Club Subs
A reminder that club subs are due if you haven’t paid as yet. Please note that we will have no choice but to apply a NO PAY NO PLAY rule for players with subs outstanding. It is unfair on the boys and parents who have made the effort to pay to spend time on the bench when players who have not paid get to play. PLEASE do not ask your coach why your player is not getting game time, we will play players who have paid their subs before those that have not. Rovers Bank details are as follows:

Rovers U/12 Team 1 x 2 Benoni Northerns

Rovers U/12 Team

Benoni Northens Team

Rovers U/12 team played against the Benoni Northens on Saturday the 23 of May 2009.

The game started at 9:00am in Benoni.

The game was nice. Very nice. they said... Both times played very well!

Maybe the boys need to communicate a little more.

Man of the match was Lungi (again, well done)

Unfortunately Slaide is leaving Rovers soon.

After the game, a pose for the camera...

Rovers U/14 Team vs Alberton

Wednesday the 21.05.2009, the Rovers U/14 Team paid a visit to the Alberton team in they're home ground.

The weather was cold, very cold... but our harts where boiling hot. The boys from Alberton displayed a fantastic football, winning the game by 4x1. Don't get me wrong, our boys where up to they're standards and demostrated a superb class making the Alberton boys work hard for the winning.

The only goal from Rovers was scored by Shakill, convincing everyone with his skillful foot work. Well done.

Rovers U/10 Team vs Alberton

The Rovers U/9 team performed to the taste of good things to come this Saturday when they played against the Alberton team.

The game started at 9:30am in home turf, receiving the visitor with two goals with no answer.

The goals where scored by Kamo and Angus. Well done.

As it may be noticeble, the information about the game is a bit vague at this moment, as I wrote this report based in Alldair's comment. As he says, “ I did not see properly because I was playing too”...

So, I invite anyone who would like o comment about the game to write and fax to 0866525821 or e-mail to me on rovesfclub@gmail.com.

Rovers U/14 vs Bocksburg

Sunday May 10th, 2009, the Rovers U/14 team received the boys from Bocksburg in home field.

The game started at 10:30am with parents like me screaming and pushing for their kids.

The game was fabulous, in the first halve, the Rovers boys dominated the game playing almost exclusively in the opponents area.

The Keeper.

Our “Shorty” Keeper was up to his class, demonstrated his talent in the box. Yes, he allowed the visitors to score two goal which made a Drew 2-2.

Lost Opportunity's.

It is uncontested that Rovers U/14 was superior in the field, even with some lost opportunities to score demosntrated by our boys.

Couch Claudio.

Couch Claudio besides the below average size, make himself present in the field, always with a word of encouragement, advise to his players. He keeps ON the full time without loosing control. But he gets tough when needed, with his famous “you own me five push ups boy”.

Waterstone College Skills Development

Various schools and clubs rely on volunteers (often parents) to coach children in their chosen sports. These volunteers are few which leads to the number of teams chosen, kept to a minimum.

This results in many children not being given the opportunity to participate in sports, as they do not ‘make the grade’. Consequently these children become totally inactive and spend too muchof their spare time in front of the television and playing Play Station.

Further to this, whether your child is a good or mediocre player, time for coaching is often limited and there is little focus on the finer points that so often make a difference in aplayer’s ability.

We aim to fill these gaps in coaching but must stress that we are neither an academy nor a club. Our objective is to take children in their chosen sport and enhance their SKILLS. These can then be put into practice at their clubs and/or schools, giving some a better opportunity to be chosen for a team or, for the already accomplished player, enhancing their abilities.

Further to this we will instill a sporting discipline as well as encourage good sportsmanship, which the children can then carry through onto the sports field.

A child’s overall attitude towards the game is vital in sport. We offer clinics which are held on a Saturday over a 4 week period as well as a 5-day clinic held during school holidays.

We endeavour to obtain the best coaches in all fields who have a passion for the sport as well as an understanding of children.

Weaim to have a maximum of 8 children per coach but, if needed, one on one coaching can be arranged.

For further information, please do not hesitate to contact Graham Addinall on 083 325 8736 or send an email to graham@adcot.co.za.

Prize giving day.

Rovers Trophy for the best of the best.

On Saturday the 13th Rovers FC family got a fabulous get together at Ritvlei Zoo Farm as previously scheduled. It started as a Swiss clock. 12 O’clock.

The place was crowded with people, all seated on camping chairs, others in the blankets, almost everyone had a Coleman with delicious stuff. But for sure there was not short of beer.

Very briefly, the chairman thanked for the presence and support from grannies, parents, players, teams management...

Glenn, the chairman, started by acknowledging the support of parents during the season, the collaborators, the fund raisers, sponsors. Thanked the players for the outstandind achievement during the year.
The chairman spoke about the improvements in the facilities, the investment in the players...

In overall, he said that the club had outperformed the previous years (and did not lie).

The table with all the medals, trophies, and super trophies was unveiled, everyone become more anxious to hear their kids name being called. Like me, many parents made sure to take cameras to immortalize the moment of recognition.

The U/12 team with Coach Jason

The names started rolling with the U/12 team.
They have improved their performance, the medals where ceremoniously attributed to the players, having given a trophy for most goals scorers Candeon, Miguel and Adlen, most dedicated players Adlen and Viren, and most improved player Bradley.
Sad note on this chapter is that coach Jason will not be returning next year; fortunately/unfortunately he has other professional commitments. We at Rovers will miss him and wish him the best of life.

The U/11 team with Coach Basil (right) Glenn (left) and Angela (backwards next to Glenn )

Coach Basil also had delivered fabulously. He leaded the U/11 team.
The boys where given medals and trophies. Then, the most outstanding performers where presented with super trophy’s. They where, top scorer Devon Peterson, player of the year Stuart Papworth, best improvement Tristan Muthree, top goal scorer Devan, most dedicated Jardel Lopes and added a special category, "the coaches trophy" which is to present the one that listens to the coaches instructions the most went to Joshua Reece.
From now on, the destiny of the U/11 is solemnly in coach Siva’s hands.

But we where not free of the black cloud yet; the chairmen announced that after being with Rovers for six sweet years, coach Basil decided on a "retirement"... After some many years, finally, his wife will not sit alone to watch the sunset.

The U/8 team

Continuing was acknowledged the tremendous 360 degree turn that Coach Martin delivered with the U/8 team. From losing almost every game last year, this year they scored joint second place in the league.

In the beginning of the season, the boys had a crawling start, loosing couple of games, but from around the second month of the season, were simple systematic good performances.
All players got their medals closer to their heart, some boys where distinguished with extra honors for best Player Jordan, Best Improvement Alldair and Blane.

The U/7 team

The Unbeatable, the mighty U/7 team coached by Coach Dave did not stop surprising us. They went 2 years without loosing a single match. It’s a fantastic achievement hain? When we believed that there was nothing more in the bag, they finally lost... the last game of the season, but the title was in the bag. They won the U/7 league and the "Rovers top team" trophy. What a trophy.

Then last but not the least, Glenn called on Claudio, our “in house referee” and quoted one of his positive attitudes when refereeing the small ones…
- “He always makes sure to explain to the kid, why of giving a certain punishment. It is important for the kid, to learn with his mistakes so that in future it doesn’t happen again.”

After the prize giving, the fires that were lit long before, were put to good use. All the t-bones, beefs, boerwors, chickens landed in the braii. The smell filled the air all around us. Everyone was exited, parents and coaches chatting, the kids running around playing... Ball.

Since this is the month of fasting for the Muslims like me, I guessed I would be much conforble somewhere else where the main activities were not lunch.
I landed home watching the Beijing Paralympics on TV.

Celso Amade

We are meeting tomorrow !

Final Meeting 18th September 2008.
