7 President s Report Members and friends, I am starting this report by advising you that I will be retiring as President at the 2015 Annual General Meeting after some 15 years in the role. During that time there is much we all can be proud of and we have had a wonderful record of success. However, like all institutions we need a fresh injection of blood from time to time. New blood brings innovation, new ideas, new energy and a commitment to ensuring that our club s success continues. My colleague and head of SURPASS, Angus Stuart, has indicated he is prepared to take on the role and I wholeheartedly endorse his candidature. Angus is a former player and has shown remarkable dedication in steering, with his former playing colleague SURPASS to an effective support to the Friends group that has been so big a contributor over the years. Traditionally, my annual reports have always led off with how our club has performed in the Sydney Grade competition, but this year I d like to venture from the Varsity to Twickenham. Sydney University Football Club provided almost a quarter of the 31-man Australian squad for the 2015 World Cup where we bowed out to New Zealand in the final. Congratulations to second-rowers Dean Mumm and Will Skelton, backrower Ben McCalman, halfback Nick Phipps, five-eighth Bernard Foley and fullback Israel Folau, who were selected in the initial squad, and to Sam Carter who was added to the squad after Will sustained an injury. With the exception of Israel, all came through the SUFC Colts and Grade system. Being selected for the national team and playing in a World Cup campaign are the aims of all young players and SUFC as they come through our ranks. The club is providing a wonderful pathway for our players. Which brings me back to the Shute Shield competition. We can look back on 2015 as yet another successful season on and off the ground. Although we slipped in SUFC President David Mortimer AO speaks at 2015 Season Launch the Shute Shield race in the semi-finals, we still won four of the seven titles on offer in the Sydney premier Grade competition, the overall Club Championship for the 12th consecutive season and the Colts Club Championship for the 11th year in a row. The ability for all teams to dig deep and lift again to higher levels at the end of a long season is why I remain so proud of our club. Another reason I applaud the players and coaches is that every player and coach in the club gained finals experience. That has been one of the hallmarks of the club s extended stay at the helm of the competition. As Tim Davidson, our most successful captain in the 152-year history of the club said in a recent Roar magazine article, winning the Shute Shield tops off winning the Club Championship. To quote Tim, who was assistant First Grade coach this season: Winning the Club Championship is as important as winning First Grade. A First Grade title is the icing on the cake for a club. Looking at the bigger picture, winning four titles is outstanding. I think 2015 has been an exceptional year. We should be proud and happy. I certainly was after the grand final weekend in August when all of our teams made it through to the qualifying finals for the ninth consecutive year. Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 7

8 SUFC celebrates its 12th straight Club Championship First Grade s tilt at another Shute Shield title came to an end in the final at windy Manly Oval where the hosts inflicted a result to book a grand final berth against defending premiers Eastwood, who went on to win back-to-back titles. Congratulations to the Woodies. Sydney University Second Grade came from behind in a gripping Colin Caird Shield decider to defeat Randwick at Concord Oval, setting the scene for the three Colts grand finals, all against Randwick, played at Forshaw Rugby Park the following day. Sydney University Thirds opened proceedings with a 10-nil result in the Bill Simpson Shield, Seconds collected the Shell Trophy with a win, and Firsts collected the W. McMahon Memorial Shield with a result. Congratulations to all players and coaches. It was the fifth time Sydney University Colts have won three premierships on the one day, emulating their efforts in 2003, 2008, 2011 and And Second Grade Colts made it 10 premierships in a row, starting in The Club Championship again came down to the last round, with other clubs and Grades competing across the board, which I think is fantastic for the game. We used 46 players in First Grade during the season which made it difficult to maintain team consistency. But as Tim said, they re not excuses. That s the way the game of rugby goes. It throws up challenges and it is how we try to mitigate them that matters. The teams that deserved to be in the grand final made it through. Those teams now have the experience and depth that we have had for the past 10 years. Eastwood, Manly and Souths are on the rise. Other teams have challenged the standards we set and, again, that s good for the game. Following the club rugby competition, SUFC fielded the bulk of the Sydney Stars team, along with Balmain Rugby Club, in the National Rugby Championship. The Stars made it to the semi-finals where they lost to Brisbane City, who went on to defeat Canberra Vikings in the grand final. Well done to all of the players who donned the blue and gold in the 2015 competition and particularly to head coach Peter Playford and his staff. Peter did a magnificent job and assembled a wonderful support team. Well done Pete! Reiterating my 2014 report, I m delighted with the achievements we secured throughout the NSW club rugby competition. 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 2016 will be no exception. I must place on record however my disappointment at the continuing efforts by the Sydney Rugby Union and the Suburban Rugby Union to hold back excellence in Sydney rugby. Our competition is the only one I know that has placed restrictions on players enjoying the game by the introduction of both a points system and a salary cap. In addition I am advised that NSW Suburban Rugby is now restricting players from playing in their competition under a variety of circumstances including if they have had a game with the NRC or the club is affiliated with an NRC club. 8 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

9 Congratulations also go to Will Davies and Declan Moore, the best back and best forward in First Grade Colts, and to Hamish Dunbar, the Best and Fairest Colt. The Awards night also honoured Christian Yassmin, the leading tryscorer across all teams, with 25 for the season, and Christian Kagiassis, the club s leading pointscorer with 260. Well done the Christians! I also extend my congratulations to our talented pool of coaches for getting all teams to the finals. David Dennis at Stars game with Tony Sukkar from Buildcorp After a wonderful display of excellence by the Wallabies and The All Blacks in the World Cup, our administrators continue to dumb down! It is a shame. Sadly, we have had to bid farewell to First Grade coach Chris Malone, who has taken up a role with the NSW Waratahs. He was also added to the Wallabies ranks as kicking coach for the World Cup and no doubt helped in Bernard Foley s wonderful tournament. Thanks for a job well done, Nobby, and best wishes with the Waratahs. SUFC s Junior Program continues to grow and impress. Our Under 11s had two wins a draw and two losses at the 2015 State Championships in June. Our Under 12s just missed a semi-final berth and our Under 13s were beaten by Manly in grand final. Congratulations to Rhys Wheneroa on his selection in the Sydney Junior Rugby Union 2015 Under 18 Representative team. Rhys, while still at school, played for SUFC Colts after just turning 17. Well done. ANNUAL AWARDS Congratulations to David Hickey on being named Best and Fairest in First Grade for David was also named the Michael Griffin Player s Player of the year. And he finished fourth in the Catchpole Medal for Player of the Year across the competition. David captained the First XV this season and truly led from the front. His leadership came on in leaps and bounds and he ll be better for the experience next season. Congratulations also to Jim Stewart, best back in First Grade, and Tomas Robertson, the best forward in First Grade, and to all other best and fairest winners through the Grades. SUFC s Leading Try Scorer for 2015, Christian Yassmin REPRESENTATIVE PLAYERS Having already mentioned our seven World Cup representatives, I extend congratulations to hooker Folau Fainga a and prop Matt Sandell, who were key members of the Australian squad at the World Under 20 Rugby Union Championships played in Italy, and to Pat McCutcheon, Ed Jenkins and Greg Jeloudev, who are members of the Australian Sevens squad to contest the World Rugby Sevens Series. As members of the squad they will be in line for selection in the team for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janiero. Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 9

10 SUFC has also provided a host of players to the Super XV ranks, including Peter Betham, Dave Dennis, Israel Folau, Bernard Foley, Tolu Latu, Pat McCutcheon, Dean Mumm, Nick Phipps, Paddy Ryan, Will Skelton, Jim Stewart and Jeremy Tilse with the NSW Waratahs; Tom English, Mitch Inman, Sam Jeffries, Tom Kingston, Nik Stirzaker and Laurie Weeks with the Melbourne Rebels; Sam Carter and James Dargaville with the ACT Brumbies, and Nathan Charles and Ben McCalman with Western Force. WOMEN S RUGBY While the men s club collected another four titles, Sydney University s women s club also earned the First Grade crown in the Sydney women s premier division competition. Sydney University defeated Parramatta to collect the Jack Scott Cup in a high standard grand final played at Grantham Reserve. They earned a grand final berth with a comprehensive win over defending premiers Warringah in the semi-final. It was Sydney University s first title since Hearty congratulations. Among those who helped the club to the title were Ashleigh Hewson, Michelle Bailey, Grace Hamilton and Sydney University Sport and Fitness Elite Athlete Program sports scholarship holder Emily Chancellor, who have been included in an extended Wallaroos squad for the 2017 World Women s Rugby Cup, to be held in Ireland. Our congratulations and best wishes to the four. It should be noted that Ashleigh represented Australia in the 2010 and 2014 Women s Rugby World Cups, while Michelle was selected in the extended squad for the 2014 World Cup. VOLUNTEERS Each year I make mention of the wonderful work our club volunteers do and this year is no exception. No football club can operate without dedicated volunteers who give up their time to assist in our rugby program. Be it coaches, managers, statisticians, ball boys or water carriers, all are vital and truly valued by everyone at SUFC. As an acknowledgement to a former volunteer Stephen Rowntree, who we sadly lost in 2013, Our Ball Boys are some of our most dedicated volunteers and the volunteers still at the club, we now hold Rounders Day each year to say thank you for your efforts. I would also like to thank Angus Jackson for his voluntary work on the financial side of the club assisting our General Manager each month. SUFC FULL-TIME STAFF At season s end Hannah Catchpole our General Manager took the opportunity to return home to her native New Zealand where she has taken up a senior position as Chief Executive Officer of the Otago Racing Club. Thank you Hannah for your dedication and loyalty right to your departure. We will miss you. Sarah Dill-Macky has been a tower of strength throughout the year and Sarah is a key member of our team with a bright future. As I mentioned earlier Chris (Nobby) Malone has been successfully appointed assistant coach (attack) of the Waratahs and of course he has served as kicking coach with the Wallabies on the World Cup campaign. This reflects the esteem Nobby is held in by the rugby community. We will miss his wonderful disposition and knowledge of the game and wish him continued success in his professional rugby career. David Haigh takes over as GM from Hannah. David has had a successful record with the Colts as coach and now takes on the new role of GM. We wish David every success. 10 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

11 Finally I cannot speak highly enough of our medical team: Dr Katherine Rae, Dr Stuart Pavely and Shane Kertanegara. We thank you for the wonderful way you have managed our player welfare and health. SPONSORS During each year of my presidency I have led the chorus to thank Tony and Josephine Sukkar at Buildcorp as our major sponsor and this year is no exception. One of the longest sponsorships in rugby, Buildcorp has been our club sponsor for 24 years, a truly wonderful contribution. In their commitment to the cause, Buildcorp this year also sponsored the National Rugby Championship. Last year the club welcomed Urbanest as a Premium Sponsor of SUFC and we and hope the relationship continues for many years to come. Our club sponsors are so important to the program we are able to provide for our players. Thanks to each of you on behalf of the club and the players. We do not underestimate their value at any point. There are too many sponsors to name individually, but please accept my thanks on behalf of the club, its players and supporters. An entertaining and intriguing Q and A was one of the many highlights of the afternoon, with a panel including All Black Jamie Joseph, Wallaby World Cup winning second-rower David Giffin and Cricket Australia s High Performance Manager Pat Howard, who chalked up 20 Tests for the Wallabies as well as playing for SUFC. A big thank you must go to our lunch sponsors Trivett and DHL, and SUFC Major Sponsor Buildcorp for a brilliant day. IN CLOSING Clubs don t win four out of seven premierships without massive support from our volunteers, support staff and a strong committee heading up the club. It has made my job that much more rewarding, so I again say thank you to everyone who has been involved at SUFC. Best wishes to Hannah Catchpole and Chris Malone, who are moving on to greener pastures. And vale to Claire Brockhoff, widow of David, and Nell Corkin, widow of Bill, who both passed away in July. While David and Bill were two of the great coaches and characters at SUFC in years past, Claire and Nell were also great contributors in their own right and very welcome and knowledgeable spectators when they paid us a visit. Our sympathy and respect goes to the Brockhoff and Corkin families. The 2015 season marked the end of an era when we hosted Northern Suburbs at No.1 Oval on Saturday, July 25. It was our last game on the famous oval after 152 years. Next season we will be competing at the refurbished No.2 Oval, on a football square with a purpose-built grandstand. James and Daniel Panebianco (and baby Raffaele) from SUFC sponsors Ralph s Cafe TRIVETT FINALS LUNCH The 2015 SUFC World Cup luncheon, held at Doltone House, Pyrmont on September 25 was a great success. Hosted by SUFC alumnus Peter FitzSimons AM, the afternoon contained its fair share of esteemed guests including the Chancellor of Sydney University, Belinda Hutchinson. With that in mind, I am excited by the season ahead and to welcoming more players to our great club. SUFC has a proud tradition of producing fine young rugby players and men. And we ll keep working to ensure the tradition continues. David Mortimer AO President Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 11

12 SUFC Staff Thank You Christian Kagiassis, Leading Points Scorer for the Club in 2015 Sydney University Football Club (SUFC) is a very unique environment. Although we as fulltime staff work on a daily basis to ensure the boys are provided with the best possible Rugby Program both on and off the field, our work would simply not be possible without the assistance of a number of hard working, dedicated and passionate volunteers and support staff.these people are the heartbeat of the club and we would be lost without them, so we would like to thank them all for their individual contributions this season. To our incredibly devoted Club President, David Mortimer AO. His guidance and experience are truly invaluable to the entire organisation, and each of us would like to thank him for the remarkable support he has afforded us in our roles at the club. He is an extraordinary businessman and a true gentleman, and the success of the club since his involvement can be directly attributed to his great leadership. David, you will always be remembered as a vital part of the development of SUFC into the premier rugby club in Australia, so thank you. To each of the members of the Executive Committee in 2015.Thank you for your time and insights into securing the future success of the club. With special mention to Andrew Wennerbom and Angus Jackson who go above and beyond in their support of the club. We are so lucky to have the support from such an enthusiastic and wise committee. To Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness (SUSF), and in particular their President, Bruce Ross and Executive Director, Rob Smithies. It is safe to say that without their significant assistance the amazing opportunities, facilities and experiences our boys have whilst at SUFC would not be possible. Thank you also to Matt Phelps for his work within the High Performance department, and to Leonie Lum for her generous support of our scholarship holders within the Elite Athlete Program. To the most amazing Medical team any club could ask for, led by Dr Katherine Rae and expertly supported by Dr David Samra, Dr Dane Cole- Clark, Dr Nicole Bulman and Dr Leigh Golding. This team of doctors make it their top priority to ensure each of our players receive the very best medical attention both on game day and during the week, and that our injured players have the best recovery and are able to return play as soon as possible. A particular thank you must go to Dr Rae for her incredible efforts during the home game fixture against Parramatta this year, where she performed a lifesaving procedure on the rugby field to an opposition player who did not have a team doctor. Without her quick thinking medical expertise, paramedics informed SUFC that the player would have surely died. This remarkable effort saw her nominated for a Pride of Australia Bravery Medal and we are so proud of her. Congratulations Kath! 12 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

13 To the Physiotherapy team, headed by Stuart Pavely and supported by Shane Kertanegara in Grade and Daniella Thrassis in Colts. You truly are one of the most invaluable resources at our club. Your expertise and commitment within the program, and yourcompassion for our players is nothing short of incredible. Thank you also to all the strappers who have helped out during the season. Our boys are so lucky to have your services at their doorstep. To all our volunteer Coaches and Managers, from 1st Grade right down to those at a Juniors level. It is people like you that keep our great game of Rugby going. Your inspirational dedication to trainings, games, events and more does not go unnoticed. Many may underestimate the role of a Coach or Manager in sport, but you all are some of the greatest influences in shaping our boys not only as players but as men. We cannot thank you enough for all the hard work and time you put into the club and our boys. To our Strength and Conditioning staff, with Tim Leahy in Grade and Tristan Sharp in Colts. Although this year we saw you both move on to other endeavours, your contribution towards developing our players athletically has been second to none. From early mornings in the gym, to late nights on field, you have been a critical element of the SUFC Rugby Program. We thank you for your time at the club and wish you luck for the future. Thank you also to all our interns who helped in the process, including Ed Arnott, Shane Ball, Graham Bell, Sebastian Moran and Jordan Pickard. On top of this, thank you to our newest Athletic Performance contributions in Lou Lou Stanley as Rehabilitation Coordinator and Henry Mitchell as Movement Coach. You are both prime examples of how SUFC is dedicated towards providing the best support in achieving success in all facets. Your expertise is greatly appreciated and the boys have loved having you on board with them this season. To the most valuable and passionate Athletic Performance resource this club has ever seen, Tom Carter. Not only for his incredible assistance in taking over the Colts program after Tristan s departure mid-season, but also for his unrivalled contribution and devotion to the whole athletic program. Tom is usually the first one there in the morning and the last to leave. His ability to drive performance and provide the best environment for our players to excel is exceptional. We must also thank him for his mentoring and welfare support of our players, the boys are so lucky to have him at their side. To all involved in the SUFC Juniors Program, from our Juniors Development Officer, Ivan Pomare, Juniors President, Tevita Katafono, and the support of Charles Carter and all other Coaches and Managers. The progress the Juniors Program has made over the past few years has been nothing short of outstanding. We love seeing our youngest Students so eagerly involved in playing rugby they are the future of the game and we are so blessed to have you all driving their development here at SUFC. We do not underestimate the importance of you all in establishing the foundation of the pathway through which our players progress. Charles Carter received a Sydney University Gold in 2015 for his contribution to the SUFC Juniors Program Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 13

14 To our other incredible volunteers on game days including the support of Sue and Richard Dill-Macky, our Ground Announcer, Andrew Coorey and Sideline Managers, Bruce Lin and Helmut Gebels. To be blessed with such amazing volunteers who you can rely on each and every week is so rare, but you all have been so remarkable in your efforts throughout the season. 1st Grade after their warm-up before their West Harbour fixture at Concord Oval To one of the most unbelievably avid and caring Gear Stewards our club, and possibly sport in general, has ever seen, Ash Miller. His unwavering support and unbelievable dedication to the club is instrumental in the smooth execution of all game days. The number of hours Ash puts in to ensuring all kit is ready and in working order for all teams will always be appreciated, and you can always count on Ash to help with almost any request and done with a smile! Thank you also to our Colts Gear Steward, Ed Walgien. Ed s eagerness and ongoing contribution to the Colts program will always be remembered. He is never late, will always put his hand up to help and is never afraid to go the extra mile for the better of the club. Ash and Ed, we could not do it without you both. To our Ball Kids, led by our senior ball boy Max Miller, and supported by Jackson Campton, Josh Malone, Ethan Allardice, Hamish Malone, Riley Campton and Viki Miller. You are the most professional and well-mannered ball kids in the whole Shute Shield competition. You are the first there every game day up until the final whistle for 1st Grade an extraordinary commitment, thank you. To our club photographers, Andrew Frazer, Dale Caterson and Peter McFadyen. Each and every photo we use at SUFC of our players (including those within this Annual Report) has been taken by one of these men who volunteer their time on game days to provide for the club and the entire competition. It is easy to overlook contributions that may often become an expectation to many people, such as photos on match reports, within publications and used on our website and more, but we really do appreciate all that you do for us, and the whole SUFC community loves seeing your work. You are all incredible contributors to the club. To Craig Fizza Fear, our Club Statistician and so much more. The time and effort you put into keeping track of (and adding to) our statistical history at SUFC is unbelievable. From weekly updates for the newsletter, the completion of results sheets on game days, an array of statistics for our players to see at home games, and the comprehensive statistics found throughout our SUFC publications, your work is fundamental to our club. We are so lucky to have you, and cannot thank you enough. To the Grounds Staff at SUSF. Ray Hunt and Daryl Davidson, and the entire Grounds team do a phenomenal job, despite all of our protests and bickering about places to train. The constant juggle to prepare enough grass for 365 days of sport is a very difficult one, and we would like to say thank you for your support this season. To Luke and Michelle Mitchell, and all the staff at The Grandstand. We have loved calling The Grandstand our Clubroom this season and we can t wait to work with you again as we make the move to Oval No.2. To all the support we receive from the Residential Colleges at Sydney University; Wayne Erickson (St Andrew s College), Dr Ivan Head (St Paul s College), Lisa Sutherland (Wesley College) and Adrian Diethelm (St John s College). It is not always easy to balance University, Rugby and College life, but the Colleges here at Sydney University provide the very best support to our boys. We must also thank those Colleges that so kindly allow us to utilise their grounds and facilities, your help is always appreciated. Hannah Catchpole, Sarah Dill-Macky, David Haigh and Chris Malone SUFC Fulltime Staff 14 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

15 General Manager s Report Once again 2015 has been a very positive season for the club. We won the Club Championship for the 12th year in a row, 2nd Grade played out of their skin to win their Grand Final and the entire Colts department did the club exceptionally proud with a clean sweep across 1st, 2nd and 3rd Colts. We played Randwick in each of our finals fixtures and it was delightful to cross the line victorious in all games after faltering against them in the earlier round games. Our preseason to the 2015 Shute Shield year started off so well at the end of the The club was so lucky to have Tom Carter and Tim Leahy in charge of giving the preseason program a completely new look and I think it worked exceptionally well. Players were fitter and stronger going into the start of the round games but also had tangible results they could see and work towards from this newly designed program. It was great to also see Colts giving some of the Grade players a run for their money in the in the fitness department! Tristan Sharp must also be commended for his work with the Colts during this time. The club said goodbye to both of our Strength and Conditioning coaches Tim Leahy and Tristan Sharp this year and I thank them both for their tremendous efforts during their time at the club both will be missed. Tristan has returned to Ireland to take up a position in professional rugby and Tim is building his new business here and overseas. The season was not without the usual challenges but as to be expected everyone at SUFC; the players, staff and its many volunteers gave their all and were rewarded with another Club Championship trophy. It came right down to the wire and fittingly it was secured as the teams played their last games on No.1 Oval. It was such a joy to be able to celebrate the victory with all our supporters, members, and SUFC family after a long season. At the end of the season we also said goodbye to our 1st Grade Head Coach Chris Nobby Malone. What I love about SUFC is that it is not just a stepping stone to higher honours for our players but also our coaches and staff. Nobby goes with our best wishes to the Waratahs to take up at position as Assistant Coach under Daryl Gibson and as I sit and write this report Nobby is also currently over in London as Kicking Coach for the Wallabies during the Rugby World Cup. We look forward to watching his continued progress but also having Nobby stop by the ground to watch a few games and also drop off his two boys on a Saturday so they can continue as ball boys for the club.

16 Chris Nobby Malone will be with Nick Phipps next year at the Waratahs Just before finals the club was rocked by the sudden illness of President David Mortimer AO. Missing from the Grand Final games everyone immediately noticed his absence. Thankfully David has made it through and assures me he will be at SUFC games next year. Personally not having David on call was a major shock to the system for me. I have learnt so much from him over the last two years and was determined not to let anything fall by the wayside whilst he wasn t at the helm. I have worked in rugby for over 12 years now and I can honestly say I have never come across a better President. SUFC is part of David s family and we have been so very lucky to have such a wonderful man guiding this club. At this point I must almost make special mention of Andrew Wennerbom. I cannot thank Andrew enough for stepping into David s shoes and ensuring the club continued to run smoothly. This year has been a big year in rugby with the 2015 Rugby World Club being played in London. SUFC continues its tradition of supplying great talent to the Wallaby pool with 6 players in the team; Israel Folau, Bernard Foley, Nick Phipps, Ben McCalman, Will Skelton and Dean Mumm. Each has had great campaigns both at Super and Wallaby levels and it is terrific to watch them play. Nick Phipps and Bernard Foley gave up their time earlier in the year to run a junior clinic for some lucky winners of an auction prize from the 2014 Trivett Finals Lunch. In the pouring rain at No.1 Oval they put three boys through their paces and then shouted them a coffee at favourite hot spot Ralph s Café to thaw out. In keeping with the Rugby World Cup theme we decided to get amongst all the action and move the traditional Trivett Finals Lunch to late September to become the Trivett Rugby World Cup Lunch. Six hundred people supported the lunch in a new location at Doltone House Darling Island Wharf.

Panellists David Giffin, Jamie Joseph and Pat Howard were wonderfully received by the audience. MC and former SUFC player Peter FitzSimons AM provided much humour to the day and in a moving tribute to the work of SUFC President David Mortimer AO, University of Sydney Chancellor Belinda Hutchinson gave a wonderful speech on David s behalf. In its second year in the Buildcorp National Rugby Championship SUFC along with Balmain Rugby Club competed under the banner of the Sydney Stars was vastly different from its inaugural year and under the leadership of Head Coach Peter Playford and assistants Dan Parks, David Lyons and Tim Davidson the team surprised everyone to finish in the top four and come ever so close to knocking of the top placed team in the semi-final. Pete and his team stuck to the team s core goal of developing new talent. It was wonderful to watch new players be given the opportunity to test their skills against seasoned Super Rugby players and I know they will be better for it in their subsequent rugby careers. For Sydney University Football Club being able to provide the next stepping stone for its young players is terrific. that the boys are provided with the best opportunity to succeed possible. Rain, hail or shine you are there at training and on match day and I thank you so very much. To David Mortimer, Andrew Wennerbom and Angus Jackson thank you so much for your guidance of not only the club but of my role also this year. I continue to learn under your direction. It is hard to believe I have now completed two seasons of Shute Shield and Buildcorp NRC. The time has simply flown by. The decision to leave and take up a role in NZ was not a decision I made lightly. I know that my time at the club will stand me in good stead and I look forward to coming to visit and watch the boys at their new home at No.2 Oval. The facilities they will have access to under the guidance of such great coaches is second to none. Hannah Catchpole General Manager Once again my whole hearted thanks must go out to our many volunteers. Without you this club just could not operate. Each week you give up so many hours of your time to ensure SUFC continues to run and Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 17

18 Finance Report The Club is reporting modest shortfall of $10,757 for the year ending 31 October Given the additional pressures the budget was subject to this year, this is still a reasonable outcome. Notwithstanding this shortfall, the Club remains in a strong financial position and is debt free. Total income for the year was $1,305,737 down 1.8% on the previous year. There were decreases across most income categories: Grants and Donations (down 12.4% to $387,057); Home Gate and Sponsorship (down 10.3% to $437,176); Affiliation income (down 20.0% to $61,761) and Fundraising Activities (down 16.4% to $262,715). Other income was materially up as this included amongst other things, cost recovery from the Sydney Stars 2014 season. Total expenditure for the year was $1,316,488 down 0.4% on the previous year. Increases in expenditure were incurred in Administration Costs (up 3.3% to $265,299); Marketing and Promotion (up 27.0% to $10,137) and Other expenditure (up 150.7% to $12,880). These increases were offset by decreases in Rugby Operations (down 8.1% to $657,190); Development (down 3.3% to $129,569) and Fundraising Activities (down 12.6% to $177,313). 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 the Club s General Manager Hannah Catchpole. Hannah was well supported by Operations 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.

21 SUFC Foundation Report First Grade at their Captain s Run at the 2015 Season Launch before Round 1 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 12 years. The proceeds from this program have accumulated into a dedicated capital fund, the balance of which currently stands at just over $3m. 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 (SUFCF) is pleased to announce that the capital fund totalled $3.13m at 30 June 2015 (including franking credits). The Fund is professionally managed and invested by Ord Minnett Ltd in accordance with the approved investment mandate and agreed asset allocation of Equities and Interest Bearing Securities, Term Deposits and Cash, under the overall direction of the SUFCF 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 2015 financial year was mostly positive for stocks, however volatility did emerge towards the end of the year predominantly influenced by the potential increase in US interest rates, continued global debt and geopolitical issues, low growth levels as well as elevated company valuations across the market. The SUFCF fund was up 7.4% (net of fees) for FY15. The SUFCF fund has now returned 54.0% over the past 5 years. This amounts to an annual return since 1 July 2010 of 9.2% per annum, a pleasing result given the balanced asset allocation of the fund and therefore the lower risk when compared to the ASX 200. The ASX 200 Accumulation Index has returned 9.7% per annum during the same period. Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 21

22 bequests pledged over recent years. Despite on-field success, 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 still 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. Whilst the 2015 year saw no changes at a Foundation Board level, some additions and retirements can be expected over the next 12 months as part of the Board s renewal program. In closing, with regret I recently announced to the Board that I have decided to resign as Chairman of the Sydney University Football Club Foundation. Following on from the excellent platform laid by the late David Clarke, it has been a great honour to have served the Foundation and the Football Club. I have been privileged to have had such a capable Board and I greatly appreciate the efforts in recent years to raise additional funds to provide greater financial stability to the Club. I am confident the legacy we have built will continue to grow to ensure the Foundation continues to support the broader goals of the Club. Banjo Travers in 2nd Colts against Warringah Cameron Clyne Chairman, SUFC Foundation Net earnings of $361,231 for the year to 30 June 2015 were in line with the strong result achieved in 2014 ($365,775). After providing for the reserves necessary to preserve the capital value of the corpus of the fund, the Foundation was able to make a final distribution of $125,000 to the Sydney University Football Club for the 2015 financial year. The distributions made to the Club since the Foundation s inception now totals approximately $1,015,000. The Foundation s ability to distribute such funds to the Club on an annual basis is made possible by having a strong capital fund. On behalf of the Foundation, I would like to thank the generosity of our valued donors who have played a significant role in growing the balance of the fund through donations and 22 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

23 Friends of SUFC Report SUFC team at Kiama Sevens led by coach Julian Huxley The Friends of Sydney University Football Club comprises over 40 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. In early March the Friends hosted a cocktail party where SUFC players and Friends mingled and we discussed how the Friend s mentor program can assist players in their chosen career path. It was a pleasure for me to attend the Annual Colts Dinner as keynote speaker this year. I was able to introduce the Friends to the Colts and their parents and speak about my own rugby career and experiences whilst also informing the young players about the value of critical thinking in everything they do. It was pleasing to once again see some of our young players attend the dinner. The Friends welcomed some new members this year and also farewelled a few longstanding Friends and I would like to thank them for their support and commitment to the Friends and contribution to the Club over the past years. The Friends is proud of its contribution to the Club and looks forward to continuing its support of the Club and its young rugby players. David Kirk Chairman, Friends of SUFC At the 19th Annual Dinner of the Friends at St Andrew s College our Guest Speaker this year was Mr Bill Pulver, Chief Executive Officer of the ARU. Bill spoke of his plans and priorities for Australian Rugby and his speech certainly provided some healthy debate and contributed to a successful evening.

24 SURPASS Report 1st Colts winning a line-out against West Harbour SURPASS Careers Night led by Drew Hickey, Tim Davidson and Angus Stuart Our mission at SURPASS is to ensure our players, past and present, are successful off the field, not just on the field. As the hub for learning, development and networking, and as a valuable mentoring resource for our players, in 2015 SURPASS has continued to evolve its interactions and offerings. As a new initiative, this year SURPASS hosted a Careers Night one evening after training. Around 30 players took time to consider what they could be doing now to better set themselves up for success in careers post rugby. The past player panel addressed questions ranging from, how could I best improve my chances to play representative rugby? If I were to do this while studying more what would I study? And, is there a career I could start now and still play sport at a high level? Continuing our tradition of bringing past and current players together in an off-field setting SURPASS hosted its 5th annual Learning and Development day at the Grandstand in July. Senior lecturer from the University of Sydney Business School, David Oliver, challenged the group to apply various strategic frameworks to companies and brands such as Netflix, Uber and Kodak. Many thanks to David for his generous time and effort. From a networking and reunion perspective this year SURPASS focussed its efforts on attracting past players to the SUFC RWC lunch rather than hosting a specific match day reunion. We see more scope to do this in future years as a very natural way to reinforce our connections to each other and the club, to where our bonds formed. In 2016 we aim to encourage past players, especially those now living out of Sydney, to make a weekend of the Friday lunch and the following match day. Each of these events help reinforce the commitment we have to each other as those wearing or who have worn the blue and gold hoops. Front of mind for us always is that we are available to every player, regardless of Grade. We believe that if all we do is make one more introduction, then we are participating in our players development and explorations of their own rugby and career journeys. SURPASS stands for Sydney University Rugby Players Association for Securing Success. Angus Stuart Chairman, SURPASS 24 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

25 Medical Report 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 and Dr Leigh Golding. The Sports Physiotherapy services were provided by Shane Kertanegara and Daniella Thrassis. Katherine, David, Shane and Dani all work together at The Sports Clinic at Sydney University. 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. Medical Services included having a doctor present at both Colts and Grade venues every game day. Dr Rae looked after the 1st and 2nd Grade games, Dr Golding looked after 3rd and 4th Grade Games and Dr Samra looked after the Colts games. Physiotherapists, Shane Kertanegara (Grade), and Daniella Thrassis (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, followed by strength and conditioning staff, in order to be cleared for selection by the coaching staff. Toby Cooke receives medical treatment during the game Jack Bliss being attended to during Colts Finals Series 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 Daniella 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. Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 25

26 Season 2015 saw a continuation of the successful Physiotherapy injury prevention program. Screenings 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 ba sis the physiotherapists compared players screenings to their baseline. Significant deviations from baseline gave more information on a player s body. This allowed for the modification of training volumes accordingly as well as the implementation of specific exercises aiming to change deficits from the screenings. 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. Pilates and prehabilitation classes were driven by strength and conditioning staff this year with the ongoing aim of preventing injuries in those identified at being most at risk. 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 Grand Final 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. Overall the number of injuries reported this year was over 200 less than was reported last year. This drop of more than 20 percent from last year is interesting with the knowledge that the season is the same length as last years and this therefore can t be included as a factor. The areas of injuries that went against this trend and maintained past levels or increased levels included the areas of shoulder, neck and hip and groin.

This is compared to 59 last year and 57 the year before that. The most significant changes from last year was the re-emergence of significant hamstring injuries, doubling from 4 last year to 8 this year and the increase in shoulder instability injuries, with 7 shoulder instabilities causing significant lost game time compared to 2 last year. There was also a rise in serious neck injuries with 4 players having neurological compromise from bulging discs, and two requiring surgery. 4 Hand and wrist injuries: 1 radius fracture, 1 metacarpal fracture, 1 scaphoid fracture, 1 thumb CMC jt dislocation 2 Foot and ankle injuries: 1 Lis franc, 1 fibula/ syndesmosis fracture 2 Head and neck fractures: 1 jaw, 1 orbit 2 Neck Disc Prolapses 2 Lacerations: 1 facial laceration, 1 Knee wound dehiscence. 13 Foot and ankle injuries: Syndesmosis sprains 9, Fibula fracture 2, Lis Franc sprain 1, navicular stress injury 1 12 Shoulder injuries: Shoulder subluxation 4, Shoulder dislocation 3, fractured clavicle 2, Neuropraxia 2, SC Joint dislocation 1 Dr Katherine Rae after 2nd Grade Grand Final Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 27

29 Comparing this season to last year was easier this year as both seasons were the same length, again finishing early in August to make way for the National Rugby Championships. The overall number of injuries reported dropped again this year, this time by approximately 20 percent. Our definition of an injury is a very loose one, being anything reported to medical staff on game day or during the week. The number of injuries causing 5 weeks or more of missed game time or requiring surgery did not significantly change from last year. Therefore the decrease in injuries might have been due to less minor injuries or less fastidious reporting of the lesser injuries and illnesses, particularly those that did not involve missing game time. One injury whose incidence can be relied on as very accurate is concussion. The good news is that for whatever playing or training reason, concussion incidence was at its lowest level since 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 fully resolved in less than one minute. Caution has led to over rather than underreporting to ensure no concussion is missed. Team doctors review all head injuries during the following week. Thankfully our players are very good a reporting concussion when it occurs and this allows the medical staff to best manage affected players. Management includes the player resting until symptom free for at least 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 23 concussions in Grade players this year which were deemed more serious in that they took longer than the usual 2-3 days to fully recover and therefore resulted in the player missing 1 or more games in the subsequent weeks. Number of weeks to return to play in Colts after concussion was not recorded. The 67 concussions recorded during the season occurred in 50 players across both Colts and Grade, as 15 players had more than one concussion during the season. 13 of the 15 players with multiple concussions had only two concussions for the season, the other 2 had three concussions. Independent of how long they were rested post concussion, only one of these players was concussed two weeks in a row. There were four concussions in four players that resulted in players missing 5 or more games. In three of these four players it was because they chose to finish the season early due to their prior history of concussion injury, for two of the three it was their second concussion this season. The fourth took 6 weeks before he was cleared to return to play. There were 2 days when 4 players were concussed and 2 days when 5 players were concussed. They were on the days when we played games against Randwick (5), Southern Districts (5), Eastern Suburbs (4) and Eastwood (4). This year an interesting finding to note was that majority of the injuries that decreased in incidence were acute injuries including those directly related to contact such as concussions, facial lacerations, thigh haematomas, and shoulder subluxations, as well as those that may or may not have been related to contact including ankle sprains and knee sprains. This brings up questions like whether the number of collisions in a game, game tactics and/or tackling techniques have changed this year and this may be responsible. It is not as good to note that injuries which are for the most part non-contact and overuse injuries, including groin and hamstring injuries and lower limb stress injuries, went against the negative trend by their levels staying the same or increasing compared to last year. Of the 26 muscle strains that caused players to miss game time, 3 were calf injury, 18 were hamstring injuries and 5 were groin strains. 10 of these 26 muscles strains (1 calf, 8 hamstring and 1 groin), or just over 1/3 happened during training sessions and not during games. 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.

30 Club Captain s Report After the monstrosity of the McCarthy administration in 2014 there was much political capital to be gained in the 2015 SUFC Club Captain election. When the election was announced for March, the factional heads of SUFC began to wield power behind the scenes. It emerged early, by virtue of a few leaks within the parties that Benn Melrose and Al Ryan would be the preferred candidates and the stage was set for one of the most hotly contested elections since 2011 where Aldy King won a balance of power by a single vote, that of Jack Farrer. With rumblings in the caucus throughout February and much uncertainty over the allegiance of key factional heads, David Hickey, member for Newcastle and leader for the Country Party spoke out in public support of Melrose along with Hugh Frazer, the member for Wentworth and leader of the CBD Party. In response, Chris Talakai, leader of the Poly Pathways Party and Jake Gordon, leader of the Pencil Party confirmed their support for Ryan, who pushed firmly ahead in the polls as the election approached. March 5, 2015 the stage was set. As expected, the election was impossibly close, with neither Melrose nor Ryan able to form a majority government. In a back door deal orchestrated by Jock Merriman, the member for Hume, to remove the risk of any potential mid-season coup (never before experienced by a leader from SUFC) the deal was done and history was made. It would be Melrose and Ryan as Co-Club Captains for With the Ladies Day budget in a deep deficit after 2014, policy item one for the new government was to return Ladies Day to surplus (have more ladies at the event than players). With the outstanding help of James McMahon (Minister for Girlfriends), Jonny Vaux (Minister for Colleges), Jock Merriman (Minister for Country Music), David Hickey (Minister for Grounds), Dane McCarthy (Minister for Foreign Affairs) and Chris Ingate (Minister for Alcohol) and several other members of SUFC the surplus was delivered and Ladies Day was a resounding success. A special mention must be made to Ben Hughes who established himself as a special part of the furniture of the SUFC Grandstand (with his musical talents) gaining himself the Music portfolio for the remainder of the year. SUFC Ladies Day in 2015 was held in Round 7 against Randwick 30 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

31 to a black tie function. Attendees were also privileged to have Tom Coolican, the SUFC Ambassador to the United States of America present on the evening. In true Donald Trump style, Tom made a highly controversial speech which polarised the crowd with repeated references to his intimate relationship with the New Zealand Prime Minister Kevin Mealamu. The 2015 Players Ball held at the Establishment Ballroom The Players Ball retained its integrity as the greatest achievement of the McCarthy administration, receiving special attention in 2015 to ensure its longevity and legacy as an annual celebration of the playing group. Members of the Young SUFC Colts Party, led by Jack McCalman, deserve special recognition for making up a far larger portion of the tickets sold this year and firmly integrating into the wider Parliament with flying colours. All members made an outstanding contribution to the success of the night, with the exception of Will McDonnell who was turned away for failing to comply with dress regulations by security for attempting to wear bootleg wrangler jeans, a flannelette shirt and an akubra hat In a year that was full of fantastic achievements, many of which deserve attention, it is necessary to highlight a few specifically. The combined effort of SUFC players to win the Club Championship for the twelfth consecutive year will retain a very special place in the history of the club. Despite popular belief at the half way point of the season that it could not be achieved, the resilience of all players to achieve this milestone under pressure is testament to the character of this current playing group. Congratulations must go to all players and all members of staff for the countless hours of preparation, sacrifice and hard work, all of which are reflected through this fantastic achievement. It is popularly advocated that the measure of a club s culture is the state of their Second Grade team. By definition a Second Grade side has a varied mix of players often with differing mind sets. The team comprises those who are disappointed to not be in first grade, young emerging players of the future waiting for an opportunity and old players like James Swan, amazed at the end of each of the 80 minutes SUFC 2nd Grade celebrating after their Grand Final success Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 31

32 that he hasn t had a cardiac arrest, it truly is a mixed bag of skillsets, experience and attitude. Finishing fourth on the league table in a season of mixed results, the performance of the Second Grade team to win the only Grade Grand Final for the club in 2015, having won 3 of the last 4 titles, deserves great recognition. The win was truly indicative of a playing group willing to sacrifice selflessly for the success of the club and all players involved deserve great credit. Perhaps the greatest achievement of the club in 2015 was the performance of the Colts, returning to the prosperity of 2011, winning all three premierships. Having trailed Randwick collectively all season, the performance from all three Colts teams at Forshaw on that special Grand Final Sunday will seldom be forgotten by many and will have a lasting effect on the future success of SUFC into the next decade. It should also be noted that the performance of Chris Ingate during the Colts Grand Finals however, will seldom be forgotten by many into the next millennia. As Co-Club Captain s we are forever indebted to the work of Hannah Catchpole and Sarah Dill-Macky who were of invaluable assistance, not only in doing a lot of the work behind the scenes that we took credit for, but reconciling our on-going disagreements (many of which required significant mediation). We would also like to make special mention of the many volunteers who truly are the soul of the club. Whilst we pride ourselves as being at the forefront of professionalism, rugby at SUFC simply could not function without the unconditional sacrifice of our volunteers. The volunteers are the special few who go unnoticed by many, but make the most important contribution and on behalf of all players we would like to thank them for their ongoing service, our club is better a better place for their involvement. It would also be remise of us to not finish by making special mention of the outgoing Tim Leahy from SUFC. I think we speak for all players in saying that Tim has been an instrumental part of the success that SUFC has experienced in recent times. Whilst Tim is a very understated person who rarely accepts plaudits for the fruits of his work, his influence on SUFC is permanent and will not be forgotten. Many SUFC players who have gone on to representative honours have Tim to thank for countless hours of selfless service in forwarding their careers and SUFC as a community have Tim to thank for his outstanding contribution to the organisation, his influence will be forever etched into the stitching of the blue and gold hoops.

33 Rugby Program Report Our Ball Boys bowing their heads at the ANZAC Day fixture against Northern Suburbs At the end of season 2015 I am delighted to report this year s playing group embraced and contributed to the proud history of the Club and its jersey. The Gregor George Cup, awarded to the winner of the Club Championship was just reward for the dedication and hard work demonstrated by the players, coaches, managers, physiotherapists, doctors, volunteers and, importantly, the friends and families who supported the Club throughout the year. The 2015 season saw 204 players take the field, representative of what has become a challenging schedule for all club players in recent times. Of these, 56 players represented 1st Grade, 64 for 2nd Grade, 62 for 3rd Grade and 58 players played for our 4th Grade team resulting in 112 players having played in SUFC s Grade teams. Incredibly, three of these players, Chris Chapman, Tom Koerstz and Chris Talakai exemplified the Club s spirit and played in all four Grade teams throughout the year. Meanwhile in Colts, 1st Colts fielded the most stable team in the Club this year with 43 players, whilst 2nd Colts selected 57 players for their standout season and 3rd Colts used a Club-high 65 players. In all, 90 players represented Sydney University Colts across the three teams in Interestingly, 18 players played in all three Colts teams at some point throughout the season. SEASON HIGHLIGHTS Club Championship Each year, it is the Club s main goal to finish the year as the strongest club in the competition. This year, SUFC secured the Sydney Premier Rugby Club Championship, although this was not decided until after the final match on the final round determined by our 1st Grade team beating Northern Suburbs at University No. 1 Oval, which is representative of how difficult the opposition and the competition has become. This year s win, the twelfth successive season SUFC have been crowned the dominant club, was even sweeter as the Club hosted Norths at home on a Super Saturday, meaning the entire Club was present to cheer home the 1st Grade win required to secure the championship and celebrate what is truly a club award together. In addition to this award, it was a thrill for the Club to again have all seven teams contesting the semi-finals, with all four teams who made the Grand Finals winning, remarkably all against the same opposition club, Randwick. Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 33

34 1st Grade Although it was extremely disappointing not to earn the opportunity to compete in the st Grade Grand Final, the promotion of eight Colts players into 1st Grade and four SUFC players into Super Rugby, highlights the focus SUFC places on developing players. 2nd Grade 2nd Grade s Grand Final win over Randwick after being beaten two weeks earlier in the Qualifying Finals was a thrilling result for the Club and kick-started the momentum the Colts required the following day to finish off the results. 3rd Grade Apart from the excellent on field performances by 3rd Grade, seeing them miss the Grand Final by the slightest of margins, they were also leaders on the social front with Ray Hudd and Ross Ryan at the helm. From Wine and Cheese Night to team discussions at the Nags Head Hotel about the current Financial Market, they were a big part of the SUFC culture this year. 4th Grade 4th Grade s season, where they galloped to the Minor Premiership only to be beaten after the bell in the Semi-Final, should be roundly applauded for their impressive performances and, in particular, coach James Cameron s effort. 1st Colts 1st Colts winning the Grand Final against the heavily favoured Randwick was the culmination of a very special day at Forshaw Rugby Park to clean sweep the Colts Grand Finals and redeem the previous season s loss. 2nd Colts 2nd Colts following up their Minor Premiership, during which they lost only one match, with a win in the Grand Final and earning themselves SUFC s Team of the Year Award. 3rd Colts Building on a season of inexperience and adversity 3rd Colts developed the skills to execute a game plan and then, ultimately, how to grind out a win culminating in Grand Final victory against a team who had beaten them both occasions in which they had previously played. Australian U20s representative Folau Fainga a at Hooker in 1st Colts Australian U20s representatives Congratulations to Folau Fainga a, Jack McCalman, Jack Redden, Matt Sandell (second year of representation), Harry Williams and Christian Yassmin for their respective selection in the Australian U20s squad this year. This is an outstanding achievement and with continued commitment and development, these players have the potential and ability to prove strong performances in the senior football ranks. USA High Performance Tour The Club was fortunate to align closely with the University of Sydney and their International Student Recruitment department to embark on a two week tour of in the United States of America. The tour was built around playing matches against Arizona State University in Phoenix, Arizona, the University of California, San Diego and University of Southern California in Los Angeles, both in California. Although the on-field competition was of a low standard, the 30 players who toured greatly benefitted from the experience, whether it be visiting Major League Baseball and top college athlete facilities, having the opportunity to train in these facilities or the life-long bonds the shared experiences will have forged. The experiences and exposure the tour offered will reap rewards for the players and the Club for many years to come. 34 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

35 Our USA High Performance Tour group visiting the Arizona State University Sun Devils Stadium SUFC representation in the World Cup The Club was also proud to watch seven SUFC players, Sam Carter, Israel Folau, Bernard Foley, Dean Mumm, Ben McCalman, Nick Phipps and Will Skelton, along with this year s SUFC 1st Grade Head Coach, Chris Malone, excel in the recent 2015 Rugby World Cup in the UK. Having experienced the thrill of viewing the Final at a pub in the morning in California and hearing stories of the numerous SUFC alumni who followed the Wallabies on their campaign and were present at Twickenham, it was clear how excited the Club was to be represented on the biggest rugby stage in the World. Although they missed out on the ultimate prize, their performances and efforts to reach the finals were hugely successful and must be congratulated. season in 2014, where he suffered a serious injury to his lower leg, to play starring roles in both 2nd and 3rd Grade this year. Most Improved Colt - Jack Bliss Jack committed himself thoroughly to his pre-season following a 2014 season where he played the Grand Final in 3rd Colts. This resulted in a hugely successful 2015 for Jack where he played in all but one 1st Colts game and was a dominant force in our set piece. END OF SEASON PRESENTATION NIGHT AWARDS Colts Encouragement Award - Alex Hutchinson Alex was the first player to volunteer at pre-season training to nominate himself as someone who was willing to play in the front row. He went on to play almost every game for 3rd Colts and was one of the team s first picked players. Craig Fear Grade Encouragement Award - Oliver Gresham Oli bounced back from a disastrous Will Ridley, Alex Batho and Jack Jones training on the USA High Performance Tour in San Diego Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 35

36 Some of our SUFC Waratahs, David Dennis, Pat McCutcheon, Tom Carter and Jeremy Tilse Most Improved Grade - Alex Batho Alex s story is similar to Jack Bliss, with Alex playing in the premiership winning 4th Grade team in 2014 and following this up as a bolted on 2nd Grader this year with a number of 1st Grade appearances. Most Promising Colt - Declan Moore Declan had an extremely impressive year, culminating in his Round 13 selection as starting hooker for 1st Grade. In all, Declan had four appearances in both 1st and 2nd Grade and was a proven match winner in every team, including in particular the 1st Colts Grand Final. Most Promising Grade - Rohan O Regan Rohan, in his first year of Grade after stepping up from 1st Colts Captain the previous two years, started the season struggling with a number of injuries. After fighting back to full fitness, it was not long before he had played himself into 1st Grade entrenching himself as a critical member of the Club s 1st Grade side. The exciting thing for Rohan is there is still as yet unrealised potential in his game. 1st Colts Best Fresher - Connor O Shea Connor, in his first year at the Club, was hugely impressive both on and off the field in what was an extremely difficult year. His selection in Round 14 as 1st Grade s starting flyhalf speaks volumes for his maturity, whilst it was with great poise with which he led the team around, whether in 1st, 2nd Grade or 1st Colts. Leading Try Scorer for the Club - Christian Yassmin Christian wins this award for the second successive year with his 25 tries in 2015 to go with his 32 tries last year. Leading Points Scorer for the Club - Christian Kagiassis The fact Christian was one of only two players at the Club to play every game this year meant he was ideally placed to win this award, however it was his feat of averaging almost 12 points a game that secured the award and ensured he was picked in the top team every week. Player of the Finals - Matt Narracott Matt had an enormous year in his first year of Grade, missing only two games all year and working his way onto the wing regularly in 1st Grade by the end of the season. However it was his performances in the finals, most notably his performance in the 2nd Grade premiership winning game, which strengthen his record as a biggame player. Club Captain - Benn Melrose, Alastair Ryan, Alexander Jackman (Colts) Colts Clubman of the Year - Jack Blair Not many people around the Club would be aware of the selfless work Jack puts into assisting sponsors with work and his peers with academic support. 36 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

37 Clubman of the Year - Tom Carter Everyone knows Tom s history at the Club, however not everyone would see the tireless effort he puts in to the recruitment program, strength and conditioning program and general player welfare for 12 months of the year. Stephen Rowntree Volunteer of the Year - Ray Hudd Ray s involvement at the Club extends back many years, where he coached at Canterbury Juniors, one of our juniors clubs. It is Ray s ongoing commitment to the Club and associated juniors, along with his dedication to the success of the Club through his coaching of various teams, which was celebrated this year with this prestigious award. Stephen Anthony Trophy for Best and Fairest Colt - Hamish Dunbar Hamish was injured playing a defining role in the team s semi-final win and was ruled out of the 1st Colts Grand Final. It is a mark of the respect his teammates held for him that the rallying call during the premiership match amongst the team when Randwick were pressing was What would Hamish Do!?. Best and Fairest - David Hickey David was a standout performer for SUFC s 1st Grade team this year and also carried the weight of captaincy on his shoulders. The amount of time and effort he spent off the field preparing his body for what is the most combative position on the field should be applauded in a season where he missed only two games. Team of the Year - 2nd Colts Simply, 2nd Colts won both the Minor and Major Premierships, suffering only one loss all year. Michael Griffin Players Player of the Year - David Hickey David doubled up and won the most prestigious award sought after by the players. This award represents the regard in which his peers hold him in. SPECIAL MENTIONS A special mention to Nathaniel Deans, Justin Fourie, Callum Styles, Callum Buckling, Ben Hughes, Dane McCarthy, James Nonu-Carling, Jonny Vaux, James Willian and Liam Winton 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. Thank you for your selfless contribution to the Club and positive attitude throughout the 2015 season. Finally, and most importantly, thank you to all of the 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 70 or so players who turned up to the gym four 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 in 2016 and beyond. Congratulations to the current custodians of the SUFC jersey on a successful season and we thank you for the positive mark you have made to its celebrated legacy. Up the Students!

38 1st XV Report HUGELY SUCCESSFUL SEASON Another big year at Sydney University, another successful year at Sydney University, and another Club Championship safely locked away for those that come after us. We had a year of some fantastic achievements, not least of which was the phenomenal performance of our Colts teams to defeat Randwick in all 3 Colts Grand Finals, it was a truly remarkable day and capped off a good weekend with all 4 SUFC teams that contested Grand Finals winning the major trophy on offer! Our 2nd Grade side played one of the best Grand Finals you will ever see, and defeated Randwick with a powerful finish and some heroic defence. Was I disappointed that 1st Grade didn t make the Grand Final? Yes. Was I disappointed our 3rd and 4th Grade sides that had been very impressive throughout the year didn t make the Grand Final? Yes. But what a special Grand Final weekend it was to win all 4 that we competed in to send the Club out as winners. One very special person was missing for the Grand Finals, our long-serving patriarchal President, David Mortimer. I did not know how gravely ill David was at the time, and typical of David he wasn t going to let on, but even as ill as he was he still replied to texts when I sent him the good news of our victories. 1st Grade celebrating a try by speedster Tom Kingston What defines success at Sydney University Football Club? Winning 1st Grade is the pinnacle, so we have to be setting out to do that each year, but is it the only determiner of success? I have always believed that if you are capable of winning the Club Championship, you have strong teams and you stand a chance to contest Grand Finals in all Grade and Colts sides, and that ensures some level of success. But winning Grand Finals is never easy, and winning Club Championships are getting harder and harder to do with some Clubs really raising their game over the last couple of years. Should every player that gets a Super Rugby contract and is promoted to higher office define success? I think it is something that our Club needs to promote more. We set out again this year to ensure that we continued to promote and develop our players to go on and play representative football. They have always come back and really invested in putting back into the Club, and passing on their respective wisdom to our Colts and aspiring young players, and they have always enjoyed a good time around our Club, and this is the best thing about Club Football. 1ST GRADE saw the 1st Grade side claim a spot in the top 4 yet fail to make the Grand Final after two semi-final defeats knocked us out of contention. It was a season that was punctuated by some fantastic performances, but we also suffered some defeats that looking back on, we should never have suffered. You cannot take any game in the Shute Shield for granted, and teams are getting more and more competitive each year. 1st Grade games are hard to win, and it takes incredible resolve to get up each week and get the job done. That s what the champion teams do, and I hope the boys learned a lot from the season and come back energised to finally get the job done in Highlights of the year were the 1st Half against Eastwood at TG Milner, where had we been more clinical we could have and should have put the game 38 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

39 Tom Carter scores a try to become the leading 1st Grade try scorer in SUFC history against Northern Suburbs, also his 200th Grade game to bed. A 44-0 hiding of Eastern Suburbs at Woolahra where we played some great rugby. The Saturday night rugby game against Randwick at a sodden University No.1 Oval, racking up 40 points against Souths down at Forshaw and thumping Norths on the last weekend of the regular season. Against Southern Districts in week 1 of the Finals we faced an interesting conundrum. Having finished 4th on the ladder, the scenario was Win and we faced a trip to Eastwood, lose and we went to Manly Oval to take on the minor premiers. After getting knocked out by Souths the year before, we were determined to go down to Forshaw, where we had a great victory earlier in the season, and get a result which would put us through to the major semi-final and a shot at progressing to the Grand Final. Déjà vu unfortunately occurred, and after a somewhat dubious last minute penalty, we again had heart break when a long-range penalty defeated us again. Unfortunately, despite a great start where David Hickey excelled down at Manly Oval, they were just very good on the day and our title hopes were snuffed out. When you look back on a very long campaign, and give yourself time to reflect, it really allows you to think about the good things about the year. In 2015 we saw David Hickey take on a leadership role and excel as a footballer. His ball-carrying and try-scoring was immense and with his typically hardnosed defence and resolve, he was certainly one of our very best. Tom Robertson was, at 20 years of age, quite simply the best Tight Head Prop in the competition, and I am hugely excited at seeing him develop over the next 5-6 years as he could be a fantastic international front-row forward. Now at 21 he has a contract with the Waratahs, and he will go on to bigger and better things with a year under his belt in 1st Grade. Tom Coolican at Hooker and Al Ryan at Loose Head Prop in 1st Grade scrum Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 39

40 Tom Coolican was a great addition to the playing group this year and he played so many games through injury that he deserves special mention here. Again in 2015 we managed to play a large number of Colts in Grade, 17 in total, and 7 of them played in 1st Grade!! These are phenomenal numbers and testament to the opportunities that exist at SUFC. It also probably says we had a fair few injuries of which you can never count on, so our depth was tested and some young men really rose to the challenge. I need to make special mention in particular of an outstanding young man, Conor O Shea, that played 1st Grade this year in his 1st year out of school, and in the same year that he unfortunately lost his Mum to illness also. Not only that but he has suffered a rare illness himself and didn t complain once, and took every chance he could. He was phenomenal in the Colts Grand Final, well done Conor on your achievements in a difficult year. BIG CHANGE At the end of the season I was fortunate to be asked to be a member of the Wallabies World Cup Coaching staff, and the Club was fantastic in allowing me to take up the opportunity. Having also been asked to join Daryl Gibson on his coaching staff at the Waratahs it means that Sydney University will have a new Head Coach in 2016, and that is so exciting for the Club as the time is right to allow someone else to recharge the boys and push the Club to even greater heights. Along with Hannah Catchpole taking up a new role back in New Zealand, Tim Leahy moving into exciting new business opportunities, Tristan Sharp being promoted to professional rugby in Ireland, there has been plenty of changes. We all leave a great place and one that we will miss. It is an exciting time for the Club under the stewardship of David Haigh, who will be fantastically supported by Sarah Dill-Macky and Rob Taylor, not to mention the phenomenal Tommy Carter who has been instrumental in driving new initiatives that we put in place this year. OFF-FIELD At the end of 2014 we knew that there was a drastically changed landscape in Club Rugby and that we needed to change, not only to continue to be successful, but to do it in a way that made us sustainable for the long term. We made significant changes in how we run the rugby department, and we wore a fair bit of pain, but I am confident that the changes were hugely beneficial and we will reap the rewards if we continue to invest in the right way of running the Club. Halfback Jake Gordon was rewarded for his performances this year in 1st Grade with a rookie Waratahs contract 5 players were promoted to the Waratahs in 2015, these being Jake Gordon, Tom Robertson, Matt Sandell, Henry Clunies-Ross and Jim Stewart. This is something we need to be very proud of as a Club because so much has gone into helping these guys to develop. Fizza Fear has all the Stats and we are fortunate to have him do such a great job for the Club year on year. 1st Grade Forwards coach Tim Davidson overlooks warm up 40 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

41 Pat McCutcheon brought some experience to the team on a number of occasions throughout the year Tommy Carter invested a huge amount of time in getting our Athletic Development program up to World Class, and this initiative alone will change how we are trained and make us much more streamlined and attentive to detail when it comes to ensuring we are giving our players every opportunity to be their best. Again, with the team assembled to run the Club next year I have every confidence that a huge year and years are ahead. Bill Hovey ran a Leadership program that I hope will be continued in years to come, as we produce some of the finest young men in the country here, and initiatives such as these will enhance these opportunities for growth. Thanks Bill for all of your time over the last few years and particularly in your guidance of this program. 1ST GRADE COACHING/ MANAGEMENT TEAM Peter Playford, Tim Davidson, Cameron Blades and Tommy Carter all played huge parts in our coaching team in I have been so fortunate in my time as an SUFC coach to have the chance to work with some of the greats of the Club, and we have had really special teams of coaches. From 4th Grade to Colts 1, David Haigh and myself worked hard to ensure we had high quality coaches and people to give the best for and get the best from our boys. Pete is a once-in-a-lifetime guy, and I have been privileged to share so much with you over the last 3 years. You have shown how good you are as a guy and coach, and I owe you a lot for your dedication to me in our time together. Tim Davidson is a legend of the Club and showed this year how much the Club means to him by dedicating his time even with a brand new young family and hectic job in the city now he s back in the real world post rugby-retirement! Thanks for all your sound advice and solid values. Bladesy was a great addition a couple of years ago, a fantastic coach and man, and he really helped our scrums across the Club to dominate this year, even with 18 year olds in 1st Grade front rows. The two guys that have made my life so much easier over the last 3 years have been the two Champion managers, Evan Hoskins and Luke Campton. Never a problem too big or too small, these two have just been the backbone for the team and I can t thank them enough for all of the thankless tasks and hours spent because they love seeing the boys looked after. I will miss them both a lot. Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 41

42 Chris Malone with his sons and SUFC Ball Boys Hamish and Josh Malone STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING Tommy Carter and his great team of Tim Leahy, Tristan Sharp, Lou Lou Stanley, Stu Pavely, Ed Arnott, Shane Ball and Henry Mitchell did a phenomenal job in driving us to be the fittest and most powerful team in the comp. I wish we could have done better in 1st Grade for you guys, but your work across the Club was a huge reason for the success we had. Thank you all for your time and dedication to the process of getting better, the Club through this program alone will be strong for a very long time to come. DAVID MORTIMER, A GREAT PRESIDENT Everyone at the Club that has been lucky to be around under the stewardship of David Mortimer would know just how amazingly fortunate we have been. Never before has one man had such a huge influence on a Club, and I have been lucky enough to share 8 of those seasons with him. Every step along the way in my time coaching at the Club, I have always had the support and guidance of David, and I will be forever grateful for this support. Just like our players, as a coach the opportunity to be promoted professionally either within the organisation, or to higher office at representative level, is something David has actively supported and encouraged, and he has supported my ambition to become a coach and have the chance to grow in the great environment that is SUFC. I owe you a lot David, I hope you recover well from your setback earlier this year, and I for one will never forget the huge contribution you have made to Sydney University Football Club in you time as our President. I am going to miss greatly the bond with so many special people that make a great Club tick. And it is my strong belief that at Sydney University we have so many great and special people. It has been an honour and a privilege to be the Head Coach of Sydney University Football Club. I leave lucky to have both Captained and Coached a 1st Grade winning side for the Club, and I will forever remain grateful for the opportunities presented to me by the Students and Sydney University Football Club. Up the Students! Chris Malone 1st Grade Head Coach 42 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

43 2nd XV Report This years Sydney Uni Second Grade team showed great resolve, character and camaraderie to ultimately become Premiers. This wasn t always the case. After punching well above our weight last season we suffered a Grand Final hangover for large parts of 2015, where the group slipped into the belief that turning up was good enough. Some of the tight losses we endured during the season were a result of this, however we always maintained the belief that we had the talent, and if we brought the right attitude, and were able to execute our game plan, we were title contenders. 2nd celebrates after a try in the Grand Final Our second loss to Randwick was the turning point of the season, where the coaching group had to exhibit some tough love at training to really change the mindset. Thankfully that tough physical week of training got us back on track for the remainder of the year. Over the course of the season Randwick were our nemesis, and having lost to them 3 times, (home), (away) and in the first playoff game it was fitting that we met them in the Grand Final. We had to take the hard road to get there, through the Minor Premiers; Manly at Manly, but an excellent performance in that match put us in good stead for the Grand Final, and our final chance to make amends against Randwick. Matt Narracott, 2nd Grade Best Back for 2015 The Final was an absolute heart stopper with the lead changing several times. After establishing an early lead, and then surrendering it with just 10 minutes to go, many teams would have dropped their heads to a team that had beaten them 3 times previously. It is a testament to the spirit, courage and pride of the group that they were able to rise up and take their physicality to another level for that final 10 minutes of the Grand Final. Eventually snatching the game by a single point! Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 43

44 SUFC 2nd Grade, Colin Caird Shield winners 2015 An amazing and truly inspiring effort, in a thrilling match. I would like to make special mention of the forwards coach Clint Allardice whose technical approach and analysis of oppositions set piece was a massive factor in our success. Many thanks also to Jason Grier whom juggled his Riverview coaching commitments to help out when he could. To captain James Swan and the other 61 players involved over the course of Second Grade season this year I thank you for all your hard work, sacrifice and commitment. Although only 17 players took the field during the Grand Final, the title belongs to everyone who contributed during the season both on and off the field. To our long serving management Scotty Fraser and Steve Barrow thanks again for your help. Thank you to the medical staff for your tireless work in getting the boys right to play. Also a big thank you to Ash and Maxy Miller for their work behind the scenes every week. All your hard work is very much appreciated. Garrick Cowley 2nd Grade Head Coach 44 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

45 3rd XV Report I just want to give a huge THANK YOU to all of the players, including the Coaching & Management Staff of Joe Horn-Smith, John Rudd, Ross Ryan, John Furlong and Murray Hudd, for their fantastic effort throughout the season. I would also like acknowledge the Team Captains Andrew Hunter and Billy Macklin for their energy and leadership throughout the year. Congratulations must go to Elliot Messara, Sam Barclay and Oliver Gresham in receiving Awards at the recent Club Presentation night. I shall see you all at Pre Season training! Ray Hudd 3rd Grade Head Coach After some teething problems early in the season, losing 3 of our first 6 games, 3rd Grade found some form and produced some excellent rugby through the middle and back end of the year resulting in a second place finish on the ladder. The endless hard work of the young squad was rewarded not only with ladder placing but with several players forcing their way into Second Grade contention and a lucky few managing to make 1st Grade debuts, Including young front rowers Chris Talakai and Stewart Nutt, along with Centre Sam Barclay and returning colts backrower Tom Shaw. The young group were unlucky to be beaten after the bell in a Semi-Final against Eastern suburbs who were in-turn well beaten by deserved winners and season long front runners Eastwood.

46 Sam Barclay, 3rd Grade best back for 2015 Billy Macklin was strong with the boot for 3rd Grade this season Although I had taken coaching sessions for many different teams, clubs and age groups over the last 15 years, this was my first year as a non-playing coach. I found the experience to be a bit of an emotional rollercoaster in a very similar way to I did playing the game, although waking up on a Sunday morning and not feeling like a bus had hit me is certainly a positive aspect to coaching rather than playing. The bulk of the players involved with the 3rd Grade this year were lacking in experience as they had come up from Colts or 4th Grade, but what they lacked in experience they certainly made up for with enthusiasm and willingness to improve. The group started the season with an eagerness to overplay and run from every position and with a view that pressure can only be applied to the opposition team whilst we have the ball. I feel that the biggest difference that the coaching staff made to the group this year was highlighting that being better players than the opposition is often not enough to ensure victory and that playing in the right areas of the field, often without the ball is a crucial part to the game. It was highly rewarding watching the group develop these game management skills and apply pressure to the opposition with tactical kicking and astute decision making. The heavy loss away to Eastwood was a bit of a turning point in the year and from that point onwards the group embraced the philosophy and game plan the coaches had put together. This was exhibited to near perfection in the 1st half of the Parramatta home leg in May and the Uni against Easts game in the June fixture. The experience and influence of Harry Marples, Elliot Messara and Andrew Hunter in the pack combined provided a solid platform for Tom Koerstz and Billy Macklin who grew with every game and formed a solid half back partnership. In the outside backs Mesake Tagituimua made huge strides and developed into one of the most exciting and dangerous players in the back line with Ben Cannon an experienced campaigner playing consistently well throughout the whole season. The stand out performer in the back line this year in my opinion was a new comer to the club and someone that has gone on to not only play SUFC 1st Grade but get a call up to the Stars squad and that is Sam Barclay. Sam had a great 1st season at the club and his physicality and decision making in defence combined with his great running lines and offloads in attack ensured that he was constantly within the 3 best players on the park every week. Unfortunately the team missed out on a place in the final by a drop goal in the last play of the game to Easts as it would have been great to see the lads rewarded for all their hard work and efforts. The group can be proud of the way they conducted themselves and the skill and efforts they displayed every time they pulled on a Gold and Blue jersey.

47 4th XV Report 4th Grade shake hands after a dominant win over Gordon Well done to all the 4th Grade players on their season. We played some good rugby this year and I think we developed a strong bond as a squad throughout the season. We were deserved Minor Premiers, but unfortunately couldn t turn that into a Premiership as we lost both our finals matches. We won 16 from 18 games during the regular season, most of these by a considerable margin. The best form of defence is attack as we looked to play with ball in hand as much as possible, restricting our opponents opportunities and forcing them to do all the tackling. This perhaps could have been a double edged sword: our dominance in the regular season had not prepared us for the battle of finals, where games are not so easily won and we were up against stronger teams than those we played during the regular season. Of our four losses this season, we were leading at full time in every game, only to concede a try or goal in the final play of the game. The total losing difference in those 4 games was just 9 points. Some highlights for the season was a very entertaining win over Manly at Number 1 Oval in Round 3, two comprehensive wins over Randwick (36-5 and 40-12), and a strong win over Norths in Round 18 which helped the club win our 12th straight Club Championship. I think 4th Grade has become a stepping stone for a lot of players coming out of Colts and experiencing Grade rugby for the first time. There were a lot of talented players in 4th Grade this year and I am sure that many of them will be playing in higher grades in the future. While perhaps we didn t get the end result that we though we deserved, it s important that we learn from our experience and become better players and better people for it. Thanks to all the players for their commitment to training and commitment to the team. Not only are they top players but top blokes as well, and it was a privilege to coach this group. Thanks to the players who put up their hand to play out of position when we needed them to. In particular Chris O Donnell and Nao Suzuki; we had a number of talented scrum halves this year, and Chris and Nao played most of their rugby in the back three; both were outstanding and always gave 100%. Mallachy Mullin also deserves credit for playing in both the backs and the forwards. Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 47

48 Callum McIntosh fends off a Parramatta player Congratulations to Byron Wicken as the team s best forward whose ball running was fantastic and got us over the gain line on so many occasions. Byron had plenty of competition for the award with Tyne Holmes, Cal McIntosh and Jack Stanford also having strong, consistent seasons; Jack in particular I thought was one of our most improved players. Congratulations to our best back Eddie L Estrange who was ever-present at fly half, I think he played almost every minute of every game. Eddie controlled the game well and his defence was exceptional. Thanks to Hamish Pope for his coaching support and to Daniel Simpson for his coaching when he couldn t play due to injury. Thanks to Troy Isidro and Sam Fifita as team managers, Ed Arnott for his excellent conditioning both at training and warm up on game days. Thanks to Ash Miller not only for his excellent job as Gear Steward but also his encouragement, and to Max for running the water and fetching the balls. Thanks Helmut for being our linesman every week and for the pizzas on the hill in Round 18. Thanks to Kath Rae, Shane Kertanegara, and our match day doctor Leigh Golding for keeping the players in one piece. Thanks to all the parents who come to support our games each week, and to the wives and girlfriends who understand that rugby takes priority between March and August. I hope all the players are proud of their efforts this season and I hope they all enjoyed their rugby.

49 1st Colts Report The 1st Colts team selected 43 players throughout the season, 31 of whom were debutants and a remarkable 27 of whom were in their first year at the Club. During the season, seven Colts players made their 1st Grade debut, whilst 17 Colts players were promoted into Grade, an increasing trend that will more likely than not continue as SUFC develop quality young footballers and in turn they are selected for representative honours. The National Rugby Championship presents an opportunity, not available in past years, for talented Colts eligible players to play at a higher level, testing themselves against quality opposition, which will only strengthen the Club in the years to come. Hamish Dunbar, SUFC Best and Fairest Colt for st Colts team for Round 1 presented by John Langford at the 2015 Season Launch Another challenge this year s Colts group and the Club as a whole was presented with was the structure of the season, with the season proper consisting of 18 round games and three games during the finals series, with only one bye. The length of the season is regularly underestimated by players in their first year of Colts club rugby, with a number of new players coming from a much shorter schoolboy rugby calendar. The season was one of the toughest in memory due to the increase in focus on the Colts rugby programs by opposition clubs and, therefore, the performance of the opposition clubs was strong across the competition. There were a number of games which stood out as season defining games for the Club s 1st Colts team keen to go one better than last year and win the premiership. The season started positively with two comprehensive wins before encountering a vastly improved Gordon outfit on a dewy Tuesday night on St Andrew s College Oval. The Highlanders pushed all the way, however ultimately we came away with a one-point victory. The next tough match was against Northern Suburbs, a team SUFC s 1st Colts had not beaten in the regular round games for a number of years. This Round 6 game was no different to previous years as we stumbled to our first loss of the season. The very next week was the Grand Final rematch against Randwick, scheduled to be played on Saturday night as a curtain raiser to the 1st Grade evening match. However, appalling weather forced the game to be rescheduled for mid-week where we played our strongest game to-date, winning by two points. Only five weeks later we faced the reigning premiers again, this time on their home ground. Randwick displayed a comprehensive performance to run away with the match and administer our 2nd loss for the season. We went into the following week s game against Eastern Suburbs hoping to right our season, only to be ambushed by rugged defence on the back ovals of Woollahra. This left us sitting on three defeats for the year and with some imperative soul searching to do. Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 49

50 The lead-up to finals included facing Norths in the final regular round where we hoped to even the ledger for this season and break the habit of losing to the Shoremen in round games. A big victory buoyed the team as we headed into the finals where we would face three teams that we had struggled against earlier in the season, Gordon, Easts and Randwick. The Qualifying final against Gordon again went all the way down until the final minutes where we were ultimately successful and won our way into the semifinals. The competition s penultimate final against Eastern Suburbs saw us play some of our finest rugby of the season in the final 30 minutes of the match, during which we scored almost 40-points to earn our spot in the Grand Final and a shot at redemption. The 1st Colts team s performance in the Grand Final was one of the best performances I have ever seen in Colts. Our 1st half was almost flawless in both attack and defence and set us up for what would be an extremely rewarding win. The statistics tell the story of the game, with us forced to make 223 tackles to Randwick s 112, of which Siaosi Halaifonua made 30 of these alone. This was particularly impressive as Siaosi had replaced the desperately unlucky Hamish Dunbar who was injured the previous week. On top of our huge defensive effort, we had to overcome two yellow cards, a penalty try and a fast finishing Randwick team, however ultimately the Students were too good and were worthy victors on Grand Final day. Congratulations to all 43 members would contributed to the 1st Colts premiership and I look forward to seeing you all back at the Club next year! Up the Students! Declan Moore, 1st Colts best forward for 2015 THANK YOU A special thank you must go to Dan Kelly and Kolose Feaunati for their assistance this season. DK and I have a long history of playing together and it was a personal highlight of mine to coach with him this year. 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. K has an overwhelming appetite for game analysis and provided valuable feedback each week. Although DK and K were volunteers, they continually went above and beyond with their input to the team and to individuals. The success of the team should be just reward for your efforts this year DK and K. Colts volunteers and coaches look on at 1st Colts Grand Final The efforts of our team of managers, including Gavin Crawford and Paul Blackett, cannot be overstated enough. It can be a thankless task, however the energy, enthusiasm and clear passion for Colts rugby shared by these two were a huge benefit to the team. Their assistance was invaluable 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, made the coaching job a breeze and allowed the players to focus on playing and only playing. Thank you Gavin and Paul, we are truly fortunate to have such selfless volunteers at the Club. This leads me to Ed Walgien, who spends more time helping around the Club than almost any other. He is always the first person to arrive and the last person to leave on both training days and, more importantly, game days. The 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. 50 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

51 Watching the 1st Colts team play on Saturdays was always a favourite part of the week for DK, K and me 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 2015 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. I feel a number of players deserve special mention, beginning with our premiership winning captain, Jack McCalman. Jack s experience, in particular leading both the 2015 NSW U20s and 2013 Australian Schoolboys teams, and the high level of respect in which he was held by his team mates, made him a stand out choice as captain. It was this leadership experience that made the difference when it mattered most, making crucial decisions in the final moments of the Grand Final that ultimately assured victory for the team. Jack s backrow partner, the damaging Hamish Dunbar, also deserves special mention. Hamish, the Club s 2015 recipient of the Steve Anthony Trophy for the Best and Fairest Colt, was injured playing a defining role in the team s semi-final win and was ruled out of the premiership match. It is a mark of the respect his teammates held for him that the rallying call during the Grand Final amongst the team when Randwick were pressing was What would Hamish Do!?. Will Davies and Declan Moore, 1st Colts Best Back and Best Forward respectively, each had excellent seasons, with both earning their 1st Grade debut and playing central roles in the Grand Final win. Declan s performance was all the more impressive given that he has another year of Colts eligibility. Also worth a mention is Christian Yassmin, who backed up an impressive debut year for the Club last year finishing his second consecutive year as highest try scorer at the Club with 25 tries in 2015 to go with his 32 tries last year. The Club is in truly good hands. David Haigh 1st Colts Head Coach SUFC 1st Colts, W.McMahon Memorial Shield winners 2015 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 51

52 2nd Colts Report SUFC 2nd Colts, Shell Trophy winners 2015 The 2015 season for 2nd 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. The 3rd Colts team participated in Dry July this year and raised close to $4000 for various charities, I must admit this was a very long month. I would like to thank everyone who donated to the cause. The first six rounds saw us put some good performances together extending our lead on the rest of the pack. This came to an end when we played Randwick in Round 7 on a Tuesday night due to wet weather. The Wicks bought us back to reality on a soggy St John s College Oval where they turned up hungrier than ever to knock the mighty Students off, and indeed they did taking the win The playing group pledged after that game that it would never happen again and they kept to it. This was helped by the leadership of Xander Jackman, who kept the boys in line from day one. The culture that the whole Colts program had was unbreakable. Across the program the boys would eat together, drink together and train together and that put us in the perfect position to take the three from three against Randwick in the Grand Finals. Lachlan Argiris, 2nd Colts best forward for Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

53 PLAYER MENTIONS Lachlan Argiris: Lachy who took a couple of rounds to come out of his shell, but once full of confidence put in top performances week in, week out. His barnstorming ball carries and aggressive defence saw him rewarded with player points most week, as a result he was rewarded Best Forward for Austin Black: Austin had an unlucky season with injury but once on the field put in 110%. His aggressive ball carries caused damage to the opposition. A tough young lad who played the grand final with a fractured in his shoulder shows how committed he is the Sydney University Football Club. Charlie Friend: Charlie spent 2014 wrestling cattle in the territory and this saw him join Sydney University in 2015 a good 18kgs lighter than his school playing days in His easy going nature saw him play at both inside centre and flyhalf excelling in both rolls. His ability to make quick decisions on the run saw the team very well organised throughout the season. Special thanks must go to Peter Harris and his wife Anne for their support throughout the season. Pete had the boys running like clockwork and we could not have done it without him. Xander Jackman: Xander is more a mate than a player, someone who has developed into a great young man throughout the season. He has the ability to control the game distribute the ball with ease from the rucks. His leadership and culture building abilities will certainly see this young fellow take higher leadership roles throughout his career. All of this saw Xander awarded the Best Back for Ambrose Plaister, James Caterson and Peter Harris with the Shell Trophy Ambrose and I would personally like to thank everyone that has helped out throughout the season to reach our goal of the 2nd Colts Champions and the SUFC Team of the Year. Three from Three. Go Uni! James Caterson 2nd Colts Head Coach Xander Jackman, 2nd Colts captain and best back for 2015 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report 53

54 3rd Colts Report 3rd Colts often presents unique challenges for rugby players. Players are asked to back up for other Colts teams (sometimes for entire matches) the extensive numbers of the squad often means many don t get as much game time, while many struggle with the tag of being dropped. In 2015, the 3rd Colts team faced all of these challenges. Yet there is something unique about the game of rugby that either allows you to become a better person, or forces you to. Those players who fully committed themselves to the team, and indeed the entire club, found themselves improving not only as rugby players but also as people. They also had a lot of fun along the way. Yet through adversity, comes opportunity. What was inspiring to see was the players reaction to such a situation. Players approached training with far greater determination, commitment and integrity. As the great Ed Walgien astutely pointed out, one could really sense an increased hunger and focus. The team had turned a corner mentally, and began to put on some dominating and impressive displays of running rugby. 3rd Colts Head Coach Stuart Brunsdon leads the team song The season began solidly, with a convincing win over Penrith (58-0), a delightful road trip down to Bowral for Easts (35-7) and then back home for Parramatta (60-7). On the back of these performances, many players rose up to second grade, and the team moved into new and unfamiliar territory with regards to leadership, positions and player combinations. The team then became quite exposed in performances. An early loss at home to Gordon (0-10), brought many back down to reality, followed by a second loss at home, this time to Randwick (23-28). A few weeks later, the team would again lose to the men in green (17-21). Patrick Muller was the 3rd Colts highest try scorer for 2015 They also began to respond to challenges in a superior manner. For example, when the team was docked competition points for an innocent admin mixup, the path to the finals all of a sudden had a little extra pressure. The team faced Norths (whom they had only just managed to scrape out an unconvincing one point win earlier in the season), but rather than panic, the team looked to control what they could control and focus on their job. The response? A victory, where Uni completely ran Norths off the park. 54 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

55 3rd Colts line up against Eastwood The team carried this momentum into the finals with convincing wins over Norths (43-5) and Southern Disctricts (52-14). The Grand final against Randwick was always going to be close, as the opponent had beaten us twice in the season. Yet Uni showed far more commitment in defence and greater composure in key moments of the game. That, and a fantastic runaway try from Tim McCutcheon. A 10-0 victory was a deserved and sweet way to finish the season. Many players stood out over the season. Stuey Mill and Sean Cross really grew into their leadership roles, solidified their positions and guided the team with sound conviction. Lisiate Vaihu s ball carrying was exceptional, constantly providing valuable go-forward for the team. Patrick Muller consistently found ways to score from anywhere over the park with his impressive pace, while Jaydon Faavae-Eli added skills and composure to the backline. Alex Hutchinson improved into a solid scrummager while Ollie Maxwell made the second row position his own with many impressive performances. Ben Halmerick also had a special knack of constantly burrowing his way over the try line. Both Sam Docking and Solomona Iosefa showed tremendous dedication in returning from serious injuries towards the end of the season, and their impact was immediately felt and appreciated by the team. To those players who deserved more game time in the finals, your efforts through the season brought the team to the final and were appreciated by all. To Dave Haigh, when you speak the lads listen. Thanks for coming over and giving the odd skills session, and for successfully leading the whole shebang. The coaching and managing staff: Rick Moore - your video analysis skills are second to none, as is your never ending depth of knowledge around rugby (and beer!) Phil Bird - You were a great addition and valuable team member Ed Walgien - Rugby clubs would not exist without legends such as yourself. Your punctuality is second to none (I swear you sleep at away games the night before), and your commitment to team management and the overall club is outstanding To Turtle and Shano (the fitness team) a huge thank you for your hard work and help throughout the season. Stuart Brunsdon 3rd Colts Head Coach Some thank you s. To all of the players for putting in a huge effort throughout the season and successfully growing through all the ups and downs.

56 Juniors Report The season of 2015 was kicked off with the completion of our 10 week Sydney University Junior Development Program in February which started in November This program had over 60 players registered from ages 9 to 13 years. A huge thank you to Ivan Pomare, our Junior Development Officer for a stupendous effort in both the planning and execution of this pilot program for the Juniors, his experience and expertise in rugby development truly was evident in the participation rate from week to week. I would like to thank also all the coaches who participated during this development program for their help and contributions. As a follow on from the Development Program, our Rep coaches were able assess potential players from all 3 feeder clubs (Canterbury/Balmain/Petersham) and identify potential Rep players for the State Championships later in June. After internal trials with the 3 feeder clubs we selected our U11, U12 and U13 squads to take part in trials against competition Districts such as Southern Districts and West Harbour to finalise our Rep team selections.

58 UNDER 10 S The Under 10 s had the weather gods smiling down on them at Pittwater Rugby Park, North Narrabeen on Sunday 28th June. With such a beautiful day, the crowd were rewarded with some spectacular rugby from our baby juniors, the level of skills at this age is quite impressive and if this is a sign of things to come then the game is heading in the right direction. The Sydney Uni team played exceptionally well throughout the tournament, and besides their outstanding performances our team would perhaps be the most unique on the day, featuring our first female Rep player in Keturah Matoe (Balmain Juniors) and our first female coach Ms. Marboona Volkman who certainly from what I was able to see, was the only female coach in the tournament. Our team had a dominant forward pack, impressive carries throughout the tournament by the front rowers and dominating in the scrums 8 scrum turnovers over 4 matches! We also had speed in the backs but more impressive was our defence conceding a low average of 2 tries per match. Unfortunately our team faced the tournament gun team Parramatta in our last match when fatigue stared to creep in and the scores reflected that. For a team that only had 3 training sessions and no trial matches before the tournament, I am very proud of their performance. Thank you Head Coach: Boony Volkman (Canterbury Juniors), Forwards Coach: Tas Volkman (Canterbury Juniors) and Team Manager: Karl Cope (Petersham Juniors). Results: Uni (15) vs Eastwood Blue (5) Win Uni (29) vs Easts Red (0) Win Uni (29) vs Warringah White (17) Win Uni (5) vs Parramatta Sky (31) Loss UNDER 11 S The U11 s had a successful State Championships at Blackman Park, Lane Cove under the expert guidance of coaches Dave Alagna, Adam Dunn and Manager Gary Hooper. Our young ones were very competitive all throughout their Matches. With Kerutah Matoe our first female SUFC Junior Rep player with Tom Carter at Juniors Presentation Night an unfortunate draw placing most of their matches in the afternoons ending under lights, our U11 s drew 1, lost 2 and won 2. From all accounts the young lads and parents had fun filled weekend. Special mention should go to the Petersham Junior parents that provided hot dogs and a tent for the families, such generosity is what so special in grass roots rugby. UNDER 12 S Despite a shaky start and just losing their first game against our arch rivals Manly, they continued to dominate their other opponents for most part of the Championships. The forwards were outstanding making lots of line breaks down the centre of the park, however North s team stopped our hopes for Semi Finals with an exceptional display of structured play and organised defence. The U12 s were able to finish off strong beating Illawarra convincingly to end their campaign. The teams vast improvement from last year is credited to the dedication of Coaches Charles Carter, James Caterson and Hani Elbatoori, and to Manager Alexis Tasker for keeping the group together at Camden Rugby Club. 58 Sydney University Football Club 2015 Annual Report

59 Some of our Under 12 s at State Championships UNDER 13 S With an under prepared side leading up to this Championships due to external diversions our U13 s achievement of Grand Finalists is nothing short brilliance. The side comprised of a few exceptional talents in the backline, also carrying a few big units in the forwards. The U13 s dominated most of their opponents throughout the pool games and did very well to get to the Grand Final, as on the second day of competition the team were missing 5 key players due to commitments elsewhere. The U13 s were defeated in the Grand Finals by a well drilled and structured side in Manly, who again have proven to be our nemesis in these tournaments the prolonged wait between the semi s and G.F. on the last day may have contributed somewhat but we only went down to Manly by 7 points. Congratulations to Peter Jorgenson, Fergus Duncan, Tas Volkman and Jeff Afoa for their hard work in holding the boys together under the most trying of circumstances for it resulted in a Sydney Uni Grand Finalist for the first time since Ray Hudd s U16 team in In conclusion I would like to thank the following individuals for their tireless dedication to Sydney University Juniors: Charles Carter who has been the backbone of all things Juniors since its inception to this present date, he has been the ballast of our Juniors Committee, steadying the boat with his experience and knowledge both on the field and off. Alexis Tasker is a name that most players and parents of the U12 s Rep side would know but her contribution to Junior rugby both in Sydney University Juniors and in Canterbury Juniors going back about 10 years and she continues her volunteer work to date despite the fact that her twin sons played their last Rep rugby for Uni in the U16 s three years ago. I would like also to acknowledge all the support we have got from Hannah Catchpole and Sarah Dill-Macky nothing seems to too hard for this pair at SUFC Admin, including the organisation of our Juniors Rep Jersey Presentation Dinner at No.1 Oval, which was such a success this year from all accounts. To Ivan Pomare, our Juniors Development Officer, my greatest appreciation for his professionalism and exceptional work ethics in carrying out his role. We have in place a Juniors program that is well placed to produces well developed players looking into the future. Finally I would like to thank the SUFC Committee for their unwavering support throughout the seasons to date, the Juniors would not have flourished in to what it is today without the commitment SUFC has pledged for us, I would like to make special mention to David Mortimer AO SUFC President, for personally taking keen interest and supporting our Juniors.
