4 President s Report After such an outstanding 2013 season and the 150th This year the Club also won its 11th consecutive year club celebrations, the club was focused on Club Championship and 10th consecutive Colts Club maintaining momentum going into the 2014 season. So, to start the year with a solid win against East Brisbane Tigers in the Australian Club Championship in Brisbane in March, was extremely pleasing. The game however was not without its casualties as we lost Liam Winton in a season ending injury just after half time, as Championship. Slightly more confident of victory in the Colts Club Championship, the Club Championship came right down to the final round of competition. The ability for all teams to dig deep and lift consistently to higher levels at the end of an incredibly long season is why I remain so proud of our club. No team did this better than our second grade side who secured a well as two of our new grade recruits Michael Tyler and place in the grand final by beating the then undefeated James Hadfield. These injuries had a real impact on Eastwood side. the club throughout the season. The club won a number of trophies within the 1st Grade competition, including the David Brockhoff Cup, Cutler/Tooth Trophy, White Ribbon Cup and Dick Thornton Cup. Quite an achievement! Overall, I am delighted with the achievements we First Grade with White Ribbon Cup secured throughout the NSW Club Rugby Competition. David Mortimer congratulates boys on victory at the Australian Club Championships Whilst we stumbled at the final hurdle of winning 1st Grade, 2nd Grade and 1st Colts, each of these teams performed well and here is much to acknowledge from all our players and coaches at the club. In of the 7 teams contest the Grand Final with four teams winning their respective Premierships: 3rd Grade Henderson Shield We have again been able to demonstrate why we are known as one of the leading rugby clubs in Australia, but we will continue to strive for improvement and 2015 will be no exception. REPRESENTATIVE PLAYERS Each year the club continues in its fine tradition of providing the game of rugby with exceptional representative players. In 2014 ten players were named in the Wallabies, including Peter Betham, Sam Carter, Nathan Charles, Israel Folau, Bernard Foley, Ben McCalman, Nick Phipps, Paddy Ryan, Will Skelton and Laurie Weeks. This year the Australian U20s squad played in New Zealand against Samoa, Argentina, England and Italy. After a strong 2013/2014 Colts season, four players from the club were selected to play in the tournament; Angus Pulver, Tom Robertson, Matthew Sandell and Johnny Vaux. Heartbreakingly Johnny Vaux sustained a significant injury just prior to departure but as a testament to his character he remained so positive and it was great to see him around the club throughout the season. The club looks forward to seeing Johnny back next year fighting fit. The club was also represented around Australia in all but one of Super Rugby franchises by 24 players. Here at SUFC, we see this as a mark of our success as a club and are proud to watch them develop into even better rugby players Sevens Rugby continues to grow each year and SUFC is proud to have former club players representing both Australia and America. Ed Jenkins (C) and Greg Jeloudev both represented Our coaching team is to be commended on nurturing such fine rugby talent and I am delighted that in the 2014/2015 Super Rugby preseason we have new representatives training with three of the franchises; James Dargaville with the Brumbies, Sam Talakai at the Reds and Henry Clunies-Ross and Jim Stewart at the Waratahs. All players had a great 2014 season and I am confident they will go onto higher honours. VOLUNTEERS Each year I make mention of the wonderful work our club volunteers do and this year is no exception. The club could not operate without these dedicated people giving up their time to assist in our rugby program. Be it coaches, managers, ball kids, statisticians or water carriers, all are vital and truly valued by everyone at SUFC. As an acknowledgement to a former volunteer and the volunteers still at the club we held Rounders Day when the club played Eastern Suburbs. Sadly in 2013 we lost Stephen Rowntree but his work has not been forgotten. It was very special to be able have 4th Grade Henderson Cup Australia in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and Nick Edwards captained America in various the Rowntree family at the ground on the day and partaking in the official naming of Rounders Shed. 2nd Colts 3rd Colts Shell Trophy Bill Simpson Shield SUFC NSW Under 20 s at selection tournament for Australian Under 20 s international tournaments. We will watch with great interest during the Rio Olympic Games in 2016 when Sevens makes its debut. I would also like to thank Angus Jackson and Tony Mulveney for their work on the finance side of the club assisting our General Manager each month. 6 Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report 7

5 Our ball kids are some of our most dedicated volunteers at SUFC Lastly the Dill-Macky s deserve a special mention as it has become a family affair on game days. Sue and Jessica man the front gate and merchandise stand and Digby has become Ash Miller s new side kick on the scoreboard. Thanks to each and every one of you for outstanding service. SUFC FULL TIME STAFF The club remains very fortunate to be represented by such enthusiastic full time staff. At the end of the 2013 there was a big changeover in administration staff. Sarah Dill-Macky joined the club in February as Operations Manager and was joined by Hannah Catchpole as the new General Manager. These two formed a great partnership quickly and successfully took on all challenges thrown at them this season with great gusto. I look forward to the 2015 season their continued enthusiasm to continue the club s success. Our three full time coaches, Jack Farrer, Chris Malone and David Haigh have been become a tight working unit and strive to get the best from the players at all time. I congratulate them on their efforts this season. At this point I sadly announce the departure of our Director of Rugby Jack Farrer. Jack has been with the club as a coach for five years beginning his time at the club at Director of Colts. As with so many of our coaches Jack is a former SUFC player who has consistently given back to young players coming through the ranks. The club wishes him well in his new endeavours and thank Jack for the dedication he has given to the various roles he has held during his time at SUFC. Jack leaves the club with a significant list of achievements on his record and we hope he will return home after he completes his travels and further development plans overseas. SPONSORS In 2014 the Club welcomed Urbanest and Oracle as Premium Sponsors of the Club. We hope these relationships continue for many years to come. Our club sponsors are so important to the program we provide for our players. Thanks to each of you on behalf of the club and the players. My thanks as always go to Tony and Josephine Sukkar at Buildcorp. One of the longest sponsorships in rugby Buildcorp has been a club sponsor for 23 years and their passion for rugby and SUFC is to be admired. Two players, David Hickey and Byron Hodge, have benefitted from your support off the field with internships which shows your commitment to developing great players. TRIVETT FINALS LUNCH 2014 provided another successful luncheon with some 750 SUFC enthusiasts in the great ballroom at The Westin Hotel on Friday 25 July. It remains one of the largest rugby lunches in Australia and a highlight on Master of ceremonies, Vince Sorrenti, and key note speaker, The Hon. Joe Hockey at the 2014 Trivett Finals Lunch SUFC Full-time staff for 2014; Jack Farrer, Hannah Catchpole, Chris Malone, Sarah Dill-Macky and David Haigh many a social/ business calendar. Again former SUFC back to the drawing board to see how we can do better players gave up their time to be part of a spirited panel in Our entire preseason program has changed and our guest speaker another SUFC alumni The Hon. and the boys are attacking it with such enthusiasm. My Joe Hockey gave a rousing speech. thanks go to Tom Carter for developing a new program It was wonderful to again have the support of Trivett as which strives to challenge all our players and set us sponsor of the luncheon and I thank everyone for your apart from other clubs in what is constantly becoming continued support. We must also thank our parents, a more difficult race. members, old boys and sponsors who attended the lunch. We are equally lucky to have supporting this new IN CLOSING program our Strength and Conditioning coaches, Tim Leahy and Tristan Sharp, and ably supported by our Five club members this year were awarded University Medical team, Dr Katherine Rae, Dr Stuart Pavely and Blues/Golds.

6 General Manager s Report I must admit to a few nerves before starting at Sydney Gear Steward, Ed Walgien our passionate Colts players to take the step up to Grade level. Tristan University Football Club in March this year. After three Manager, Stephen Barrow and Evan Hoskins our Sharp our Colts Strength and Conditioning Coach years of working in Australian Rugby for the Melbourne Rebels I knew full well the reputation of the club for success across all playing grades and the level to 1st Grade Managers and Bruce China Lin with his quirky match reports to name but a few, have been stalwarts at the club for many years now. They give deserves special mention for consistently getting 30+ young players into the gym at 6am three days a week! which it operates both on and off the field. It is steeped in history, has an amazing playing record and very passionate supporters. After my first week I knew I had made the right choice. This was a club I definitely wanted to be part of, and after completing my first season I can say I hope that is the case for many more years to come I hope. My first opportunity to see the 1st Grade team in action was up in Brisbane at the Australian Club Championships. Despite testing my nerves at times we came away with the win, defeating East Brisbane 19-14, and could carry the trophy back with us to Sydney. Unfortunately we also went home with some significant injuries as well Liam Winton being one that must be mentioned. A season ending injury he has not been far away from the club as he completes his rehabilitation on his knee. He is often seen on the sideline encouraging the boys and offering words of wisdom. His strength in the forward pack has been missed by the 1st Grade team this year. I hope we see him back playing next year. up their time throughout a long season, two nights a week and all day on a Saturday to ensure seven grades of players have the best opportunity to win on the field. Ash is often found pottering late at night in Rounders Shed getting the kit ready for the teams with the help of his trusty sidekick Max. Two new volunteers also require special mention (in fact their entire family if I am honest) Sue and Digby Dill-Macky. Trying to find people to give up their Saturday s will always be a challenge but they are so eager to help. Ash has taken Digby under his wing as official scoreboard operator (a challenge at the best of times to keep that old clock going!) and Sue is the welcoming face at our grounds on game day manning the ticket and merchandise desk. She also bakes up a mean chocolate brownie for the boys after they have finished playing! I thank all our volunteer support staff. Your passion, dedication and ability to pitch in does not go unnoticed. The club day that gave me great pleasure to organise was Rounders Day, where we acknowledged not only the one year passing of SUFC Volunteer Stephen David Mortimer and the Rowntree Family outside The Rounders Shed cheering for the boys. It was no surprise to look up and see Nick Phipps or Bernard Foley having a chat with the younger players on their days off from training with the Waratahs. Nick always offers up his time to attend any event to help the club. Our annual Finals Lunch was attended by so many former players and our discussion panel was made up entirely of past players across the 7s and 15s codes. Panel favourite Nick Edwards was honoured to be asked to speak and jumped on a plane to be in the country in between training sessions for USA Rugby 7s. On our Juniors Day, Michael Hodge and Liam Winton wrestled 30-something under 5 year olds into some sort of organised chaos to teach them the basics of rugby. They were a hit for the afternoon and I plan to lock them in for next year s Juniors Day! SUFC is incredibly fortunate to have such long serving sponsors. Our sponsors are more than just sponsors. They genuinely want to help our players. Major sponsor Buildcorp provides support both on and off the field and has done so for the last 23 years. This season Grade players Bryon Hodge and David Hickey secured internships with Buildcorp enabling them to work, study and most importantly still commit to their rugby. Ralph s Café once again supported our Elite Development Program and ensured 1st Grade were ready for all their games with the traditional pre match meal. We welcomed new sponsors Urbanest and Oracle to the SUFC and look forward to many years to come. Urbanest were delighted to sponsor our Friday Night Football this season for our game against Randwick and we hope together to grow this night fixture next year. Our Finals Lunch was once again generously sponsored by Trivett and it was a highlight to have the two cars in the room for the day and a McLaren placed on the field during semi-finals. Throughout the season we had two SUFC sponsor functions kindly hosted by KPMG and Concierge Travel Group. The club couldn t operate without the support of its Students celebrate win at Australian Club Championships in Brisbane Behind every great sporting team is a great team of support staff and SUFC is so fortunate to have such an excellent group of volunteers. Ash Miller our great Rowntree but all our SUFC volunteers. Our biggest crowd of the year it was a tough round against Eastwood for the club. All the Rowntree family were in attendance and Rounders, Jaguar even made its first trip out of the mechanics to be placed centre stage on the field in front of the Grandstand. It was great to have Catriona ring the bell like her father did on a game day and Heather help to hammer in the new plaque officially naming Rounders Shed. One of the things which has left a lasting impression on me this season is the loyalty our SUFC past players have to the club. Often our Wallabies and Super Rugby players would be down at the ground For a new person to Sydney I have certainly been challenged finding my way around the city to get to the various clubs for away games, starting with a lengthy trip out to Penrith. It is however the games played by the Colts at St Paul s I enjoyed the most this year. To watch rugby in the sunshine in front of such beautiful buildings is hard to compete with. The Colts, although not quite getting there in 1st Colts, have had a terrific season winning the Colts Club Championship and both 2nd and 3rd Colts. The coaches of 3rd Colts are to be commended as their team did not lose a game all season. All our Colts coaches do a terrific job in preparing our younger sponsors. On behalf of SUFC I thank all our sponsors. I have been exceptionally lucky in my support in the rugby office. Sarah Dill-Macky is outstanding in the role of Operations Manager for SUFC and wants nothing more than to see the players succeed off the field. Her background in teaching has meant she is able to offer advice to our young players around study options and having played sport at a high level herself she can relate to the stresses they often find themselves in throughout the year. Sarah s attention to detail is second to none and her ability to power through work has made this year run so smoothly. It would also be remiss of me not to mention Tom 10 Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report 11

The experienced staff we are someone of Tom s calibre at the club when we look fortunate to have at SUFC continually look for ways to recruit new players. to educate themselves and pass on this knowledge and expertise to the players. The elusive seven from The person I would like to thank this year most of seven is within reach and we will strive to reach this all is our Club s President David Mortimer AO. The target in the future. work he does behind the scenes and the support he gives to all the full time staff never ceases to amaze I am excited by what 2015 holds and can t wait for the me. I always like to watch when a new player meets pre-season to begin! David for the first time as they are so shocked to know that David already knows their name and their playing history. David comes to every match, home and away, every club function and so willingly gives his time to see the club continue on its path to success. If David can assist a player in any way he will without question. I have learnt so much from David in such a short space of time and will be forever grateful for the opportunity he has given me to work at this great club. I am pleased to report the Club has recorded a modest surplus of $7,674 for the year ending 31 October This is a very pleasing result given the additional pressures the budget was subject to this year. The Club is in a strong financial position and remains debt free. Total income for the year was $1,329,350 down 17.9% on the previous year. Increases in Home Gate and Sponsorship (up 6.1% to $487,563) were offset by decreases in Grants and Donations (down 9.2% to $442,071), Affiliation income (down 11.6% to $77,239), Fundraising Activities (down 41.7% to $314,440) and Other (down 82.5% to $8,037). Total expenditure for the year was $1,321,675, down 18.3% on the previous year. Increases in expenditure were incurred in Rugby Operations (up 1.2% to $714,925). These were off-set by savings in Administration Costs (down 8.1% to $256,779), Marketing and Promotion (down 61.8% to $7,982), Development (down 17.8% to $133,925), Fundraising Activities (down 83.7% to $202,928) and Other (down 83.7% to $5,137). With the carry forward of net positive retained surpluses from previous years, the Club remains debt free and is in a sound financial position. The Club s robust financial position is due to the contribution and efforts of many. The Club is indebted to the continued support of its major sponsor, Buildcorp, as well as the long list of associate sponsors and sponsors. The Club is also grateful for the support of Sydney University Sport and Fitness, the Sydney University Football Club Foundation, the Friends of Sydney University, as well as the Club s Gold Members and supporters. The contribution of these organisations and key stakeholders is greatly appreciated. This collective support is essential in ensuring the Club is in a strong financial position to provide the infrastructure, facilities and programs necessary to support the players and coaches and is a key factor in maintaining the Club s on-field success. I also wish to acknowledge the great work and leadership provided by Hannah Catchpole in her first year as the Club s General Manager. Hannah was well supported by Marketing & Events Manager, Sarah Dill-Macky. Thank you also to Tony Mulveney for his contribution to the Finance Sub-Committee and the support of the finance team at Sydney University Sport and Fitness. Finally I would like to take this opportunity to thank the President, David Mortimer for his leadership of the Club once again this year. Angus Jackson Vice President In 2014 we won the Club Championship and the Colts Club Championship, 2nd and 3rd Colts, 3rd and 4th Grade. Four grades out of seven. Most teams would be ecstatic by this result and whilst we as a club are delighted to retain the Club Championship, we are already in planning mode to improve and be Tom Carter and First Grade thanking SUFC supporters Hannah Catchpole General Manager 12 Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report 13

9 SUFC Foundation Report Friends of SUFC Report Conn Droulias and team on sideline at Australian Club Championship in Brisbane The Sydney University Football Club Foundation was established in 2003 to ensure the survival and ongoing prosperity of the Club to the highest level. To support this objective a donor program was established and has subsequently run over the past 11 years. The proceeds from this program have accumulated into a dedicated capital fund, the balance of which currently stands at just over $2.9m. In accordance with agreed practice a portion of the Fund s investment earnings are distributed annually to the Club for the specific purpose of supporting the players to achieve the highest levels of success in both their academic and sporting endeavours. The Sydney University Football Club Foundation is pleased to announce that the capital fund totalled $2.85m at 30 June The Fund is professionally managed and invested by Ord Minnett Ltd in accordance with approved categories of Australian Equities and interest bearing securities, term deposits and cash under the overall direction of the Foundation s Investment Committee. Our continued thanks, not only go to the Investment Committee for their time and effort during the year, but also to Paul Reid and Tony Mulveney of KPMG who kindly donate their time and expertise to the Foundation to manage and complete the accounts. The 2014 financial year was mostly positive for stocks due to low volatility, low interest rates and the low base set by a weak end to FY13. The performance of the Foundation Fund for FY14 was 11.7% after fees, with the Fund returning 48.39% over the past 4 years. This amounts to an annual cumulative return since 1 July 2010 of 10.07% per annum, which is a strong and pleasing result. As a consequence, the net earnings of $365,775 for the year to 30 June 2014 were in line with the strong result achieved in 2013 ($375,278). After providing for the reserves necessary to preserve the capital value of the Corpus of the fund, this has in turn enabled the Foundation to once again make a final distribution of $100,000 to the Sydney University Football Club for the 2014 year. The distributions made to the Club since the Foundation s inception now totals approximately $865,000. Over the past 18 months, close to $750,000 in new donations and bequests have been pledged. On behalf of the SUFC Foundation, I would like to thank the generosity of our valued donors. It is important to note that the needs of the Sydney University Football Club will continue to grow and the support of many more donors is needed. Please help the Club continue to provide the on and off field benefits many of you have enjoyed. All funds raised go a long way towards allowing the Foundation to continue to support the Club and help it to meet any challenges that come its way in the future. The 2014 year has once more seen changes at a Foundation Board level. Following the retirement of Peter Hemming in 2013, David Kirk MBE was appointed during the year as a Director and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Board. Further additions and retirements will continue over the next 12 months as part of the Board s renewal program. In closing, the Board of the Foundation is proud of the achievements to date and looks forward to continuing to engage with the numerous and generous supporters of the Club over the coming years ahead to ensure the fine traditions of the Sydney University Football Club are preserved for many future generations. It continues to be an honour to Chair the Foundation Board and build on the excellent platform laid by the late David Clarke. I look forward to this legacy continuing to grow and ensuring the Foundation continues to support the broader goals of the Club. Cameron Clyne Chairman, SUFC Foundation James McMahon eludes a tackle supported by Hugo Dessens The Friends of Sydney University Football Club was established in 1996 by Peter Hemming with a group of 20 businessmen. Now the Friends comprises over 50 senior businessmen and professionals who, because of their interest in rugby and their desire to assist SUFC, have made a commitment to mentoring the players of the Club. It was an honour to be asked by Peter to Chair the Friends and build on the excellent platform he has laid. Peter gained great pleasure from assisting young players seek out the most rewarding business or professional career and in connecting them with Friends who could mentor them as they did so. I look forward to building on his legacy and ensuring the Friends continue to support the club and mentor the young rugby players of the Club. The Friends held its 18th Annual Dinner at St Andrew s College where our Guest Speaker this year was Rob Nichol, the Executive Director of the New Zealand Players Association and the International Players Association. Rob provided an interesting speech and discussion about the work and priorities of the NZ Rugby Players Association, the future of the Super 15 competition and the associated media rights deal as well as the benefits and challenges of a second tier national competition. He congratulated Sydney University Football Club on its outstanding success. I was pleased to see some of our young players attend the dinner. The Friends is proud of its contribution to the Club and looks forward to continuing its contribution to the success of the Club on the field mentoring of its young rugby players.

10 SURPASS Report Medical Report 2nd Grade celebrates a try against Eastwood By the players, for the players, SURPASS created opportunities across three fronts again in 2014: As the hub for networking, learning and development of past and current players, as a valuable mentoring resource, and as chief organiser of past player events. Over the years, SURPASS has endeavoured to broaden its relevance to the total past and current playing group, and a key vehicle for that this year was the Learning and Development night SURPASS hosted in October. Ian Pollard, accomplished chairman and director of a range of boards of public companies, engaged a fifty strong group of past and current players on ways to develop and increase their own life capital. Players from the 80s to today, of SUFC and SUWR, shared anecdotes and challenged each other to explore ways to develop their careers, their skills and their communities. We are very grateful to Ian for his generosity and proud that our forum was worthy of his time. In between the formal engagements scores of one-onone discussions have been held with current players considering the next stages of their careers, on and off field. Summer internships have been facilitated, and wisdom imparted on overseas study, work and rugby opportunities. Most importantly, SURPASS has reminded players that through their association with the Club they have an unfair advantage and it is up to the player to exploit that for themselves, and in turn for others. One simple thought we keep in mind when meeting with players is who is one other relevant person that I can introduce this player to?. To ensure that we can best support players in such decision making discussions we have developed a few tools this year that have been widely adopted by our player mentees. These include pre-mentoring questionnaires that help us tailor our discussions, surveys to ensure events are meeting the needs of the group and keeping the database up to date, and streamlined communications via the LinkedIn group and Facebook page. Our intention is to broaden and deepen the bonds between past players of all eras of both SUFC and SUWR, so to ensure you re on the database and connected please find us on LinkedIn or Facebook or contact anyone at SURPASS (as detailed on the SURPASS section of the Club site). SURPASS stands for Sydney University Rugby Players Association for Securing Success. Angus Stuart Chairman The Sydney University Football Club has a history of providing comprehensive, high quality and easily accessible medical services to all of its players. This policy was continued on in The Sports Medicine services were provided by Dr Katherine Rae, Sports Physician and Dr David Samra, Sports Medicine Registrar. The Sports Physiotherapy services were provided by Shane Kertanegara and Elias Boukarim. Katherine, David, Shane and Elias all work together at The Sports Clinic at Sydney University. Medical Services included having a doctor present at both colts and grade venues every game day. Dr Rae looked after the grade games and Dr Samra looked after the colts games. Physiotherapists, Shane Kertanegara (Grade), and Elias Boukarim (Colts), with the aid of a team of strappers, looked after the teams at training as well as on the weekend. Physiotherapy attendance at training continued its focus on sport specific rehabilitation, with this year focusing on more injury specific rehab to facilitate return to play and prevent reinjury. Players were required to pass a fitness test by the physiotherapists, in order to be cleared for selection by the coaching staff. Dr Stuart Pavely at Australian Club Championships in Brisbane The aim of the Club s medical and physiotherapy services is to quickly and accurately diagnose and manage all injuries. This allows players to have the best management possible for their injury as well as minimising time off playing and preventing re-injury. Rugby triage session continued on in The Sports Clinic on Mondays mornings. At these sessions the physiotherapists were available to briefly assess and begin initial management of all injuries from Saturday s game. Players requiring medical management of their injuries were seen by Dr Rae and Dr Samra at the Sports Clinic and bulk billed. Players needing to see a physio during the week were treated by Shane or Elias during specified rugby clinic hours for their private health insurance rebate only. This clinic service was well utilised and was able to cater for all players requiring doctor or physio. The overall result was that players were again able to access Medical and Physiotherapy services without any out of pocket expense (providing they had private health cover) to them on the day. Carrying on from the previous season, there was also a panel of specialist surgeons who players were referred to if players needed an orthopaedic opinion and/ or operation. Season 2014 saw a continuation of the successful Physiotherapy injury prevention program. Screenings and prehab classes were held regularly through the season with the intention of preventing injuries before they resulted in missed game time. The screenings involve a collection of tests done to obtain objective measures on specified joints. On a weekly basis the physios compared players screenings to their baseline. Significant deviations from baseline gave more information on a player s body, and allowed for the modification of training volumes accordingly. Effort was made to ensure that findings from screenings were forwarded on to relevant training staff as a priority to ensure optimum management of the players. Prehab classes were progressive exercise based sessions focusing on strength and control of core and gluteal muscle groups. Prehab classes were attended by selected players who either had a history of injuries in previous seasons or who screened poorly on baseline. The following is a brief analysis of all new injuries and illnesses from all seven Sydney Uni teams that came to the attention of the medical staff during the season, from the start of preseason through until grandfinal day. As in past years, all injuries and illnesses affecting Sydney Uni players and their ability to train and/or take to the field have been reported, whether they were sustained training for or playing in the regular Saturday competition, representative competitions or even when participating in activities outside rugby. 18 Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report 19

11 Dr Katherine Rae and Dr Dane Cole-Clark at Grand Final Day Overall the number of injuries reported this year was just over 100 less than was reported last year. This drop of approximately 10 percent from last year is in part due to the season being shortened by 6 weeks to make way for the new NRC competition, injuries from which are not included here. Therefore some of the areas where the number of injuries stayed relatively the same (including head, foot and ankle, and medical) should be viewed as actually increasing in number. Thigh and buttock injuries were two areas where injuries actually increased in number. NUMBER OF INJURIES BASED ON LOCATION LOCATION Head Foot and ankle Thigh Shoulder Knee Medical Wrist and Hand Groin Lower leg Lumbar sine Neck Buttock Chest Elbow Abdomen 7 11 Thoracic Spine Forearm 9 5 Other This year there were 59 injuries that kept the players off the field for period of 5 weeks or more (or would have if the season hadn t ended). This is compared to 57 last year and 60 the year before that. The most significant change from last year was large drop in major hamstring injuries, down from 10 last year to 3 this year. 21 foot and ankle injuries: Syndesmosis sprains 10, fibula stress fracture 3, ankle fracture 3, Lis Franc sprain 2, stress fracture foot 1, ankle dislocation 1, lateral ankle sprain 1 10 knee injuries: MCL/PCL sprain 3, ACL 2, MCL 2, Patellar tendon pain 1, Meniscal tear 1 6 head injuries: Concussion 4, facial fractures 1, jaw fracture 1 5 thigh and calf injuries: Hamstring strain 4, calf strain 1 5 hand and wrist injuries: Radius fracture 2, Metacarpal fracture 1, finger fracture 1, finger laceration 1 3 back pain: Acute disc injury 2, pars stress fracture 1 3 chest injury: Ribs 2, thoracic spine fractures 1 3 shoulder injury: Shoulder dislocation 2, AC joint sprain 1 3 groin pain: Osteitis Pubis 1 medical illness: Tic bite Surgical injuries this year numbered 20.

12 As mentioned above, the overall number of injuries reported did drop by approximately 10 percent this year due to the shorter season. The shorter season makes comparison between years difficult particularly with injuries that decreased this year. However any injuries that actually increased in a shorter season can and should be commented on. Rates of serious injury, including ACLs, syndesmosis sprains, shoulder dislocations and foot and ankle fractures all stayed reasonably similar to previous years. There was however an interesting rise in posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries in the knee, from 0 2 injuries per year for the past 8 years to 5 this year. Acute muscle strains (hamstring, quadricep and calf) all remained relatively unchanged compared to last year. Unfortunately countering this there was a marked increase in overuse injuries of the lower limb this year including hamstring, gluteal, achillles and peroneal tendinopathies as well as fibular stress fractures. Thankfully, and likely due to screenings done by physiotherapy, hip and groin injury numbers (acute and chronic combined) were similar to last year. These numbers take in all injuries reported to medical staff independent of severity. When looking more specifically at the more serious injuries based on numbers of games missed, of the 59 players who missed 5 or more games 9 of them (or 15% of players) were due to an overuse injury. This is something that we will need to review in the offseason to work towards reducing next year. Concussion returned to its place at the top of the injury list this year, with an increase in reported injuries despite the shorter season. We document as concussion any head injury or suspected head injury reported to the medical staff which causes any symptoms of concussion (including but not restricted to loss of consciousness, amnesia, dizziness, blurred vision, headache, confusion) no matter how long the symptoms lasted, i.e. some of the 90 concussions documented during the season may have had symptoms lasting less than a minute. Caution has led to over rather than underreporting to ensure no concussion is missed. Concussion is taken seriously at SUFC by medical staff, coaches and most importantly by the players. Team doctors review all head injuries during the following week. Thankfully our players are usually very good a reporting concussion when it occurs and this allows the medical staff to best manage affected players. Dr Katherine Rae with Henderson Cup at Grand Final Day Management includes the player resting until symptom free for 24 hours. Once they can also perform well on concussion tests, they are given an individualized graded return to sport plan usually involving playing the following weekend. There were 16 concussions in grade players this year which were deemed more serious, taking longer than the usual 2-3 days to recover and resulted in the player missing 1 or more games in the subsequent weeks. Time to return to play in colts after concussion was not recorded. The 90 concussions recorded during the season occurred in 63 players across both colts and grade, as 19 players had more than one concussion during the season. 16 of the 19 players with multiple concussions had only two concussions for the season. Independent of how long they were rested post concussion, only one of these players was concussed two weeks in a row. 14 of the 16 with two concussions had their 2nd concussion between 2 and 6 weeks after the first. The other two had their first concussion in the preseason with the second occurring during the main season. As described earlier in the report, there were four concussions in three players (i.e. one player had two concussions) that resulted in players missing 5 or more games. Two of these three players were advised to finish the season early due to their prior history of concussion injury, and the third took a prolonged break from rugby mid season, coinciding with exams and holidays. He returned to successfully play out the remainder of the season. As in previous years, all injuries will be discussed and evaluated with coaching and training staff in the off season for possible reasons as to why the rates for various injuries have changed and what we can do to address the more serious injuries. Dr Katherine Rae SUFC Doctor Shane Kertanegara SUFC Physiotherapist Club Captain s Report Despite a challenging year for the students, the club culture remains stronger than ever. On countless occasions this year I was reminded of how special Sydney University Football Club is and what a privilege it is to be a current incumbent of the blue and gold jersey. Although we were unable to replicate the success of previous years, we still managed to secure the Club Championship, an accomplishment Chris Malone described as one of the clubs greatest achievements. Considering the hurdles the club faced this year and the position we were in at the midpoint of the season, this is a very accurate observation. The award is a testament to clubs depth and commitment to success. Huge congratulations to the players and coaches. It is with great sadness that Tom Carter farewelled the club this year. Tom s departure will leave a Josh Ellice-Flint after his 100th Grade Game massive void within the club. His commitment to SUFC is undeniable and much of the club success in knows each player personally (an impressive feat recent times is directly attributable to his hard work in its self) and I cannot remember a game in which and his ability to inspire the players around him.

We wish him the best work. Sarah, without your assistance with the of luck at his new club. Finally, a special mention to post-match speeches, they would have been more Josh Ellice-Flint who ends his playing career this than just a car crash. Thanks to the full-time year due the clubs inability to source jerseys that fit coaches, Chris Malone, Jack Farrer and David around his neck. Owing to Josh s humility and silent Haigh, whom all have all done an outstanding job this work ethic, it is often forgotten what a great asset year. The commitment you guys make to the players he is to the club. Josh has been one of SUFC s best in your endeavour to create success is second to players since he began his grade career at 18.

A huge thank you to Tim Reid for all the work you did and I claimed as my own. Ladies day was the next highlight on the calendar. This year a special effort was made to attract the mothers of the SUFC community, with a special High Tea themed extravaganza. It was a great day in which many players learnt who they got their drinking ability from. Friday night footy this year was sponsored by Urbanest and we look forward to it again next year. As the season came to an end, the players charged through Silly Sunday to Mad Monday like Hugo Dessens at a fence. This brings me to the much desired Best and Fairest points of the Mad week. 3 Points to Aldy King who demonstrated his experience when times were tough by enthusing the players around him with his much loved Animal Noise game. He also managed to flag down an off charter bus on the Princess Highway and convinced the driver to take 30 players back to the University. Remarkable leadership. 2 points went to Benjamen Lenehan for his two hour long impersonation of Beyoncé. It was a courageous effort that will no doubt never be forgotten by those who attended that party. 1 point to Scott Stumbles, who lived out a very public midlife crisis by attending a majority of the events. In my tenure as Club Captain I have strived to build upon the social culture developed by the great club captains before me. The nature of the club means that we have inordinate opportunity to develop an environment where strong bonds are forged and friendships are built that will inevitably last a life time. As such, I implore each player to engage whole heartedly in all of the social activities next year. Even if it just means a quick meal and soda. We look forward to 2015 for the opportunity it provides to build upon this year s successes, on and off the field and I am sure next year will be another great year in this amazing clubs history.

14 Director of Rugby Report The 2014 playing season was an extremely challenging yet rewarding journey for the entire Club playing group, coaching and management team. The season was characterised by relentless dedication, commitment, work rate, resolve and loyalty for one and other in all facets on and off the field. Every single result in each individual Grade and Colts fixture in the 2014 season was consequent to our application to the above foundation of hard work and discipline. This has been the foundation for all success experienced in the past and will continue to be the benchmark for Sydney University Football Club playing group, coaches, medical and support staff in the future. At the commencement of the 2014 season the principle Club objective and goal was to secure the Club Championship. This goal was achieved with the Club winning 10th and 11th consecutive Colts and Club Championship respectively. This is a special achievement and speaks volumes about the entire SUFC playing group, coaching, management and medical team s commitment to each other and contribution to respective team preparation and performances throughout the entire 2014 season. SUFC has always been a players Club, and it is fitting to congratulate each individual player on their commitment and solid contribution towards this significant Club achievement. The 2014 season provided immense opportunity for every player to develop their game and skills and contribute and compete in higher grades of rugby throughout the season. Opportunity for selection in higher grades within the Club was consistently deserved by players whom performed strongly on a weekly basis. This opportunity provided is visible upon season analysis of 77 players representing 4th Grade, 86 players representing 3rd Grade, 69 players representing 2nd Grade and 58 players representing 1st Grade throughout the 2014 season from a Grade perspective. Further opportunity was provided to Colts eligible players whom were performing strongly and deserving of opportunity within Grade fixtures. There were 28 Colts eligible players whom represented Grade teams throughout the season and contributed strongly from 1st Grade through to 4th Grade when provided opportunity. This was exciting for all coaches and management staff involved to observe the strong integration between Colts and Grade players and the development of our younger players throughout the season. With the Club Championship secured in the final round of the regular season, a challenge the entire playing group and management staff were driven towards was achieved. The playing groups focus then shifted towards the Finals Series with a heightened level of enthusiasm, drive and determination after 18 continuous rounds of fixtures for the majority of the Club. With 7 from 7 teams competing in the 2nd week of Preliminary Finals and 6 from 7 teams competing in Grand Finals the entire playing group should be proud of their efforts throughout the season. The Club achieved 4 Premierships and all players, coaches and support staff involved in these performances and victories On a representative front, congratulations to the NSW Waratahs on the success of securing the franchises maiden Super Rugby title. Congratulations to David Dennis and all the Sydney University Football Club players whom contributed to the NSW Waratahs Super Rugby title. It was an exciting season for all spectators across Sydney and NSW to be involved in, especially as a large contingent of SUFC supporters sat amongst a record crowd of 62,000 to watch Bernard Foley slot the match winning penalty goal. Congratulations to Jim Stewart, Angus Pulver, Tom Robertson, Matthew Sandell and Jonny Vaux for their respective selection in the Australian U/20 s squad which competed at the IRB Junior World Cup in New Zealand in June. This is an outstanding achievement and with continued commitment to development you have the potential and ability to provide strong performances in senior football ranks. A special mention to Liam Winton, Jonathan Vaux, Calum Buckling, Nick Coaldrake, Josh Ellice-Flint, Oliver Gresham and Michael Hodge for their contribution and commitment to the Club throughout the season. All of these players experienced significant injuries, with no or limited ability to play this season. Although sidelined with injury, their positive contribution to team dynamics and Club activities provided an opportunity for those around them to develop. Thanks for your selfless attitudes and your sturdy contribution to the Club throughout the 2014 season.

GRADE COACHING RECOGNITION 1st Grade Chris Malone, Daniel Vickerman and Peter Playford worked determinedly throughout the season with a young playing group, reinforcing the consistent theme of aiming and striving to improve from every minute and involvement in preparation and training. This coaching team provided first class mentoring and guidance to both young and experienced players where the opportunity to develop was available at every training session. 2nd Grade Garrick Cowley, Ray Hudd and Bill Hovey provided immense support and structure to the 2nd Grade team throughout a challenging and rewarding season. There was considerable player movement on a weekly basis with key combinations changing consistently throughout the season, however Garrick, Ray and Bill were able to effectively develop and communicate game strategy which suited the playing strengths of the team for each individual fixture. 3rd Grade Clint Allardice, Scott Stumbles and Joe Horn- Smith leading the 3rd Grade playing group to consistent performances and results throughout the season. Clint, Scott and Joe were very effective in developing; experienced Grade players, younger Grade players and Colts eligible player s skills and game awareness concurrently and striving for strong performances while developing a team which had 86 players represent the jersey. 4th Grade James Cameron, Luis Kutz and Hamish Pope brought together some very raw and inexperienced players at the start of the season and developed The Club is so fortunate to have such passionate and committed volunteers.

SUFC has always been a players Club, and it is appropriate to praise again each individual player on their commitment and solid contribution towards the 2014 season achievements. Jack Farrer Director of Rugby 2014 was a big year for the Club. We collected an 11th straight Club Championship, Won the Australian Club Championship, competed in 6 out of 7 Grand Finals, Won 4 Premierships, played 28 Colts players in Grade (same number of players represented the Club at Super Rugby level) so in terms of development we continued to push ahead with a whole of club focus. We also participated in the inaugural National Rugby Championship in our alliance with Balmain Rugby Club as the Sydney Stars. Players were pushed to play levels they have never played before, more games in a season than ever before, and against plenty of quality representative talent. In a 36 man Wallaby squad midway through the year, 12 players were SUFC products. What we saw was a Club that needs to continue to provide talent into a proven pathway at an everincreasing rate, and that is a very exciting challenge as we move forward. Coming on the back of the 150th Anniversary season in 2013 it was always going to be a tough one. For the very first time the Super season aligned with the length of Shute Shield, for the very first time the Melbourne Rebels decided to keep their Super Rugby players in Melbourne rather than play them in Sydney, and for the first time ever the Waratahs won the Super Rugby title! All of these events meant we were going to see a lot less of at least a dozen quality footballers that we had relied on in the previous seasons. What we did was see this as a positive to be able to develop our young players and turn them into 1st Graders. We ended up playing 58 different players in 1st Grade! Had our Super guys all come back this number would have been 70+, so upon reflection we have exposed a lot of players to a higher level that they will benefit from in time to come. Our strength was tested as a Club repeatedly, and with 3 weeks to go it looked like we had a mountain to climb to claim the coveted Club Championship trophy for the 11th straight year. We had to win 21 games of 21 over the last 3 rounds and most with bonus points if we were to chase down Manly and we did it, so full credit to all of our players, coaches and volunteers on what was a great effort and truly remarkable achievement. I distinctly remember the sheer joy that I felt for the Club to achieve this, and rank it as the best Club Championship we have won since 1999 for true grit and determination. In 1st Grade, we started the year with a bang in a couple of senses. The Australian Club Championship was on the line and we travelled to Brisbane to take on Easts who put up a tough showing. Unfortunately this game came at a cost as in the 1st half we lost Liam Winton to a season-ending knee injury. Somehow the boys dug deep to win what was a hard fought contest. Losing Liam was very tough as he had played nearly every minute of 1st Grade over the previous season and experience like his is hard to come by. The experience of a raucous suburban Queensland crowd was one we won t forget in a hurry either! Chris Malone coaching at Australian Club Championships in Brisbane One thing about the evolution of SUFC that will never change is the fact that we need experienced players to bring through our aspiring young talent. For every young guy that gets asked to step up along the way it is always made so much easier when they have the guidance of players that have been there before on many occasions. With injuries this year this was not always the case, and our young team had to learn pretty quickly how to get the job done. 30 Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report 31

17 Throughout season 2014 we had to work hard and drive our playing group to achieve. Ultimately we fell short when Ben Volavola finally found his range after the bell in the Semi-Final against Southern Districts, and it was a bitter feeling of disappointment that we did not make the Grand Final. Upon reflection it would have been a sensational effort to get there with a very young playing group, and the experience gained this year will hold us in good stead provided we learn from it and come back better than ever. At SUFC we are not used to losing, and we don t like it, but it is a reality of sport that at some point in time it is going to happen. We work so hard as a playing group to put ourselves in a position to be able to win on the last day, and therefore our disappointment must now manifest itself in a steely determination to get the job done in This of course will only happen if our training is good and our commitment to each other is to ensure that we leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of our goal. Highlights of our season included a record-scoring effort against Eastern Suburbs at home where we played some scintillating rugby. The come from behind win against Warringah in the Qualifying Final up at Rat Park proved that we are never dead in a game and we will fight right through. Like the rest of our season, we suffered injury set-backs early and had to pull together to win it was a great day. Tom Carter, a true clubman and leader at SUFC Again we have propelled players into professional football in 2014, and it is great to see Tom Boidin at Narbonne in France, and James Dargaville has been contracted to the ACT Brumbies. These two guys have absolutely dedicated themselves to their development over the last 3 years and deserve the professional opportunities that they have received. They should be a great example of what our players need to do to get to where they want to go. Special thanks to Tommy Carter who has been phenomenal for the Club, and despite suffering from injury throughout 2014, committed himself to the team and the Club in general. He has a huge passion for SUFC and I am glad (despite his retirement) that he will be back on board in a leadership capacity in Pete Playford is a truly remarkable coach and the players love him. He finds innovative and exciting ways to motivate and instruct, and he challenges me to be as good as I can be. Yes he sometimes borders on completely out there, but his analogies and coaching style endear him to everyone he comes in contact with, and he drives high standards. It is no coincidence that 4 backline players made team of the year this year when they have a quality coach in Pete. Thanks mate. Daniel Vickerman demands respect, and gets it! Having his knowledge, which is world class around forward play and the lineout, cannot be underestimated, and our players have been fortunate enough that he has somehow managed to give of his time to put back into the Club. Bizarre punishments for inaccuracy had our players on their toes throughout the season, not to mention his quick wit in the coaches box made the season a lot of fun for many of us. Thanks Vicks, I hope to see you next year?! Cam Blades took up the running from Mark Bell and has truly been a revelation in what he has done for a lot of our emerging talent at scrum time. In true front rower style he is very quick witted and at the same time drives a hard bargain with the players which really propels them to learn and get better. That s exactly what we need as we look to develop young front rowers at a fast pace. Tim Davidson was always ready to step into the breach when Vicks could not make it due to work and to have Davo and his experience of SUFC to guide the players was great. I m hoping to talk him out of retirement for next year as he is just too young and good to not be still playing watch this space! MANAGERS Evan Hoskins and Luke Campton are two great blokes, and the work they do for the players is second to none. Evan is so dedicated to the players that he makes sure they are looked after at every turn, and he helps to create a special environment that makes playing 1st Grade at Sydney University a real privilege. Evan got cleaned up by a car while riding his bike in Centennial Park so we wish him well recovering, and now have a good excuse to get Campo to do more of the lifting! Campo took up the role of Manager of the Stars after the Shute Shield season and will no doubt have learned plenty that will help us look after the 1st Grade team in Thank you both for great service, always a good laugh, and of course for your devotion to the Club and the boys. STRENGTH & CONDITIONING Timmy Leahy has continued to push our players to be better than ever before in their Strength & Conditioning both in the gym, but importantly in its crossover to what they are capable of achieving on the field. Having introduced really effective monitoring of our players through our GPS tracking system this year, we are working hard to be even better as we look at ways that we can decrease our injuries and stimulate athletic development. Tim does a great job and we are lucky we have had him in the system for a very long time. COACHING TEAM Peter Playford and Dan Vickerman were my trusty lieutenants in 2014, and it was a real pleasure to coach alongside these two guys. Tim Davidson (fresh from retirement), Cameron Blades and Jack Farrer also assisted where they could and it was great for our players to have such quality resources at their disposal. Having quality coaches is crucial in a Club which focuses heavily on development, and the efforts of these guys were appreciated greatly by me in particular.

Thanks to Hannah and Sarah for the support that you both give to our playing group. Some great initiatives have started this year and I am sure that with an extra year behind us our Club community can look forward to great game day and social functions throughout The Finals Lunch was a well-run event and I am sure in 2015 it will be bigger and better than ever. Ash Miller is one of the greats and has been so diligent in ensuring the legacy of the great man Rounders has continued to ensure our players are presented better than anyone else. Ash regularly can be seen in Rounders Shed late on a Friday night folding jerseys and getting ready for game day thanks for your continued support Ash. Sam Talakai had his game face on for the Australian Club Championship Craig Fizza Fear has every stat on every SUFC player and is the keeper of the Club statistics. Fizza does a great job and we are thankful to the time you dedicate weekly in season. The Medical team at SUFC is phenomenal, and to have the same person treating you on-field as you get during the week helps our processes no end, and ultimately gets our players back on the field quicker. This season we had a huge injury toll so our medical professionals have done a tremendous job, we will endeavor not to break as many next year! Thanks to our Grade medics Doctor Katherine Rae, SK Shane Kertanegara, Dr Stu Pavely and in Colts Dr David Samra and Elias Boukarim for all the great work you do. SUSF Running SUFC takes a lot of hard work, and significant support, and in Sydney University Sport and Fitness (SUSF) we have a partner that allows us to strive to continually achieve. We take pride in the professionalism of our program, and have no doubt that the support we receive from Rob Smithies (Executive Director), Bruce Ross (President) and Matt Phelps (High Performance Director) continues to help us to achieve our aims as a Club. Susie Burrell is a great resource provided by SUSF and has a tough job convincing school leavers on the merits of eating healthy, and again in 2014 has helped the program tremendously with her Nutritional advice, thanks Susie. In 2015 we want to be the very best we have ever been. You will all be proud of the performances both on and off the field of our players, and I look forward to sharing the experience with you all as great supporters of the Blue and Gold.

19 2nd XV Report In reaching its third Grand Final in succession, 2nd Grade achieved something quite special in the history of SUFC. The measure of the team s character was seen in the Semi-Final against Eastwood. Having come off a narrow loss to Gordon in the Qualifying Final the week before, our Semi-Final opponent was Eastwood. Our 2014 record against Eastwood was patchy, to say the least. A drubbing in the pre-season trial game was followed by a draw in Round 9 and a loss in Round 15. By the time we met them in the Semi-Final at Manly Oval, Eastwood had gone through the season undefeated and were considered hot favourites for the 2014 Title. An enormous defensive effort by Uni left Eastwood bewildered and without answers. Whilst they came within four points, Eastwood could not bridge the gap and Uni moved to the Grand Final after an exciting and gutsy win. And, a 3rd successive Premiership was within reach. 2ND GRADE S RECORD FOR 2014 Matches 21 Win 15 Loss 5 Draw 1 Points For 809 Points Against 414 Bonus Points 17 Position in Comp 2nd WIN RATIO: 73.81% The team s attacking and defensive record (as measured by tries for and against): Matches 21 Tries For 124 Tries Against 59 AWARDS BEST BACK Jack Macklin BEST FORWARD Byron Hodge 2ND GRADE PLAYERS 2014 GRAND FINAL STARTING XV: 1.

The Marlins had beaten us in Round 4, and they maintained superb form throughout the year. They presented a physically bigger side than Uni in the Grand Final. The defensive effort of the week before took its toll. In fairness, however, whilst our set piece remained solid, Many outgunned Uni with their tactical approach to the game and with their unrelenting wide attack which delivered 4 tries to Uni s 1. Lost opportunities and some uncharacteristic impatience marked the Uni play. Manly finished deserved winners, In season 2014, 2nd Grade fielded 67 players in its season of 18 Rounds and 3 Finals. Of those, 32 were chosen to play First Grade. In addition, we were able to welcome 10 regular Colts players into the team at different times throughout the year. individual players. However, it is important to note the contribution of Benn Melrose who was our Captain for much of the season. Benn was thorough and demanding in his preparation, and he asked much of the players. Their response was a reflection of the respect the whole group of players and coaches had for Benn. 2nd Grade Captain, Benn Melrose, leading the boys out through the tunnel Benn s predecessor was Josh Ellice-Flint whose season was brought to an end through injury.

Garrick Cowley, Bill Hovey, Ray Hudd 2nd XV Coaches MINOR PREMIERS AND PREMIERS 2014 HENDERSON SHIELD BEST FOR AND AGAINST ANY TEAM ANY COMPETITION 3rd XV Premiers nd Grade stands together after a tough Grand Final loss, a remarkable season nonetheless 3rd Grade had some unfinished business in 2014 after such a strong season in 2013 where we missed the final prize by the barest of margins - going down in the Grand Final by a single point. This year I was joined by Scotty Stumbles to get the backline firing, and Joe Horn-Smith to ensure the set piece was as dominant as it could be, and a great job they did on all counts. Joe had his work cut out for him early in the season when we told him he had to organise a scrum without specialist props for the first 6 weeks. Special mention to George Hudd, Stuart Nutt, Faiva Sailosi, and Fergus Mitra for the tough work they did for us in the front row early in the season. The results in the first 8 weeks were fantastic considering, with an outstanding 44-5 win over Easts at Easts in round 2, and then an exceptionally gritty win against Wests at Wests the following week, where the bulk of the Wests team had previously played in a 2nd Grade Grand Final. We then had a top of the table clash against Manly where we were off the pace early, but managed to come from behind to take the lead, only to almost surrender it on the bell Coach-killer extraordinaire. But that game was an important one in the team s development, as the playing group realised that we probably got away with one, and there was a marked improvement on the training pitch from that week onwards. Not coincidentally, everything really clicked the following week at Warringah where we dominated our eventual Grand Final opponents on their home turf. Outstanding support in attack by 3rd Grade against Eastern Suburbs 38 Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report 39

21 It s fair to say that the attack was getting the job done The Semi-final was against Manly who had finished the Fongy and Jack Jones for their leadership in A massive thank you to all the players who wore the early in the season as we scored 4 try bonus points in every game up to Round 10, and we ended up with 16 bonus points from the 18 rounds. It was the defence that needed some focus; so the push-up contract was born; 5 points per game was the limit the coaches would concede - any points beyond that cost the team a push-up every week for the rest of the season As our young legal students quickly alerted us, any contract required some benefit the other way, thus the Shut out case, and the Push over case were born. A nil score line earned the boys a case of beer, and a pushover try earned them another. The astute Scotty Stumbles was to sponsor the shutout case, and it didn t cost him a cent until the final round of year in second place after dropping just 4 games for the season, but our boys were well up for a home Semi-final on Uni No. 1 and put in one of the performances of the season, despatching Manly 50-14! In a Semi!! The Grand Final against Warringah was expected to be a tough battle up front as Warringah had a sizeable pack, but the scrummaging abilities of our boys showed up some deficiencies and we dominated them there from the first whistle and never looked back for a Grand Final, in wet conditions no less, was absolute domination, and a fitting end to a fantastic season. the second half of the season, when they both stepped up as Co-Captains. And coincidentally their performances throughout the year netted them the two Best and Fairest awards as well. Well done to both of you. Al the Bus Ryan, his drive and scrummaging was critical to our go-forward in the second half of the year.

Wining the Minor Premiership is a whole squad effort, you don t achieve that unless you have some significant depth at the club, and there are 50+ players who can be proud of the result and take credit for its achievement. Thanks also to Jack Farrer for his input and support throughout the year, he is always happy to get hands on at training whenever required, and his communication in regards to selections etc this year was excellent. Thank you to Sammy Fifita our ever reliable messages runner, and to the medical staff, particularly Kath and DCC. As well as Ross Ryan and Ash Miller, and the competition. While poor old Joe had to take out a second mortgage to pay for the Tooheys truck to turn up on Mad Monday.

22 4th XV Report We faced a very strong Eastwood side who had finished the regular season as minor premiers. The game did not go as we had planned as Eastwood dominated possession and territory. However in one of the gutsiest defensive displays you re ever likely to see, the Uni boys put up a brick wall that Eastwood just couldn t break down. On the rare occasions we ventured into opposition territory we came away with points every time and that was enough to see us lift the cup. of the strength and conditioning program cannot be underestimated and I think it played a crucial part of 4th grade s success in Medical staff Kath Rae, Shane Kertanegara and our match day doctor Dane Cole-Clark for keeping the players in one piece. Troy Isidro and Sam Fifita as team managers. Helmut Gebels for being our assistant referee throughout the season and of course for the pizzas after the round 18 match. Ball boys Liam Whitaker, Max Miller and Jackson Campton. I was incredibly proud to be involved with this playing group this season and this was exemplified in the attitude and effort of the players on grand final day. The players should be extremely proud of themselves not just for their performance on grand final day, 4th XV Premiers 2014 but that it was the culmination of a 21 week straight season of hard work and determination proved to be a successful season as we lifted the The winning streak did not come easy however as Henderson Cup as 4th grade premiers. 7 of those 16 games were won by 7 points or less. We struggled a little with consistency in the first half of the season. A comfortable opening round win over Penrith was followed by 2 narrow wins and 2 narrow losses. The season was one of consistent improvement however and while it might not have seemed a likely scenario at the time, the round 5 loss to Warringah was the last time we would lose in 2014 as we embarked on a 16 game winning streak that culminated in an epic grand final victory. Often we would build ourselves a lead only for the opposition to come back at us in the second half; but on each occasion the players showed a real willingness to win and defended resolutely to protect their lead against an opposition throwing everything at them. I believe the experience we gained in these close games throughout the season helped us to win the grand final. As the season progressed we started to get more convincing and as the margins of victory increased, so Saturdays became a little less nervy for the coaches. The players set themselves high standards in everything they did. They worked hard on their fitness, skill set, team structure, and execution. The boys also fostered a positive culture and my feeling was that they enjoyed their rugby more and more as the season progressed. 4th Grade with their game faces on for the Grand Final Coaches Luis, Hamish and I would like to thank everyone who contributed to 4th Grade s success this year.

23 Director of Colts Report The 2014 season was always going to be a challenge for a young colts group, following the huge participation and success of the 150th Anniversary year and the introduction of new rules which prevented a significant number of SUFC s Super Rugby players from returning to the Club. This resulted in 28 Colts eligible players playing in Grade teams, with 7 Colts taking the field in 1st Grade. Despite and also because of this, the core group of experienced players who were returning for another year of colts, in addition to the enthusiasm of the new players to the Club, resulted in a complementary blend of experience and raw enthusiasm, motivating the group to achieve. Throughout the season, 46 players were selected in the 1st Colts team, 64 players selected in the 2nd Colts team and an astonishing 52 players represented 3rd Colts. Interestingly, 15 players played in all three teams at some point throughout the season. In all, 87 players represented Sydney University Colts across the three teams in At the end of season 2014 I am delighted to report this year s colts group embraced and contributed to the proud history of the Club and its jersey. The Eric Spilsted Shield, awarded to the winner of the Colts Club Championship, was just reward for the hard work applied by the players, the coaches, managers, physiotherapists, doctors, volunteers and, importantly, the friends and families who supported the colts throughout the year. David Haigh in team talk The 3rd Colts team faced the usual challenges throughout the year of a constantly changing team, combinations and sometimes missing out on a game as their opponents did not field a 3rd Colts team. However, under the experienced coaching of Wade Gudgeon, James Caterson and Charles Carter (during the finals series), together with, amongst others their captain, Ben Martin, they embraced the challenges and produced a hugely memorable year. 3rd Colts were fittingly SUFC s team of the year, finishing the season undefeated with only a 19-all draw in Round 9 blighting their unblemished record. The team possessed both the best attack of the competition and the best defence, scoring over 36 points each game whilst conceding less than 10 points scored against them per game, securing both the minor and major premierships, being victorious in the wettest grand final many have witnessed with a glorious 3-nil win over Manly. The 2nd Colts team, coached by James Riches, Ambrose Plaister and Dan Simpson, had another extremely successful year, following their undefeated run last year. After finishing the regular season with 12 wins from 15 round games, the team headed into the three week final series in strong form and their eyes on a potential grand final meeting with Norths, who beat them both times they met earlier in the season. As is often the case in finals, the games did not go to script and the 2nd Colts team had to fight every step of the way, finally securing the major premiership with three last-minute wins in three weeks. Ably led by the experienced Tyne Holmes and Jack Leger-Ryan, the 2nd Colts team fielded an extraordinary number of players throughout the year and finished with the best attack of the competition, averaging 42 points per game, and the second best defence, pipped into second place with 14.5 points conceded per game. SUFC s 1st Colts team becomes more enjoyable to coach each year; presenting new challenges and producing exciting talent season after season. Hadley Jackson, Travis Partridge and I each enjoyed every minute of the 1st Colts season and our most rewarding moments were often shared when a debutant was David Haigh coached SUFC Australian University Games team to victory in 2014 promoted to 1st Colts and excelled.

24 THANK YOU to week. Peter Harris, father of new player Sam, generously volunteered his time to take up the role as manager in 2nd Colts and was outstanding. As was Ed Walgien, the doyen of colts team managers. The amount of time and work Ed puts into the colts program, extending to setting up and packing down the field, BBQ, scoreboard, change rooms and shelters at every home game. Ed s contribution cannot be overstated and he was the just recipient of this year s Stephen Rowntree Volunteer of the Year Award. Thank you to all. Colts Dinner, held with great success earlier this year. St Paul s College also show strong support of the Colts program, allowing the use of their picturesque oval for colts home games. Dan O Hara and the Nags Head Hotel also require our thanks for hosting numerous functions, team meetings and dinners and, of course, celebrations. All of the names listed below contribute greatly to the success and enjoyment of the Club and the colts in particular. It is important to note that almost every one of these people selflessly volunteer their time to support and assist the players. I consider myself both extremely fortunate and privileged to come to work each day and be surrounded by a group of sincere, genuine and dedicated volunteers and staff. Much is often said about the fast, physical and fit style of play the Students exhibit and the overall superior strength and conditioning of our players. Within the colts program, this can be attributed to one person, Tristan Sharp. The amount of work and time Tristan invests into the players, training squads, teams and injured players extends well above and beyond his required duty. His preparation and organisation for every single session is outstanding and ensures the players are physically prepared to perform at their peak throughout what is a long season. Turtle, as he is affectionately known, instills confidence in me and the coaches through his experience when running messages to the players during games, whilst the players are confident they have done the work to outperform their opponents at all times. Matt Sandell, Most Promising Colt 2014 Colts Clubman of the Year Stewart Nutt Stu was new to the Club in 2014, having relocated from Adelaide. Throughout the 2014 pre-season Stu worked tirelessly to establish himself at Uni. Although Stu s primary position is hooker, throughout the season Stu played a number of games at prop despite little experience in this position. Stu was also frequently called up to play Grade, excelling in the challenge. It was not uncommon for Stu to start the training week in a particular position in one team, only to end up playing the weekend in another team yet in another position. Regardless of which team or position Stu played, Stu s primary goal was contributing his utmost best to the team he was selected in and the Club as a whole. Stu undoubtable demonstrates the qualities of the Club man of the year, hard work, determination and a willingness to give one hundred percent to his team. The Steve Anthony Trophy for the Best and Fairest Colt Ben Hughes Ben made leaps and bounds this season, his second in rugby after a background in league. His understanding of our game improved remarkably, organising and generally leading the team around the park. Throughout the season Ben developed into a crucial member of the team. When regular captain Rohan O Regan was injured in the weeks preceding the finals, Ben stepped up again and was Rohan s natural replacement as the team s leader. Just as importantly, Ben was the only player to start every game in 1st Colts this year, a testament to his hard work both on and off the training field. To all of the coaches, Hadley Jackson and Travis Partridge in 1st Colts, James Riches, Ambrose Plaister and Dan Simpson in 2nd Colts, Wade Gudgeon, James Caterson and Charles Carter in 3rd Colts, thank you for generously and selflessly volunteering your time, experience and, importantly, enthusiasm for rugby. The players were fortunate to have coaching of the highest calibre that each coach contributed this year. I wish to express my great appreciation to all of the team managers, who made certain everything was prepared and ready, ensuring the players and coaches only needed to prepare for and perform on the field. 1st Colts were privileged to have the help of Paul Blackett, John Surridge, who each contributed to enabling 1st Colts to achieve week Colts Club Captain and 1st Colts Captain, Rohan O Regan A heavy contingent of Colts players were present during 2014 Pre- Season training The Club and the players are fortunate to have the support of Bruce Ross, who provides valuable academic advice to all and is an invaluable resource to the Club, and Dick Laffan s passionate and knowledgeable support. These two men s support of the Club s Colts program ensures the players and coaches alike have access to advice in all aspects of varsity rugby. The Club greatly appreciates the support of the Colts program by Wayne Erickson and St Andrew s College. The Colts teams use the St Andrew s oval for training and has also been the home in recent years to the SUFC Colts Strength and Conditioning Coach, Tristan Turtle Sharp 46 Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report 47

25 1st Colts Report The medical and physiotherapy support the Finally, and most importantly, thank you to all of the The 1st Colts team selected 46 players throughout from a much shorter schoolboy rugby calendar. The Club provides the players is unmatched in the Sydney Club Rugby competition and is one of the foundations on which the Club has built its success. Elias Boukarim, generously assisted by Shane Kertanegara and numerous strappers, leads the colts medical program with enthusiasm and a great attention to detail, ensuring every player receives the treatment they require. Dr. David Samra, along with Dr. Kath Rae, are excellent in their comprehensive care for the players and Dr. Rae s experience and knowledge is invaluable to the Club and its players. We are fortunate to have the experience and passion of each of these professionals and I want to thank you all for everything you do. The advice, assistance and mentoring provided by the professional staff of Chris Malone, Jack Farrer, in addition to the assistance of Cam Blades, Garrick Cowley and Dan Vickerman, to not only myself yet extended to all of the coaches, has been nothing short of exceptional. We are fortunate to have such skilled people at the Club who are willing to pass on players. By and large, the majority of supporters do not see the amount of dedicated training and passion each of you put into your rugby away from the playing field. It is pleasing to see the level of commitment each of you put into the Club. Whether it be the 13 players who reserved for 3rd Colts in their grand final, despite knowing only 10 could take the field, the colts players stepping up to play grade as required or the 35 players who turned up to the gym at 6am three days a week. The players attitude, enthusiasm and commitment to hard work, whether it be on the rugby field or in their academic pursuits, demonstrates the Club is in good hands for the players, the current custodians of the SUFC jersey, have added to its celebrated legacy. Up the Students! David Haigh Director of Colts the duration of the year, 7 more players than Of these 46, a remarkable 31 played their first game in 1st Colts and 20 of the debutantes were in their first year at the Club. As mentioned in the Colts Program report, an equally remarkable 28 colts eligible players gained experience in grade this year, an increase from the 5-10 players who had been promoted in previous years. The promotion of Colts eligible players to grade will more likely than not continue as we develop quality young footballers and in turn they are selected for representative honours. The opportunities the National Rugby Championship presents a number of talented Colts eligible players will only strengthen the Club in the years to come as more SUFC members are presented with the opportunity to play at higher levels earlier than what was the case in previous years. Another challenge which this year s colts group and the Club as a whole was presented with was the structure of this season, with the season proper consisted of 18 round games and 3 games during the finals series all played backto-back, without any byes or breaks. The length of the season is regularly underestimated by players in their first year of colts, with a number of new players coming season, this year without any byes, was one of the toughest in memory. There were a number of games which stood out as season defining games. After a long pre-season of hard training, our first trial game of the year came against a well drilled Eastwood team. The Woodies showed our young group of colts the intensity required to compete in the top colts grade and was the kick-start Uni needed at the beginning of the year. Round 4 saw a replay between last season s 1st Colts grand final between Uni and Manly at Manly Oval. It proved to be an arm wrestle in the early stages before six unanswered tries to the Students saw us blow the contest apart to finish The Round 10 clash against traditional rivals Randwick on Friday night was always going to be a defining game of the year. Despite trailing just before the break, the Students turned the tide after maintaining their composure and, on the back of a dominant scrum and set piece in general, were able to score on the stroke their coaching experiences and expertise. Further, and it almost goes without saying how privileged we are at SUFC to have the support of David Mortimer and Andrew Wennerbom overseeing the Club. The accessibility of these two incredibly busy men displays what the Club means to them and how earnestly they want all of us to succeed in all we do. Thank you. The players would not be where they are without the ongoing support and encouragement of their parents, families and friends, many of whom cheered on from the sidelines throughout the year. A special note of thanks must go to Alofa Skelton, mother of Cam Skelton, who spent every Saturday home game on the barbecue from before the 3rd Colts game started until well into the 1st Colts game. Thank you and to all who supported the players this year. 1st Colts team for Round 1 presented at SUFC Season Launch 48 Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report 49

26 of halftime to take the lead and all the momentum jump out to a 12 point lead, the only easy points were a huge benefit to the team. Paul, in particular, Whilst the st Colts team were the very essence of into the second half. This momentum was converted into points during a decisive ten minute period in the second stanza whereby we ran in a further three unanswered tries to effectively end the contest and went on to win A number of strong performances followed with the 1st Colts team rounding out the 18 round games with 16 wins losing only to Northern Suburbs, albeit both times we faced them. Two big wins over Easts in consecutive games led to a semi final against our season s nemesis, Norths, where we gained revenge after a twenty five minute period in the second half, running in six unanswered tries to our outside backs on the back of a dominant forward performance. This would prove to be our best performance of the season. scored the whole game, proved to be the difference. Despite playing ourselves back into the game on the back of our natural attacking game, we ultimately fell shot despite a dominant forward pack and numerous linebreaks. Although loosing the grand final was far from the result we were after, it was still an outstanding year for 1st Colts and everyone who put it throughout the season. was of great assistance in everything on game day, from running water, organising jersey presentations, keeping track of the score and substitutions and packing down the field at the end of a long day, and made the coaching job a breeze and allowed the players to focus on playing and only playing. Thank you Paul and Surro, we are truly lucky to have such selfless volunteers at the Club. This leads me to Ed Walgien, who spends more time helping around the Club than almost any other. He is always the first person to arrive and the last person to leave on both training days and, more importantly, game days. The work and commitment he provides to the Club, and the Colts in particular, is without peer and I want to personally thank you Ed for everything you do. what a team is about, a group of men with one common purpose each working for the other, I feel a number of players deserve special mention. In particular the 1st Colts 2014 captains Rohan O Regan and Ben Hughes. Rohan was the 1st Colts 2013 premiership winning captain and he commenced the 2014 season as he left the 2013 season, with determination and enthusiasm leading both by example and demanding others perform to his standards and to the best of their ability. Rohan s calm, assured voice could be heard on both the training field and during a game analysing the game and dictating the changes needed, despite spending most of the game with his head in the bottom of a ruck or scrum. Whilst Rohan led from the front, Ben Hughes was his right-hand man, stepping in when required and leading the backs and the team s attack around the field with astute confidence. Ben s athleticism is a strength and there is no better support player in the competition! He was both a logical choice and deserved recipient for the Steve Anthony Trophy for the Best and Fairest Chris Talakai s muddy face at the 1st Colts Grand Final Colt. Matt Hood was the third of the 1st Colts 2014 core THANK YOU group of leaders and finished the year with the award for team s Best Back, after his second consecutive season Jack McCalman played a number of games in both Colts and Grade in 2014 Wet weather is a great leveller in rugby and this has not been clearer than in the 1st Colts Grand Final. Uni and Randwick were ranked 1st and 3rd respectively in attack, averaging a combined 97 points per game over the competition rounds, however it was evident for to all to see that points would be hard to come by in atrocious conditions. Early errors off an altered game plan focusing more on field position saw Randwick A special thank you must go to Hadley Jackson and Travis Partridge for their assistance this season. Hadley s attacking creativity and passion for backs play and, most importantly, allowing the backs to play freely were crucial to the team s success. His commitment to the team, despite his heavy work obligations, were second to none and rarely a day would pass without a phone call to talk tactics, suggest new plays or structures or just to celebrate the play from the previous weekend. With the season ending without the silverware, it feels like the job is only half finished and Hadley and I cannot wait for Round 1 next year! The efforts of our team managers, Paul Blackett and John Surridge, cannot be overstated enough. It can be a thankless task, however the energy, enthusiasm and clear passion for colts rugby shared by these two Ben Hughes, Best and Fairest Colt 2014 Watching the 1st Colts team play on Saturdays was always a favourite part of the week for the coaches for they play an exhilarating, attacking style of rugby. Further, it was not only the style of play that was satisfying, it was also being around a group of people of good character. Without exception, every player who played in the 1st Colts team was a good bloke and I want to thank them all for their enthusiasm and positive attitude at every training session, game and every other time we saw each other. where we played every week, including a run-on debut in Grade, and in the process Matt scored a brilliant 20 tries. Whilst Matt is a supreme finisher what was not seen was the amount of work he put into his defensive skills to ensure he was able to save almost as many tries as he was scoring. A special mention must also be made of Matt Sandell s achievements. The 2014 season was Matt s first year since completing school and his first year at the Club. Matt worked tirelessly throughout a standout season, culminating in a 1st Grade start, Australian Under 20s and Sydney Stars NRC representative selection and SUFC s 1st Colts Best Forward award. Matt s work rate for a front rower is unparalleled at the Club and his scrummaging has improved significantly. The Club is in truly good hands.

27 2nd Colts Report 3rd Colts Report 2014 was another outstanding season for 2nd Grade Colts. Hopefully it will be remembered as the season where the team came from behind to win with the final play of the game in each of the three finals encounters, culminating in an after-the-siren win over Manly to bring home the Shell Trophy for another year. James Kennelly makes a break SUFC 2nd Colts Premiers 2014 pleasingly, each player left everything on the field, and while it was a sobering change-room after the match the players took it upon themselves to address the issues and learn from the game. Coming into the finals, these were the lessons that stood us in the best stead and ultimately enabled us to win each finals game with the final play of the game. SUFC 3rd Colts Premiers 2014 As is typical of SUFC 2nd Grade Colts, 2014 saw 64 players pull on the blue and gold hoops to represent the side. At times this made it difficult to build consistency and combinations, but every player slotted into the team as seamlessly as possible and each contributed to the games in which they played. Congratulations needs to go to all players for conducting yourselves professionally and performing under pressure. There were several highlights throughout the season, from brilliant finishing out-wide to barnstorming forward runs, however from our perspective the defining moment of the season came in Round 15 against Eastwood. On a sunny afternoon at T.G.Milner, Uni let Eastwood score some easy first-half points, putting us on the back-foot. The players, however, remained calm and controlled and fought back with some clinical, wellexecuted phase-plays to score some fantastic tries out wide to get within striking distance as the match drew to a close. After consistently building pressure and attacking the Eastwood line, a Uni try under the sticks was called up short, resulting in a devastating loss. It was not so much the loss that defined the season but the reactions to it and the lessons we learnt. It was our first real taste of what would be required to grind out wins in the big games. It was the best way to learn that we need to take care of the contest up front before earning the right to be flashy out wide. Perhaps most As with every season, there are some well-deserved thanks that need to be made. In particular; to the medical staff, Stitches, David and the supporting strappers; to the managers, Peter Harris and Ed Walgien, without whom Saturday s would never have worked without your support and organization; the coaching staff of David Haigh, Tristan Sharp, Jack Farrer and Nobby Malone; and the behind the scenes crew of Hannah Catchpole and Sarah Dill-Macky - it makes it too easy as a coaching team when there is so much support behind the scenes. 2nd Colts celebrate their win with the team song after defeating Eastwood Lastly, to the players you gave the coaches several heart attacks along the way, but ultimately brought home the bacon. Well done on the season. James Riches, Ambrose Plaister, Daniel Simpson 2nd Colts Coaches WHAT A SEASON WE DON T LOSE. The 2014 season for 3rd Colts was full of enjoyment, excitement, improvement, courage, determination, learning, mateship and success. As coaches we could not have asked for a more committed group of players that developed a great bond throughout the season, playing not only for themselves but for their team mates. Our season commenced with two easy wins against Eastern Suburbs (45 to 7) and West Harbour (55 to 0). The third game of the season we had to travel to Manly for a 33 to 12 victory, we beat Warringah at home 36 to 5, followed by a see sawing tussle and very close game against Norths away to prevail 29 to 22. This was followed by two byes and then the closest game of the year, a 19 all draw with Eastwood, having two byes concurrently didn t help our preparation for what we knew would be a tough encounter. This game was extremely satisfying as Eastwood led 19 to 12 with 10 minutes to go and the players showed great resolve, patience and courage to score on the bell and convert to come away with the draw. It was this attitude and belief that would set the team up for a very successful season. The next 5 games were all at home against some good opposition, but the players put together some polished performances as seen below: Sydney University 26, Randwick 0 Sydney University 45, Southern Districts 12 Sydney University 28, Parramatta 8 Sydney University 55, Norths 12 Sydney University 38, West Harbour 5 The game against Norths was our best game of the season as the players were determined to win the game after a close encounter in the first game. From the kick off, we could tell that the team was up for the challenge, as the defence was brutal and the level of intensity was raised to another level of previous games. Within 10 minutes we were leading 12 to nil, then the players decided to coast and dropped their guard, Norths capitalised and the scores were level 12 all. From this point on it was all Uni, as the team raised the level of intensity, maintained position, built pressure, took their opportunities and played entertaining rugby. 52 Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report Sydney University Football Club 2014 Annual Report 53

28 Round 15 was against Eastwood at T.G. Milner, which The first game of the finals series was a non event with As our season progressed so did our targets It was a tremendous season by 3rd Colts with the was expected to be a tough assignment, but again the team lifted, and with good line speed and tough defence, kept Eastwood scoreless whilst crossing their line on three occasions to win 19 to nil. Uni dominating the game and winning convincingly 66 to nil. The semi final was always going to be a different game, with Uni against Southern Districts on their home soil, and with our 2nd Colts team defeating and player s expectations increased with their improvement. Throughout the season a number of milestones were achieved that illustrate the challenges of a 3rd Colts team with a combination of youth and players rising and conquering every challenge that was put in front of them. With no Sydney University juniors to call upon for the second year in a row, it sometimes left us short on numbers. When you look at their 2nd Colts team in the qualifying final, Southern experience. the number of quality players that have come through Districts were hungry to knock us out. The game was hard as expected with no side giving the other an inch and with patience and constant pressure we managed to secure a 14 to 12 victory. We were onto Around 60 players played 3rd Colts during the 18 round competition, (14 played, 4 byes) of these, more than 70% were new to the club. the juniors previously and are still involved with the club, I am surprised as to why the board does not invest more of the club s funds and full time staff into the development of Sydney University juniors. SUFC 3rd Colts known as an incredibly strong defensive side Round 16 was away against Parramatta, who had to win to have a chance of playing in the finals, but we also had to win to ensure we became minor premiers. With a number of our players missing, either through injury or away on holidays, it gave some of our players an opportunity to start, but left us short of reserves. We played well in attack crossing for 8 tries (54 points), but our defence was poor, allowing Parramatta to cross our line on three occasions (21 points). Although we never looked like losing the game it was disappointing to see players falling off tackles and becoming lazy in defence. the Grand Final. The Grand Final was against a completely different Manly side than what we played during the regular season. The skies had opened up and the field was under water ( more than a 30cm in some areas), but the game went on. It was a hard fought tussle, however despite the arduous conditions our ball handling skills were excellent and we took our only opportunity a penalty 15 metres out in front of the posts (thankfully it was in front), to secure a 3 to nil victory. The team had accomplished what they had sought out to do and the players deserved the title of champions, after an undefeated season. Went through the season undefeated. 3rd Colts were the only undefeated team in the whole of the Shute Shield/Premier rugby competition. 5 times we kept the opposition to zero, two of these were during the final series. Biggest win was 66 to nil in the qualifying final against West Harbour. We had the best defensive record of any team, from any club, in Grade or Colts with an average of 8.41 points against us per game. The team scored four tries or more in 13 of the 17 games we played. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK: The players, for without them we do not have a team to represent Sydney University or to coach. Tim Davidson and Tom Carter for their inspirational talks, words of encouragement and conducting skills sessions with 3rd Colts. Hannah Catchpole and Sarah Dill-Macky for their assistance throughout the year. It is their support and commitment that makes coaches lives easy and enjoyable, also their continued hard work behind the scenes helps to make Sydney University rugby such a success. Last, but definitely not least, our manager Ed Walgien who is always first at the ground on game day (I have tried to get there before him with no success). I consider Ed to be a true mate, he will do anything to help the players and Sydney University Rugby. With his vast amount of playing experience and knowledge of the game, I have learnt a lot from Ed Walgien and wish to personally thank him for all he has done to support and assist me over the years I have been with Sydney University. Our last game of the regular season was against Eastern Suburbs at Woollahra and they had to beat us to make the finals, something I personally did not want to see that happen, after losing to Eastern Suburbs in the Grand Final of Eastern Suburbs lifted for the match and the defence from both sides Unfortunately, I will not be coaching at Sydney University next season but would encourage all the players that are eligible to continue their rugby with Sydney University next year and would like to wish the club and players success for the 2015 season. was excellent, with Uni running out victors 28 to 8.

29 Juniors Report The level of competition in the NSW State Ivan Pomare (SUFC Juniors Dev. Officer), Wade Championships was of a very high standard and although our teams had mixed results in their endeavours throughout the tournaments, one thing Gudgeon ( 3rd Grade Colts Coach) Canterbury Rugby Club Committee (Wills Ground) is for certain, that our overall performance as a Junior District in comparison to the other much larger Districts is commendable to say the least.
