JWW off to Sydney
JWW off to Sydney
One of North Coast Football's rising young stars has been invited to join an exclusive Sydney school program which could provide a pathway to a career in football. 15 year old Jerry Whish-Wilson, from Coramba, has been offered a place at the elite Talented Sports Program (TSP) at The Hills Sports High School at Seven Hills in Sydney's west.
Jerry lives for the world game, having come up through the ranks at the Orara Valley club after moving from South Australia as a young boy. He now plays in the Orara Valley Youth Grade team and is part of the NCF State Youth League squad.
Earlier this year Jerry received an invitation to trial for a position at the school in front of Alen Stajcic, Coach of the Young Matildas, who also heads up the school's TSP for footballers.
After a couple of hours of putting Jerry through his paces, Alen indicated he thought Jerry would be right for the program. But before he could be offered a place Jerry had to undergo a fitness test and submit his school reports for the past two years.
"He blitzed the fitness test and I duly posted off his school reports from Coffs Harbour High and waited to hear from them," his Mum Donna said. "Then, the entire package was put before a panel and the selections were made. Jerry received a letter about 4 weeks later inviting him to be a part of the school's Talented Sports Program," Donna said.
Then the decision was made to accept the position and prepare for the move to Sydney to board. "Jerry is going to start there next year. It has been a big decision, but how can you knock back an opportunity like that?" Donna said.
As excited as he is to be moving to the big smoke and training under the eye of such a highly ranked coach, Jerry admits he will find it difficult to leave his friends behind. "Yes, that will be the bad side of going there. I will miss my friends, but hopefully I will make some new ones. I will still see them when I come back," Jerry said.
Richard Evans, head of coaching at North Coast Football, predicts a bright future for Jerry. "He's a class player. He's quick, he's sharp and has an instinct in front of goal as you can see from what he does in the State Youth League team and with Orara Valley," Richard said.
"And he's versatile. You can play him up front, in the middle of the park or out wide and that's a bonus,” he added.
Jerry will enter year 11 at Hills Sports High in 2011, but before that there is a couple of jobs to be done locally. This Sunday Jerry's NCF C.ex Group 15's team takes to the field for the final match of the State Youth League. A win in Newcastle means North Coast Football will win the competition.
After that Jerry will concentrate on getting his Orara Valley Youth Grade team through a NCF finals campaign. Currently sitting in third, the young Dingoes' squad needs to win this Sunday to ensure their place in the finals. Winning is something Jerry will no doubt experience quite a lot over the next few years, but a higher priority is his own development as a player.
Everyone at North Coast Football hopes to hear Jerry's name read out for a national team in the not to distant future and when that happens, locals can take pride in the knowledge they played their small part to get him there.

McDonald's Junior Player of The Week - Emmett Duncan
This is Emmett Duncan and he has been playing small sided football for three years.
Emmett plays for the Under 7's Sawtell Scorpions.

Sawtell FC 'Call to Arms' - update
SAWTELL F.C. CALL TO ARMS
RAISES OVER $700
Last weekend, 6th, 7th & 8th August, Sawtell Football (Soccer) Club rallied players and supporters and raised in excess of $700 for the Call To Arms Cancer Council Initiative.
On Friday night, at the 3rd division women's match between Orara Valley Dingoes and Dorrigo Cedars, fundraising kicked off with donations to a collection box.
On Saturday, the Under 14 boys were the first to take to the field wearing their yellow arm bands to support men who have survived cancer, those currently facing cancer and to remember those who have lost their lives to cancer.

The Club continued its fundraising with guessing competitions for the juniors (guess the lollies in the jar & guess the decorations on the giant cup cake) and selling raffle tickets in a $100 voucher at Fishtales Restaurant at the Sawtell Hotel, which was proudly donated by publican Greg Costello.
On Sunday morning on the deck at the Sawtell Hotel, a BBQ brunch was held, where more funds were raised and the raffle drawn.

Sawtell FC wishes to thank all those who assisted by donating to the collection box, buying a raffle ticket and/or entering the guessing competition.
Australian men are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer and less likely to survive their diagnoses and supporting Call To Arms is a great way to spotlight this pressing health issue, assist to find new treatments and fund support programs for men facing cancer.
Last weekend was a great way to give a little more than just sport back to the community.

From the CEO's Desk - July / August 2010
I don't know about you, but I'm still suffering from FIFA World Cup withdrawal.
Despite the fact the Socceroos didn't advance from their group, I still thoroughly enjoyed getting up in the early hours of the morning to watch the likes of Forlan, Oezil, Iniesta, Villa, Suarez and Robben.
The skill, speed, awareness and athleticism on display clearly demonstrates why we all need to keep working together to firstly and most importantly attract as many children as possible into our sport and then identify and develop the skills of the most talented to ensure Australia continues to compete on the World stage.
Bring on Brazil 2014!

Woolgoolga FC tackle cancer
Woolgoolga United Football Club
Tackle cancer this July
The Woolgoolga United Football Club club is joining big name sporting stars, Socceroos' Tim Cahill, Essendon's Andrew Welsh and Parramatta Eels' Tim Mannah in Cancer Council's Call To Arms this July to help tackle our toughest opponent yet – cancer.
The Club spokesperson Warren Alder said the club will fundraise by collecting donations throughout the day and will don a yellow armband for their Call To Arms matches, 7 in total to be played on 24th July at WUFC's home ground High Street Woolgoolga.
"We feel it's important to support Call To Arms to raise funds and awareness for cancer in men. The stat of 1 in 2 men affected by cancer by the age of 85 is confronting to say the least," said Warren Alder.
"Our players will wear yellow armbands to support men who have survived cancer, those currently facing cancer and to remember mates who have lost their lives to cancer."
Cancer Council spokesperson Irene Manitta said compared to women, Australian men are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer and less likely to survive their diagnoses and supporting Call To Arms is a great way to spotlight this pressing health issue.
"Call To Arms is a chance for all local sporting clubs, like the Woolgoolga United Football Club to rally together and help raise funds to help prevent cancers in men, find new treatments and fund support programs for men facing cancer," Ms Manitta said.
To support the Woolgoolga United Football Club Call To Arms matches, head to the Woolgoolga High Street grounds on Saturday 24th July and make a donation. For more information on Call To Arms visit: » www.calltoarms.com.au
