President’s Report

Dear Members, Supporters and Life Members, Another great year of winter sport is behind us and all participants should be congratulated for their efforts. In the 2013 season the Club has 1,105 members. This is a historical high level. The club should be proud to continue to attract and retain members of the community.

The Club has made progress in the development of the Ravens. Key developments include the creation and delivery of a football development programme for children 3-6 years old as an introduction to the sport. This was delivered over 10 weeks and was a great success that will hopefully help our junior recruitment efforts. Men’s Football and Women's Football also ran development squads with positive outcomes. Added to this we have ‘Before and After’ School care programmes being facilitated via Ravens in a bid to help our community. Women’s Football should be congratulated on being confirmed in State League by Football NSW. Netball has also has a great year and with strong leadership we have seen numbers grow.We still have our challenges. Limited playing resources (fields and courts), time constraints of our members/volunteers and working cohesively with governing bodies can at times be challenging.  On a financial front, we remained conservatively positive in delivering a healthy cash reserve for future development whilst trying to restrict our fees to a sensibly low level. After more than fifty three years, Ravens is still strong, healthy and serving our community.

Sports Directors’ ReportsMen’s Football

2013 was another exciting year both on and off the field.

I was privileged to see some great football from our new little U4 and U5’s (in Mighty Mites) all the way up to our newly established O45’s team. I believe our youngest player this year was 3 and our oldest was nearly 60. That is a great testament to the game and way our community embracing the game but it also presents some challenges to us as Club.

2013 had the greatest minis attendance in history with 11 teams plus another 40 players attending our new Mighty Mites initiative. Young boys and girls are embracing football in record numbers in our community and in response to this we have set up a special Minis Committee. This Committee will help us focus on the needs of minis such as coach training, management resources, kits, special OH&H needs and all other things that will help our young Ravens learn good football in a safe and friendly environment. Gala Day and Registration day were well attended and everyone helped out.

Our junior teams did well this year on the whole but we continue to struggle to cope with the influence of SAP, private schools and other Rep teams in the area attracting our strong players and often coaches. We witnessed as a Club some of the advantages and disadvantages and pressures of SAP and Rep football on some these young boys and that has prompted the Club to take a much greater interest on the GHFA association. All of our kids need to know the pathway to excellence and the pathway to simple social football and that balance is our greatest challenge in Junior Football in the coming years.

Youth Football continued to be strong and the formation of our Youth Elite team this year helped us forge a path for youth Ravens to higher graded football. This Youth Elite team played AA3 and competed admirably. I am really looking forward to keeping our young men playing football despite all the changes in their lives. Contrary to what some may say, study is not more important than football!

All age and Over 35 and Over 45 football did very well this year. In fact, the most beautiful football played this year was by these men... no question.

Super League had a tough year with lots of injuries and absences. However, they played good football and are developing players well. The Club and the Coaching staff have committed early to strengthen Super League with the creation of a Three Year Plan, Grading Committee and stronger integration with the Club. I think we can expect good things from Super League in the next few years.

All Men’s Football within the Club will be better served moving forward with the new establishment of the Men’s Football Committee. This and the Minis Committee are made up from people across the Club (Minis, Junior, Youth, AA, O35's and SL) to serve all of the Club.

The GHFA is being pressed to change the way it operates and this Club and many others support that change. For many years now the GHFA has not served this Club as well as it could and this Club is deeply troubled by the current GHFA's Board treatment of the Clubs, the GHFRA and the Football NSW. We are looking forward to change that leads to our Association helping its Clubs with the challenges they face and helping the players and the coaches make their football the best it can be.

Finally, I must thank the volunteers that give up so much of their time for you. All the coaches and managers, thank you for all you time and effort; thank you to the Board who have a largely thankless job but yet they stick with it; thanks to Vicki for those 3am mornings registering all the players and thanks to all the Committees and people who helped open the canteen, setup Gala Day and to those other people that help make this Club tick. But finally, I'd like to thank Ewen Page, the Head Coach, for taking on far too much and being next to me this whole year. Thank you.

Go Ravens. See you in 2014.

Jason Moody

Director of Men’s Football

Women’s Football

NWSWF competitionIn 2013 Ravens fielded 17 competitive and 6 non competitive teams in the North West Sydney Women’s Football Association and 5 teams in Football NSW Women’s State League competition. This equates to a total of 30 teams playing female football in 2013. The breakdowns of these teams are; 9 all age women’s, 14 junior and 5 Women’s State League teams.

To manage and run these teams takes a huge effort collectively and I would like to take this opportunity to thank ALL the coaches and managers for their efforts this year and hope that they enjoyed the season as much as I did in making Women’s Football such a success in 2013. Special thanks go to: Judy Gillespie, who won Volunteer of the year for her ongoing support and assistance

Mini’s U7- U11

We can be proud of the results and development of our U7 to U11 age groups. One can feel secure in knowing that Ravens offers the opportunities for girls in their development; always ensuring our junior teams will be competitive and within striking range of their competition ladder. The girls are showing some wonderful skills and commitment and at the same time having fun.

Six teams participated in this competition. Our U7 girls are a mixture of kindergarten and 1st class and have enjoyed their first season ever. Our one and only U10 team were dynamic; the girls have improved so much this season and are able to string a number of passes together. This will be a team to watch in the future. Our U11 were very competitive and a pleasure to watch, they have built on last year’s experience and are developing some very good skills. There are signs of some rising stars amongst them. These teams will become our foundation for next year in the competitive U12 competition.

Juniors U12 to U16

This year 2 teams competed in the U12 competition U12 White and U12 Black and finished 1st and 3rd respectively, where Ravens were handicapped with only receiving one bye whereas all other teams

Page 24: Annual General Meeting - The Gladesville Ravensgladesvilleravens.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2013/… · Web viewThe U16 Black finished 3rd but were unable to win a place in the grand

received 2 byes and associated points. Both teams were excellent in their execution on the field playing some wonderful football which resulted with the Whites producing 39 goals and only having 6 scored against and the Black’s also performed equally as well with 37 goals and 16 goals against. Both teams were the highest goal scoring of all teams in the competition.

Due to very little nominations for U13 teams, no competition was able to be formed.

Two teams were nominated for the U14 division 2 competition: U14 Black & U14 White with outstanding results which were unsurpassed throughout this competition or any junior’s competition. The U14 Blacked scored 68 goals for only 6 goals against. The U14 Blacks won both the premiership and championship a fantastic result. The U14 Whites were not as fortunate and finished in 8th position but never gave up on any game.

Due to very little nominations for U15 teams, no competition was able to be formed.

3 competitions were formed for the U16 age group. Ravens nominated 2 teams in Division 1 and 2 teams in Division 2. The U16 white division 1 team won the premiership with 29 goals for and 7 against the best performing team in that competition but lost the grand final in a tough fought game that ended up in a penalty shoot out. The U16 Black finished 3rd but were unable to win a place in the grand final all these girls were 15 years so will make a real difference next year.

The U16 Division 2 Black team won their competition by 10 points which is super effort and was underpinned by 40 goals for and 14 goals against.

The U16 White division 2 did not have the same capability only due to the commitment of the team. Coach Duncan was not able to coach the girls this year and this had immense impact on their confidence. Hopefully, they can turn this around next year.

A second-half blitz added to a fifth minute goal was enough to see off a determined Gladesville Ravens as Como-West Jannali battled the intense heat better at Blacktown Football Park to become the EA SPORTS Champions of Champions 21 Womens.

It was the Ravens who started the game the brighter when opening up Como in only the 4’ minute with Matilda Vaughan firing narrowly wide and less than a minute later forcing ‘keeper Lauren Militich into a fine save.

However, after the initial onslaught Como hit on the counter and after a goalmouth scramble it was Cherie Stewart who managed to prod the ball home to open the scoring and the Ravens could have, perhaps, equalised in the same minute when Georgia Brown hit a dashing effort straight at Militich to gather from good work by ‘Tilly’ Vaughan who was proving a real handful in the early stages.

Another chance went begging for Gladesville when Stephanie Seaman won the ball in midfield and slipped Vaughan through once more in the 12’ minute that required great reactions from Militich in coming to the rescue for Como.

Toward the end of the half and it was Vaughan again who powered off on a run toward goal leaving all in her wake, only to scuff the ball on the uneven surface that didn’t trouble the score board and, it has to be said, found Ravens unjustly behind at the break.

It all changed after the interval when Cherie Stewart set up Elizabeth Grey inside 60-seconds of the half to increase the lead from the kick-off.

Gladesville fought back hard and received scant reward when Vaughan finally found the back of the net in the 65’ minute after a poor defensive slip in the Como ranks after sustained Ravens pressure.

Come had to overcome increasing attacks as Gladesville sought parity but they left themselves open to the counter and were finally caught out in the 86’ minute Deborah Stewart rounded off the scoring for the math and added Como’s third of the morning to finally put the match to bed.

All seniors’ teams performed very well throughout the season

AA1 – This is the second season after 4 years of absence. Under new coach Macca the team finished 4th and were coming into their own in the second half of the season. Next year coach Macca believes there will be a huge improvement in the team as they come to realise the expectation of this competition.

AA2 - 2 teams competed in this division: the “young babes” where a majority of the girls were 17 years of age and our seasoned seniors. The “young babes” took out the competition with 31 goals for and 10 against.The seasoned seniors finished 3rd on the ladder with 25 goals for and 20 against.

AA3 –Black improved on last year’s standing by winning the competition with 30 goals for and 16 against but failed to win a spot in the grand final.

AA4 – runners up in this very competitive competition for the second year running but turned it around in a creative display of football in the grand final with a 2-1 win against West Ryde rovers.

O35’s

Ravens Over 35 women played outside our competition in the NSFA (Northern Suburbs Football Assoc.) W35 Div 1 due to circumstance outside our control. We would like to thank the NSFA for including us in a very strong competition. Despite this, the Ravens were both minor and major premiers, losing only one game and drawing one game throughout the season.

Ravens qualified to represent the NWSWA in the Over 30 Champion of Champions competition after beating the premiers from the NWSWA competition (The Flying Bats) 4-0 in a playoff. We then travelled far and wide against difficult opposition in always hot conditions to finally win out in the final against Tarrawanna 3-1 and become champions of the state for the 2nd time in 4 years.

Obviously this team is a quality side and all played their part throughout the season.

Congratulations to the Ravens players, Sharon Baker, Karen McMahon, Margaret Bass, Amy Carr, Moya Dodd, Kelly Duncan, Gillian Green, Suzanne Hardaker, Michelle Heffernan, Alison Kerry, Sandy Killick, Bianca Kringas, Vee Moustakas, Kathryn Person, Jo-Anne Plug, Christine Rudge, Sandra Awondatu, and Lisa Wollaston.

Ravens Women’s State League Squad 2013

Gladesville Ravens relegation from Premier League to State League was a hard pill to swallow but we have learnt a great deal from that and now have established a structure that will enable sustainability when we next get promoted.

The structure is introducing a qualified technical director to lead a coaching a framework and suitable coaches with the culture for exploring and developing through the FFA curriculum.

Sandra Awondatu a Dutch international is taking charge as TD and believes all the girls as well as coaches will benefit from her involvement.

2013 saw some mixed results with the U12 developing into a very good team that made it to the Grand Final only to go down to UNSW Lions 2-0 under hot conditions in September .

The U14 and U16 finished 7th and 5th respectively and had opportunities but were unable to capitalise, whilst our seniors started to find their stride in the second half of the Season only to find the push to the top 5 was too difficult to reach.

This was year of re-building and re-structuring to ensure we can deliver not only the results but great coaches to develop the players to meet their aspirations.

Netball Report Gladesville Ravens netball had another successful year with 25 teams in the ERNA Saturday competition in 2013 with a total of 243 players.

This year we had 7 teams playing Netta modified netball at Brush Farm. Netta is for 8 to 10 year olds and incorporates skill development and round robin game play with the emphasis on participation and FUN. It allows the girls to learn and develop their skills with a positive introduction to netball, ensuring enjoyment and continued participation within the sport.

There were 18 teams in competition netball at Meadowbank with 10 junior teams, 2 cadet teams and 6 senior teams.

With 10 of the 18 competition teams making the finals the results were:

B1 finished the season as premiers 5 teams in the grand finals, one senior and 4 junior – B1, 12/3, 11/3,

11/4, 11/5 One championship team - 11/4 who won their grand final

AwardsHolly O’Brien in 11/4 won the ERNA Most Valuable Player in 11/4 grade. This award is voted by the opposition teams every week and with the most votes over the season, Holly won this prestigious award out of all the clubs in her grade.

The perpetual Lyn Macdonald Trophy was awarded to the 11/4 team for their outstanding season in 2013.

I would like to thank Deb Randell for coordinating umpires every week for each of our teams and also to all the umpires. We have struggled with umpires this year for the senior teams with 5 teams playing at 3.30pm. Deb has done a brilliant job ensuring we had enough umpires. Ravens have supported 2 umpires through the umpiring development program.

The time has come for all teams to change to the Ravens bodysuits, so the last remaining teams in the old uniforms must change for 2014 competition.

I would also like to thank the netball committee Margot Cooper, Cettina Lahiri and Deb Randell.

Many thanks to all the team managers, coaches and volunteers for their contribution throughout the season. Without these volunteers there would be no netball.
