley, Luke O’Toole, Paul Ferguson, Kevin Flanagan and Sam Henwood) all progressed to senior teams. The U16A grand final was effectively the end of the road for the bulk of the outstanding Graham Smith team, coached this time by Steve Shoobert. The pattern of major semi-final winners suffering from the 3-week layoff continued and Southern/Ettalong, beaten 3-0 in that match, held out for a 2-2 draw and a share of the premiership. In the non-competition age groups three teams stood out, two of them coached by Steve Field. The U6,1 team played and won all 18 matches and had a goal difference of 113-2. In search of competition they were entered in the Wyoming U7 Gala Day where they managed to reach the ‘A’ grade semi- finals. Steve’s other team, the U9A1s, won 15 of their 16 The end of an era as Kevin Best is matches and scored 55 goals to only 2 against. chaired off by senior players Warren Barry Singh coached the U7.1 team and they won all 17 Malcolm and Mark Porter after his of their matches, scoring 60 goals to 4. final First Grade game for Wyoming. 1986 saw a special award named the Soccer Person of the Year awarded to Lisa Van Dorp. The outstanding female soccer player on the Central Coast Lisa first played at the age of nine for the Woy Woy club, before transferring to Wyoming when they first fielded a women’s team in 1981. By 1983, then aged only 13, she was playing in the senior competition, and in 1985 was selected in the U15 Australian Talent Identification Squad. The Central Coast entered a team in the Women’s Soccer League in 1988, a move which together with her continuing selection in the U19 national team meant that she was no longer able to play for the Wyoming Club.

TIGER TRIVIA Is this Wyoming’s best-ever team? Between 1978, when they played in the U6A competition, and 1984, when they were in the U12As, the junior team coached by Warren Anderson won the league championship for six years in succession (1979-1984) and the league championship/premiership double for five straight years (1979-1983) before being U12A runners-up in 1984. During this period they played 138 matches for 111 wins, 22 draws and five losses. They scored 444 goals and conceded 45.

Seven players from that team won six league championship and five premiership medallions in a row. They were Darryl Jones, Jason Bush, John Bailey, Mark Lucas, Paul Moriarty, Steven Cottle and Wayne Gregory. Only one of these players, John Bailey, would go on to play long- term Premier League football for Wyoming.

he senior club’s dismal run continued with First Grade making their by now customary late surge to avoid relegation. The three lower grade teams (Reserve Grade, Third Grade and TSecond Division) performed only marginally better, each finishing in eighth place in the respective competitions. In the junior competition, despite having no league champions, Wyoming won three premierships - in the U10D, U11A and U11B age groups. The Under 10Ds path to the title was by far the most difficult. Ourimbah were league champions with Steve Denham’s Wyoming team in second place and so the two teams met in the major semi- final. After two periods of extra time there was still no score and the match went to a penalty shootout. Ourimbah won the shootout but it was later determined that it had been run incorrectly and the Association ordered the match to be replayed on the following Tuesday. The re-match was won 2-0 by Wyoming, with goals by Mark Bohringer and Kristian Lee. The unfortunate Ourimbah team subsequently lost the final to Killarney District and thus were eliminated. Wyoming then went on to defeat Killarney 1-0 with Mark Bohringer again the goal scorer. Malcolm Moffat’s U11As also finished the competition proper in second place, behind The Entrance. In their semi-final encounter a high chip shot late in the second half won the match for The Entrance. The final against Southern/Ettalong was another tight match, won with a penalty in extra time. One minute into the grand final Wyoming led 1-0 from a Bradley Kirk corner which Stuart Fortier headed into the net. Midway through the first half The Entrance equalised, before a second half goal from Scott James clinched the match and the premiership for Wyoming. Geoff Paull established himself as the only Wyoming coach to achieve a 100 pre cent record when he took his

team to the U11B premiership. It was to be Geoff’s one and only season as a soccer coach - but what a season it was! The team finished in fourth place with eight wins, five losses and three draws - hardly an indication of what was to come. In the major semi they played Woy Woy, a team which had defeated them 3-0 only a few weeks earlier. In the first of three major form reversals Wyoming won the match 1-0, the winning goal coming from substitute Thomas McNally. On to the final against East Gosford, 3-1 winners of their previous match in the last round of the competition. Again Wyoming turned the tables, again by the odd goal, scored this time by Troy Fowler in the last seconds of the match. The grand final against The Entrance once more was decided by the odd goal, and again it was Troy Fowler who scored, seven minutes into the second half. Although The Entrance fought back the Wyoming defence held with the full time whistle marking one of the most remarkable of Wyoming’s 59 premierships. In a major upset the Wyoming All-Age Ladies team took out their first premiership, defeating the odds on favourites, Ocean Beach 3-1 on a stormy afternoon at Fagan Park. Four girls from the Wyoming ladies team, Lisa Van Dorp, Karin Wilkinson, Diane Fathers and Michele Davidson, were selected in the Northern NSW U18 team which won the Australian Championships at Brisbane in July. At the completion of the Championships Lisa and Karin were again selected in the Australian Youth Squad. Dave Talbot was the 1987 Senior Player of the Year. The first Wyoming junior to win the award, ‘Talbie’ first played for Wyoming in the U11B team of 1975. Generally playing left midfield he was a member of the club’s successful Under 19 team of 1982, and progressed to the senior ranks the following year being the only player to play in every one of First Grade’s 23 matches. A 100% trier he played in the 1984 Reserve Grade team which were joint premiers and from 1985 onwards was again a permanent First Grader. A talented cricketer Dave was the First Grade wicketkeeper with the Sydney Northern Districts club for a number of years. The other major club award winners for the season were Club secretary Marlene Bailey, who was voted Clubman of the Year, and U15A player, John Bailey who won the Junior Player of the Year Award. The most notable individual achievement however came at the Association Presentation Night when Greg Pryor capped an outstanding season by winning the Central Coast Player of the Year, and so joining the 1977 winner Dan Wilkinson as Wyoming’s only winners of the award.

92 1988 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1988

ne of the more unusual statistics to emerge from an analysis of Wyoming’s results over the period from 1970 to 1990 is that the Club has been very successful in the U10 and U11 Oage divisions, winning 21 premierships, yet in the older age groups, between U12 and U16, they have won only six. The contrast is even more marked when comparing the U11s (12 premierships) and the U12s and 13s, where Graham Smith’s team of 1982/83 has been Wyoming’s only success. This in spite of the U12As having reached the semi-finals on a total of 16 occasions. In 1988 Wyoming scooped the pool by winning all three of the U11 competitions - the Club’s only successes for that year. Also, for only the second occasion in their history Wyoming won both the Sterland and Jack Atkins Trophies. Before the start of the season the date for age qualifications was altered from October 1st to August 1st. Consequently the composition of a number of junior teams changed where boys chose to remain in the same age divisions as they had played in the previous season. Leading the way was Steve Field’s U11A team, a combination which had basically been together since they began as the U6A1s of 1983. In 1988 the team was bolstered by three players from Malcolm Moffat’s successful 1987 team who opted to remain in U11s with the qualifying date change. Wyoming finished as league champions despite not having beaten the second- placed Southern/ Ettalong team, a hoodoo which continued when Southern won the major semi-final 2-1, thus taking the first grand final spot. In the final Wyoming were up against Berkeley Vale, a team which had given them no trouble during the competition. Again the form guide proved to be accurate, Wyoming having a comfortable 4-0 victory. Wyoming had a dream start in the grand final when Craig Herring scored early in the first half. For a team which, at the time, boasted the best defensive record of any in the Club’s history (they were conceding, on average, less than one goal every three matches) such a lead was decisive, and when substitutes Grant Bailey and Mark Drennan combined for the second goal late in the second half the match was wrapped up. The win, Wyoming’s only ‘A’ grade premiership of the season, overcame any doubts which president Steve Field may have had in deciding which team should receive the President’s Trophy.

Front Row: Thor Aaso, David Derrick, Brett Bacon, Sven Aaso, Brear Carmody, Luke Meany, Adam Reynolds. The strength of the club’s 10 and 11-year-olds was illustrated both by the performance and the composition of Garry Buchanan’s U11B premier team. Of the 13 players in the team, 10 had, or would, play ‘A’ grade whilst three, Dean Stingmore, Simon Bacon and Brett Bacon, would eventually go on to play representative soccer. The team went into the grand final as undefeated league champions after winning their major semi-final in a penalty shootout. As it should be, the grand final against Woy Woy was the toughest match of the season, and was won in extra time when Sven Aaso (one member of two sets of twins in the team) scored. In the U11C competition Wyoming, coached by Ian Kitching, finished in second place behind Killarney District. After trailing 0-2 in the major semi they fought back manfully to equalise at 2-2 only to let in a goal in extra time. It was destined to be the last goal conceded in 1988. They defeated East Gosford 3-0, before taking revenge on Killarney with a 1-0 grand final victory. The U13A competition was a two horse race between John Hughes’s Wyoming team and a fine team from The Entrance. Each team finished on 32 points, a massive 15 points ahead of the third placed team, but The Entrance won the league championship on goal difference in controversial circumstances, after receiving two points for a bye in a washed out round, when Wyoming were forced to share the points in a match which they would almost certainly have won. In the end The Entrance proved themselves to be worthy premiers with wins in both the major semi-final (2-1) and in the grand final (2-0) but it was a disappointing for the Wyoming boys to have the league championship taken from them in such a manner. Also runners-up were Reagan Coates’s U10D team who defeated Terrigal 3-2 in extra time of their major semi-final, before being beaten in the last two minutes of a tense grand final by the no.1 Ourimbah team who somehow managed to get themselves into the ‘D’ grade competition. Another successful junior team was the Ken Butt/George Zygnerski, U7 Kookaburras who, although ungraded, managed to win all 15 of their matches, scoring 66 goals to 7. On the senior scene the highlight of the season was the steady stream of ex-junior players who were successfully making the transition into the senior teams. Leading the way were Phil Cartner and Connel Field who were both permanent First Graders through most of the season, with Connel being named as both the club and the district Rookie of the Year. 94 1988 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

Although they again finished in the bottom half of the competition, First Grade were a competitive force especially in the second half of the competition. Midway through the season they had only 5 points from 10 matches, and relegation again looked imminent, however, with a settled side, led by tyro skipper Greg Pryor, they managed to pick up 10 points from their last 8 matches to climb off the bottom of ladder, losing only to the strong peninsula clubs, Southern/Ettalong and Umina. Best performed of the senior teams was Reserve Grade, coached by Jim Ryrie, who finished in second place before an untimely form slump saw to successive losses to Swansea (0-3) and Terrigal (0-1) in the finals. The major club awards went to Craig Matuschka, who became the fourth player to win two Senior Player of the Year awards; vice president Garry Smith, who was Clubman of the Year; Luke O’Toole was the Junior Player of the Year; whilst Sue Moffitt became Wyoming’s first winner of the CCWSA Senior Player of the Year award.

1989

he season ended with two weekends of semi-final and final soccer in which virtually everything went right for Wyoming teams, followed by one weekend - unfortunately the one that mattered T- when everything that could go wrong did. The end result was no Lague Championships, nine grand finalists, yet only one joint premiership. The joint premiership shared by Wyoming and Wyong in the U14A competition was probably a fair result, the two teams having finished on equal points at the top of the ladder (Wyong were league champions with a slightly better goal difference). In a tense major semi-final Wyong led 1-0 with Wyoming equalising only minutes from full-time. After one period of extra time the score remained 1-1 but then Wyoming exploded to a 4-1 lead before conceding a late penalty. The final score: Wyoming 4 Wyong 2. As expected Wyong won the final and the two favourites met again in the grand final. This time Wyoming took the early lead with a goal from Gavin Singh. Shortly after Wyong equalised and that was the end of the scoring for the match with the premiership being shared. The long awaited senior resurgence which had begun when Reserve Grade reached the 1988 final gathered pace in 1989 with both Reserve Grade and Third Grade reaching their respective grand finals. The Reserve Grade team was coached by former CCSA State League coach George Cousins, whose experience was to prove invaluable during the finals series. Pat Ryan, Reserve Grade coach from 1985 to 1987, was back as coach of the Third Grade side.

Both teams were matched against Wyong in their minor semi-finals, with Wyoming defeating the northerners in both matches: 2-0 in Third Grade and 2-1 in Reserve Grade. The Third Grade team had a familiar bearded face in their defensive line - Kevin Best stepped into the breach mid- season when injuries and the 9am Sunday start had left the team struggling to field 11 players. Third grade had a titanic struggle in their final against Umina. With a 2-2 scoreline after two periods of extra time the match went to the penalty spot. The shootout began badly for Wyoming with their first shot going over the bar, however it was two of the team’s youngsters who helped them recover. With the penalties at 4-4 and into the sudden death phase, 16-year-old ‘keeper Stephen George made a great save, leaving 17-year-old Paul Ferguson with the pressure of the next shot. A penalty specialist from his junior days, Ferguson gave the Umina goalie no chance and thirds were through to only their second ever grand final - Wyoming’s first senior grand finalists since 1984. Reserve grade had a more comfortable time beating old rivals Southern/Ettalong 2-0 in their final. The Third Grade grand final against Southern-Ettalong United once again went to extra time but the luck which had dogged the junior teams on the previous day continued and Southern won the match 3-2. On the main field, Reserve Grade made a disastrous start in their grand final against The Entrance conceding an own goal early in the first half. Against a team who had conceded only 8 goals in 19 matches the goal proved critical and despite a late rally from Wyoming, The Entrance won the match 2-0. The U10As put up a remarkable effort, coming from fourth place to reach the grand final. In what coach Bob O’Toole described as the best exhibition of soccer he had ever seen from an U10 team in any standard of football, Wyoming thrashed third placed Umina by four goals to nil in the minor semi-final. Despite conceding a goal in the first minute of the final they advanced to the grand final with a courageous 2-1 win over Budgewoi. Like the senior Reserve Grade team, they began the grand final in the worst possible way with an own goal in the opening minutes and from there things got steadily worse until with 10 minutes remaining they trailed Killarney 3-0. Only then did the boys begin to play soccer the way they could and once again they came back with two goals. Unfortunately the fairy tale ending wasn’t to be, and the full-time whistle cut short their comeback, leaving them with runners-up pockets. Although the U11As failed to reach the semi-finals the two ‘C’ division teams did. The U11C1s, coached by Reagan Coates, had the disappointment of being Runners Up for the second year in a row, after losing the 1988 U10D grand final. After a brilliant 5-1 win over Southern-Ettalong in the final, they went down 1-0 to the undefeated Gosford side. The U12A team, with Steve Frame having taken over from Steve Field as coach, narrowly failed to defend their 1988 U11A premiership when they went down 1-0 to Ourimbah in their grand final. Pat Ryan’s U13B2 team had a memorable season. Many of the players had been members of Dave Fortune’s 1986 U10C1 team and so didn’t lack big match experience. Their effort to reach the grand final was truly remarkable. On paper at least they were the number three Wyoming team in their age group, yet they were competing against the best U13 teams from all other clubs as well as the number two Wyoming team. The minor semi at Fagan Park was a thrillingly fluctuating match won 4-3 by Wyoming in a penalty shootout and the final 1-0, again from the penalty spot. In the grand final against a dominant and physical Budgewoi team Wyoming shocked the league champions when they led 1-0 and 2-1 after goals from Daniel Morrison and Trevor Fortune, but the dream ended there with Budgewoi coming back strongly to eventually win 5-2. Wyoming’s day of woe continued with the U15A grand final. After seeing five teams lose and one draw, Warren Snashall’s team lost by 2-0 against Toukley. The team’s major individual award, and consequently the 1989 Junior Player of the Year, went to Adam Mackett. The Senior Player of the Year was 17-year-old Connel Field, only the second Wyoming junior to win the award, and still in 2010, the youngest ever winner. Although relatively small in stature his excellent technical ability and determination more than compensated. His award was all the more meritorious because of his willingness to play out of position in the critical role of sweeper.

1990

lthough the statistics suggest that the Wyoming Soccer Club 21st season was only moderately successful (one premiership and two joint premierships) it was neverthesless another with Aplenty of highlights and with good signs for the future. Wyoming fielded a total of 40 teams, six in the senior grades and 34 juniors, of which 14 were in the U10 to U17 competition age groups. Once again the club had teams in all seven junior ‘A’ grade competitions with five qualifying for the semi-finals. For the twelfth straight year the Club won the Sterland Trophy for the Junior Club Championship. The method of allocating points to determine the award biased it heavily in favour of the larger junior clubs and demographic changes around the Central Coast meant that Wyoming, while continuing to grow, was not doing so at the same pace as other clubs and 1990 would prove to be the last occasion, as at 2010, that the Club would win this important Trophy. The First Grade team, now coached by George Cousins, underwent a major transformation, getting a real international flavour. They newcomers included a new goalkeeper named Greg Preston (not to be confused with his teammate of the same name), New Zealanders Glenn Patterson and Lance Tropman, together with two Europeans on working holidays Hendrick Jensen and Ken Justensen, striker Brad Horrell, defender Brad Dunn. In their first premiership match of the season Wyoming defeated Ourimbah 6-0, and shortly after sprung the upset of the season defeating the strong Southern-Ettalong United team 5-0 in the first round of the Tooheys (Association) Cup. Despite its long period of domination in the 1970s and early 1980s Wyoming hadn’t been able to win the Cup - indeed in 2010 it remains the only significant trophy that the club has never won. Having said that, the 1990 team went closer than any team before or since, reaching the Final and holding favourites Umina to nil-all at full-time. Unfortunately the fact that they’d played their semi-final just two days earlier told in extra-time and Umina ran out 2-0 winners after extra-time.

The highlight of the senior season however was the winning of the Northern NSW State Amateur Cup. It was the third occasion that Wyoming had won the Cup having done so in 1976 and 1981. The winners cheque for $1000 was, in fact, the first prize money ever won by a Wyoming team On the same long weekend Bob O’Toole’s Under 11A team travelled to Gunnedah where they competed against teams from arounf NSW. Playing in the Under 12 competition they went through the competition undefeated, downing the local representative team, who hadn’t lost a match in three years, by four goals to nil. Back in the local competition, the team, which had done so well to come from fourth place to narrowly miss out on the 1989 U10A premiership, finished the U11A competition in second place behind Budgewoi but were then beaten 2-1 by that team in the major semi-final. A win in the Final gave them another chance at the title which they ended up sharing. The Club’s only full premiership for 1990 was won by its youngest team, the Under 10As, coached by Club stalwart and rookie senior player, John Bailey. After the usual early season round- robin to determine grading, the team won five and drew six of their 14 matches to finish in second place, three points behind champions Umina. Steadily growing in confidence they then went on to defeat the league champions 1-0 in the major semi-final before taking out the grand final 2-0 over third-placed Killarney District. With a large injury toll coach Bailey was forced to call on several players from the Under 9s incuding two, Shane Butt and Stephen Davis who would eventualy join regular player Simon Ainsley in the club’s Premier League squad a decade later. In his second season as coach, Steve Frame and his Under 13As had the bittersweet experience of again being runners-up after going down 1-0 in the 1989 U12 grand final. This time around they missed out on the league championship by a single point but, as they had done the previous year, they went straight to the decider with a 3-2 penalty shootout win this time against Gosford City. Sadly though, history repeated and they were again defeated 1-0, by Southern-Ettalong who came from third place to claim the title. 102 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

Another side that had performed consistently year by year was the Under 15A team, coached in previous years by John Hughes, but with Richard Pagden taking over for this and the two following seasons with most of the players destined to play Premier League football for many years. With 14 wins and two draws from their 18 matches they took out the league championship with a four- point margin over Wyong. The positions were reversed in the major semi-final with Wyong gaining the first grand final spot with a 1-0 win. A 3-2 win to Wyoming in the final meant that the two teams met again in the decider but this time they couldn’t be separated after extra-time in a scoreless draw.

In the Under 14A competition, with coach Malcolm Moffat returning as coach for the first time since 1988, Wyoming finished in third place but bowed out with a 2-0 loss in the minor semi-final. The only other successful junior team was the Under 12C1 team, coached by Reagan Coates. After finishing second in the league ladder behind Kanwal they were beaten twice by that team, 2-0 in the major semi-final and 3-0 in the grand final. Only two of the six senior teams were able to qualify for semi-finals, although both did reach their respective grand finals only to lose in both matches. The 1990 Womens All-Age team was again coached and managed by Jeff and Norm Fathers with Jeff returning to the coaching role that he had occupied between 1983 and 1987, and Norm, who had coached for the two previous seasons, managing the team, as he had done throughout the period that Jeff had coached. After a rain-disrupted season Wyoming finished in third place behind league champions, Budgewoi and the Ocean Beach No 1 teams. They easily defeated the second Ocean Beach team 5- 1 in the minor semi-final highlighted by a hat-trick to Cheryl Fathers. The Final was against Ocean Beach 1 and was another of the tight encounters that the two teams had been involved in through the competition rounds. After going behind early Wyoming countered to score twice through Sue Moffit and take a 2-1 lead to the break. A penalty then allowed Ocean Beach to equalise. Then, with just four minutes left on the clock, a third goal to Player of the Match, Moffit sealed the win for Wyoming. The grand final was the first for the Wyoming senior team since 1987. The Budgewoi team were hot favourites and despite fighting back from an early 2-0 deficit to be down 3-2 early in the second half Wyoming were eventually swamped by the more experienced northerners who ran out 6-2 winners. The other senior grand finalists were the first of the club’s two Second Division teams, both of which were coached by Duncan McCubbin. After a poor start to the season the team improved steadily to eventually take first place in ‘B’ Grade after the competition was split mid-season with four wins and a draw from their final five matches.After going down 1-0 to Berkeley Vale in the major semi-final, they won through to the grand final with a 2-0 win over Killarney District before again losing to Berkeley Vale, this time 2-0, in the decider.

TIGER TRIVIA

Between 1975 and 1979 Col Sinclair was a member of five successive senior premiership-winning teams, for First Grade in 1975 and 1976; Reserve Grade in 1977, and again in First Grade in 1978 and 1979. He only played in four straight winning grand finals (1975 was decided on a first-past-the-post basis), a record he shares with Premier League goalkeeper Scott Bromfield who played in Reserve Grade’s hat-tricks of grand final wins between 2006 and 2008, and then in First Grade’s 2009 win.

106 1991 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1991

lthough Wyoming’s junior teams had been consistently strong for a number of years, the First Grade team had gone through a long barren period since the break-up of the A‘Pensioners’ team in the early 1980s. Indeed they hadn’t played a semi-final match since the 1981 season. By contrast the club’s junior strength was again evident with Wyoming teams having teams in all ‘A’ grade competitions, six of which reached the semi-finals and with five playing in grand finals. Indeed on the Saturday of the junior ‘A’ grade grand finals the U11A, U12A, U13A and U14A teams all played one after the other on the main field at Pluim Park. In a hopeful sign the First Grade team, coached again by George Cousins, finished in fourth place – the first time that they had reached the semi-finals since 1981. One of the highlights of the 1991 season was a visit from the Edogawi Kasi club from Gosford’s Japanese sister city, Edogawa. The day was arranged as part of a cultural exchange program by Gosford City Council in conjunction with CCSA and featured three matches between the two club’s U12, U13 and U14 teams. The day started well for Wyoming with a 2-1 win in the Under 12 match but then went downhill with big wins to Edogawa in the other two matches. Nevertheless it was a memorable day for the club and gave the 75 children involved a greater appreciation of the

August 1991 saw the Wyoming Soccer Club host three teams from the Edogawa Kasi club from Japan. Three matches were played including one between U14 teams from each club. Despite having dominated the local competition the Wyoming team, coached by Steve Frame, was given a double-figures thrashing by the visitors. The loss didn’t affect their confidence and they were unbeaten for the remainder of the season, winning both the U14A league championship and premiership.

Wyoming’s program for the Edogawa visit included President Steve Field’s welcome in both English and Japanese.

customs and culture of each others countries. At one stage a return visit by that year’s U12 team to Japan was floated, however it didn’t eventuate; although a team from Gosford City did make such a visit in 1992, and Edogawa Kasi also made a return trip to Wyoming in 1993. The club had a total of 460 registered players, with the biggest increase from 1990 being in the Under 6 to Under 9 (non-competition) age groups where the number of teams jumped from 20 to 23. There were 13 junior (U10-U17) and six senior teams. Although the Club’s administration was fairly settled there was a mid-season change in the president with Peter Morrison being forced to step down becasue of family and work commitments and Steve Field resuming the position he had held between 1987 and 1989, joining with his previous Executive colleagues in Marlene Bailey (secretary) and Alistair Kennedy (treasurer). The season was quite hectic socially due to the outstanding work of the Social Committee set up by Joan Mayes, whose worked was recognised when she was named as the 1991 Clubperson of the Year. The functions included the Club’s 21st Birthday party, Concert in the Park, Tiger Skate, Country and Western Night, Pre-Teen Disco and English Pub night.

President Steve Field couldn’t separate two teams when deciding who should win the 1991 President Trophy so, for just the second occasion it was shared, this time between Bob O’Toole’s U12As and Steve Frame’s U14As, both were league champions, both won their major semi 2-1, both won their grand final 1-0 and both lost just one match all season. A fair decision. The first team up on 1991 junior grand final day at Pluim Park were the Under 11As, coached again by John Bailey, who had taken much the same team to the U10A premiership a year earlier. After finishing the regular season in second place they went straight to their second successive grand final with a 1-0 extra-time win over league champions Umina. Unfortunately the peninsula boys took their revenge in the decider, an excellent goal from a corner giving them a 1-0 win and the title. Bob O’Toole and his Under 12A team had a fabulous season, making the trek to Gunnedah as they had the previous year and coming home as the winners of the consolation U13 Gunnedah knockout; winners of the U12 PMK Round Robin, beating the Northern NSW U12 Reps 5-2 in a trial match; downing Edogawa’s U12s 2-1 in the exchange match at Alan Davidson Park and then taking out the local league championship with a healthy six-point buffer over Killarney District. The only thing they needed to cap off a near-perfect season was the full premiership which had eluded them in the two previous seasons – they had been runners-up as 1989 U10As and U11A joint Premiers in 1990. They made the first step with a hard-fought but unconvincing 2-1 win over Killarney in the major semi to reach their third straight grand final. This time their opponents were Southern-Ettalong who’d come through from third place. In windy conditions the boys refound their touch and dominated the first half unlucky to only lead 1-0 after a 70-metre run by Adam Deane led to Anthony Dillon scoring. Although the second half performance wasn’t as impressive the one goal proved to be enough and a brilliant season was completed.

As the U12As left to collect their medallions the U13As took their place. Coached by Garry Smith they had finished in second place, just two points behind Terrigal. The major semi-final was a tight tussle throughout and looked certain to go to extra-time when Mark Bohringer scored from the edge of the penalty box with just 20 seconds remaining for a confidence-boosting win. As expected Terrigal won through to the grand final and a continuation of the blustery conditions that were affecting all matches that day. Wyoming adapted better to the conditions and rarely looked under threat. Midway through the first half a great through ball from Nikolas Schlie found striker Chris Smith who slotted home the first goal of the match. The second half followed a similar pattern and with ten minutes remaining it was Lee Dashwood this time who found Smith at the front, who chipped the Terrigal keeper for the clinching goal and Wyoming’s second premiership of the day. Again, one Wyoming team was replaced by another. This time it was Steve Frame and his Under 14As. Like the two previous teams the nucleus of the U14As had been together for many years, indeed most had played together since they started with Steve Field’s U6 team of 1983. They had been almost unbeatable in their latter years in the non-competition age groups, being one of the few home teams to take out the club’s own Under 7 Gala Day. Like the U12As they’d finished the 1991 season as league champions with 13 wins, six draws and just one loss from their 20 matches. The team had an outstanding defence and had conceded just six goals going into the semis. Ten minutes into the major semi against Gosford City they conceded their seventh, and last, goal of the season to go one behind. Into the second half and pressure from Wyoming eventually led to an equaliser from Anthony Winn.Into extra-time and it wasn’t until three minutes before a penatly-shootout that Steven Graham scored the winner. There should have been little trace of nerves as the U14As took the field, especially for four players (Grant Bailey, Ben Lyons, Michael Kennedy and Adam Coulter) who were going into their fifth straight grand final, after being finalists as U10As in 1987, Premiers as U11As in 1988 and then runners-up in each of the two previous seasons (U12As in 1989 and U13As in 1990). The decider played under floodlights, saw them up against Berkeley Vale who had finished in third place. Again it was a tense, evenly-contested match with Wyoming’s defence repulsing a number of Berkeley Vale attacks. The match and premiership-winning goal eventually came from a free-kick by

Grant Bailey that flew past the goalkeeper and into the net to wrap up the club’s third title of an amazing day. In retrospect it was disappointing that so few members of the U13A and U14A teams would progress to Premier League football, as most would surely have been capable. Only Chris Large from the U13As and Michael Kennedy from the U14As would remain as long-term Wyoming players. Coincidentally, both had started out in the same 1983 Under 6 team, and by 2010, each would have played a club record 28 seasons in succession, and equal second behind Jamie Robson (35 years in 2010) as the club’s longest-serving players. Kennedy would also go on to pass Kevin Best as the Club’s long-serving First Grader, playing in his 14th season in 2010. The U12As were to make a much more signiifcant contrubition with Damon Ainsley, Stephen Bech, Adam Deane, Greg Herzog, Ben Johnson, Stephen Oostendorp and Scott Snodgrass all playing Premier League at one time or another. Wyoming’s third league championship of 1991 was won by Richard Pagden’s Under 17s, an impressive effort given that most players would still have been eligible to play Under 16s had there been such a competition. At the end of the competition proper they had won 15 and drawn two of their 18 matches to finish six points clear of their nearest rival, a big margin at a time when two were allocated for a win. Unfortunately they saved their worst form for the most important stage of the season, losing back-to-back games against The Entrance, firstly (1-0) in the final round and then again (2-0) in the major semi-final, before being well beaten (3-0) by Umina in the final. The U17s did have the consolation of having won the Wyong Shield knockout competition mid-season, defeating their eventual premiership conquerors, and the 1991 Premiers, Umina 1-0 in the final, the only goal being scored by future First Grade captain, Ryan Marshall. The Under 16 Girls team had the distinction of being the club’s last-ever joint premiers with CCSA introducing penalty shootouts to separate teams in drawn grand finals from 1992 onwards. The three-team competiton between Wyoming, East Gosford and Ocean Beach was dominated by drawn matches, indeed Wyoming’s first seven matches all being 0-0 draws. They won their first match midway through the season but eventually finishing in third place. Rapidly improving by now, they defeated East Gosford in the final, scoring twice in extra time. The grand final against Ocean Beach was another scoreless draw after extra-time and the two teams shared the title.

The 1991 Women’s All-Age One competition was of a mixed standard and despite playing poorly at times, the Wyoming team, coached again by Jeff Fathers, had a string of large wins (including one of 16-0) interspersed with tough matches against teams like Ocean Beach. They ended the season in second place behind Ocean Beach before going down 1-0 to their rivals in the grand final. After three seasons with Wyoming, the first as Reserve Grade coach, the other two with First Grade, George Cousins retired to spend some time travelling with his wife, Marie. With a decade of disappointing results behind the club George had taken on a difficult task and while he left without any premierships behind him there was no doubt that he had turned the senior club around and given it new hope for the future, and at the same time given valuable assistance to the junior coaches. Three achievements stood out during Cousins’ three year stay. One was the succcess in the 1990 Northern NSW Amateur Cup, reaching the 1990 Association (Tooheys) Cup final and getting a Wyoming First Grade team into the semi-finals for the first time since 1981. Importantly the Premier League squad was relatively unchanged, and so providing some stability. Greg Pryor returned after a two-year break while Englishman Paul Coventry took over as First Grade goalkeeper. Injuries provided opportunities for a number of Under 17 players such as Ryan Marshall and Wayne Pagden to make their senior debuts. Reserve Grade had a very poor season winning just four of their 18 matches and finishing in equal last place - although an extra point would have seen them finish four places higher such was the congestion at the foot of the table. First Grade performed better, winning seven, drawing seven and losing just four to squeeze into fourth place. Then after leading1-0 against third-placed Southern- Ettlalong the team lost their intensity and conceded two second-half goals for a disappointing end to the season. Southern went on to take the premiership.

114 1992 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1992

n a major coup for the Wyoming Soccer Club it was able to acquire the services of one of the most influential men in Australian Ifootball and a leading coach in Bill Vrolyks, to take over as coach of the club’s First Grade team for the 1992 season. The most experienced and respected coach on the Central Coast, Vrolyks, then aged 65, had been involved in the sport in Australia for 43 years, firstly as a player with Sydney Austral (354 games) and Leichhardt-Annandale (56 games), both of which clubs he was instrumental in forming. He began coaching at the top level with the NSW Under 18 team in 1966, Pan Hellenic (1967), Sydney Croatia (1968) and then as assistant Coach of the senior NSW team between 1969 and 1971. In 1970 he was a leading contender for the position of coach of the Australian national team. Bill was also heavily involved in the formation of the Australian Soccer Coaches Federation and in the establishment of the $15m Parklea Soccer Academy in Sydney. Bill moved to the Central Coast in the late 1970s and coached Bill Vrolyks OAM Umina from 1980 to 1982 where, ironically, he helped end Wyoming’s seven-year domination of the local competition leading Umina to premierships in 1981 and 1982. In 1983 he took over as coach of the Central Coast State League team, coincidentally from George Cousins, and had immediate success leading the team to victory in just its second season

in the competition. He returned to coaching at club level with Woy Woy and Southern-Ettalong in 1987 and 1988 respectively. In the 1988 Queens Birthday Honours List he was awared an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for his services to the game of soccer. Vrolyks took over a young but talented Wyoming First Grade team that was almost entirely comprised of club juniors young players such as Jarrod Mobberley, Connel Field, Stephen Smith and, making is debut, 17-year-old Ryan Marshall. The improvement shown by the team under George Cousins continued under Vrolyks and with three rounds of the 21-round competition (reduced from ten to eight teams for 1992) to play they were not only assured of a semi-final spot but were even challenging Southern-Ettalong for the league championship. However a late-season form slump saw them draw against East Gosford before narrow losses to Terrigal and Wyong saw them drop down to fourth place. The minor semi-final against The Entrance was a tight affair, going to extra-time, before Wyoming snatched a late goal for a 2-1 win. The final, against Umina, also went to extra-time, and again Wyoming was successful 3-2. These two results meant that, for the first time since 1981, the club had a team in the First Grade grand final. Wyoming went into the grand final, against defending Premiers Southern-Ettallong, without Brad Dunn, who was suspended, and Phil Cartner, who was overseas. Wyoming had its best patches in the first half but were unable to capitalise on the few opportunites that the strong Southern defence allowed. The longer the match went the more the peninsula team dominated and Wyoming finally cracked midway through the second half when SEU’s Craig Page headed home what proved to be the winning goal. Following the match Southern’s captain, Warren Crickmore, paid tribute to the young Wyoming saying that it was a team with a future and on the day provided a strong challenge to his side. But the season wasn’t over for the club’s exciting young senior players. In the traditional end-of- season Margins Cup competition played over the October long weekend at Pluim Park, Wyoming entered a side comprised exclusively of players under the age of 21, a mixture of Premier League and Under 17 players, as well as ex-Club junior, 15-year-old Keenan Field, now with the Central Coast

116 1992 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010 representative team. Despite the tough competition from the 48-team field, including many strong Sydney clubs, the Wyoming rookies, coached jointly by Richard Pagden and Steve Field, took out the Cup final (and the $1500 winner’s cheque), springing a major upset by defeating the Central Coast senior representative team 2-1 with goals to John Bailey and Connel Field. The performance in the Margin Cup by the players from Richard Pagden’s 17A team showed that the club’s junior development program was on the brink of paying major dividends. The team had evolved over the previous six or seven years under the coaching of Kevin Best (1986 U12A1s), Warren Snashall (1988 U14A) and John Hughes (1988 U13As and 1989 U14As) before Pagden took over as coach with the 1990 U15As. These various teams had been competitive throughout this period winning a string of league championships but narrowly missing out on premierships, including back-to-back joint premierships from drawn grand finals in the 1989 U14A and 1990 U15A competitions. As 15 and 16-year-olds they had performed brilliantly to easily take out the 1991 U17 league championship before losing in both the semi-final and final. With a largely unchanged team they were one of the favourites for the 1992 U17A title but were beaten into second place in the competition proper behind Southern-Ettalong United. Their end-of-season jinx looked like it could continue when they were beaten 4-3 by Southern in the major team after the scores had been locked 1-1 after extra-time. However they bounced back the following week with a hard-fought 1-nil win over Umina in the final before defeating SEU by the same score in the grand final. Earlier in the season they had won the Wyong Shield for the second year in a row. With such a talented team set to break into the senior ranks Wyoming’s Premier League future looked bright. Unfortunately it would be the Ourimbah club that would reap the benefits with the majority of the players leaving Wyoming after the 1996 season. Each of the other junior ‘A’ grade teams reached the semi-finals with Steve Frame’s U13As and Reagan Coates’ U14As both taking out the league championship/premiership double. The Under 15As, also coached by Steve Frame, narrowly failed to defend their premiership from the previous season finishing third, in the competition proper. The team had a hard-fought 3-2 win over Woy

Woy in the minor semi-final. The final was just as tough with a 1-0 win over Budgewoi, with the grand final being lost against Berkeley Vale in extra-time. The club’s third league championship/premiership double went to Garry Smith’s 11D. Although the team had a comfortable five-point margin at the end of the competition proper, they went down 2-0 to second-placed Southern-Ettalong in the major semi-final but bounced back with a 1-0 win in the final. The return encounter against SEU went right down to the wire before the only goal of the match, scored by Simon Paull, clinched the title for Wyoming. Both the U16 Girls, coached by Les Place and Angela Bohringer, and Jeff Fathers’ Womens All- Age team were finalists, as were the U10B’s coached by Ian Coughlan, while the U10AB1, U11A and Third Grade team were all beaten in their semi-finals. Two new Life Members were awarded at the 1991 Annual General Meeting. They were to Garry Smith and Peter Morrison. Sadly the on-field successes of the season were overshadowed by a serious conflict within the Club Committee which saw the it divided between two rival factions. A vote of no-confidence in the Committee was defeated however the damage had been done and many Committee members chose not to stand for re-election at the 1993 Annual General Meeting. As a consequence the new Committee started the next season with eleven new members. The schism would have some long-reaching effects on the club.

120 1993 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1993

fter some political turbulence and in-fighting late in 1992 the Club saw a relatively new and inexperienced committee come together to manage its affairs. The major expenditure for the Aseason was the renovation of the Alan Davidson Park clubhouse with a new storeroom and a referees room being constructed behind the dressing rooms and toilets. At the same time the security of the building was upgraded. Much of the work was done by volunteer labour by club tradesmen including Brian Mottram, Alan Singleton, Kevin Flanagan, Tony McAndrew, Phillip Robson, Jamie Robson, Clive Harrison and Bill Vrolyks. An important function that the club held during the season was a benefit night for the family of John Mobberley who had tragically been killed in an accident on a building site shortly after the end of the 1992 season. John, a long-term supporter of the club and a junior coach, left behind a wife, Sandra, and three children, Jarrod one of the Club’s most promising young players and a regular First Grader, daughter Leah and younger son, Dale, then playing in the Under 9s. Whether the off-field tensions affected the club’s on-field performances is open to conjecture but, for the first time since 1971, when the club was in its early development years, no Wyoming team won a premiership. Indeed, in 2010, it remains the only season without a premiership since 1971. Bill Vrolyks returned as First Grade coach with a new deputy, John McLafferty, taking over the Reserve Grade coaching position. In the opinion of many, Wyoming’s best-ever coach, McLafferty had emigrated John McLafferty

from Scotland in the mid-1980s and played for the Collaroy and Manly-Allambie clubs in Sydney before moving to the Central Coast. He first played for Wyoming in the 1992 season, predominantly in the Reserve Grade team, before taking over as coach of that team in 1993. He produced immediate results taking the team from sixth place in 1992 (seven wins and ten losses) to second place in 1993 with 13 wins and five losses. It was the start of a distinguished coaching career which, a decade in the future, would see Wyoming emerge from many years of struggle to again become the dominant Premier League team on the Central Coast. McLafferty would also move up the football ladder and make valuable contributions both at the local junior and senior representative level as well as with the Central Coast Mariners There were major changes to the First grade team that had performed so well the previous year with a number of members of the premiership-winning Under 17 team including Wayne Pagden, Brett Jager and Gavin Singh joining what had already been a very young side. Indeed the 1993 Wyoming First Grade team was probably the youngest in the club’s history. Whether it was their lack of experience or other reasons the First Grade team performed poorly winning just three of their 21 matches and finishing seventh in the eight-team competition. On the positive side, eight drawn matches did indicate that the team was competitive and with only one team relegated they were able to retain their place in Premier League. The only ‘silverware’ to be collected from the 1993 season came from the Under 14As, coached by Steve Frame who took out league championship. They lost just one match during the competition proper before proceeding directly to the grand final with a 2-1 win over Doyalson in the major semi- final. The two teams met again two weeks later but this time the result was reversed with the northerners coming away with a 3-1 win. The Wyoming did have the consolation of being awarded the 1993 Presidents Trophy.

124 1994 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1994

fter the disappointment of not having won a single premiership in 1993, the club had a slight decline in both player and team numbers, fielding a total of 40 teams: six senior, 13 Ajunior (U10-U17) and 21 non-competition (U5-U9). Although there were two Under 16 Girls teams, for the first time since 1982 the club could not nominate a senior womens team. Of even greater concern was the fact that there were ‘A’ grade junior teams in only three of the six age divisions between Under 10 and Under 16 and of these only two proved to be competitive, the U12As, coached by Dennis Stillaway, who finished fourth (albeit in a five-team competition) and Cliff Deane and John Bell’s U16A2 team that outperformed their higher-rated U16A1 clubmates to finish in third place. Although they missed the semi-final cut, the U16A1s did have the consolation of taking out the Wyong Cup. On the bright side, 12 of the club’s 19 competition teams qualified for the semi-finals, including nine of the 13 junior teams. Of these four were eliminated in minor semis, including the U16A2s and both Girls U16 teams. The only surviving junior ‘A’ grade team, the U12As did win through to the final, but were beaten there, as were another three of the five remaining junior teams. The only junior team to qualify for the grand final were the U10Cs, coached by the hard- working Don Sime. ‘Flash’, as he was known, was not only coaching and playing in the club’s Division Two ‘A’ team, but had also been elected as Club president at the 1993 Annual General Meeting. Sime’s U10Cs had won their major semi-final 3-1 and then capped off a great season with a 1-0 grand final victory. After two years as First Grade coach, Bill Vrolyks stepped down and was replaced by Tony Gallagher. The team was again a mixture of emerging young players mixed with some experience including four new signings that in new captain Michael Leete, Mark Greenwood, Brad Horell and Canadian David Zuk.

125 TIGER TALES 1994

Although the team’s final position of fifth was an improvement of the previous season’s seventh place the overall results were below expectations. The team won seven, drew two and lost eleven matches for 16 points, only marginally better than the 1993 First Grade team’s 3-8-10 and 14 points. Despite having the worst defensive record in the competition (48, compared with 31 in 1993) they enetered the final round only needing to beat last- placed East Gosford to take fourth place but went down 2-0. Once again the Reserve Grade team was coached by John McLafferty, this time captained by an experienced player in Mal Tindale who had joined the club the previous season. The season proved to be a three-way tussle between Wyoming and the two strong peninsula clubs, Umina and Southern- Ettalong. A second-round 1-0 loss to Umina proved crucial and despite winning their final three matches, Wyoming had to settle for second place as they had done in 2003. However the experience gained from the previous year’s bad defeats in the semi-final and final proved invaluable for the young Wyoming team and they approached the 1994 finals with a steely determination. In a tight match they defeated the league champions 1-0 to book their spot in the grand final. This time their opponents were Southern-Ettalong, a true result as they had been the two most consistent and entertaining sides throughout the season. The first half consisted of SEU having plenty of ball but not looking threatening while Wyoming created four good chances. As it was the goal that decided the match could hardly be described as a chance. It came from midfielder, John Bailey, a Wyoming player since the age of five who looked up from 30 metres out, saw the goalkeeper off his line and fired in what became known as the ‘Bailey Bullet’, a blinding shot that stunned everyone who saw it at Pluim Park. The other highlight of the match was a series of brilliant saves by the Wyoming goalkeeper, David ‘Jock’ Wilson capped off by a match-winning diving deflection in the dying minutes of the game. The win ended a ten-year title drought for the Wyoming Premier League squad, the previous title having been won by the 1984 Reserve Grade team coached by Tony Kayes. The big improvers of 1994 were the club’s Third Grade side who came from fifth place in 1993 with seven wins to league champions with 15 wins. The team had a new coach in Alan Singleton and an infusion of new blood mixed with a group of tough, experienced campaigners that at times included both the First and Reserve Grade coaches. After a neck-and-neck tussle with Umina throughout the season, Wyoming entered the final round needing to defeat local rivals East Gosford and then hope that top-placed Umina would drop a point in their match to take out the league championship.

Umina score, it looked irrelevant at half-time with Wyoming trailing 2-0 at half-time. Things changed dramatically after the break and the rejuvenated Wyoming Third Graders put away four unanswered goal in a remarkable 20-minute period to win 4-2. The phone call from Umina notified that their match had been drawn and so giving Wyoming the league championship. Umina had its revenge the following week with a convincing 5-2 victory in the major semi-final leaving Wyoming to play Toukley-Gorokan in the final to gain an eagerly awaited re-match. Unfortunately, despite dominating the match for most of the 80 minutes, Wyoming were beaten by a goal against the run of play that gave Toukley a 1-0 win. The Club’s Under 18 team also performed well. With many of the players still within the lowe half of the age bracket which encompassed both U17 and U18, they were guided by a trio of the club’s most experienced and dedicated mentors in coach Pat Ryan, manager Brian Mottram and strapper, Tommy Corless. Between them they moulded the young team into a capable team that improved steadily through the year, winning eight, drawing seven and losing five of their regular season matches and finishing in fourth place. A win in the major semi-final saw them to within match of the competition decider, however their season ended there, beaten 3-1 by Gosford City in the final. The year also saw an important change to the administrative structure of the club with the creation of a new Sub-Committee called the Football Committee.

128 1995 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1995

he Club started the year with yet another set of wholesale changes to the composition of the Committee, the fourth time that this had happened in as many years. Gary Johnson became Tthe fifth different president since 1990 while Marlene Bailey returned to the secretary’s position briefly before resigning and being replaced by Peter Bech. Despite this instability, player strength grew to almost 500, the highest number in a decade, no doubt helped by the introduction of the new Under 5 age group, which saw the total number of teams grow to 45 including two U5s. The number of senior players also grew to 114 with three Division Two teams and two teams in the U18A competition. The increase in teams didn’t help the overall performances which were again very disappointing. Of the 22 teams only six were able to qualify for the finals series, three senior and three junior. All three of the senior teams (Reserve Grade, All-Age Women and U18A1s) were beaten in the finals, although two of the three junior teams (U13A and U10F) did make it through to their grand finals with the U13As, coached by Dennis Stillaway, beaten 2-1 and the U10Fs winning by the same score to give the Club its only premiership for 1995. A promising sign was that three of the non-comp teams (U6 Marlins, U7 Tigers and the U9As) all went through the season undefeated. The success of the U9As was not surprising, certainly in retrospect – the team included four future First Grade players, one of whom, Matthew Simon, would go on to play for the Central Coast Mariners and for the Socceroos. Tony Gallagher stepped down as First Grade coach after just one year in the job, handing over to John McLafferty who had achieved outstanding results in the two previous seasons with Reserve Grade, taking the 1993 team to the final and winning the 1994 premiership. The First Grade team was very competitive, losing just five of their 20 matches, but having a string of draws, and eight in total, that saw them miss fourth place by a single point.

Although still in the early stages of what would become a distinguished senior coaching career that would eventually take him beyond club football, McLafferty’s professional attitude and astute people-management skills were already obvious and despite the 1995 Wyoming First Grade team narrowly missing the semi-finals he was awarded the CCSA Senior Coach of the Year award at the Associations’s end-of-season presentation night. The 1995 season’s only premiership came from the Under 10F age group. Nicknamed the ‘Frogs’, the team was coached by Boyd Kealy with assistance from a number of other parents from the team. They finished the re-graded competition of 14 matches in top place with just two losses. With a number of players missing going into the finals, they were able to call up several substitutes from the U9A team, one of whom was Matthew Simon, who scored the team’s only goal in a 3-1 defeat by Kincumber in the major semi-final. The team bounced back, winning the final against Toukley 2-1 with Simon again scoring, along with regular team member, Glen Pritchard. With renewed confidence the ‘Frogs’ headed into the grand final bent on reversing the result of the major semi-final. Lachlan Bruce gave his team an early lead but Kincumber equalised and the two teams went to the half-time break level at 1-1. Once again it was the team’s highly-promising nine-year-old substitute, Matt Simon, who clinched the match and the premiership with a goal 10 minutes from full-time. Daniel Gambrill was awarded a trophy for the player of the final series. Having been defeated in the final in each of the two previous seasons, Dennis Stillaway’s U13A team were determined to take out the premiership. This time around they managed to finish in second place, with the second-chance that entailed. The major semi-final, against league champions Killarney District, was played in steady rain which acted as a leveller and so helped Wyoming. Although they played at their peak and deserved to win the match, a brilliant strike by a Killarney striker, against the run of play, was the only goal. Into their ‘bogey’ match, where they had been beaten as U11As in 1993 and U12As in 1994. Again it was the tighest of matches, against Ourimbah, that went scoreless after half-time, full-time and at the half-time break in extra-time. Then with less than two minutes to play, Wyoming’s Nathan Carmody scored after a goalmouth scramble, and held on their grand final berth. Despite the team’s consistency over the years that they’d been together, the U13A grand final was the first for all but one member of the team. Once again the game was played in wet conditions that prevented both teams from playing constructive football. From the starting whistle the boys

130 1995 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010 were keen, however both sides were finding the wet conditions difficult. Killarney District took the early lead, and could have scored more without some fuine saves by Wyoming’s goalkeeper, Bradley Stewart. However Gavin Stillaway equalised for Wyoming and with the score one-all at full-time the match went into two five-minute periods of extra-time. The rules that applied at the time stipulated that, in such as situation, the match would go to two further five-minute periods of extra-time. During the first-half Killarney took the lead and, in the heavy conditions, that proved to be decisive and Wyoming were left frustratingly short of victory. The other junior semi-finalists, Bob O’Toole’s U16As were also eliminated after reaching the final with a 3-0 win over Umina in the major semi-final. Unfortunately their campaign ended with a 4-2 loss to Wyong. It was a similar story for the three senior teams that qualified for the finals with all three going out in the finals. Reserve Grade, under new coach Alan Singleton, finished in fourth place, winning their minor semi before being beaten in the final; Lionel Copeland’s Womens All-Age team went out the other way, beaten in the major semi-final and then, after a penalty shootout, in the final; while the U18A1 team, coached by Brian Mottram and Tommy Corless also won their minor semi before losing their final. Importantly for the club’s future, a number of the U18A players were given some experience in the Premier League teams.

1996

he instability that had plagued the Club’s administration for most of the 1990s looked likely to continue with the sixth different president in six years being elected, closely followed by Tthe seventh, when Charles Trippier, who had taken over the position at the 1995 Annual General Meeting, left the area because of work requirements. By way of contrast, in the 11-year period from 1979 to 1989 the club had just two presidents. In fact it was the start of a new era with Wayne Packer, who stepped in following Trippier’s departure, and Peter Bech, who had taken over as secretary midway throught the previous year combining to provide a solid and reliable base for the club to return to normal. Bech, in particular, would become one of the Club’s longest-serving and most important administrators, initially as secretary through to 1999, as president between 2000 and 2005, and filling a number of other positions right through until 2010 when he was elected to the newly-formed WFC Board.

“A picture paints a thousand words” – Peter Bech would play a crucial role in Wyoming’s resurgence from the mid-1990s onwards. Here he strikes an appropriate pose at the 2006 Senior Presentation Night. Player numbers in 1996 remained close to their 1995 levels with eight senior, 14 junior and 18 non-competition teams. Six of the junior teams reached the semi-finals, two as league champions, both going on to also annex the premiership, with a third team also taking out the main title. Importantly, two of the three junior wins were in ‘A’ grade competitons. Five of the eight senior teams also made the play-offs, and although three would reach grand finals, none were successful. As well as taking on the presidency, Wayne Packer continued as coach of one of the club’s most exciting young teams, moving up to competition football for the first time as the U10As. The team included at least five players who would go on to play local First Grade: Andrew Watts and Chiji Olujie (for Wyoming), Adam Stutz (East Gosford) and Ryan Moore (Kincumber), as well as one

who would go all the way to the Socceroo team via East Gosford First Grade and the Central Coast Mariners, in Matthew Simon. The U10As lost just two of their 17 competition matches on their way to a five-point win in the league championship, scoring 48 goals while conceding only seven. The 8am major semi-final was played at a fast pace with Wyoming on attack for long periods with only some last-ditch defence from Terrigal keeping them from scoring. With extra-time looming a Terrigal player hand-balled about two metres from the edge of his team’s penalty box. From the resultant indirect free kick Andrew Wells and Chiji Olujie combined to set up the winning goal for Matt Simon. The U10A grand final was played against Killarney District who had defeated second-placed Terrigal in the final. After repelling some early opposition attacks Wyoming settled into the quality football that they had played all season. The first goal came, as it had in the semi-final, from a well- rehearsed set piece indirect free-kick. Once again Andrew Wells found Matt Simon who drove the ball into the back of the net. Shortly afterwards the two combined yet again, with Simon beating three defenders and scoring, this time with his left foot. Although Killarney fought back in the second half some great goalkeeping by Daniel Holden kept them out, leaving Daniel Agius to wrap up the match with Wyoming’s third goal. The 1996 Under 10A grand final would be Matthew Simon’s last club football match for seven years. The following season he stepped up to Under 11 representatives with the Manly club in Sydney, before returning to play for the Central Coast in his mid-teens. In 2003, as a 17-year-old he joined some of his rep. teammates at East Gosford where he quickly established himself as a player of rare potential. A hat-trick in East’s 8-0 final win over Berkeley Vale helped his team through to the 2004 grand final at Central Coast Stadium against his old junior club. Wyoming would eventually take the match and the premiership in a penalty shootout. The coach of the newly-formed Central Coast Mariners A-League club was a spectator at the match. After another season with East Gosford Simon played for Central Coast Lightning in the 2006 NSW Super League competition. Again his progress was being monitored and he was called into the Mariners squad, firstly for the 2006/07 Pre-Season Cup and then late in the A-League season as

134 1996 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010 a replacement for injured striker, Nik Mrdja. By the end of the 2007/08 Simon had secured a semi- permanent spot in the Mariners starting line-up although he finished the season without a goal. That goal came in the first match of the 2008/09 season and marked the start of a stellar season that saw him in contention for the Golden Boot award. That same season he was a selected in the Australian Under 23 team where a hat-trick against Republic of Ireland in the semi-finals of the Intercontinental Cup impressed Socceroo coach, Pim Verbeek, sufficiently for him to win selection in the full Australian national team against Indonesia and Kuwait in Asian Cup qualifiying matches. In 2010 he signed a contract extension to stay with the Mariners until 2012. After three seasons of frustrating near-misses the 1996 Wyoming Under 14A, again coached by Dennis Stillaway, went into the competition determined to get a breakthrough premiership. As had been the case in the 1995 U13A competition their main rivals were Killarney District who had beaten them 2-1 in the grand final. Such was the domination of these two teams that Wyoming’s record of 16 wins, two draws, one loss and a 74-7 goal difference, still wasn’t good enough to secure the league championship. Another disappointment loomed when they were beaten 1-0 by Killarney in the major semi-final and then when they missed a penalty midway through the second half of the final against Wyong. However their fortunes turned when Gavin Stillaway intercepted a Wyong goal kick and headed the ball to the feet of Dean Wade whose clever chip kick which found the net. The 1996 U14A grand final game was played in steady rain with the pitch wet and muddy. The conditions played their part in giving Wyoming an early lead when a long-range shot from Alan McCubbin found the only firm spot on the field and bounced over the Killarney keeper and (after consultation between referee and linesman) just over the line. Killarney levelled the match just before half-time. With both teams tiring in the heavy conditions and just two minutes of normal time remaining the crucial point of the match came when a Wyoming attacker was brought down in the box. Gavin Stillaway’s successful shot was followed immediately by the referee’s whistle for full-time and after successive seasons as finalist, finalist, runners-up the team had finally broken through for a well-deserved premiership.

Having seen his son, Trevor, celebrate as a member of the U14As, Ian Shute returned to his coaching duties with the Club’s Under 16C team. They had wrapped up the league championship and then won through to the grand final, winning a high-scoring major semi-final 5-4. The decider, against The Entrance, was a tight affair with the score locked at 2-2 at full-time and again after extra- time. The penalty shootout decided the match 3-1 in Wyoming’s favour to give the club its third junior premiership of the season. The 1996 First Grade team, coached again by John McLafferty, was largely unchanged from that of the previous year. It contained a good blend of youth and experience with more than half of the team coming from the successful junior side that had played together up to 1992 when they had taken out the Under 17 premiership. Having missed the semi-finals by just one point in 1995 expectations were high so their final placing of fifth was disappointing, especially as they finished four points adrift if fourth place. By contrast the performances of the Reserve and Third Grade teams surpassed expectations with both teams getting within the last three premiership contenders. Former player, Alan Singleton, had impressed as a coach in each of the two previous seasons by taking the 1994 Third Grade team to the league championship and both that team and the 1995 Reserve Grade team to the finals. In 1996 he went one better, with Reserve Grade reaching the grand final. After leading 2-0 midway through the second half they conceded two goals, the second within five minutes of full-time, and then went down in a penalty shootout. Brian Mottram’s Third Grade team finished in third place, then moved forward with a convincing 5-1 win in the minor semi before bowing out in the final. For the second successive season Wyoming had sufficient lower grade senior players to field three teams in the Division Two competition. The best performed of these was the ‘C’ team coached by Cliff Deane that finished second in the competition and then went down by the narrowest of margins (1-0) in the grand final. One of the club’s best-performed junior teams graduated to the senior ranks in 1996 as the Under 18As. The core of this team had been together for eight seasons starting as the U10As of 1989. For five of the eight years, including the last two, they had been coached by Bob O’Toole with Steve Frame coaching them in 1992 and 1993, and Cliffe Deane in 1994. During this period they had never failed to reach the finals series, had won three successive league championship (from U12As in 1991 through to U14As in 1993) and three premierships - jointly as the 1990 U11As and on their own as the 1992 U13As and 1993 U14As Their eight out of eight semi-final record looked doomed midway through the season at which time they had lost five and drawn one of their first nine matches. However their form turned around from mid- June onwards and they lost just one of their remaining matches in the 1996 Senior Player of competition proper, although four draws meant that they scraped into the Year Brad Horrrel the finals series in fourth place. The minor semi-final was against one of their closest rivals, Wyong, where their record was one 1-0 win apiece with the other match a 1-1 draw The match was as tight as expected with Wyong having the better of a very competitive first half, but with Wyoming’s defence holding solid. The tide turned in the second half and Wyoming dominated and finally taking the lead through a great goal by Stephen Bech. With Wyong down to ten men after a sending off Wyoming looked to have the match won before a last-minute, highly doubtful penalty allowed Wyong to snatch a late equaliser and then go on to take out the resultant pently shootout by three goals to two.

138 1997 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1997

verall, 1997 was the club’s most successful season since 1983 and its second most successful ever. Of the club’s 22 competition teams, twelve reached the semi-finals, three of them as O league champions. The club finished sixth of 21 clubs in the Sterland Trophy, fourth in the Jack Atkins Trophy and also fourth in the Senior Club Championship. Ten of the 12 semi- finalists won, with seven progressing through to grand final. Of these all but one was successful. Contrasting to these positives there was a major disruption to the First Grade team that would have a long-lasting affect on the team’s fortune. The problem arose from the First Grade coaching position becoming vacant following John McLafferty’s move to coaching with Central Coast junior teams. Three applications were received for the vacancy. One came from Alan Singleton who had taken the club’s Reserve Grade grade team to the grand final in 1996; another from Richard Pagden, who had been the junior coach of many of the young players who would form the nucleus of the team, and a former Wyoming First Grade coach (in 1985), Tony Kayes. When Kayes was appointed, Pagden accepted an offer from the Ourimbah club to coach its First Grade team, then in the Division One competition. His acceptance of that position was followed by an exodus of players, the majority long-serving ex-Wyoming juniors, to Ourimbah. Many years of development, aimed at returning the club to the top of Premier League, was lost as the majority of those players who would have formed the 1997 First Grade team departed. The new Ourimbah First Grade team, composed almost entirely of these ex-Wyoming players, met with immediate success in the 1997 Division One competition, winning promotion to Premier League that season and then going on to take out the 1998 Premier League First Grade title, again under Pagden’s coaching. With only five regular First Graders from 1996 returning in 1997, Tony Kayes was forced to call up a number of players emerging from the junior ranks and to rush them into the squad. Most were still in their late teens with little or no senior experience, including Adam Deane, Aaron Hood, Michael Kennedy and Stephen Oostendorp. They joined senior players such as Phil and Matt Robson, Steve Kennedy, Michael Strachan and Greg Preston to form a team that performed beyond expectations to finish just one point away from third place, but with the competition extremely tight this meant settling for sixth place. Of the Club’s six premiership-winning teams the most important in terms of the club’s future was the Under 18 team, coached by Barry Jones, and likely to provide the next batch of players to

140 1997 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010 the Premier League squad. As it turned out, although a number of players did play in Premier League, only two, Paul Jones and Shane Butt, would win permanent spots. Although only beaten once during the competition proper the U18s had to settle for second place behind Umina whose 1-0 win over Wyoming during the season proved to be the difference between first and second place. The teams met again in the major semi-final, the first of two epic encounters that would decide the premiership. Umina took the lead in the first half, then after a long period of domination, Wyoming equalised through Jordan Burdon with just ten minutes remaining. With the scores locked at 1-1 at full-time the match went to extra-time and then to a penalty shootout eventually won 6-5 by Umina. With two players suspended and a number of others injured the team had just ten fit players for the following week’s final against The Entrance, forcing them to call up players from the U16A team that played immediately prior to them. Once again the game went into extra-time with Wyoming’s Trevor Andersen scoring a golden-goal winner to take the team through to the grand final. The U18 grand final was another titanic struggle between Umina and Wyoming. Both teams scored in the first half with no more scoring in either regulation or extra time. So another penalty shootout would decide the premiership. This time it almost went through the entire team before Wyoming took the shootout 9-8 to give the club its first ever success in that age group. Three teams won the league championship/premiership double in 1997. All three lost just one match all season on their way to their resppective titles. Wayne Packer’s U11As included three future Premier League players in Chiji Olujie, Aaron Shute and Ben Wallington. They took the league championship with a 13-point cushion over second-placed Killarney District, who they went on to defeat 3-1 win in the major semi-final and 1-0 in the grand final, the winning goal not coming until five minutes from full-time by Aaron Shute. The win was the team’s second in a row, having also won the 1996 U10A title.

Throughout its ten-year life the ‘Dream Team’ supported and were supported by The Grange Hotel. Here they are photographed in their team hats in the hotel’s courtyard. In their first year together they would go on to take out the 1997 All-Age 3 league championship/premiership double and annex a total of six premierships.

At the start of the season the new All-Age 3 team had dubbed themselves the ‘Dream Team’ borrowing the name from the 1992 US Olympic basketball team. The nucleus of the team comprised former First and lower grade players keen to continue playing but without the demands required at the higher level. Coached by Bobby Bray they proved too good for their AA3 opponents and took out the first grand final with a comfortable 3-0 win. The Girls U13s, coached by Don Sime, went through the season undefeated, wrapping up a great season by coming from a goal down to down Ocean Beach 5-2 in the grand final at Fagan Park.

HIGH ACHIEVERS

ANDREW CLARK began his long and distinguished football career with the Wyoming Soccer Club playing for four years from the 1980 U6As through to the 1983 U9A2s, winning the Player of the Year award in his final years with the club. When his family moved to Somersby he played for the local club, PMK, before playing for the Central Coast Coasties in the NSW First Division between 1992 and 1997. One of the game’s great journeyman, Andrew became a full-time professional in 1997, playing in Hong Kong for the 5-1-7 club. He returned to Australia in 1998 and after a few games with the Coasties he was signed by National Soccer League (NSL) club Canberra Cosmos where he scored five goals from 13 matches in the 1999/00 season. In 2000 he transferred to Parramatta Power, also in the NSL, before returning to the Coasties for the 2001/02 season. Stints with Manly-Warringah and APIA-Leichhardt followed before he went overseas again to play in the 2003 season with leading Malaysian club Kedah. The following season he was back in Australia playing again for APIA as well as for the Northern Tigers in the NSW Super League No player could have been happier than Andrew Clark when the Australian A-League competition was established in 2005 and he was able to return permanently to the Central Coast as one of the first players signed by the Mariners, where he played in the 2005 pre-season trial match against Wyoming at Central Coast Stadium. Andrew would play out the remainder of his career with the Mariners, at the same time establishing a parallel career as the club’s Strength and Conditioning coach which he will continue to hold into the future. In total he played 85 A-League matches in his five years for the Mariners before retiring at the end of the 2009/10 142 season. 1997 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

144 1998 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

1998

difficult season for everyone involved in Central Coast soccer with continual breaks because of wet weather and waterlogged pitches. The final results for the season were also disappointing A with the 23 competition teams providing just a single premiership. With just over 500 registered players Wyoming was the third largest club on the Central Coast and had a total of 45 teams: nine in the senior grades, 14 juniors and 22 non-competition teams. Of these there was one senior womens and two junior girls teams. Five of the senior teams and six of the junior competition teams qualified for the semi-finals with four eventually making it through to their respective grand finals. The promotion from the third to the second division of the All-Age competition, and a change of coach, didn’t bother the second version of the ‘Dream Team’, as they annexed their second successive league championship/premiership double and the club’s only premiership of 1998. In charge of the AA2 ‘Dream Team’ was the previous year’s First Grade coach, Tony Kayes. The team’s experience once again was instrumental in their success with the team losing just two of the 20 matches that they played during the full season. The grand final was played against Gosford City and won 3-1. The only other trophy winners were Bruce Barrett’s junior team who won the U14B league championship but were then beaten in the major semi-final and grand finals. The club’s leading junior team were the Under 16As coached by Dennis Stillaway. After finishing in second place they had three tight encounters, beaten 1-0 during golden-goal extra time by league champions, Killarney District, in the major semi-final, played on a Thursday night after having been postponed from the previous Saturday due to the rain which had so disrupted the season.

The U16As then had to dig deep in the final against Ourimbah to win through to the grand final, when after leading 1-0 at half-time, the goal scored by Gavin Stillaway, and missing a number of scoring chances, they not only conceded a penalty but also had the offending player sent-off early in the second half. But dig deep they did and a late goal from Andrew Hill gave them a well-deserved win. Unfortunately, in another closely contested match, they again went down to Killarney in the grand final beaten 2-1. After the promising signs shown the previous year, the young First Grade team performed poorly winning just five of their 21 matches and finishing second last of the eight teams in the Premier League competition although never under threat of relegation. Under new coach Bob O’Toole the team’s lack of experience, and the absence of a quality striker, told at crucial times of the season, with nine of their 15 losses being by a single goal. One of the two season highlights came in the third round when they defeated Ourimbah, now promoted to Premier League and made up almost entirely of their former clubmates. It was the start of a trend that would continue for more than a decade when, despite the strength of the Ourimbah team and their own relative weakness, Wyoming would invariably lift and were rarely beaten in these encounters.The1998 win was all the more impressive as, despite the loss, Ourimbah would go on to take out the premiership. The second highlight of 1998 came at the end when the team won the ‘B’ Division of the Margins Cup stringing together a series of wins before taking the final against Pittwater in a penalty shootout. Commenting on the season, coach O’Toole stated that “The most satisfying aspect of the year was to see the team ‘bond’ so well together. By season’s end they were all team-mates in every sense of the word – a great starting point for real success next season.” In the absence of any suitable candidate at the start of the season Bob O’Toole also coached the Reserve Grade side, although mid-season he was joined by Craig Herring as joint coach. Herring had played his junior football at Wyoming before graduating to representative football in 1990. A

While the Reserve Grade team performed better than Firsts, they were plagued by inconsistency – capable of playing extremely good football at times, then lapsing into sub-standard performances, not surprisingly given their youth. However, the team did perform well enough to finish in fourth place where they were beaten in the minor semi-final. The senior Womens team started the season in All-Age 1 competition but with injuries and players leaving, they were clearly out of their depth. Midway through the season they were switched to the WAA2 competition. There they performed much better eventually reaching the final where they were beaten 1-0.

For the first time since the club was formed in 1970 the number of registered players passed the 600-mark with a total of 624 players in 48 teams, also a new record. The combination of extra players, wet weather, and a lack of regular fixtures at Alan Davidson Park made life very difficult for everyone concerned with running the club, especially Bob Wallington in his first year as fixtures officer and the new canteen managers, Sherene Kennewell and Elizabeth Heard. Of the 48 teams there were nine in the senior grades, 16 juniors between Unders 10s and 16s, and 23 junior non-competition teams between Under 5s and 9s. This last group had a total of 240 players, a record number which still stands in 2010. From the 25 competition teams only eight qualified for the end-of-season playoffs, with just one (Pat Ryan’s AA5s) being league champions, although three did go on to win premierships. The titles came at each end of the age spectrum from two Under 10 teams at one end and the experienced ‘Dream Team’ at the other. For the latter team, their success in the All-Age 3 competition gave them their third win in succession and, in Brad Dunn, their third different coach in three years. The First Grade team again struggled for stability with a number of changes in personnel and, in Jarrod Mobberley, their fourth different coach in as many years and also the first player/coach since Dave Cronk back in 1982. Performances were again disappointing with just four wins and 13 losses from 21 matches and another second-last placing in the eight team competition just four points ahead of Gosford City who were relegated – just three years after the second of its back-to-back

premierships. The young team did however redeem themselves when, over the October long weekend, they went one better than they had the previous season by taking out the main Margin Cup with a very young side, reinforced by a couple of representative players in Shane Knight and Dane Hokin. Of the six junior ‘A’ grade teams, only three reached the semi-finals with Mike Robinson’s U10A the highest-placed in third position. The team contained a number of players destined to go on to distinguished football careers. Four would play in the local Premier League: Brock Ditton (for East Gosford) and Ian McAndrew, Tim Wallington and Thomas Coventry for Wyoming; while both McAndrew and Brady Smith would play for Central Coast Lightning and for the Central Coast Mariners in the A-League competition due to start six years later. Ian McAndrew, one of three brothers to play First Grade for Wyoming and the son of club stalwart, Tony McAndrew, would also go on to represent Australia in the 2010 Futsal Asian Championships in Uzbekistan. But that was all in the future as the 1999 Under 10A minor semi-final against Killarney District kicked off at Pluim Park No.l, the first time that the boys had played on the Coast’s number one field. Despite this, and the added pressure of a good crowd, they settled down quickly and after a succession of attacking raids by Josh Mulligan Wyoming took an early lead when Nik Gorell scored from a comer. Against the run of play Killarney equalised from a goalmouth scramble but Wyoming replied quickly when Tim Wallington sprinted downfield and put in a perfect cross for Daniel Edwards to score. Into the second half Wyoming continued to control the match and Edwards scored again for a 3-1 lead. A reckless tackle in the last minutes saw Killarney score from a penalty but even the panic of the last moments did not see Wyoming lose this one, winning 3-2. The final, against Budgewoi, was an even tighter match, with Wyoming again taking an early lead through a well-taken penalty by Tim Wallington. Budgewoi countered to send the match into extra- time with Wyoming’s goalkeeper, Tom Robinson, making a memorable save in the dying minutes to keep his team in the match which then went to a penalty shootout. Ian McAndrew, Josh Bellamy and Arrow Van Putten all scored before Thomas Coventry put the last goal in to win the match, replacement goalkeeper, Josh Mulligan, having earlier made some great saves.

150 1999 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

Now with plenty of momentum the boys met Avoca in the grand final in a match that remained scoreless throughout and eventually went to another penatly shootout. Again the Wyoming players handled the pressure admirably with Ian McAndrew, Josh Bellamy, Brady Smith and Arrow Van Putten all scoring. The pressure became even greater when the referee miscounted the number of shots that had been taken, and incorrectly awarded the match to Avoca. His error was quickly pointed out by both coach Robinson and the linesman and the shootout resumed. Again Josh Mulligan, was the shootout goalkeeper and his save from Avoca’s equalising attempt gave Wyoming the match, and the premiership, 4-3. For the first time since 1988 when Wyoming won all three Under 11 premierships, the club took out two titles in the same age-group with the Under 10Gs, coached by Scott McKinnon, going from second-place directly to the grand final with a 2-1 win over the league champions in the major semi and then claiming the title with a 1-0 win over Umina in the grand final. Despite having won the 1998 All-Age 2 premiership the ‘Dream Team’ somehow managed to get themselves relegated to All-Age 3 for the 1999 season. Under new coach Brad Dunn they finished in third place with seven wins, five draws and four losses from their 16 matches. Again the team’s big match experience proved invaluable during the playoffs as they strung together the necessary three straight wins, culminating in a 1-0 win over Budgewoi in the grand final to maintain the ‘Dreamers’ perfect record of three premierships in three seasons. Needless to say, celebrations at ‘Dream Team Headquarters’ in Renwick Street went well into the night. Another All-Age team with a record of success was Pat Ryan’s AA5s who had been Premiers in 1997 and AA4 finalists in 1998. After dominating the competition to finish as league champions with a 12-1 win/loss ratio and conceding just nine goals from 16 matches, they went straight to the grand final with a hard-fought 1-0 win in the major semi-final. Unfortunately that score was reversed in the decider against Umina and the popular Irishman’s team had to settle for a runners-up medallion in 1999.

Also runners-up were the Womens All-Age team, coached for the second season by Don Sime, who had now established himself as the club’s longest-serving coach with his two 1999 teams taking his record to 19 teams over a 13-year period. In the minor semi-final against East Gosford, Cheronne Nicholas, battling a knee injury, dominated the match in its early stage before giving Wyoming the lead. East Gosford equalised late in the first half, and after a hard and fast second period Sue Moffit scored with only a couple of minutes to spare for a 2-1 win. The final, against the Coasties representative team, was fast and furious but ultimately scoreless at full-time. Good goal keeping from both Catherine Thuaux and Jenny Huntington kept Wyoming in the game. Then with about four minutes to go in the first period, Jenny Wallace lobbed a shot over the opposition goalkeeper’s head for what would ultimately be the only goals of the match. One of the stars for Wyoming was Chris Muldoon, formerly Wilkinson, who was placed in the unusual situation of having to mark her own daughter, who was the captain of the Coasties team. It had been four years since Wyoming had contested a top-grade Womens grand final and during the season they had been unable to defeat their opponents Kincumber in any of their previous encounters. Continual hard work by Wyoming’s Jenny Huntington was rewarded when she scored the first goal of the match. Kincumber equalised, and the teams went to half-time at one-all. The second half was a repeat of the first, only this time it was Kincumber’s turn to score and take a 2-1 lead which Wyoming, despite a late flurry, was unable to match. Another team to perform well was the very important Under 18 team, coached by former First Grade Ken Butt. Despite losing just two of their 15 regular season matches the team could only manage to finish in third place. They won through to the final with a confident 3-1 win over Umina including excellent goals to Luke Cumberland and Peter Randall. Unfortunatley that was to be as far as the team would go, being defeated 1-0 by Doyalson in a tight final.

A typically ferocious encounter between Wyoming and Ourimbah in their Round 16 match at Ourimbah Oval. Here Scott Snodgrass tussles with Ourimbah’s Adam Dolling, with goalkeeper Stephen Oostendorp ready to save. Ourimbah gave Wyoming one of its biggest defeats on record, winning 5-0.

HIGH ACHIEVERS

PAUL SMALLMAN only had a brief soccer career, playing for Wyoming in the 1982 U8C1s and 1983 U9A2s, playing alongside future Mariners player Andrew Clark, before switching to rugby league. He took up boxing in his teens and turned professional in 1995. Fighting as Paul ‘The Doctor’ Smallman, he won the first of his four titles, the PABA super middleweight, 1998. The following year he won the South Seas Cruiserweight title and in April 2002 he fought Danny Green in Sydney for the IBF Pan Pacific Super Middleweight title, being knocked out by the future world champion in the eighth round. Paul bounced back later that year to win the NSW and Australian Cruiserweight title in front of his home crowd at the Central Coast Leagues Club. He currently lives in Fiji where he had his last fight in 2004, although he is scheduled to make his comeback fight in Surfers Paradise on June 2010.

154 2000 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

2000

n important season as the club celebrated its 30th anniversary with a number of items produced and events held to mark the occasion culminating in a dinner/dance to coincide Awith the end-of-season Senior Presentation Night. The club fielded a total of 49 teams: nine senior, 17 junior and 23 non-competition. Included in these were two senior womens and one junior girls team. While 11 of the 26 competition teams reached the semi-finals, but with just one league champions (U11Es) and one premiership, from Colin Muldoon and his Womens Division Two team. Following the senior womens team’s success in reaching the previous season’s grand final there was an influx of new players and, as a result, two teams were nominated. The number one team, based on its 1999 success, was promoted to Division One while the second team, coached by Bruce Miller, was graded into Division Three. However with four leading players having left the club the top team struggled losing its first four matches 2-0, 6-0, 9-0 and 2-1. As a result the team was regraded back to Division Two and the competition re-started. From here they began to play consistently and steadily improved to such and extent that by the end of the competition rounds they had finished in second spot behind league champions, Ourimbah.

Not unlike the situation with the Mens Premier League team, the Ourimbah team had been bolstered by the recruitment of four ex-Wyoming players. The major semi-final was a tense and hard- fought match eventually won when Ourimbah capitalised on a loose ball to score the only goal of the match. However Wyoming bounced back with a confidence-boosting 2-0 win over Gosford City in the final with goals to Saryna Shute and Rebecca Wales. A large crowd, including most of the Club Committee and many members of the MPL squad were on hand for the grand final. Instead of the tense and tight match that everyone had expected after fifteen minutes Wyoming had skipped to a 3-0 lead and were never headed, eventually winning the match 6-0 with Gina Amaral scoring a rare grand final hat-trick. Even more memorable was a first-ever goal to Priya Iyer. Rebecca Wales and Lisa Butt rounded off the Wyoming scorers. Once again the young Mens Premier League First Grade team struggled to remain competitive and from early in the season it was clear that avoiding relegation was a more realistic goal than making the semi-finals. In the three seasons since the mass defection of players to Ourimbah, in what were then eight-team competitions with only the bottom team relegated, they had finished 6th in 1997, and 7th in both 1998 and 1999. Midway through the season Barry Jones replaced Jarrod Mobberley as coach. Wyoming went into the final match of the season in second-last place, two points ahead of Terrigal and so needed just a draw to ensure their survival. The match, deferred due to bad weather, was played at Pluim Park mid-week at night. Wyoming saved its worst for last and were beaten and so, for the first time since entering the senior competition in 1974, were relegated to the lower division. Although it was disappointing at the time, especially in the midst of the club’s 30th Anniversary celebrations, in retrospect it was the best thing that could have happened because it forced a major re-think in the way things had been approached in the recent past and brought forward a number of important people who would introduce these changes. In an indication of true club spirit, as the players sat glumly in their dressing room, a group of supporters from the ‘Dream Team’ marched in with a carton of beer and roused them from their depression, encouraging them to stay on and fight their way back into Premier League the following season. While it took an extra year their enthusiasm was well- founded and most of these same supporters were present at Central Coast Stadium in September 2004 to see Marcus Steele raise the First Grade premiership trophy. While the ‘Dream Team’ did tend to operate semi-autonomously from the rest of the club, arranging their own sponsorship and playing shirts, no one could doubt their loyalty to the club.

156 2000 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010 promotion/relegation situation, the Wyoming team, coached by Craig Herring, performed well, finishing the regular season in second place with ten wins and three draws from their 16 matches. Their season also finished badly, perhaps influenced by the relegation news, with back-to-back defeats, each by a one-goal margin, in the finals series. One of the best performances of the season came from Alan Bendeich’s Under 13B team. With one round remaining they were in fifth place, needing to win their final match to qualify for the play-offs. This they did with a 1-0 win over Gosford City. In the minor semi-final, against third- placed Killarney District they scored twice in the second half to convert a 1-0 half-time deficit to a 2-1 win. Next came the final where they were up against the league champions, Kincumber, who had been defeated in the major semi-final the previous week by Terrigal. With confidence steadily increasing they pulled off a major upset with a hat-trick to ‘Chas’ Hulls giving them a 3-0 win and a place in the grand final. Unfortunately that was the end of their run, going down 2-1 to Terrigal in the grand final. The 2000 season’s only league championship was won by the Under 11Es, coached by Rick Parker. After being beaten 1-0 in the major semi-final, they won a place in the grand final with a 2- 1 in the final, before going down 2-0 in the decider. Other successful teams of 2000 were the All-Age 1s, beaten 3-0 in the grand final; the U18Bs coached by Bruce Barrett who, after finishing in second place, were beaten 2-1 in the major semi- final and 5-4 in a penatly shootout in the final; and Don Sime’s Girls Under 14s who were also beaten finalists.

158 2001 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

2001

he club’s administration remained stable with Peter Bech entering the second of his six-year term as president while Mark Le Cornu stayed on as secretary for a second year. There Twas a new treasurer in Bob Wallington, and he would also remain in that position for three years. Although player numbers were down slightly from the record-levels of 2000 the club still was able to field 47 teams: nine senior, 17 junior and 21 non-competition. However a worrying trend of not having sufficient quality to players to enter ‘A’ Grade junior competitions was beginning with the club only having teams in four of the seven junior grades compared with six the previous year. By the end of the decade this would have dropped to just one team. Of the 26 competition teams, 19 qualified for semi-finals, the highest number in the club’s history, surpassing the previous record of 18 set in 1984. Of these 19, six won league champions, equalling the record set in 1984. The biggest achievements of the 2001 season came from the all-female teams. Player numbers for those wishing to play in dedicated female teams had increased by more than 50 per cent over the 2000 season. Consequently a record number of five teams were nominated, three in junior competitions (U12s, U14s and U16s) and one each in the All-Age 1 and All-Age 3 senior womens grades. More importantly there was quality as well as quantity with all five teams reaching the semi- finals, three as league champions (U12s, U16s and WAA3s). Two then went on to win premierships (U14s and WAA3), the only occasion that more than one all-female premiership had been won in the same season. The Womens All-Age 3s, coached by Bruce Miller, dominated their competition with 17 wins, three draws and just one loss from their 21 matches. Although their final two matches proved closer than average, they went on to take out the premiership with 1-0 wins in both the major semi-final and grand final. Making her debut for Wyoming in the team was Kym Witcombe who, under her married name of Kym Russell, would return to the club in 2008 as an Under 5s coach before resuming her career with the successful Womens Premier League in 2009 and winning the Senior Womens Player of the Year award. 2001 WOMENS ALL-AGE 3 – The other premiership LEAGUE CHAMPIONS AND PREMIERS winners were the Under 14 Girls, Rear (l to r): Peter Morrison (Manager), Melissa Proctor, coached by George Savidis.

only finish in third place. They won their minor semi-final 3-0, Final 1-0 and then defeated Killarney District 2-1 in the grand final. The Under 12 Girls team was coached by All-Age 1 player Cheronne Nicholas. Their record of eleven wins and two draws was enough to take them to the league championship, from where they went directly to the grand final with a goal from Crystall Marginson giving them a hard-fought 1-0 win over East Gosford. Unfortunately East Gosford had their revenge a fortnight later winning the grand final 2-1. The Womens All-Age 1 (or Division One) team, coached by Colin Muldoon, finished the competition rounds fourth of the six teams in the grade. The minor semi-final against Wyong at Pluim Park No 2 started late due to earlier matches going into extra time. Then with the match still scoreless at full-time the lights failed just as the players were taking the field for extra-time. The match was eventually transferred to Field One where, in the seventh minute Wyoming sealed the win with a golden-goal decider. With so many female teams in the club there was a large crowd in attendance for the following week’s Final against Kincumber. Hopes were high when Wyoming led 1-0 at half-time but Kincumber hit back with two quick goals early in the second half and eventually took the match 3-1. Ian Shute and his Under 11F team had an excellent season finishing in second place with 16 wins and three draws from their 21 matches. They entered the major semi-final with plenty of confidence having won their last four matches and without conceding a goal. Indeed they didn’t concede a goal in normal play for the remainder of the season, winning the major semi-final 1-0 and then having a scoreless draw in the grand final, taking the title with a 2-1 penalty shootout win. For the first time since entering the senior competition in 1974 the Wyoming First and Reserve Grade teams were playing in the lower division, now oddly-named as Premier League Two. Taking over as coach of both teams was 25-year-old Craig Herring, still the club’s youngest-ever First Grade coach. Relegation had led to a number of players leaving the club for Premier League One teams and the club had to rely on its home-grown talent which, in 2001, included a talented young full-back who would go on to become one of the club’s best in Trevor Shute. Indeed such was the 18-year-old’s impact that he became the second-youngest winner of the club’s Senior Player of the Year award. Although the First Grade team was competitive, with nine wins and four draws from their 18 competition matches, they were never a chance of gaining promotion with both Killarney District (relegated since 1997) and East Gosford (since 1994) finishing well clear of the field and so winning the two promotion places. A fascinating statistic would emerge from these three top teams in the 2001 Premier League Two competition. In their first season back in PL1, East Gosford would go on to win the 2002 premiership; then in 2003 Killarney took 2001 UNDER 11F – PREMIERS out the title; followed in 2004 by Rear (l to r): Ian Shute (Coach), Sara Hodges, Chris Younger, Wyoming.

160 2001 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

With only the lower division premiership to play for Wyoming won through to the Final with a hard-fought 1-0 win over fourth-placed Toukley, the goal coming in the 18th minute from Scott Howison. The Final against Killarney District was marred by the sending off of a Wyoming player early in the second half, yet despite this the team fought back from a 2-0 deficit to go down 3-2. After finishing as league champions the Reserve Grade team lost form, losing the major semi- final (2-0 against Killarney) and the Final (4-1 to East Gosford) in successive weeks. One of the busiest and most committed club members of 2001 was undoubtedly Scott Howison. A First Grade player since 1999, he had taken up coaching with the 2000 U16A team that had reached the semi-finals. In 2001, apart from training and playing himself, he coached both the U15A (jointly with his father, Richard) and Girls U16A teams. He led both of these junior teams to league championships although both missed out on premierships, with the girls team thrashed 4-0 in the major semi then narrowly beaten 2-1 in the Final. The nucleus of the Howison U15A team had been together under the coaching of Wayne Packer for the past six years from the Under 9As of 1995 through to the 2000 U14As. Many would stay together to win the 2003 U18A premiership and 2001 UNDER 15As – LEAGUE CHAMPIONS & then move into the Premier CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS SEMI-FINALISTS League squad over the Rear (l to r): Aaron Shute, Mark Dunston, Ben Wallington. following two seasons.

Unfortunately their season foundered, at least locally, in a spiteful major semi-final against East Gosford which saw a number of Wyoming players injured and one sent off during the second half. The score remained 0-0 at full- time before East Gosford took the match with a ‘golden-goal’ winner midway through the second period of extra time. The effort told and the following week the U15As were knocked out in the Final 2-1 by Umina. However their season wasn’t over. As league champions the Wyoming Under 15As would represent the Central Coast in the NSW Champion of Champions competition, which although a statewide knockout tournament was generally played against Sydney opponents. Their first round match was at home the day after the defeat by Umina against a rough and tough team from Chullora. Fortunately some firm refereeing kept things under control and a goal midway through the second half saw Wyoming come away with a confidence-boosting 1-0 win.

161 TIGER TALES 2001

The following Sunday saw the team off to Sydney to play against Macquarie, the unbeaten Premiers from the Ryde area. Once again the scoreline was 1-0 to Wyoming, with Ben Wallington scoring in the 25th minute and the defence holding their opposition out. The win meant that the team had now reached the last eight in the competition and they moved into the semi-finals the following week, when they came back from an early one-goal deficit to defeat Parklea 2-1 with the clincher coming in ‘golden-goal’ extra time. That was destined to be the end of the road as the boys were defeated in the semi-final played at Granville against their fourth Sydney-based opponents, Como-West Janalli. It had been an outstanding achievement, establishing themselves as one of the top four Under 15 teams in NSW. For three members of the team, Luke Hiscock, Chiji Olujie and Ben Wallington it was a taste of things to come because, six years later, they would return as part of the Wyoming First Grade team that would go two steps further and take out the Senior Champion of Champions title. Indeed it would prove to be a career highlight for Ben Wallington whose goal in the 2007 Final would help set up his team’s victory. Two of the Men’s All-Age teams qualified for the semi-finals, with both Pat Ryan’s MAA3s and the MAA4 ‘Dream Team’, coached this year by Bobby Bray Junior, finishing in third place and both moving through to the finals with wins in their minor semi-finals. The 3s went down 2-0 in their Final but the ‘Dreamers’ won to go through to their fourth grand final in five years, although there was to be no dream ending – they were narrowly defeated 2-1 in the decider. Alan Bendeich’s 14B team had a disappointing end to their season. After taking out the league championship they went down 2-0 and 4-0 in the major semi-final and Final.

HIGH ACHIEVERS ANDREW MOSELEY played two seasons of football for Wyoming in 1986 and 1987 and then went on to play at the top level locally in both cricket and rugby union as well as at representative level.In the first of his two seasons with Wyoming his U10C1 team, coached by Dave Fortune, took out the league championship and shared the premiership. He then played in the U11B2s which missed the semi-finals. At the same time he was playing cricket for the Narara-Wyoming Cricket Club and by his late teens was the club’s First Grade wicketkeeper. By the mid-1990s he had won selection in the Central Coast Open respresentative team and from there was chosen in the NSW Country Colts team that played a Sydney Grade representative team, that included another WFC High Achiever in Andrew Sainsbury, at Bankstown Oval. He was a member of the NWCC team that won the 2001/02 Central Coast First Grade premiership, eventually retiring from cricket in 2007. After a break from winter sport between 1988 and 1991 Andrew began playing rugby union with the Gosford Rugby Club and quickly won his way through to the First Grade team in that sport as well. A breakaway with a tireless workrate, he has been one of the Coast’s outstanding players for more than a decade, winning four premierships with Gosford, including three as captain. For many years he represented the Central Coast in regional rugby championship and in 2006 season he played for the Central Coast Waves team that competed in the Sydney grade Shute Shield 162 competition. That same year he played for the Australian Barbarians team. 2001 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

164 2002 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

2002

n excellent season for the club with 17 of the 27 competition teams reaching the semi-finals, including five league championships. From there, eleven of the 17 reached their respective A grand finals with five teams winning premierships. Importantly, two of the league champions were the club’s First and Reserve Grade teams meaning that, because First Grade had finished in one of the top two positions, the club would return to Premier League One in 2003, after just two seasons in the lower division. The battle for top place went down to the wire with the final round match between first-placed Wyoming (on 44 points) and second-placed Kanwal (42 points) set to determine the PL2 league championship. Adding spice to the encounter was the fact that the two coaches, Wyoming’s Ken Butt and Kanwal’s Steve Frame, had played together at Wyoming in the early 1980s. Steve Frame, who had learnt his coaching craft at Wyoming, had moved with his young family to Hamlyn Terrace and so reluctantly had broken his ties with the club of which he was a Life Member. Joining Frame at Kanwal was another Wyoming veteran player in Matthew Robson. That final match ended in a 1-1 draw and so giving Wyoming the title. The two teams met again the following week in the major semi-final with Kanwal taking revenge and going straight to the grand final. Wyoming joined them for their fifth encounter of the season with a 3-1 win in the Final against Gosford City. The grand final was played at the new Central Coast (Northpower) Stadium. In a frustrating match Wyoming dominated for long periods of the match but some great goalkeeping by the Kanwal ‘keeper and successful counter-attacking saw Kanwal home by 4-1.

The Reserve Grade team, coached by Dave Boyd, went into the Finals with a long injury list and were narrowly beaten in both the major Sem-Final and Final. Despite the lack of success in the Finals, Ken Butt had brought a new confidence to the Premier League squad and began the groundwork for the squad’s future success. The three most successful teams of 2000, all taking out the league champions/premiership double, were the U13B team coached by Rick Parker, Laurie Morgan’s Girls U16Bs and the newly- formed Over 35s team, coached by Brad Dunn. The 13Bs went into the Finals series with an impressive 15-1 win/loss record that had seen them win the league championship. Their only loss had been against second-placed Killarney District and these two teams met in the major semi Final at Bloodtree Oval, Mangrove Mountain. As expected it was a tight encounter that ended 3-3 at full-time with two goals to Kyle Hay and Robert Bray. A scoreless golden-goal extra-time followed and then to a penalty shootout, eventually won 4- 3 by Killarney. Now forced to reach the grand final the hard way, they met Berkeley Vale. Wyoming looked set for an easy win when they scored within the first few minutes, but a broken nose to goalkeeper, Damien Jones, and a penalty equaliser to Berkeley Vale opened up the match. The brave goalie returned to the game after treatment and his courage spurred the Wyoming team on, quickly opening up a 3-1 win. They eventaually took out the match 4-2 with Kyle Hay again scoring a double and Michael Hourn and Robert Bray the other goal scorers. The grand final against Killarney District was as tight as the previous form indicated it would be. Robert Bray continued his perfect final series scoring record with his third goal in as many matches to give Wyoming the lead. Killarney equalised then with 15 minutes left on the clock Kyle Hay scored his fifth goal of the finals to again give his team the lead. A brilliant save by goalkeeper, Damien Jones, saved the match from going into extra-time and giving his team a well-deserved win.

166 2002 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

The Girls U16B competition was much tighter and despite losing nine of their 19 matches the Wyoming team, coached by Laurie Morgan, still managed to finish in first place after the competition rounds. Their major semi-final against Kincumber was tightly contested and after normal time the two teams remained scoreless thanks largely to Wyoming’s goalkeeper Jade Ede. Then just ten seconds into golden-goal extra time it was over as Sheridyn Fisher made a break from the kick-off and scored to earn her team a grand final berth. As expected Kincumber won the Final and the semi-finalists met again in the decider. The match went uncannily like the semi - nil-all at full-time and with Wyoming taking the match and the premiership early in the golden-goal period, this time with Sheridyn Fisher setting up the goal for Kylie Bauerhuit. Sheridyn’s talent and potential was recognised when she was awarded the CCSA U16 Girls Player of the Year The Under 14 Girls team was made up of a combination of girls from the Under 12 and Under 14 teams from the successful 2001 season. They dominated the first round of the competition with a string of ten straight wins before being held to a 1-1 draw against Budgewoi and even at that stage it was clear that these two teams would fight out the competition. A draw against East Gosford, followed and when the crucial return bout against Budgewoi went 2-0 to the northerners it effectively gave them the league championship. Poor finishing cost the Wyoming girls dearly in the first half of the major semi-final with Budgeowi scoring three second half goals to take the match 3-0. The Final, against Gosford City, proved to a tougher than expected match with a golden-goal to Renae Stone needed to take the match 2-1. Wyoming entered the W14 grand final against Budgewoi as slight underdogs having lost two and drawn one at their previous meetings. In a tight match it looked like the Wyoming girls could casue an upset but Budgewoi scored late in normal time to take the title. Due to popular demand an Over 35s competition had been introduced by CCSA in 2000 with matches played on Saturday afternoons, catering for older players still keen to play competitive

football but without the commitment required at higher levels. The competition grew rapidly and by 2010 had expanded to such an extent that there were five divisions with the lower four split geographically into North and South to reduce travel. Wyoming first entered the competition in 2002, with a team coached by ex-First Grader Brad Dunn. Showing their love of the sport the majority of the players chose to dual-register and play both on Saturdays in the Over 35s and then again on Sunday in the All-Age 5 ‘Dream Team’. Their commitment was tested late in the season when both teams qualified for the semi-finals, the O35s as league champions and the AA5s in third place. Both teams continued through into their respective grand finals with the 35s becoming Premiers and the ‘Dream Team’ runners-up. Despite winning 14 of their 16 competition matches, Wyoming’s U13As, coached by Bill Ballard, had to be content with second place behind league champions, and their closest rivals, Kincumber. Despite dominating the major semi-final Kincumber took the match 1-0 leaving Wyoming to face Umina in the Final. The match was scoreless through extra-time with Wyoming coming from behind in the peantly shootout for a 6-5 win. The boys finally got their revenge against Kincumber in the grand final, coming from a goal down with goals to Mathew McKinnon and Josh Mulligan, the second with just three minutes remaining, to take the title. The U10Cs finished the season on the same competition points as Doyalson but had to be content with second place with an inferior goal difference. The two teams met in the major semi- final and with the score at 1-1 after normal time David Settle scored with a lob over the goalkeeper’s head to win the game under the ‘golden goal’ rule. The team advanced to the grand final where they met The Entrance who had uspet league champions Doyalson in the Final. The team played their hearts out but had to be content with the runners-up award after losing 2-1.

170 2003 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

2003

he club had the second most successful season in its 40-year history in 2003 with 14 of its 29 competition teams reaching the semi-finals including six league championship and finishing Twith seven premierships, just two short of the nine titles won in 1983. The Club also had a record number of 630 registered players.The 2003 season also saw the Wyoming Premier League teams back in the top division for the first time since 2000 with a number of new players, a professional attitude, and a new playing strip. Star of the season was undoubtedly veteran coach Roger Smith who became only the third Wyoming coach to win two premierships in the same season, with the U11As and the U18As, the latter won at Central Coast Stadium. The U11As were one of only two teams to take out the league championship/premiership double. The U11A competition was dominated by Wyoming and Budgewoi throughout with the young Tigers team having a string of big wins (including 13-0 and 16-0 wins over Doyalson) and just one defeat on their way to finishing in first place ahead of Budgewoi. In their 16 matches they conceded just five goals. The major semi-final, played at Budgewoi’s home ground was typical of the matches played between the two teams. The crucial moment came midway through the first half when Luke Nield swung a corner into the box where it was hand-balled by a Budgewoi player. John Whelpdale converted the resultant penalty for what was to be only goal of the match. The grand final, played at Pluim Park, was, as expected, against Budgewoi. Prior to kick- off the team rolled out a 15-metre banner that read Special Teams Do Special Things at Special Times - It’s Tiger Time! And so it proved as they did courtesy of a clever lobbed goal from Blake Silvers early in the first half. Importantly, they continued to play football rather than going into a defensive pattern. Despite creating a number of scoring opportunities they were unable to close out the game. But the one goal was enough and the team capped a great season with the 16th win from 18 matches. Roger Smith’s second title of the season, with the U18s, took place at Central Coast Stadium where the the top grade senior grand finals were played in 2003. The team reached the decider the hard way after having finished Former Central Coast player Marcus Steele was one of the regular season in third place and so seven new signings as Wyoming returned to the Premier needing to win both the minor semi-final and League One competition after two seasons in the lower the Preliminary Final. This they did and so division. A new, professional attitude saw the met Killarney District in the decider. The introduction of an eye-catching all-yellow strip.

Wyoming’s 2003 Under 11A team had an outstanding season, winning the grand final at Pluim Park (above), then reaching the second round of the Champion of Champions trophy (right) and made sure that they thanked their supporters (below).

172 2003 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010 match ended even after extra time. The penalty shootout then went through to the fifth shot each before a save by Wyoming goalkeeper, Andrew Wells, allowed Neale McAndrew to score the winner. The club’s third ‘A’ grade premiership was in the Under 10 competition, the team coached by Phil Caira. Like the Under 18s they finished the competition in third place but improving steadily through the season and entering the finals with plenty of confidence. The first challenge, a minor semi-final against Kincumber, was overcome narrowly with a 1-0 win. Next up was the Final against Southern-Ettalong United, something of a unknown quantity with the teams only having met once during the season. Despite a number of close misses from both teams the game remained scoreless, firstly at full-time and then after 20 minutes of extra-time. After the first five shots in the penalty shootout the score was still locked, with each team having converted three times. Finally, after nine shots a spectaluar save by Ben Tawyer saw Wyoming home 5-4. The grand final, against league champions Terrigal, was another tight encounter. Although Terrigal had won twice during the season, the Wyoming youngsters had improved on each occasion. Several fine saves from Ben Tawyer allowed Wyoming to keep the match scoreless at half-time. With ten minutes remaining Terrigal’s defence gave away a corner. Reece Caira took the kick, which was headed away from the goal, back to Caira who scored what proved to be the winning goal. The U10A grand final was to be the last match in Wyoming colours for the talented Reece Caira. The following season he graduated to representative football firstly with the Central Coast U11s and subsequently in U12s to U14s with the Blacktown Club in Sydney. During his last year with Blacktown Reece travelled to England where he trialled with Premier League clubs Portsmouth, Aston Villa and Liverpool. In 2008 he was offered and accepted a place in the Aston Villa Youth Academy. Since mid-2009 he has been prevented from playing because of a ruling by Football Federation Australia (FFA) enforcing a FIFA ruling that prevents players under the age of 18 from travelling abroad to further their football careers. In an attempt to overcome the ban, Reece’s parents, Phil (the 2003 Wyoming U10 coach) and Julie (the daughter of Wyoming Life Member, Pat Ryan) moved to England to live but this has failed to sway FFA and as at mid-2010 it looks like Reece will have to wait until January 2011 before he can resume his extremely promising career. On a brief return to Australia in 2009 Reece trained pre- season with the Wyoming Premier League squad where he was presented with a club jacket before his return to England.

Wyoming’s U18As in action during extra time in the 2003 grand final against Killarney District at what is now Bluetongue Stadium. Wyoming went on to win the match in a penalty shootout, one of only two premierships that the club would win at the stadium. Coached by Roger Smith, the team would prove to be one of the best ever nurseries with eight members going on to play for the club’s Premier League squad.

174 2003 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

Another first for Wyoming in the 2003 season came when Ian and Yeoni Shute became the first father and son to each coach a premiership winning team. Father, Ian, already with two titles to his name, led the U18C team while son Yeoni coached the U13Ds. The feat would later be achieved, although not in the same season, when Ryan Marshall coached the 2007 Reserve Grade premiers and so joined father Eric, coach of the 1976 First Grade team. While the U10A, U11A and U18A teams all played tight and tense matches on their way to their premierships, there were no such concerns for Murray Peck and his U13B team. After winning 15 and losing just one match during the season they finished as league champions by a comfortable margin. They then totally dominated their major semi-final against Killarney District with Louis Kellerman scoring four goals on the way to a a 6-0 win. The grand final, against Ourimbah, proved to be a tougher task but once again the team’s class told and they ran out 3-0 winners, with Kellerman again on target with two goals. The season’s seventh premiers were an All-Age 2 team that included a number of former Premier League players including captain/coach Arul Iyer, Trevor Andersen, Ken Melvin and goalkeeper Andrew Bull. Mixed with these experienced players were an equal number who had never played before and another group who hadn’t played since their junior days. An up-and-down season saw the team win eleven (including a 23-0 win over an understrength Kanwal team) and lose four matches on their way to fourth place. From there they went on to win all three finals series matches and the premiership. The unluckiest team of 2003 was undoubtedly the Girls Under 14s coached by former-Australian representative Lisa Power, formerly Van Dorp. After going through the season undefeated, taking the league championship, then beating second-placed Wyong in the major semi-final, they fell at the last hurdle, beaten 2-1 by Wyong in the grand final.

The club’s three other league champions were the U12As, coached by John Roche; the U15Bs (Alan Bendeich) and Bill Ballard’s U14A1s. All three were beaten in successive matches to be eliminated after their respective Finals. It was a particularly hard way for the U15Bs to go being beaten on the golden goal rule in both matches. Following their success in finishing on top of the Premier League Two competition Wyoming returned to the top division in 2003. Ken Butt returned as First Grade coach with Barry Jones taking over Reserve Grade. A major recruiting drive saw the team reinforced with a number of new players. Leading the way was former Gosford City and Central Coast defender, Marcus Steele, who took over the captaincy. Other signings were ex-East Gosford striker, Brad Lewis; goalkeeper Matthew Collitts; and former Umina midfielder, Nathan Bedford. New sponsorships from The Grange and Richardson and Wrench ensured that the squad was supplied with new dress shirts and jackets and First Grade were kitted out in an all-new, very yellow playing strip. Right from the start of the season the First Grade team proved themselves to be competitive and in the third round pulled off a major upset with a 2-0 away win over arch-rivals Ourimbah, still comprised almost entirely of ex-Wyoming players. After looking set to make the semi-finals in their first season back, the team had a late-season slump which, despite a last-round win over Budgewoi, saw them miss the semis by just two points. The Club ran two Gala Days, one for Under 6s, the other the traditional one for Under 7s with Wyoming teams reaching the Finals in both competitions. The success of these events was largely due to the hard work of Gai Green and her team of volunteers. Another new initiative in the 2003 season was a Club Reunion held on Sunday 22 June 2003, at Alan Davidson Park, an event that would become a permanent fixture in the club calendar. The brainchild of Kevin Best, the annual reunions would be self-funded and run almost entirely by non- Committee volunteers to avoid over-burdening the already busy Committee members. The group included Kevin and Leonie Best, Frank O’Toole, Peter Frost, Alistair Kennedy and Bob O’Toole.

176 2003 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

Each Reunion would have a different theme, often coinciding with the anniversary of a significant event in the club’s history. The 2003 Reunion marked the 30th year of senior football, and it proved to be a huge success with 120 past players and officials turning up to talk about old times, to view a historical display and to watch the Premier League teams play their return match against Ourimbah. The ex-players formed a guard of honour as our First Grade took the field and the players in turn applauded them from the field. All this must have been inspiring to our players as they put on a very accomplished display to down Ourimbah for the second time in the season, this time 3-1. With three minutes to play and the match safely within Wyoming’s grasp the crowd launched into an impromptu singing of the Club’s victory song, followed by another with the players in the dressing room. The atmosphere at the ground, in the dressing room and at The Grange after the match indicated that the club’s senior team had clearly turned the corner and that the future was bright. Indeed, success was much closer than anyone dared to hope.

180 2004 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

2004

n analysis of Wyoming Football Club’s results over its 40-year history shows that, apart from a three-year period between 1979 and 1981, the club has never been able to dominate Aboth junior and senior competitions at the same time. From 1975 to 1981 the two senior teams won a total of eight premierships (five in First Grade, three in Reserves). They then went into a barren period that lasted for more than two decades (1982 to 2003) in which we won just two Reserve Grade titles before dominating the second half of the 2000s with a further six premierships between 2004 and 2009 (three First and three Reserve Grade). By contrast the club won ten junior ‘A’ grade premierships between 1972 and 1975; none between 1976 and 1978 when ‘The Pensioners’ were at their peak; but then won 28 ‘A’ grade titles in the 14 seasons between 1979 and 1992 winnings at least one every season. During this period the club could field strong teams in every age group from U10s upwards yet few of these players filtered through into the top senior grades. From 1993 onwards, although there were fewer successes, the club was still able to be competitive in most ‘A’ grades. The successes of 2002 and 2003, when five ‘A’ junior titles were won and the Premier League team began its revival, suggested that the trend may have been about to change however it was not to be and from 2004 onwards there was a steady decline in the standard of the club’s junior teams to the stage that in 2010 it could field just one ‘A’ grade team. For the second year in a row there was a new record number of player registrations, the total this time reaching 638. At one stage of the season it looked like Wyoming was in line to repeat, even improve upon, its successes of 2003 with 15 of its 30 competition teams qualifying for semi-finals, including five league champions.Unfortunately for Wyoming it was a season of near-misses. Despite having a record 11 teams playing in grand finals, a disastrous string of results saw the club finish the season with just two premierships, one in First Grade, the other in the U11E competition.

182 2004 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

Wyoming’s First Grade coach from the two previous seasons, Ken Butt, volunteered to step aside to allow John McLafferty to return to the position that he held in the mid-1990s. The smoothness of the transition between Butt and McLafferty enabled the players to quickly adapt to the style of the new coach and to continue the momentum from the two previous seasons. The 2004 Premier League squad was further reinforced with the addition of several high-quality players and the return of another. The most important signing was 32-year Pat Bradley. Born in England, Bradley had played briefly for the lower division club Bury, before coming to Australia in 1990 to play for Wollongong Macedonia in that club’s only season in the National Soccer League (NSL). He moved to Sydney the following year where he played for Blacktown City in the NSW State John McLafferty League before resuming his NSL career with Wollongong City in 1994. After another season at Blacktown he joined the Central Coast Coasties where he captained the First Grade team, under coach McLafferty, in the 2002/03 season. Also transferring from the Coasties was former East Gosford defender Aaron Binskin who re-joined two of his teammates from East Gosford’s 2002 grand final winning team in Damon Ainsley and Brad Lewis. The other important acquisition was former First Grade goalkeeper Andrew Bull, who after several seasons out of the game had returned to help Wyoming’s All-Age 2 team win their premiership the previous year. He replaced Matthew Collitts who had taken a job in Melbourne. McLafferty also expanded his coaching staff and was able to somehow entice former Southern-Ettalong United coach Lloyd Tait to the squad. Pat Bradley Tait’s positive support and outstanding technical understanding of the game proved to be a major component in the team’s success. Ken Butt stayed on as Reserve Grade coach and also helped out in an administrative capacity, while another former Wyoming and Ourimbah First Grade coach, Eric Marshall acted as an assistant coach. Last but not least was the manager Dave Boyd. The First Grade team started the season with a 2-1 win in the annual grudge match against Ourimbah followed with big wins over Budgewoi (5-3) and Kanwal (7-0) before being brought down to earth with a 4-0 thrashing by Umina. Despite losing just one more match during the competition rounds (2-1 in the return match against Budgewoi) Wyoming had to settle for second place behind East Gosford in the battle for the league championship. Premiers in 2002, East Gosford had moulded together a formidable team with a mix of youth and experience including an exciting 18-year-old striker named Matt Simon, an ex-Wyoming junior, who would go on to play for the Central Coast Mariners and for the Socceroos. By midway through the competition it was clear that Wyoming and East Gosford would fight out the 2004 Premier League title with nothing to pick between as they played out one-all draws in each round of the competition and then were locked on the same score at full-time in the major semi-final at Pluim Park, before an extra-time goal by Matthew Owen gave Wyoming the crucial first position in the grand final. A Matt Simon hat-trick was the highlight of the Final between East Gosford and Berkeley Vale, the 8-0 scoreline indicating the gap between the top two teams and the rest of the competition. The 2004 First Grade grand final between Wyoming and East Gosford, played at Bluetongue Stadium, is widely accepted as being the best game of club football to have been played on the Coast. Watched by a crowd estimated at between 2000 and 3000, including the coach of the new Central Coast Mariners A-League team, Lawrie McKinna, the atmosphere in the stadium was electric as the game kicked off. East Gosford dominated early and were rewarded when their veteran midfielder, Brett Margin, scored in the 33rd minute. The goal settled the Wyoming players’ nerves and they gradually fought their way back into the match but went to the half-time break with the score

unchanged. Eight minutes into the second half Wyoming equalised when a powerful shot by Aaron Binskin was parried by the East Gosford goalkeeper, Andrew McCracken, to the feet of Brad Lewis who volleyed the ball into the net Although both teams had chances neither could capitalise on them and the game went to extra-time and then to a penalty shootout. East Gosford’s first five penalty shots were successful as were Wyoming’s; taken by Damon Ainsley, Michael Kennedy, Brad Lewis (to a chorus of boos from the Rams supporters), Marcus Steele and Pat Bradley. With the tension at fever-pitch Andrew Bull then dived to his left and pushed away East Gosford’s first sudden-death penalty. It was then left to Wyoming’s Ryan Marshall to coolly send the ‘keeper the wrong way as he punched home the winner, risking a yellow card from referee Darren Sprod by taking his shirt off and spinning it around his head. The win ended a 24-year drought, giving Wyoming its first First Grade premiership since 1980 and would prove to be the platform on which a new golden era for the club’s top grade teams would be based. An interested spectator at the grand The club’s only other 2004 premiership was won by the final was the recently-appointed Under 10E team coached by Bruce Murch, one of five coach of the Central Coast Wyoming teams to finish the season as league champions but Mariners, Lawrie McKinna.

goal to Michael Johnstone-Buchan early in the second half effectively sealing the title. In something of an anti-climax the third goal of the match, and the team’s 64th of the season was an own goal. Equally impressive was the teams defensive record. They conceded just four goals in their 21 matches and, amazingly none in their last nine – the last goal scored against them was on the 19th of June, three months before the grand final! The season brought a sad case of deja vu for a number of members of Rob Blandford’s Girls U16A team. The previous season they had been in the Girls U14A team, coached by Lisa Power, that had gone through the season undefeated only to lose in the grand final. Now the same thing happened again. After becoming just the fifth team in Wyoming’s history to score in excess of 100 goals in a season, the 2004 U16As finished the season as undefeated league champions with 18 wins and three draws from the 21 matches. A 1-0 win over Budgewoi saw them through to the grand final, but as had happened a year earlier they suffered their only loss of the season, beaten again by Budgewoi. The coaches of the two successful U18 teams from 2003, Roger Smith and Ian Shute, returned in 2004 and both took their respective teams through to their grand finals. Smith’s U18As included a number of players from the 2003 team that were still eligible and the team went through the regular season undefeated conceding just seven goals in their 18 matches. They were then upset in the major semi-final, bounced back to win the Final but then were beaten again in the grand final. By contrast Ian Shute’s U18Bs lost six matches to just make the finals series in fourth place but then won both their semi-final and Final to reach the grand final. After finishing in second place Gino Di Candilo’s U15A team went straight to the grand final with a 2-1 win over league champions, but Kincumber had its revenge in the decider. The U12A, mostly comprised of the all-conquering 2003 U11As had a new coach in Paul Nield but were clearly the team to beat, finishing clear league champions with just one loss from their 21 matches. But as

185 TIGER TALES 2004

had become a trend with Wyoming teams they went directly to the grand final before also losing to Kincumber. Others to meet the same fate were Gary Armstrong’s U12Es, Rod Shearer’s Girls U12Bs, Ron Halls’ U11Fs and Adam Jackson’s U10Fs. While having 11 teams representing the club in grand finals was an outstanding effort, nine sets of The U11Es star striker Michael Johnstone puts away one of his 28 runners-up medallions left a goals for the season. This one was scored in the team’s 5-0 win over dampener on the season. Avoca at Alan Davidson Park. While every other Wyoming team had packed their boots away until February, the U15As season lasted almost until Christmas, as they headed off to Fiji to compete in the 2004 South Pacific Cup tournament. An invitation-only event organised by the Fijian Soccer Association, the Cup attracted teams from around the Pacific Island region as well as 2004 UNDER 11E – LEAGUE CHAMPIONS & PREMIERS from overseas.

Working just as hard behind the scenes were Deb Arnison and a number of other parents as they sought out sponsors willing to help subsidise the cost of the trip. The competition, played in Lautoka and Nadi, comprised 16 teams in groups of four with teams coming from as far afield as Dubbo, Brisbane and Sydney as well as local teams. In their first match the boys bdefeated South Fiji 3-1 in the morning, then had their second game of the day delayed for several hours as bad weather prevented the boat bringing the North Fiji team from departing. Although given the option of winning the match on forfeit the Wyoming boys agreed to wait, eventually winning the match 2-1 and moving through to the quarter-final stage. On Day Two they won their third match 3-2 in extra-time against South-West Fiji to progress to the semi-final against the Sydney club, White City. White City took an early lead and despite their best efforts Wyoming couldn’t score and went down 1-0. By this time the Wyoming boys had gained a big following among the locals and the respect was mutual as the tourists gave away much of their gear and equipment to help the poorer locals. It was a great effort and one that brought great credit to the club. The trip had been so popular that another was planned two years later with the boys now playing in the U18A team but entered into the U17 Southern Cross Cup. After another major campaign, led this time by Andrea Wasson, that successfully raised much of the required funds the trip had to be cancelled at the last moment due to the political instability which eventually led to the Fijian military coup early in January 2007.

188 2005 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

2005

wo thousand and five was a pivotal year both for Australian football in general and for the Central Coast in particular. It saw the commencement of the new A-League national Tcompetition and, surprisingly to many, the eight teams that it comprised included one from the Central Coast. There were two major reasons for the inclusion of the Mariners. Firstly, Football Federation Australia (FFA) decided that, because of the history of problems arising from teams being ethnically-based, each capital city would only be allocated one team. The second reason was that, courtesy of the failed Northern Eagles rugby league venture, the Coast had arguably the best mid-sized football stadium in Australia. The arrival of the Mariners was a major boost to the sport on the Central Coast, especially to junior players with dreams of playing at the highest levels, because for the first time there was now a clear career path from club to local representative team to the Mariners to Europe and to the Socceroos. The Wyoming club was fortunate because, in John McLafferty, they had someone closely affiliated with those at the top of the Mariners hierarchy including fellow Scots in head coach, Lawrie McKinna and his assistant, Ian Ferguson. In a coup for the club McLafferty was able to arrange a trial match between Wyoming and the Mariners at Central Coast Stadium on the evening

Prior to the start of the inaugural A-League season in July 2005 the Central Coast Mariners played a number of trial matches. One of these, and their first match at Central Coast Stadium was against the Premier League champions, Wyoming.

of Thursday 14 April 2005. Taking the field with his full First Grade team, including two major new signings in ex-Coasties players Daniel Surridge and Marc Falzon, Wyoming put in an impressive performance against a full-strength Mariners line-up, and trailed by just 1-0 at half-time. Mass substitutions and the superior fitness of the Mariners told in the second half and the A-League team ran away in the end to win the match 9-0. Nevertheless it was an unforgettable experience for the Wyoming squad, all of whom took the field at some stage of the match. Once again the club had a good representation in the various finals series with 18 of the 30 teams reaching the competition play-offs, including six league champions. Seven teams were defeated in semi-finals and two more in Finals meaning that nine teams reached their respective grand finals. Of these, three were ‘A’ grade junior teams (U13As, U15As and U16As), four junior lower grade teams (U10Cs, U13Ds, U16Bs and Girls 16Bs), one (U18As) a senior ‘A’ grade and the other the Mens All-Age 4s. While not as disastrous as the 2004 grand finals, when just two of eleven teams won, the 2005 tally of three wins and six losses was again disappointing. Nevertheless, the performances of the club’s junior team were good enough to win the Jack Atkins Trophy. The three Premiers of the season were the MAA4s, coached by Brett Farrell, Alan Bendeich’s U16Bs, both also league champions, and the club’s outstanding junior team, now in the U13As and with Roger Smith returning to coach the team again. Despite a relatively disappointing season in which they lost five matches and finished in second place, the U13As saved their best for last, winning their major semi-final 2-0 before thrashing Kincumber 4-1 in the grand final at the Central Coast Stadium. Sadly this exciting young team with

Three of the other four league champions were beaten in their grand finals. They were Roger Smith’s U18As, Gino Di Candilo’s U16As and Rob Blandford’s U16B Girls. The other league champion, Rod Shearer’s 14B1 Girls lost both their semi-final and Final. The other runners-up were the U15As (coached by Murray Peck), the U13Ds (Gary Armstrong) and the U10Cs (Gordon Millar). Following their breakthrough First Grade premiership the previous year Wyoming’s status had jumped and they were now seen as one of the teams to beat. In addition to the signings of Marc Falzon and Daniel Surridge, Dane Hokin joined the squad mid-season from Blacktown City while 2003 U18A player Keelan Austen returned after playing a season of Premier League with Terrigal. The major loss from the squad was Pat Bradley who succumbed to a nagging injury. Coincidentally, the First Grade team’s season began in an identical manner to 2004 with three straight wins followed by another visit to the team’s least favourite ground, Umina Oval, and another 4-0 loss. Two mid-season losses again denied them the chance of an elusive league championship and again they finished in second place, this time pipped at the post by The Entrance by a single point. However in a disappointing end to the season they were beaten 2-1 in the major semi-final before falling to a third successive defeat (1-3) to Umina in the team’s worst performance of the season One positive to come out of the Premier League season, and it was indicative of the growing depth in the squad, was that, for the first time since 1981 both First and Reserve Grade teams qualified for the semi-finals. After finishing in fourth place Reserve Grade were beaten 3-0 by The Entrance.

2006

ollowing Peter Bech’s retirement Wyoming started the season with a new president (Steve Grahame) and a new vice-President (Murray Peck). With the new men at the helm, the Club Fworked well with all committee members undertaking their duties. Late in the season work commitments forced Steve Grahame to resign and he was replaced by Murray Peck Once again the club had a high representation in the finals series with 18 of the 26 teams reaching the play-offs, four as league champions. Ten of the 18 were defeated in their semi-finals from which four were eliminated. Of the ten teams that played in the finals, only three were knocked out, leaving eleven teams contesting grand finals. The decline in junior strength was again apparent – only three of the 11 were from the junior ranks and only one of these, Murray Peck’s U16As were from the ‘A’ division. It was to be a disappointing end to the season for the new president, with both of the teams that he coached that year being beaten in their grand finals. His other team, the U13Bs did have the consolation of winning their league championship.The third junior runners-up were Michael Kennedy’s U10Cs who won their way through to the grand final from fourth place. It was an excellent year for Wyoming’s female teams. Of the four teams, three (Michael Heard’s U12Bs, Ben Farrugia’s U14Bs and Rob Blandford’s U18s) were league champions. If ever a team deserved a premiership it was the latter. In each of the two previous seasons they reached the U16A and U16B grand finals without losing a match only to go through the torment of being beaten both times in the decider. This time around they lost one match during the competition rounds before going down 7-6 to Kanwal in the major semi-final. The loss was all the motivation that the team needed and they bounced back with a tough 2-1 win in the Final before taking their revenge against Kanwal with a 3-0 win. Their achievements also won them the 2006 Presidents Trophy.

The 2006 Womens Under 18A team celebrate their 3-0 win over Kanwal in the grand final at Pluim Park. The premiership was an overdue for coach Rob Blandford and a number of team members who had been beaten in each of the previous two grand finals.

As league champions the W18s got the opportunity to compete in the statewide Champion of Champions competition. They received a first round bye, then defeated Padstow 3-0 before losing to the strong Manly Vale team in the quarter finals. A disappointing end to the season, but with the consolation of knowing that they were ranked in the best eight W18 sides in NSW. The two other girls teams, although both league champions were beaten in both their major semi-finals and Finals. In an impressive end to the season seven of the club’s nine senior mens teams qualified for grand finals, despite only one of them Scott McKinnon’s MAA7s, having been league champions including, for the first time since 1981, both Premier League teams. Of these nine teams, three would win premierships - Reserve Grade, All-Age 2As and All-Age 3s. The First Grade team was again coached by John McLafferty with Greg Preston taking over from Ken Butt as coach of Reserve Grade. A player with the club since he was seven years old, Preston had been forced to retire following the knee injury that had cut short his playing career during the 2004 First Grade premiership season. It was his first experience as a senior coach although he had coached junior non-comp teams in the late 1990s . Reserve Grade had a stuttering start to the season with six wins, Luke Gale, whose last- two draws and three losses from their first 11 matches, but then minute goal won the struck form with a run of five straight wins, scoring 17 goals and Reserve Grade premiership.

conceding none. A loss and draw in their last two matches slowed their momentum and left them in third place for the start of the finals series. A goal to Chris Large five minutes into the second half of the major semi-final against Umina was enough to put the team into the final three, before a comfortable 3-1 win over The Entrance in the Final set up a showdown against arch-rivals Ourimbah who had made the running for most of the season and finished as league champions. Wyoming however had saved their best form for the most important match of the season and in unseasonally hot conditions the young team gradually took control of the match and by midway through the second half a win looked inevitable. Even in their rare counter attacks Ourimbah never looked like scoring. With just one minute left a botched back-pass by an Ourimbah defender was swooped upon by Luke Gale who calmly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper for the winning goal. First Grade finished in second place behind league champions Umina with 14 wins, three losses and one draw. Umina stamped themselves as firm favourites for the premiership with a comprehensive 3-0 win in the major semi-final. Wyoming fought back with a 3-1 win over Killarney District in the Final. The kick-off for the grand final was delayed by a dispute about which team would need to play in their alternate strip with Wyoming eventually wearing their all-white second strip. Umina struck first with a goal in the 26th minute before Marc Falzon countered five minutes later with one of the best goals ever seen at Pluim Park, collecting a long pass down the sideline from Marcus Steele, then cutting infield at full pace and driving a sensational left-foot shot from a wide angle into the Umina net. The goal evened up the match which settled into a tight struggle from then onwards. Ten minutes into the second half Umina again took the lead and as the clock wound down looked like winners. However Wyoming again equalised, this time through Brad Lewis in the 82nd minute, and although Umina had a number of late opportunities to take the match a combination of desperate defence and luck kept the scores level at full-time.

Just two minutes into extra-time Wyoming took the lead for the first time through Keelan Austen and Umina looked headed for its second grand final defeat in succession. However this time Umina equalised ten minutes later and the match went to a penalty shootout. Unlike 2004 when Wyoming had a perfect six from six record, on this occasion two were missed leaving Umina to close the game out. Central Coast Mariners’ coach Lawrie McKinna was at the match and commented that “It was a high standard of football and two of the goals were high class. Marc Falzon’s goal for Wyoming was outstanding as was that from Umina’s Jason Stafford. It was a thoroughly entertaining game.” The 2006 Reunion, held in July, honoured the Ladies of the Club. All female Life Members and female Clubpersons of the Year were presented with special certificates. A Saturday evening Chinese Banquet was held together with the award presentation at the Grange Hotel after inclement weather had cancelled the scheduled First Grade game at Alan Davidson Oval on the Sunday. A Monday morning golf day was held at the Peats Ridge Springs course. Michael Kennedy took out the Senior Grade Player of the Year for the second time in his career while Sara Amaral was the winner of the Senior Womens Player of the Year. The Junior Player of the Year was Sean McLafferty (16A). Ken Butt was honoured with Life Membership for his services to the Club as coach and player with Rick Parker being awarded the 2006 Clubperson of the Year.

HIGH ACHIEVERS PETER MILLER was one of three brothers who all played junior soccer at Wyoming and then went on to play rugby union at a high level. He was a member of Steve Field’s outstanding team that went from U6A1s in 1983 through to the premiership-winning U11As of 1988. After his final season in the U12As of 1989 he switched to rugby union playing for the Gosford Rugby Club until the age of 20 when he joined older brother, Matthew, at the Eastwood club in Sydney. The following year he was selected in the Australian Sevens team where he was to play for the next four years, travelling the world with the IRB World Sevens competition and eventually captaining the Australian team. He was the first player from any country to score in excess of 100 tries and still remains the seventh highest of all time. He also represented Australia in Rugby Sevens at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester. In addition to Sevens, Peter also played two matches for the NSW Waratahs in 2002. In 2003 he moved to Japan to play professionally, originally for the IBM team and later for Nippon Steel, where he is playing what is likley to be his last season in 2010. Peter’s older brother, Matthew, played soccer for Wyoming in the 1980 U9As and 1981 U10As, also winning a premiership. His entire club rugby career was played at Eastwood where he captained the team for a number of seasons and is one of the most respected players. Like Peter, Matthew played two matches for the Waratahs, both against international opponents in Wales and Canada. The youngest of the three Miller brothers, Robert, played soccer for Wyoming in Under 6s and Under 9s, before following in his older brothers’ footsteps. He played for the Australian U19 and U21 teams and also for Sydney clubs Eastwood, West Harbour and Northern Suburbs.

204 2007 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

2007

yoming’s Premier League teams went into the 2007 season with three years of strong, consistent performances behind them. The First Grade team had finished second Win each of three previous seasons as well as having its breakthrough premiership victory in 2004 while Reserve Grade were defending premiers, having defeated Ourimbah with a last-gasp goal in the 2006 grand final. Despite these recent premierships the elusive league championship had continued to elude them, and it was now 29 years since the club had won what, in football terms, was the most important title. Much of the squad’s success was due to the professionalism and discipline which successive coaches Ken Butt and John McLafferty had brought to the club. Unfortunately for the club, a re-organisation at Central Coast Football (CCF) had formed a new representative club, now called Central Coast Lightning, and McLafferty was appointed as First Grade coach, at the same time continuing as a coach with the Mariners Youth Academy. While he remained committed to Wyoming, and stayed on as the club’s Senior Coaching Director, he had to step down as First Grade coach. His place was taken by rookie coach, Greg Preston, who had guided the club’s Reserve Grade team to the premiership in 2006. 2007 First Grade Four senior players, captain Marcus Steele, striker Brad Lewis, and Coach Greg Preston the exciting young talents Graham Toope and Ian McAndrew, followed McLafferty to Lightning. Importantly, all five went with the club’s blessing, and remained strong supporters throughout what was to be a long and arduous, but ultimately, stunningly successful season. In what was, in retrospect, a sign of the successes ahead the First Grade team took less than a minute into their opening match against Budgewoi to score their first goal with Marc Falzon slotting home a long cross from Ben Wallington. Although Budgewoi equalised, two goals in two minutes early in the second half gave Wyoming a 3-1 win. A come- from-behind 2-1 win over The Entrance gave the team further confidence and this increased week-by-week as they strung together a total of nine successive wins including a record-breaking 9-0 win over Terrigal at Alan 2007 First Grade Davidson Park, both the most goals and the largest winning margin ever Captain and Reserve by a Wyoming First Grade team. Grade Coach Ryan At the half-way mark of the competition the team already had a Marshall stranglehold on the league championship and although they dropped their first points of the season when surprisingly held to a 2-2 draw by relegation-bound Killarney District they were quickly back on track with a satisfying 5-0 victory over arch-rivals Ourimbah the following week. The Round 14 match against East Gosford at Hylton Moore Park on 22 July gave the team the chance to wrap up the league championship and when Neale McAndrew’s 85th-minute goal hit the back of the net to give the team a 2-0 lead the title had been won, remarkably with four rounds to spare. Although held to a 1-1 draw by The Entrance the following week the team won its last two matches and at the end of the competition proper the First Grade team’s record read: Played 17, won 15, drew two, lost nil, goals scored 58, goals conceded 13. They had won the league championship by a record margin of 14 points and with an amazing goal difference of plus-45.

Rain was to seriously disrupt the remainder of the season and the major semi-final against Budegwoi was delayed for a week and eventually played on the number two field at Pluim Park. Budgewoi dominated the match throughout the first half and Wyoming was lucky to reach half- time with just a 0-1 scoreline. However, as they had done all season, the team fought back tenaciously and the game gradually swung Wyoming’s way especially so when Daniel Surridge, returning from injury, took the field in the 59th minute. Surridge made an immediate impact, however with just 13 minutes left to play Wyoming still trailed by that single goal. Then a sensational goal from striker Marc Tarring levelled the scores. Running onto the ball from near halfway the tall and powerfully-built Tarring charged through the Budgewoi defence straight at goal before unleashing an unstoppable volley. With just seconds left before extra time Marc Falzon scored from a scramble in front of goal to take Wyoming directly to its third First Grade grand final in four years. Budgewoi returned as Wyoming’s opponents in the grand final which, with Pluim Park unplayable due to further rain, was eventually played at Pat Morley Oval, Bateau Bay with the match being in doubt almost until kick-off. Wyoming went into the game without Trevor Shute due to a knee injury suffered in the major semi-final, but in an indication of the team’s depth, was able to call up Paul Jones as his replacement. In less than ideal conditions the premiership decider was another tight, hard encounter with neither side able to dominate on the slippery, uneven field. Wyoming took the lead in the 37th minute when skipper Ryan Marshall drove a 30-metre volley past the Budegwoi defence to give his team a 1-0 lead. The remainder of the match continued as before with both sides missing scoring chances and with the tension increasing until referee Gordon Selkirk’s full-time whistle giving Wyoming a well-deserved premiership. Despite being defending premiers, the club had been unable to attract a coach to replace Greg Preston in charge of the Reserve Grade team. Initially as a stop-gap measure, First Grade captain Ryan Marshall, volunteered to take on the job. It was hardly an ideal situation given that he needed to leave the sideline midway through the second half of each match to prepare for his own game. But, like everything else in the 2007 Premier League season, it worked well. The two teams trained together throughout the season and formed a bond that carried them through numerous difficult situations.

206 2007 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

As First Grade league champions, Wyoming had automatically earned the right to represent the Central Coast in the All-Age division of the statewide Champion of Champions competition. After some discussion it was decided to take up the nomination despite a number of factors which would clearly reduce the team’s chances of success. First up, the Round One match against Nepean champions, Blue Mountains at Richmond, was held on the same day as Wyoming’s Reserve Grade grand final at Pluim Park. This meant, not only that the team couldn’t take any reserve players but that coach Ryan Marshall and at least one player, may have needed to leave the match early to ensure that they were was back on the Coast in time to prepare for the grand final. The decision to contest the Champion of Champions didn’t look like a good one, when after just twelve minutes Wyoming trailled 2-0. However the never-say-die attitude and confidence that had characterised the team throughout the season once again came to the fore and an 18th minute goal from Keelan Austen stopped the momentum of the classy, experienced Blue Mountains team. Then, with Michael Kennedy’s 37th-minute equaliser, the game swung Wyoming’s way and another goal from Marc Falzon midway through the second half proved to be the decider. The full-time whistle saw everyone scurrying to their cars for the trip to Pluim Park where Reserve Grade capped off a great day with their grand final victory over East Gosford. There were more problems for the Champion of Champions second round match with the game coinciding with the previously-arranged end-of-season trip to the Gold Coast. The team, without a coach and with just seven regular First Graders but bolstered by five Reserve Graders and promising Under-18 Sean McLafferty, travelled to South Granville to take on Granville champions, and 2006 Champion of Champions runners-up, Pendle Hill. Not surprisingly, expectations weren’t high but yet again the self-belief of the team was apparent. This time Wyoming took an early lead with a brilliant strike from Marc Falzon in the 13th minute. Pendle Hill equalised within minutes and, although the understrength Wyoming team dominated, the game eventually went through extra time to a penalty shootout. Ironically Wyoming’s two most dominant players during the match, Michael Kennedy and Ryan Marshall, missed with the first two penalties but despite this the team went on to take the shootout 4-3 with manager, Alistair Kennedy, providing shot-by-shot description to an enthusiastic group gathered around coach Preston’s mobile phone in a Gold Coast pub. The game was marred by a season-ending injury to Marc Falzon who finally succumbed to a niggling knee problem which would eventually require surgery and keep him out of the game until the 2010 season. Yet again there was a barrier to the team proceeding further with the quarter final match, against Beacon Hill, being scheduled for the day after the club’s Senior Presentation Night, although fortunately it was to be played at Pluim Park. But by now the momentum of the team had reached the stage where it didn’t seem to matter what problems there were, or who was or wasn’t able to play. This was a team that, quite simply, had forgotten how to lose. The season had now extended into October and in hot, energy-sapping conditions the match against Beacon Hill was yet another tough encounter. A goal in the 38th minute by defender Luke Hiscock gave Wyoming a lead which it held until the last five minutes when an unlucky own goal took the match into extra-time. With just two minutes separating the team from a second straight penalty shootout Marc Tarring headed home the winner, the tournament being played under the ‘golden goal’ rule. The team now had a fortnight’s break before the semi-final which was played at the headquarters of Football NSW, Valentine Park, Glenwood. The match was against typically tough Sydney opposition, in Fairfield Hotspurs. Again the weather was hot and humid testing the patience of players and spectators alike. A superb lob by Marc Tarring gave Wyoming the lead midway through the second half before Fairfield equalised. Again the match went through golden goal extra-time and on to a penalty shootout. This time however there were no hiccups and Andrew Bull’s save against the first Fairfield penalty taker proved decisive as each of Wyoming’s shots were successful. Unfortunately, the game was marred by an ugly incident involving spectators from both clubs which not only cast a pall over the match but which actually threatened Wyoming’s place in the

207 TIGER TALES 2007

final. However, following some frantic behind-the-scenes work by the Wyoming secretary, Alistair Kennedy, and president, Murray Peck, the result was eventually confirmed. The 2007 NSW Champion of Champions final was the first-ever to be contested by two non-Sydney teams, Wyoming’s opponents being Coffs City United. From the kick-off it was clear that this was the best team that Wyoming had met all season. A young, classy and talented team they dominated the first half hour of the match and looked the more likely to score. However, against the run of play, Wyoming took the lead in the 40th minute when a diving header from Ben Wallington beat the Coffs United ‘keeper. The goal spurred on Wyoming and from then on the match was evenly- contested. Coffs equalised in the 58th minute when a shot took an unlucky deflection and wrong-footed Wyoming goal-keeper, Andrew Bull. However it was Bull who had a final say with a sensational save in the last 10 minutes which would otherwise almost certainly have given the match These two photographs from the 2007 Champion of Champions to Coffs. Within minutes Wyoming final between Wyoming and Coffs United at Valentine Park scored its second goal when defender illustrate the defensive skills of Michael Kennedy (top) and the Paul Jones was on hand to deflect the attacking brilliance of Daniel Surridge (above). ball into the net from a goalmouth scramble. The last five tension-filled minutes dragged on interminably but the Wyoming defence held to give the club its greatest-ever achievement. So, a season which had started with some apprehension for the Wyoming Premier League squad, proved to be a stunning success. Their achievements remain unparalled in the history of Central Coast club football with the squad winning an unprecedented six titles: First Grade league championship, First Grade premiership, Reserve Grade league championship, Reserve Grade premiership, Premier League Club Championship and the NSW Champion of Champions title. To cap it off they were awarded the Team of the Year award at the 2GO Sports Starts of the Year presentation. The club’s third premiership for 2007 was won by the All-Age 7 team, giving Alan Bendeich his third title as a coach, having previously won junior premierships in 1997 with the U10Ds and again in 2005 with the U16Bs. The team had a mix of youth and experience, ranging from 19-year-olds Ilyas Arte and Dean Bendeich through to 60-year-old Bill Bulmer and they combined well throughout the season to finish on top of the competition ladder and so win the league championship with four losses from their 19 matches.

The major semi-final, against second-placed Mountains was always going to be a tough encounter but Wyoming played near their best, took their chances and won the first grand final spot with a morale-boosting 3-0 win. The defeat must have shattered Mountains because they were surprisingly beaten by Umina in the Final. With defeat in the 2006 MAA7 grand final still fresh in the minds of many of the players, the old adage “you have to lose a grand final before you can win one” was there to spur on the Wyoming team. As had been the case when these teams had met during the competition rounds the game was hard and physical, although unlike these earlier matches in this case the match had a referee and two linesmen to control things. After a tough first quarter of the match Wyoming gradually began to dominate and were rewarded with a goal to Jason Cottier late in the first half. Shortly after the break Dean Bendeich doubled the lead with a free-kick from just outside the penalty box. That broke the spirit of the Umina team and ill-discipline saw two of their players sent off in the last 15 minutes. A second goal to Jason Cottier gave Wyoming a well-deserved 3-0 win and capped off a memorable season. Although the Club was performing well at the senior level, there was concern that coaches of teams in the U5-U9 (non-competition) age groups were not receiving any training and, consequently, that players were not being given the chance to fully develop their football skills. A new inititiative was introduced by Kevin Best and Eric Marshall to try and address these issues. Called the ABC Junior Football Program it provided a structured training program with 18 skill exercises that players were encouraged to continually practice. Player skill levels were regularly measured and progress recorded from year to year. The Program also provided guidance and training for team coaches as well as advice and assistance to parents in the pathway for their child. By 2010 the program had proved so successful that five Wyoming players had been chosen in high-performance coaching clinics run by Football NSW and/or the Central Coast Mariners.

212 2008 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

2008

fter a number of years of ongoing debate the club finally made the decision to change its name to the Wyoming Football Club in line with the changes made in recent years at the A three higher administrative levels of the sport by Football Federation Australia (FFA), Football NSW (FNSW) and Central Coast Football (CCF). The establishment of the A-League competition in 2005 and its live television coverage had given the sport a significantly improved profile. While the battle to have the Australian public and media fall into line with virtually every other country in the world and accept that the name ‘football’ instead of ‘soccer’ is unlikely to ever be won, the name change throughout clubs and associations was a forward step. The Wyoming Football Club Committee was again led by president Murray Peck, who had a memorable season, coaching a premiership-winning team before having his many years of service formally recognised at the 2008 Annual General Meeting when he became the club’s 41st Life Member. In a major step forward the club was able to field a team in the Womens Premier League competition for the first time since the 2005 season. That latter team had finished last with just one win from 20 matches, however this time around the groundwork and recruitment, done primarily by Eva Horvat, would ensure that any team that was formed would be competitive right from the start. Horvat, who was the fiancee of Mens Premier Former Australian U19 player, Briony Holcombe (left), seen here in a League (MPL) First Grader, match against Gosford City at Alan Davidson Park, was the star signing Keelan Austen, was able to as Wyoming’s Womens Premier League team was re-formed in 2008. persuade a number of disaffected Central Coast Lightning players and players from other clubs to sign up for the new team. The big signing was 22-year-old Briony Holcombe. A member of the Australian Junior Matildas team that reached the quarter-finals of the 2004 Under 19 World Championships in Thailand, Holcombe added a level of class and skill to the team. Eva was also able to attract an experienced coach in Diane Farek, who as Diane Fathers, had played for Wyoming in the mid-1980s. Diane was the younger sister of Jeff and Norm Fathers who had contributed so much to the club as coaches of girls and womens team in that era. Unfortunately, illness forced Diane to step down as coach early in the season. Team manager, Kim Lincoln, took on the job despite her other commitments as Club registrar and coach of the U16B junior team. The WPL put up a creditable performance to finish in third place, from where they were eliminated following a penalty shootout in the minor semi-final. Importantly, through the groundwork of people like Eva Horvat and Kim Lincoln a strong platform had been laid that would lead to success in the following season. The MPL teams went into the 2008 season with the all-but impossible task of matching or bettering their stunning 2007 performances which had seen them take out the league championship/

213 TIGER TALES 2008

premiership double in both grades and also win the NSW Champion of Champions competition. Greg Preston remained as First Grade coach with veteran Paul Winspear, replacing Ryan Marshall as coach of the Reserve Grade team. The squad remained largely unchanged, the most notable additions being Dane Hokin, who had played in the First Grade team in 2005, and two young ex-Lightning players in Alex Burrell and Adam Woodbine. The major losses were Marc Falzon who was still recovering from surgery following the knee injury that had ended his 2007 season during the Champion of Champions competition, and Ben Wallington through university commitments Seven drawn matches from the 18 played severely limited the First Grade’s chances of defending their premiership. Even thought they lost just three matches the steady loss of points meants that they could only manage to scrape into the top four in fourth place. A disappointing season was capped off when they were beaten 1-0 in the minor semi-final by The Entrance. For the third successive season, and despite having won each of the previous two premierships, the Wyoming Reserve Grade team went into the competition with a new coach. A former representative player who had joined the club in 2006, Paul Winspear took on the job as player/coach. The team didn’t reach any great heights through the competition proper but still performed steadily, winning ten of their 18 matches on the way to finishing in third place. As defending premiers for the second year the experienced team entered the play-offs with plenty of confidence. By half-time in the minor semi-final, with a 3-0 lead over Umina, they had taken the next step, and although Umina fought back in the second half Wyoming always had a two-goal cushion to win the match 5-2 with Chris Smith, back at the club after a 15-year absence, scoring a hat-trick.

214 2008 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

The semi-final win meant that the Reserve Grade team had now won six straight finals matches. That became seven when they defeated Budgewoi 2-1 in a tough encounter on a barren Pluim Park pitch. A trademark Luke Gale long throw led to Wyoming taking a lead into half-time and when the in-form Chris Smith scored the team looked set for its third grand final, and although Budgewoi scored from the penalty spot with ten minutes to go Wyoming held on for a good win. For the second successive season Wyoming and East Gosford fought out the premiership and for the second successive season East Gosford went into the game as firm favourites. However, as they had done in 2007 Wyoming skipped away to an early two goal lead, this time with Tim Wallington scoring both goals. East Gosford countered with a series of attacks and had a number of narrow misses before they pulled a goal back. With Wyoming in defensive mode they were relying on counter attacks and with twelve minutes to go one of these paid off as Chris Smith scored his fifth goal of the finals series. Wyoming relaxed briefly and East Gosford bounced back to take the score to 3-2 but that was to be the final goal of the match, giving Paul Winspear and his Wyoming team a historic third straight Reserve Grade premiership. The performances of the club’s junior teams were generally disappointing. While two teams did win premierships, both were in lower divisions, U15B and U14D. Of the four ‘A’ Division teams only one, Bret Lomax’s U14A1s was competitive, finishing second before being beaten narrowly in both the major semi-final and final. Despite having finished third in the 2007 Under 14A competition, Wyoming U15 team was relegated to the ‘B’ division for the 2008 season. With only eleven registered players in the team coach Murray Peck had to consistently call upon players from the U14A1 team to back-up after their own match, often having to play in unaccustomed positions. Without this assistance it’s unlikely that the team could have done what they did. Defence was the team’s strength and they conceded just nine goals in their 18 matches in the competition proper with just one loss. The major semi-final against East Gosford ended 1-1 at full-time and so went to a penalty shootout. Both teams scored from three of their five shots forcing the game into sudden death penalties. Wyoming then scored again before goalkeeper, Matthew Peck, saved to take the team into the decider.

The U15B grand final, against Woy Woy, also ended in a draw, this time 2-2, and once again went to a penalty shootout. Woy Woy went behind when their second shot struck the post and deflected away, then when Matt Peck saved their fourth attempt it was left to Andrew Owen to wrap up the match and the premiership for his team. Steve Sutton’s Under 14Ds went into the finals series as undefeated league champions. Despite only playing 16 matches (for 15 wins and one draw) the team had the highest points total of any team in the club as well as the best goal difference (58 for, ten against). Then, in a major upset they were beaten 2-0 by Southern-Ettalong United in the major semi-final. A tough final followed, against Kariong, which they won 1-0 to win a second chance at the premiership. The grand final at Pluim Park 2, was played at a sweltering and energy-sapping 31 degree temperature. Down two players due to the game having been postponed from its original date two substitute players were called up from the U12C1 team. The game remained scoreless until, with just ten minutes remaining, Southern took the lead. Then, with just 40 seconds left Matt Baggott scored from a corner to give Wyoming a reprieve and take the match into extra time. With both teams now drained from the heat there was no further scoring, so sending the game to a penatly shootout. When Wyoming missed their third shot the game again looked lost as SEU converted each of their next two meaning that Wyoming’s goalkeeper, Daniel Benson, had to save Southern’s fifth penalty to keep his team in the match. Amazingly he did, taking the match into sudden-death penalties. When Wyoming’s Justin Grealey scored the pressure went on to SEU for the first time in the match. With his confidence high Daniel again pulled off a save to win the match for Wyoming and give them a well-earned league championship/premiership double Wyoming’s only other grand finalists for 2008 were the U10Es coached by Aaron Quill. After finishing in second place they went through to the grand final with a 1-0 win but were then beaten 2-0 in the grand final. With the 15Bs and 14Ds each finishing as league champions and Premiers the President’s Trophy was awarded jointly to these two teams.

218 2009 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

2009

lthough player numbers remained static the 2009 season saw more Wyoming teams take the field than at any time in its history, a total of 53. This apparent contradiction was explained A by the introduction of Small-Sided Football (SSF), a new approach adopted by Football Federation Australia (FFA) aimed at developing the skill level of players at the very youngest age groups. Under SSF rules teams would play on smaller fields with fewer players on the field so as to provide players with more touches and more time to control the ball. At the youngest age there would be no goalkeepers and the goals were small and portable. Although the adoption of SSF was mandatory, local associations did have some leeway in terms of the timing of the introduction. For the 2009 season Central Coast Football (CCF) chose to bring it in for age groups from Under 5 through to Under 7 only but for it to be progressively expanded year by year. Wyoming’s 53 teams were made up of 21 non-competition (U5-U9), 18 junior (U10-U17) and 14 senior teams. There had been a steady growth in senior player numbers in recent years and the 2009 total of 174 was the most in the club’s history so far. The disappointing performances from the club’s junior competition teams continued and of the 18 teams only five made the finals series, and none got past the finals. And while there were ‘A’ grade teams in five of the seven age groups, only one, Bret Lomax’s U15As reached the semis with most of the others finishing at or near the bottom of their tables. These performances were reflected in the 2010 gradings when the club had only one ‘A’ grade team for only the second time since the club’s first season in 1970 – and that year the club only had five teams. The U15As were in fact the club’s best-performed junior team, finishing in fourth place, then winning their minor semi-final before going down 3-1 in the final; and Rick Hogan’s U10Ds who

had similar results, winning 1-0 then losing 2-0. The U17Bs, U16Cs and Girls U12s were all eliminated in their semi-finals. Performances from the senior teams were better with eight of the 14 teams qualifying for play- offs, two (MAA2 and WPL) as league champions with both of the season’s two premierships coming from senior teams. Importantly though, the two titles came from the highest graded teams, with the club winning the Mens Premier League First Grade and Womens Premier League grand finals one after the other on the same day at Pluim Park. With its strong record over the previous five seasons, Wyoming’s Mens Premier League team went into the 2009 season as one of the favourites. Neither of the 2008 Premier League coaches, Greg Preston (First Grade) and Paul Winspear (Reserve Grade), stood for the positions and with no response to the request for applicants, two of the club’s leading administrators and junior coaches,

The win enhanced the already proud record of skipper Ryan Marshall (left, with coach Bret Lomax) and Michael Kennedy (right, with older son Ethan) . Both had played every minute of each of the team’s four major victories in the previous six years: the 2004, 2007 and 2009 Central Coast grand finals as well as the 2007 Champion of Champions final. It was Marshall’s sixth Premier League grand final (for five wins) and Kennedy’s fourth (for three wins).

220 2009 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

Bret Lomax (First Grade) and Murray Peck (Reserve Grade) volunteered to take the jobs with John McLafferty taking on a consulting role. The squad remained settled, the main newcomers being three ex-Lightning players, Darren Cooper, Jay Pilson and Rhys Snodgrass, and Nigerian, Christian Okonkwo, who came to the club from the Malaysian professional competition. After a protracted battle to gain a clearance Okonkwo left Wyoming after just three matches, eventually playing the remainder of the season with Kincumber. Okonkwo was quickly replaced by 24-year-old Eban Luland, who had a mid-season transfer from the Sydney club Inter Lions. After winning its first match against Doyalson 1-0, Wyoming went down by the same score against East Gosford before going on a six-match winning streak. By midway through the first round the competition had split in two with Berkeley Vale, Wyoming, Budgewoi, Umina and East Gosford in the top half and the other five clubs in the bottom. This remained the position for the rest of the season. Wyoming’s chances of taking the league championship slipped away over the next six rounds with losses to Budgewoi, Berkeley Vale and Umina and a draw against Kincumber. Indeed by the end of this poor run there was serious question mark over whether they could even reach the semi- finals. The situation looked even more serious midway through the first half of the team’s return match against Budgewoi at Alan Davidson Park when they went 2-0 down. This proved to be the pivotal point in the season. A goal to Daniel Surridge just before half-time reduced the deficit. The second-half resurgence saw Wyoming score five times to run out impressive 6-3 winners. The team then won their final three matches in the competition proper including a critical 1-0 last Wyoming’s 2009 WPL team was strengthened by round win over East Gosford at Alan Davidson the recruitment of former NSW junior Park that clinched second place. representative player, Kym Russell, and former Despite this strong finish by Wyoming, Ourimbah coach Ron Galea. Berkeley Vale remained firm favourites to take the premiership having finished five points clear as league champions and with just one loss all season. Their position became even stronger when they took an early lead in the major semi-final at Pluim Park 2. However the setback proved to be the spur that Wyoming needed and they fought back with three goals in 15 minutes to Darren Cooper, Alex Burrell and Eban Luland and then held out for the remainder of the match for a 3-1 win. Berkeley Vale defeated East Gosford in the final to set up a re-match in the grand final. This time it was Wyoming that took the early lead when two forward forays from defender Alex Burrell gave his team a 2-0 lead by midway through the first half. Again the Wyoming defence remained rock-solid and despite a few tense The return to Wyoming of one of the Coast’s moments during the second half they held on outstanding women players, Amelia Copeland, seen for their third First Grade premiership in six years. here scoring against Berkeley Vale at Alan The 2009 Wyoming Womens Premier League Davidson Park, was a major component in the (WPL) team was strengthened by a number of restructured WPL team. new players joining, or in most cases, returning

to the club many for the first time since the early 2000s. These including former NSW junior representative, Kym Russell, and one of the Coast’s best in Amelia Copeland. Other additions to the squad included Carisa Hoban, Rebecca Wales, Rebecca Stone, Zoe Milne and Vanessa Savidis. Also joining the club for the first time was leading WPL coach Ron Galea who had played a leading role in the development of the womens’ football locally. Galea had previously coached the Ourimbah WPL team, between 2001 to 2004, leading them to three league championships and three premierships as well as two victories in the Womens Association Cup. He was also a four-time winner of the CCF WPL Coach of the Year award. The team had a couple of early season setbacks with a season-ending knee injury to leading player Briony Holcombe in a pre-season match followed by a simialr injury that kept team captain, Jacinta Ling out until late in the season. Despite this the Wyoming WPL team dominated the competition with a string of wins, some by large margins, to take out the league championship with their only loss being against Budgewoi in the final competition round, and that through only through an own goal. In a tightly-contested major semi-final against Budgewoi, Wyoming scored within the first 10 minutes and then held on to take the match and first grand final spot. As expected the decider was a re-match against Budgewoi but this time the northerners grabbed the early advantage with a goal in the 30th minute. A crucial goal to Carisa Hoban had the teams go to the break all square. The crucial point in the match came early in the second half when a Budgewoi shot struck the crossbar and rebounded out. Within a minute Wyoming had taken the lead through a breakaway goal scored by Nicole Mackie that broke their opponent’s spirit. By midway through the half Wyoming had cleared out to a 4-1 win both scored by Carisa Hoban who brought up a rare grand final hat- trick. The win gave Wyoming its eighth Womens/Girls premiership since it entered female competitions in 1981 and its first in the top Womens grade since 1987. It was the club’s first WPL title and the first occasion that it had won both Premier League competitions in the same season. The Central Coast Express-Advocate’s back page headline ‘Double Delight’ summed it up nicely.

2010

ne major new initiative that took place prior to the start of the 2010 season was the creation of a new body, called the Wyoming Football Club Board. Membership of the Board was Oonly available to Life Members of the Club, and the rationale behind its establishment was to take advantage of their many years of experience, in some cases right back to the club’s formative years in the early 1970s. The inaugural WFC Board comprised Kevin Best (chairman), Dave Bowcott, Ken Butt, Eric Marshall and Bob O’Toole.Two further appointments, Peter Bech and Alistair Kennedy, were made in early 2010. Importantly, the Board would act purely in an advisory capacity and would not take any of the decision-making powers away from the Club’s Committee and the Annual General Meeting. The one exception was that it would act as an Appeals Board in any disciplinary cases on which the Club Committee had ruled. It would also act as a filter for all future Life Membership nominations, assessing such nominations in strict confidence before putting forward recommendations to the Committee. A number of other recommendations put forward by the Board, and accepted at a Special General Meeting held in July 2009, included the establishment of three new awards. Firstly was a ‘Hall of Fame’ to recognise the club’s most outstanding elite players, coaches and teams. Eight players were nominated by the Board and ratified by the Club Committee in June 2010. They were Kevin Best, Ken Butt, Joe Dalforno, Frank O’Toole, Bruce Phillips, Lisa Power (Van Dorp), Mal Tarring and Dan Wilkinson. The 1976 First Grade team, coached by Eric Marshall, was also nominated and ratified as the inaugural Hall of Fame team. Special presentations for all recipients were due to be made at the Club’s 40th Anniversary Dinner on 3 July 2010. Secondly the ‘Wyoming FC Medal’, another elite award for continuing outstanding service after the awarding of Life Membership. Nominations were being sought for presentation later in 2010.

Salah Omar receives a presentation Four Scholarships were awarded in 2010, all to players from 2009 Club President Murray who emerged from the same talented team and all of Peck as the first ever recipient of a whom won selection in the Mariners U8 Junior Wyoming FC Junior Development Academy. They are (left to right): Ronan Clements-Lee, Schoalrship. Ethan Kennedy, Kiall Whitcher and Jamal Shoaib.

225 TIGER TALES 2010

Thirdly, and most importantly for the future of the club, was a new Junior Development Scholarship. The Scholarship was designed to provide financial assistance to junior players between the ages of eight and 16 who demonstrated above average skills and keenness in the game and to encourage these players to remain in the game of football and to strive to play at the highest level possible. Nominees were chosen through an assessment program set up and operated by the ABC Coaching Program with awarding of the scholarship being dependent upon the players also being chosen for a higher level of coaching program The inaugural Scholarship was awarded retrospectively to 2009 Under 8s player, Salah Omar, who had been selected in the Central Coast’s Project 22 squad. Salah’s Scholarship was renewed in 2010, and four others added, all of whom had won places in the 2010 Central Coast Mariners Junior Academy. They were Ronan Clements-Lee, Ethan Kennedy, Jamal Shoaib and Kiall Whitcher. The year also saw a new president, the Club’s 17th, elected in Bret Lomax with Jason Cottier stepping up to become vice president. Alistair Kennedy and Diana Dyer remained as secretary and treasurer respectively. The club also passed a landmark with the registration of Wyoming’s 5000th new player, Max its 5000th new player. Appropriat ely enough it was a five- Dowling, with his father Ryan and year old, in Max Dowling, who achieved the honour and in WFC’s Junior Non-Competition recognition of this milestone Max was given free registration Representative Kevin Lee. for the 2010 season.

226 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

LIFE MEMBERS

No 1: CLIVE WENNERBOM

Clive Wennerbom was one of the “founding fathers” of the Wyoming Soccer Club. From the first informal meeting of interested parties at Alan Davidson Park, through the official formation process (where he was elected as the club’s first president) and for the next seven years, Clive gave his all for the new club. With fellow inaugural Life Members, Kevin Watson and Jorg Breitkopf, he formed the nucleus of the club during its formative years both on and off the field. In 1972 he coached the club’s first Under 6 team, taking them to two premierships in three years, before stepping down after their win in the 1974 U8 Association Cup. After travelling to Germany to watch the Australian team play in the 1974 World Cup Clive returned to coach son Anthony’s U12A and U13A teams in 1975 and 1976 respectively. The first in a long line of WSC/WFC people to become actively involved with the administration of the CCSA/CCF, Clive held the positions of Senior Vice-President and Chairman of Judiciary in the early 1970s, at the same time staying on for a total of six years as WSC president. In 1975 he became one of club’s three inaugural Life Members. A fitness fanatic, Clive was a member of the Central Coast Hash House Harriers, but tragically died in 1995 at the age of 59, after contracting a virus whilst on an overseas holiday.

No 2: JORG BREITKOPF

One of the Wyoming Soccer Club’s great characters, Jorg Breitkopf was heavily involved both as a coach and an administrator throughout the first decade of the club’s life. Born in Germany, he came to Australia while in his late teens, eventually settling on the Central Coast in 1971. That year, with his oldest son, Michael, showing an interest in playing soccer, he came to Alan Davidson Park and left shortly afterwards as the coach that that year’s Under 7B team. The majority of the team were young enough to remain in the same age group the following year and, with a blend of old and new players, Jorg was able to mould together a team which was to remain together for the next ten years and become one of Wyoming’s most outstanding junior teams. In 1972 they had the honour of winning the club’s first premiership. With experienced coaches at a premium in those early days, Jorg, with his background and knowledge of the game gleaned in Europe, was also an invaluable asset to the club in being able to assist many of the other, less experienced coaches. In 1979, Jorg, with six players from his club team, backed up for the Under 13 Central Coast representative team. The following year the players were faced with the choice of either playing club or rep. soccer. All six decided to stay with Jorg and play for Wyoming. The self-confessed ‘stirrer’ of the club committee, Jorg filled a number of positions during his years with the club including those of president (1975 and 1977) and vice president (1973, 1977 amd 1979. In 1975 he was elected as a Life Member.

No 3: KEVIN WATSON

Kevin Watson made a valuable contribution during the formative years of the Wyoming Soccer Club, both as a coach and as an administrator. As a coach Kevin started from scratch. Indeed when he first took over as coach of the 1970 Under 8 team he hadn’t even seen a game of soccer, let alone coached a team. Despite this he took that team to the 1971 finals (as Under 9Bs) and then to the Under 10B premiership in 1972. Promoted to A grade the following season they narrowly missed the semi-finals, before being beaten finalists in the U12A competition of 1974 – Kevin’s last season as a coach. Off the field Kevin was vice president in 1971, secretary from 1973 to 1975 and was an integral part of the management team that guided the club through the difficult early years of its life. A fine all-round sportsman in his own right Kevin was for many years a successful lower grade captain with the Narara-Wyoming Cricket Club and the Lions Baseball Club. No 4: KEVIN BEST

No single person has made a greater contribution to the Wyoming Soccer/ Football Club – indeed to the game of football on the Central Coast – than Kevin Best. For the past 35 years he has worked tirelessly in numerous capacities, including as a player, coach, reporter and administrator. Kevin began playing soccer at the age of eight with the Bankstown RSL club before joining Hurlstone Park Soccer Club the following season (1958). He remained with that club for the next 17 years as a player, coach and administrator. He moved to Central Coast in 1975 where he joined an ex-Hurlstone Park teammate Dan Wilkinson who had come to Wyoming the previous season. The following year Kevin became involved with the club’s administration, initially as the senior club delegate to the CCSA, later (1977) as social secretary and eventually as president, a position he was to occupy for nine years from 1978 to 1986. In 1982 when the opportunity to further develop soccer on the Central Coast through the formation of a local State League team Kevin and the Wyoming Soccer Club gave their full support to the project even though the club’s First Grade team was weakened significally through the departure of many of its best players to the new State League team. Kevin himself became the first chairman of the State League club, then was secretary the following year, before becoming minutes secretary of CCSA in 1984. From 1985 to 1997 he was the CCSA’s Marketing, Promotions and Publicity Officer providing, among other things, news on the sport to the local media. Kevin’s commitment to coaching ranges from Under 5s to First Grade, as well as at representative level. He has been the club’s First Grade coach on four occasions (1983 and 1987-89). In 2008 he introduced the ABC Coaching Junior Football Program to the club to try and improve the quality of players at the grassroots level. By 2010 five players from the Program had won places in the Central Coast Mariners Junior Academy. Kevin has received numerous awards for his contribution to football including a 1984 Australia Day Medal and the 1986 Central Coast Soccer Person of the Year. He has twice been the club’s Senior Player of the Year and twice the Clubperson of the Year, as well as the rare achievement of being a Life Member of three football bodies: the Hurlstone Park and Wyoming Soccer clubs and the Central Coast Soccer Association In 2010 he played an integral part in the formation of the WFC Life Member’s Board, having received that honour in 1979, and became the Board’s inaugural chairman. . 228 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

No 5: JOYCE BULLEY

Joyce Bulley is one of those dedicated women who, over the years, worked tirelessly behind the scenes to raise funds for the club as a member of the WSC Ladies Auxiliary. She was there in 1971 when the canteen was nothing more than a table under the trees at the southern end of Alan Davidson Park from which drinks, hot dogs and sweets were sold. Twelve years later she was still with the club as Catering Officer in the present building having seen the ‘old shed’ which had served as the canteen from 1972 to 1980 come and go. Joyce held a number of other official positions within the Ladies Auxiliary including president (1980-81), vice president (1973-74 and 1982). She also served on the main Club Committee as assistant secretary (1974-76), Catering Officer (1983) and Ladies Auxiliary Delegate, often attending three or more club meetings each month. One of the many parents to emerge from the outstanding junior team coached by Jorg Breitkopf, Joyce was the manager of the team in 1976 and later of the U7 and U8 teams coached jointly by her son, Bryan, and Phillip Robson. In 1980 Joyce and Leonie Best became the first women to be awarded Life Membership..

No 6: LEONIE BEST

Leonie Best, formerly Leonie Van Dorp, was one of the hardest-working and most effective administrators in Central Coast football Beginning as manager of the Wyoming U6A team of 1972, she joined the Ladies Auxiliary the following year before being elected to the important Committee position of registrar in 1974. Apart from a two-year break (1977- 1978) when she was the club’s Publicity Officer, Leonie continued as registrar until 1985 – a total of 10 years in the one position, and at a time when player registrations grew from about 150 to almost 600. Leonie also gained the distinction of being Wyoming’s first female premiership-winning coach when, after managing her son’s team again in 1973 and 1974, she then coached them to the 1975 U9A title. That same season she was also manager of the Central Coast U9 representative team. Leonie’s two children had outstanding football careers. Her son, Stephen Van Dorp, played a total of 14 seasons with the club, both in junior and senior teams, while her daughter, Lisa Van Dorp, is the club’s highest achiever having represented the Central Coast, Northern NSW and Australia. Like a number of other Wyoming officials Leonie graduated to CCSA where she became a long- serving member of the Association’s management team. Between 1986 and 1988 she served on both the Judiciary and Publicity Committees before taking over as CCSA Administration Officer and company secretary from 1989 to 1997. In 1992 she received an Australia Day Award for contributuions to soccer. In 1980 she became a Life Member of the Club, joined husband Kevin as the first of four husband and wife Life Members and is also a Life Member of the CCSA.

No 7: GRAHAM SMITH

Between 1976 and 1985 Graham Smith established himself as Wyoming’s most successful coach, taking one team from U6s to U16s, and winning five out of seven possible premierships. Prior to this he had coached senior teams to a further eight titles with the Concord and Manly clubs in Sydney. In his youth Graham had played football in the Sydney Churches competition as well as for the Auburn and Manly clubs. Off the field Graham was an integral part of the outstanding administration team which led the club throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, holding the position of vice president from 1978 to 1984. Following his retirement from coaching after the U16A grand final in 1985 Graham turned to refereeing as well as taking up a role in administration as the secretary of the Central Coast Referees Association, a position he was to hold for more than two decades.

No 8: BEDE HICKEY Local solicitor Bede Hickey was given an honorary Life Membership of the Wyoming Soccer Club in 1982 in recognition of him providing free legal advice and services to the club for a number of years.

No 9: PAULA ROBSON A leading candidate for the title of Wyoming’s Number One supporter, Paula Robson first paced the sidelines back in 1971 when the older two of her three sons began playing for the club. From then until the time of her untimely death in July 2004, at the age of 68, she rarely missed the opportunity to cheer her boys on as they graduated from junior to senior football. Between them Jamie (playing his 35th year with the club in 2010), Phillip (25 years) and Matthew (21 years) have played at total of 81 years for Wyoming. But Paula was always much more than just a spectator. Like so many other parents who were associated with the outstanding Jorg Breitkopf team of the 1970s she became totally involved with the running of both the team in particular (she was manager from 1971 to 1975) and the club in general for many years. In the latter area she was a hard-working and dedicated member of both the Ladies Auxiliary and the general Committee from 1973 to 1983, serving as Ladies Auxiliary vice president (1973), president (1973-1974) and treasurer in 1975. Paula was elevated to Life Membership in 1982 and was later followed by both Phillip (in 1991) and Jamie (in 2004). They are the club’s only mother and son Life Members.

No 10: JILL SMITH

Jill Smith remains the longest-serving secretary in Wyoming’s history having occupied that position for nine years between 1978 and 1986. She took over the job at a difficult time with the club going through a transition period following the retirement of most of the ‘old guard’ from the Executive and a period when, for the first time, there was a decline in the number of player registrations. Together with the new president, Kevin Best, Jill provided the stability, drive and sheer hard work required to check this decline and to attract new players to the club. The extent of their success was such that team numbers grew from 17 in 1977 to 41 in 1983 with a then record number of 585 registered players in the latter year. Apart from the ‘normal’ work of a club secretary, Jill became the publisher, editor, typesetter, printer and distributor of the club’s new monthy news bulletin ‘Tiger Tales’ which first appeared in 1978. The increase in the size of the club meant that there was a similar increase in both the size and circulation of the bulletin. Despite this Jill was able to produce it month after month for the next nine years. Jill Smith’s services to the Wyoming Soccer Club were recognised with the awarding to her of the Clubperson of the Year award on three occasions (1979, 1983 and 1984) and in 1982 she joined husband Graham as a Life Member. When son Stephen left Wyoming to further his football career at representative level Jill, joined the CCSA Committee and again rolled up her sleeves and got to work. In 1989 she was voted the CCSA Soccer Person of the Year and was later elected as a CCSA Life Member, one of five people to win dual Life Membership of both club and Asscoation.

No 11: STEVE FIELD

In his 15-year association with the Wyoming Soccer Club Steve Field made a significant contribution to the ongoing success of the growing club. A Life Member and the only four-time winner of the prestigious Clubperson of the Year award, Steve served on the Club Committee for a total of 13 years including five years as Club president. As outstanding as Steve’s administrative contributions were, it was coaching which was his first priority. Between 1980 and 1988 he coached 14 teams in a total of 254 competition matches. Despite having no soccer background – he was a sufficently good rugby league player to represent Canterbury-Bankstown in the Jersey Flegg competition. Steve adapted quickly enough to soccer to guide the 1980 U9A team to a premiership in his first season as coach. Between 1983 and 1987 he coached two teams per season with eight out of nine teams making the semi-finals. More importantly he was able to develop the skills of a large number of young players, including many that began in Steve’s Saturday afternoon ‘kindergartens’ in the early 1980s and went on to play representative football.

No 12: PETER FROST One of the Wyoming Football Club’s great personalities, Peter Frost served the club, and the game of football, in every possible capacity – as a player, coach, administrator and referee Unlike the majority of the club’s early senior players, most of whom came from Sydney, Peter played all his football on the Central Coast, beginning as an 8-year-old in the early 1950s with The Entrance club. He retired from the game with the same club in 1967 before making a comeback with Wyoming in 1978. The highlight of his playing career with Wyoming came at Gavenlock Oval in 1983, where he was a member of the club’s ‘Thirsty Thirds’ team which took out the Third Grade ‘B’ premiership. Between 1980 and 1983 Peter coached Wyoming’s leading ‘B’ grade team to a succession of near misses, being runners-up in the U9 competition, finalists in U10s and runners-up again as U11s. Off the field, Peter was a prodigious worker, both for Wyoming and for the CCSA. One of five people to be awarded Life Membership for both bodies he was the CCSA Junior vice president (1983- 1985), Judiciary Committee chairman (1985-1987) and a member of the Qualifications Committee (1988-1989). At Wyoming he was senior delegate (1980) and assistant registrar (1981-1984). Peter was awarded Life Membership in 1984.

No 13: NORM WOODS

Like most people Norm Woods’ first contact with the sport of football came when his son began playing the game. Norm was heavily involved with the Wyoming club during the first half of the 1980s as a coach, Committee member and player. Starting as coach of son Brett’s U6A team in 1980, Norm joined the Club Committee in the same year as the senior delegate. In addition to coaching that junior team through until 1983 Norm assisted the club by also coaching the U16B girls team (in 1981) and the U7B2 team in 1985. Becoming ever more involved Norm began playing himself in 1982 as player/coach of the Wyoming Third Grade team, reaching the competition final that year, before going on to take out the 1983 premiership and 1984 league championship. Norm’s contribution to the club was recognised at the 1985 Annual General Meeting when he was awarded Life Membership.

No 14: MARK PORTER

The first Wyoming Soccer Club player to be awarded Life Membership, Mark Porter made his debut shortly before his sixth birthday, with the U7A team of 1970. Apart from the 1977 season, when Wyoming was unable to field a team in the U13 age group, and 1991 when he had a season’s break Mark played a total of 21 years including a number of seasons in First Grade. In addition, between 1973 and 1976 played junior representative football for the Central Coast Mark played for three seasons (1981 to 1983) in the club’s U19 team where he was an integral part of the 1982 premiership-winning team.

232 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

No 15: STEVE FRAME

Steve Frame first played for Wyoming as a member of the 1973 U10A team. The following season he played for East Gosford but rejoined Wyoming in 1975, remaining with the club for 20 of the next 22 seasons. A genuine striker (he always wore the No 10 shirt) in the classic mould, Steve shares the club’s goal-scoring record – 12 goals in the U15As 19-0 victory over Ettalong in 1978. In the early 1980s he emerged as one of a handful of young players considered talented enough to replace the ageing ‘Pensioners’. The highlight of Steve’s playing career came in 1982 when he was a member of that season’s premiership-winning U19 team. Steve began coaching while still in his teens and during the following years established himself as one of the best young coaches on the Central Coast. Between 1980 and 1995 he coached a total of 15 teams in a variety of age groups, showing his versatility by coaching both high and lower grade junior teams, womens teams and lower grade senior teams. Ten of his teams reached the semi-finals with two (the 1991 U14As and 1992 U13As) winning premierships. Another personal highlight came in 1992 when Steve coached the Kanwal First Grade team to victory in the Premier League Two grand final at Bluetongue Stadium. It was a bittersweet moment for Steve – the team that they defeated 4-1 was Wyoming. Steve continued to coach Kanwal in the Premier League competition until 2008 when he stepped down to follow his son, Ryan, as he took his first steps into representative football.

. No 16: MARIE FROST

With husband, Peter, sons Garry and Glen, and daughter Paula all playing for the club at various times it was inevitable that Marie Frost would become involved with the Wyoming Soccer Club. The epitome of the quiet achiever Marie served on both the club and CCSA Committees for most of the 1980s. Known affectionately as ‘The General’ she was the WSC Catering Officer and canteen manager for five years (1984 to 1987 and 1990) and was Registar in 1989. At Association level Marie was chairman of the Match Committee between 1988 and 1990 where she was unfortunate enough to encounter two of the wettest seasons on record, and consequently had the difficult task of rescheduling a countless number of matches as round after round was washed out. As with most tasks that she took on Marie handled the crises with a minimum of fuss and every match was eventually played, some after having been rescheduled up to three or four times. Marie was awarded Life Membership in 1988, joining the Bests and Smiths as the third husband/wife Life Members. No 17: PAT RYAN One of Wyoming’s most popular coaches, Pat Ryan, first coached back in 1975 when he took that season’s U6A1 team to the competition final. Always willing to help out a team in trouble, over the next 18 years he would coach a total of 19 mostly lower grade, teams taking a club record 14 into semi-finals. After taking over the Wyoming U19 team in 1984 Pat moved to the senior ranks as Reserve Grade coach between 1985 and 1987, before going back to the juniors with the 1988 U12B1 team. 1989 was Pat’s best season. He coached one junior (U13B2) and one senior (Third Grade) team taking both minor semi-finals through to there respective grand finals, both surviving penalty shootouts on the way. Unfortunately the fairytale ended there with both teams being beaten in the deciders. 233 TIGER TALES

A Committee member in the mid-1970s Pat was a regular attendee at meetings throughout his years with the club, and was always willing to assist wherever and whenever required. His many contributions were recognised in 1989 when he became the club’s 18th Life Member. In 2010 Pat remains a regular visitor to Alan Davidson Park to follow his grandsons, while he closely follows the career of another, Reece Caira, a Wyoming junior player and now one of Australia’s most promising young footballers, as he pursues his career with English Premier League club, Aston Villa.

No 18: DAVE GOY Dave Goy was a long-term senior player for Wyoming from the time that he joined the club in 1977 through until his eventual retirement, at the age of 41, in 1988. Like many quality players who were with the club in the 1970s he could have played First Grade with most other clubs on the Coast, but chose instead to play Reserve Grade at Wyoming. A tough but fair central defender Dave made an immediate impact winning the Reserve Grade Player of the Year award in his first season. Twelve years later he ended his final season in the same way, this time winning the Third Grade Player of the Year award. During his career he captained a number of his teams. While he was perhaps best known as a senior player Dave Goy was also active off the field both as a junior coach and also as a regular member of the Club Committee. In only his second season as a coach he took an unfancied ‘B’ grade team from the bottom of the table as the 1988 U13Bs to the final of the 1989 U14B competition. Dave was awarded Life Membership in 1989.

No 19: BOB O’TOOLE

A member of one of the Wyoming Football Club’s most respected families, Bob O’Toole has been actively involved with the club for almost 35 years, firstly as a player, later as a coach and currently as a member of the new WFC Life Members Board. Bob played his junior football in the Sydney Protestant Churches competition and later with the famous Apia-Leichhardt club before playing seniors with Pyrmont-Balmain and Broughton United in the Sydney Amateur League. In 1975 he and his family moved to the Central Coast where Bob resumed his career the following year with the Wyoming Reserve Grade team. As with most members of the Wyoming lower grade team of that era Bob would undoubtedly have made First Grade with just about any other club but he opted instead to play with the new club. Bob first coached in the 1981 season and had immediate success, his U9C team losing only one match on their way to the premiership. Over the next six years that same team, which included future First Graders Jarrod Mobberley, Luke O’Toole and Greg Preston, remained largely intact through to 1988, winning a further two premierships including the 1986 U14A competition. From 1989 to 1996 Bob coached one of the many exciting young teams that the club was starting to produce. In three seasons the team were runners-up as 1989 U10As, joint Premiers as 1990 U11As before securing the league championship/premiership double as the 1991 U12As. This team would also supply a number of future Premier League players including Adam Deane, Damon Ainsley, Stephen Bech, Scott Snodgrass and Greg Herzog. Bob’s final years of coaching came in 1998, when with the Premier League teams struggling to avoid relegation he coached both First and Reserve Grades.

No 20: MARLENE BAILEY

Marlene Bailey is the second longest-serving secretary of the Wyoming Football Club, her term of eight years, being just one short of that of Jill Smith.

. 235 TIGER TALES

No 23: PHIL ROBSON The second of three sons of Eris and Paula Robson, Phillip has been involved with the Wyoming Football Club for all but one of the 40 years of the club’s existence. He first played as a five-year-old in the 1971 season and was a member of the outstanding junior team coached by Jorg Breitkopf in the 1970s and early 1980s. He later graduated to the club’s Premier League teams where he played on and off until 2000. Phil also coached both junior and senior teams and served on the Club Committee between 1992 and 1995, including one year as vice president. Although no longer actively involved with the Club he has remained a loyal supporter and has never lost contact. He was awarded Life Membership in 1991.

No 24: GARRY SMITH Garry Smith was involved with the Wyoming Soccer Club between 1983 and 1992. He was a junior coach for seven years, winning premierships in each of his last two seasons, with the 1991 U13As and the 1992 U11Ds, the latter team also winning the league championships. Off the field Garry was a Committee member for six years between 1987 and 1992 including terms as the Club’s treasurer (in 1987), vice president (1988-1989), Publicity Officer (1991) and assistant registrar (1992). Garry was the 1988 Clubperson of the Year and he was awarded Life Membership in 1992.

No 25: PETER MORRISON The Wyoming Football Club’s longest-serving Committee member , Peter Morrison, served for a total of 23 years between 1985 and 2007, only stepping down when he left the area, and even since the move he has stepped in to help whenever asked. Peter also holds the record for the longest period in one Committee position having been Club registrar from 1986 to1997 and then again from 2003 to 2007. At the same time he was the womens representative on the Football Committee from 1995 to 2005. To cap it off he was Club president in 1990 and 1991. Peter was also the manager of son Daniel’s junior team from 1984 to 1990 where he gained a reputation as the author of the club’s most entertaining ‘Tiger Tales’ match reports. He then managed daughter Katrina’s Under 16 Girls teams in 1994 and 1995 as well as senior Womens teams right through until the time he left the club in 2007. With his calmness and commonsense approach to everything he was a stabilising influence when the inevitable Committee conflicts occurred and he was universally popular throughout the club. An indication of Peter’s commitment can been seen by the fact that he continued to serve for a further 15 years after being awarded Life Membership in 1992. .

236 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

No 26: DON SIME More commonly known as ‘Flash’ (no-one knows, or wants to know, why), Don Sime was a tireless worker for the Club in the 15-year period between 1985 and 2000. During this time he coached a total of 20 teams, more, by a large margin, than any other person in the club’s history. Most of the teams played in lower grades where they struggled to find coaches and Don was always willing to help out. Two of his teams, the 1994 U10Cs and 1997 Girls U13s, went on to win premierships. Don also played for 13 seasons, often as captain/coach, in lower grade senior teams for 13 seasons. Behind the scenes he served on the Club Committee for seven years between 1993 and 2000, including one year each as President and vice president. Don was awarded Life Membership in 1997. No 27: BRIAN MOTTRAM Another who combined playing, coaching and administration, Brian Mottram was a member of the extended Corless/Bray/Kayes family that has been heavily involved in the Wyoming Soccer Club for more than 25 years and which has added a true passion for the game often missing from Australians. Brian played for more 20 years, starting in the Reserve Grade team of 1983 and going through until the 2005 Over 35s. He was an excellent coach of young players making the transition from junior to senior football, mentoring a number of such players as coach of the 1995 U18As the All-Age 1 team from 1996 to 1998. From 1994 to 2000 Brian served on the club Committee, as secretary in his first year and for the majority of the remaining period in the challenging position of chairman of the Football Committee. During this period he played a major role in attracting new sponsors to the club at a time when funds were desperately needed. Brian’s services to the club were recognised when he received Life Membership in 1998.

No 28: PETER BECH

Peter Bech played a major role in re-establishing stability to the Club’s administration following five years of unrest and changes in personnel during the early 1990s. The father of two sons who began playing with the club in 1983 Peter’s first involvement was helping with the ‘Kindergarten’ coaching program aimed at helping pre-school aged children prepare for football the following season. In 1993 Peter first joined the Club Committee and immediately took on the onerous job of canteen manager, and did it so well that he was awarded that year’s Clubperson of the Year award. After serving one more year as canteen manager he became secretary in 1996 a position he held through until 1999 when he became Club president, where he remained for a further six years. In addition for all but two years between 1996 and 2009 he doubled up as the Club’s Marketing and Promotions Officer where he was instrumental in attracting some major sponsors to the club. At various other times he has been registrar, Groundsman, Football Committee Chairperson and CCSA Delegate. Like a number of Wyoming club members Peter’s commitment extended to Association level and after a number of years as the club’s delegate he was elected as the CCSA Director of Properties from 1999 through to 2004. In 2010 he remains actively involved with the club as an assistant Coach with Kevin Best’s ABC Coaching program and a member of the WFC Board. He has also stepped in to assist in coaching a number of non-comp and junior teams. Peter and his wife, Rhonda, were both elected as Life Members in 1998. . 237 . TIGER TALES

No 29: RHONDA BECH One half of the Club’s fourth husband-and-wife partnership to be awarded Life Membership, Rhonda was a cornerstone of the vital canteen operations for more than a decade. Indeed she would remain a regular assistant there right up to the present time whenever help was required and was frequently there to help train incoming canteen managers and workers at the start of each year. Equally importantly Rhonda was the only person in the club capable of silencing her frequently over-enthusiastic husband when everyone else had failed. Her sharp cry of ‘Peter!’ would invariably bring instant silence. The mother of two long-serving players for the club she was also manager of several teams during the 1980s. Rhonda and Peter each received their Life Membership in 1998.

No 30: DAVE BOWCOTT One of only two people to win the prestigious Clubperson of the Year award in consecutive years, Dave Bowcott joined the Wyoming Soccer Club in 1989 when his younger son, Greg, first played. An excellent coach of non- competition players, Dave coached five Under 6 and Under 7 teams between 1993 and 1999 and assisted in many of the club’s Summer Coaching clinics. In 1994 he joined the Club Committee, and although not holding any formal position such was the quantity and quality if the work that he performed he was awarded with the first of his two Clubperson of the Year awards. In each of the two following years he took on the demanding position of Fixtures Officer, then between 1996 and 1998 he was vice president, before taking over as President in 1999. After a one-year break Dave returned to the Committee in 2001 as senior representative on the Football Committee and was again vice president in 2003 and 2004. After stepping down from the Committee he was manager of the Premier League Reserve Grade team in 2005 and 2006. He received his Life Membership in 1999.

No 31: IAN SHUTE

Another of the Club’s great characters, Ian Shute has had more players to follow than just about anyone else during the 20-year period that he has been involved with the club. Between them his four sons (Yeoni, Trevor, Aaron and Derek) and daughter Saryna have played for Wyoming for a total of 54 years. Only the Robson family can claim more. However, such was Ian’s commitment to the Club that he missed the opportunity to watch many of his childrens’ matches because of various obligations that required him to attend matches at Alan Davidson Park. For many years Ian had the thankless job as groundsman with the early starts and late finishes that the job entailed as well as being Football Committee chairman on five occasions. Later he took on the responsibility of being the Licencee and operating the bar for all home Premier League matches, often combining this by acting as ground announcer where his natural sense of humour came to the fore. Universally popular, Ian was a dual winner of the Clubperson of the Year award and was awarded Life Membership in 2000.

No 35: JOHN McLAFFERTY A leading contender for the accolade of Wyoming’s best-ever coach, John McLafferty emigrated from Scotland to Australia in the mid-1980s. He lived and played football on the Northern Beaches before moving to Narara in 1991. The following year he joined Wyoming as a player and in 1993 he took over as coach of the Reserve Grade team and quicky established a reputation as a high quality coach when his team took out the 1994 Reserve Grade premiership. For the next two years he coached Wyoming’s First Grade team where, despite the team finishing in fifth place, he was awarded the CCSA Coach of the Year award in 1996. John graduated to representative coaching, initially with older junior teams, then working his way up until he became the Central Coast First Grade coach from 2001 to 2003. John returned to club coaching in 2004 taking over the First Grade team to the club’s first top grade title in nearly 25 years. More importantly he established a culture of professionalism, removing potentially divisive players from the squad and so bonding together a group of players that would go on to dominate the local competition for the next six years. Commitments to both Central Coast Lightning and the Mariners has severely limited the amount of time available to club football in the recent years but nevertheless he has made himself available whenever possible and has been the club’s Senior Coaching Director since 2007. John was awarded Life Membership in 2004.

No 36: DAVE BOYD Dave Boyd has been closely involved with the Wyoming Premier League squad throughout the period that it has dominated the local competition, beginning as coach of the 2002 Reserve Grade team that won the Premier League Two league championship. Previously he had been manager of the 1998 All-Age 2 team and he returned to that role with both Premier League teams between 2003, when the Club returned to PL1, and 2008. Even though he stepped down from that position he was always on hand whenever anything needed to be done. Dave also provided an important link between the club and its major sponsor, The Grange Hotel, where he organised the fortnightly fund-raising raffles. He became the Club’s 36th Life Member in 2007.

No 37: JAMIE ROBSON The oldest of three sons of Eris and Paula Robson, Jamie is the club’s longest- serving player and is currently playing in his 35th season with Wyoming, seven seasons more than his nearest rivals. He first played in the Club’s second season, 1971, and continued through until the U16As of 1979. After missing the next three seasons to play Australian Rules he returned to the club in 1983 in the Third Grade team. He missed just two of the next 28 seasons and in 2010 is still playing in the Club’s Over 35 team. Jamie was also a junior coach (1999 U14Cs) and served on the Club Committee in 1993. In 2004 Jamie became the third member of his family to become a Wyoming FC Life Member joining his mother Paula (1982) and younger brother Phillip (1991).

240 THE HISTORY OF THE WYOMING FOOTBALL CLUB 1970-2010

No 38: KEN BUTT One of the finest players to ever represent Wyoming, Ken Butt played for the Sydney Prague club in the NSW State League, before moving to the Central Coast in 1976. He immediately joined Wyoming and was a member of the First Grade team that dominated local football for the following five years. Following his retirement as a player in 1984 he returned as a junior coach of son Shane’s U7 and U8 team between 1987 and 1988, then again as the Under 18s coach in 1999 Arguably, Ken’s greatest contribution came following the Premier League team’s relegation to the PL2 competition in 2000. After failing to win promotion in 2001 Ken took over as First Grade coach leading the team to the league championship, and a return to the top grade in 2002. After a moderately successful 2003 season Ken was able to convince John McLafferty to return to club football in 2004 and ensured such a smooth transition that, in just their second season back, the First Grade team was able to win its first premiership since 1981. Ken continued as Reserve Grade coach in 2004 and 2005. Apart from his work on the field Ken and John were able to establish a new professional attitude to the Premier League squad that was a major factor in the squad collecting a total of six premierships in the six years between 2004 and 2010 – three in each grade. Ken received Life Membership in 2004 and became a member of the WFC Board in 2010.

No 39: ERIC MARSHALL

The Marshalls are another of the Wyoming Football Club’s leading families with Eric being a successful senior coach in three different decades, wife Val serving as secretary and winning the 1977 Clubperson of the Year, and three sons who played a combined total of 33 seasons with the club. The younger of the three sons, Ryan, has been one of the dominant players in the Club’s recent Premier League successes. After a number of seasons away from the Club, including one as Ourimbah’s First Grade coach, Eric returned in 2004 as a member of John McLafferty’s coaching team that helped the First Grade team take out that year’s premiership. He remained involved as an assistant MPL coach through until 2006. Since 2008 he has worked with Kevin Best in the ABC Coaching Program aimed at improving the skills of U5-U9 players.
