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

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.

SUFC President David Mortimer AO speaks at 2015 Season Launch


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 42-22 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 35-34 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 30-24 win, and Firsts

collected the W. McMahon Memorial Shield with a 35-

26 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 2012. And Second

Grade Colts made it 10 premierships in a row, starting

in 2006.

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 47-32 to Brisbane City, who went on to defeat Canberra Vikings 21-10 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.

SUFC celebrates its 12th straight Club Championship


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.

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 2015. 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.

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.

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.

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

2015-16 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.


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 35-17 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

45-24 win over defending premiers Warringah in the

semi-final. It was Sydney University’s first title since

2011. 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,

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.

Our Ball Boys are some of our most dedicated volunteers


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.

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.

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.

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


SUFC Staff Thank You

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!

Christian Kagiassis, Leading Points Scorer for the Club in 2015


• 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


• 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 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.

• 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.

1st Grade after their warm-up before their West Harbour fixture at Concord Oval


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 2014. 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.

General Manager’s Report

Boys singing the Club Song to celebrate the 2015 Club Championship


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. A

last minute change of guest speaker due to a new

Australian Prime Minister and the pouring rain wasn’t

Chris “Nobby” Malone will be with Nick Phipps next year at the Waratahs

Trivett Rugby World Cup Lunch at Doltone House Darling Island Wharf


Some of our Staff and Volunteers watching on at the Colts Grand Finals

enough to dampen the spirits of those who attended.

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.

2016 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.

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

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.

Finance Report

The Club is reporting modest shortfall of $10,757 for

the year ending 31 October 2015. 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.

SUFC Foundation Report

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.

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

Banjo Travers in 2nd Colts against Warringah

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.

Chairman, SUFC Foundation


Friends of SUFC Report

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.

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.

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.

SURPASS Report

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.

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 2015. 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.

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.

The aim of the Club’s medical and physiotherapy

services is to quickly and accurately diagnose and

manage all injuries. This allows players to have the

best management possible for their injury as well as

minimising time off playing and preventing re-injury.

‘Rugby triage’ session continued on in The Sports

Clinic on Mondays mornings. At these sessions the

physiotherapists were available to briefly assess

and begin initial management of all injuries from

Saturday’s game.

Players requiring medical management of their injuries

were seen by Dr Rae and Dr Samra at the Sports

Clinic and bulk billed. Players needing to see a physio

during the week were treated by Shane or 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.


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.

Dr David Samra takes Jay Spencer from the field

This year there were 63 injuries that kept the Colts

and Grade players off the field for period of 5 weeks

or more (or would have if the season hadn’t ended).

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.

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

10 Thigh and calf injuries: Hamstring strain 8, Calf strain 2

8 Knee injuries: ACL 2, PCL 2, Patellar subluxation 2, MCL 1, Meniscal tear 1

6 Head injuries: Concussion 4, Jaw fracture 1, Orbital fracture 1

4 Neck injuries: 4 acute disc bulges, (1 also canal stenosis)

5 Hand and wrist injuries: Metacarpal fracture 2, Scaphoid Fracture 1, Radius fracture 1, CMC joint dislocation thumb 1

2 Back pain: Acute disc injury 1, pars stress fracture 1

2 Groin pain: Osteitis Pubis 1, Hip sprain 1

1 knee laceration reopened/infected.

Surgical injuries this year numbered 23. This was similar to last year’s numbers. They included:

6 Shoulder operations: 4 Shoulder reconstructions, 1 SC joint reduction, 1 clavicle fracture

5 Knee operations: 2 ACL, 2 menisectomies, 1 arthroscope

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

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 2010.

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.

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 2015.

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


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

The 2015 Players Ball held at the Establishment Ballroom

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.

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


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.

Lots of support on the sideline at the 2nd Grade Grand Final


Rugby Program Report

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 2015. 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.

Our Ball Boys bowing their heads at the ANZAC Day fixture against Northern Suburbs


1st Grade

Although it was extremely disappointing not to earn the opportunity to compete in the 2015 1st 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 35-34 Grand Final win over Randwick after being beaten 12-40 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 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.

Australian U20s representative Folau Fainga’a at Hooker in 1st Colts


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.

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

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.

Will Ridley, Alex Batho and Jack Jones training on the USA High Performance Tour in San Diego

Our USA High Performance Tour group visiting the Arizona State University Sun Devils Stadium


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 big-

game 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.

Some of our SUFC Waratahs, David Dennis, Pat McCutcheon, Tom Carter and Jeremy Tilse


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!

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.

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 2015

2015 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 2016.

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 1st Grade celebrating a try by speedster Tom Kingston


to bed. A 44-0 hiding of Eastern Suburbs at Woolahra

where we played some great rugby. The 29-12

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 hard-

nosed 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 Carter scores a try to become the leading 1st Grade try scorer in SUFC history against Northern Suburbs, also his 200th Grade game

Tom Coolican at Hooker and Al Ryan at Loose Head Prop in 1st Grade scrum


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.

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.

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.

Halfback Jake Gordon was rewarded for his performances this year in 1st Grade with a rookie Waratahs contract

1st Grade Forwards coach Tim Davidson overlooks warm up


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 2015.

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.


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.

Chris Malone with his sons and SUFC Ball Boys Hamish and Josh Malone

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


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 XV Report

Matt Narracott, 2nd Grade Best Back for 2015

2nd celebrates after a try in the Grand Final

Our second loss to Randwick was the turning point

of the season, where the coaching group had to

exhibit some tough love at training to really change the

mindset. Thankfully that tough physical week of training

got us back on track for the remainder of the year.

Over the course of the season Randwick were our

nemesis, and having lost to them 3 times, 28-34

(home), 22-17 (away) and in the first playoff game 40-

12 it was fitting that we met them in the Grand Final.

We had to take the hard road to get there, through

the Minor Premiers; Manly at Manly, but an excellent

performance in that match put us in good stead

for the Grand Final, and our final chance to make

amends against Randwick.

The Final was an absolute heart stopper with the lead

changing several times. After establishing an early

lead, and then surrendering it with just 10 minutes to

go, many teams would have dropped their heads to

a team that had beaten them 3 times previously. It

is a testament to the spirit, courage and pride of the

group that they were able to rise up and take their

physicality to another level for that final 10 minutes of

the Grand Final. Eventually snatching the game by a

single point!


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.

I just want to give a huge THANK YOU to all of the

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

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.

3rd Grade celebrate a victory at home


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.

4th XV Report

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 49-10 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.

4th Grade shake hands after a dominant win over Gordon


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.

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.

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.

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.

Hamish Dunbar, SUFC Best and Fairest Colt for 2015


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 semi-

finals. 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!

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.


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.

2nd Colts Report

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 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 20-13. The playing group pledged after that game that it would never happen again and they kept to it. This was helped by the leadership of Xander Jackman, who kept the boys in line from day one.

The culture that the whole Colts program had was unbreakable. 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.

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.

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 2015.

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.

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 2015.

Ambrose Plaister, James Caterson and Peter Harris with the Shell Trophy

Xander Jackman, 2nd Colts captain and best back for 2015

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 2013. 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.

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


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.

They also began to respond to challenges in a

superior manner. For example, when the team was

docked competition points for an innocent admin mix-

up, 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 60-13

victory, where Uni completely ran Norths off the park.

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.

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).

SUFC 3rd Colts, Bill Simpson Shield winners 2015

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.

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.

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.

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 2014. 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. Our U10’s were

selected by their respective club coaches with

each club nominating 6 players to participate in the

Tournament.

SUFC Under 11’s at State Championships at Blackman Park, Lane Cove


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

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.

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

2006.

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.
