What has happened with the 16's Branch team?
New coach, new manager and only 2 out of the 16 Lightning boys selected?

The coach due to work commitments couldn't make the trip to Bathurst. I imagine the manager was one of the parents of a lightning player whose son is not going.
A lot of the parents of lightning boys didn't want to commit due to the cost of the trip ($550 for the lightning) on top of the rego they have already paid.
The CCF encouraged them to go and I would say it is another sign of the problems currently at CCF as to why they didn't go.
Good luck to the boys that are going it's just a shame that effectively we are not sending our strongest team, and this may reflect on the region.

I guess if you send a team to a competition with only 2 days of training, you can clearly say we are not sending the best side. Easy to get out of hot water. Perhaps if they had been chosen earlier and there was a commitment the story may be different however, we do not want them to do better than lightning as "we" might have egg on our faces.

Unfortunately as much as I'm critical off the CCF much of the problem here lies with the weather
due to the field / training area closures there has been nowhere to select or train this squad.
Even more unfortunate is the reality that this will affect the team's performance at Bathurst.

I have just seen the results for our so called representative Metro Far North teams at the state titles. Today Central coast football, the board the management and the HPM should hold their heads in shame. For those of you who have not seen the results over the week then check the NSW Football website under competitions, state titles. This would be no fault of the boys who went along to play in this tournament. Central coast football had to beg players to go and you ask the question why, then let the parents tell you when you see them next. This would have to be an embarresment to the whole region.

The coach of the 15s is quoted in the CCExpress Advocate (again) as saying that his team went into the titles with injuries - obviously some of them substantial injuries. That's his excuse for losing and for forfeiting the last two games. The question should be asked why a squad that was fit wasn't chosen in the first place, rather than relying on the incumbent Lightning team. The answer is that the pool of boys (and their parents) willing to be coached by this man is getting smaller and smaller. When will CCL see the light?
With State Titles it doesn't really matter who wins. It's a celebration of football and, though played competitively, is more about taking part. So unless this coach has had a personality transplant he will be hurting like hell from these big losses.
As for the 14s, none of them wanted to go in the first place.
The 15's coach is a disgrace and has always been. He has no idea on how to coach nor pick players, why is he still there?. As for the HPM , he is too blame, he allows such mediocrity and politics to get in the way. This CCF needs a total clean up from Coaches to admin staff and board of directors.
BRANCH titles has nothing to do with Lightning and it is a celebration of our region the central coast and whilst these pathetic individuals make statements such as "We will give preference to players who play for us or CCF comps" . Pathetic, there are many kids playing outside because they date to play in the BEST COMP they can.
Wake up central coast and lets demand change

Central Coast Football has performed a back flip worthy of a 10 in next weeks olympics by announcing open trials for the 16 girls state titles.
The HPM has publically stated on numerous occassions that open trials are a waste of time and would not be the way CCF would select teams.
Well it seems that the debacle that saw three of our four teams in the boys competitions not even win a game, one team forfeiting 2 games and one team losing 15-1 has seen him change his opinion.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact no one wants to touch CCF with a barge pole and they will take anyone who owns a pair of boots and has $500 spare.

Finally, this may soon change. FNSW have decided that state titles and rightly so, it is their comp and not Lightnings, so if you look at this add:
http://www.footballnsw.com.au/index.php?id=42 and check job role for position COACHING AND DEVELOPMENT AREA MANAGER (6 POSITIONS)
It clearly highlights that State Titles will be run by FNSW and that candidate will be responsible for securing appropriate coaches etc. The problem this will bring is that I'm 100% sure that Lightning officials will banned kids from going and thus no chance of state team or NSWIS selections. We parents need to be strong and allow best kids to go and play for our region.

Checked out the above link, correct me if i'm wrong, but can't see any position advertised that would imply FNSW is implementing a system where 'they' would appoint coaches for our region that would oversee State Title's. ???
Jobs listed are for:
In the past Alan Bourke, as the Regional Coach for our area, made the decision after receiving applications, as to who would be appointed as coach to the respective teams that went to State Titles for both Boys & Girls sides.
His position was made redundant by FNSW amid much controversy, as being a respective region ourselves and paying a shit load of $$$ to them in the form of registrations from local players as well as representative players from the various State League competitions, we, the region of the Central Coast now get nothing in regards to this 'job position'.
It's been left to the association, CCF to determine the appointment of Coaches for State Titles as well as the other responsibilities that Alan Bourke had, which also included the development of junior boys & girls in elite programs, Coaches Development, Branch Team selection etc.
The 'Song remains the Same", in that Lightning....cough, I mean the CCF are still at the helm in this area that you highlight
Jobs listed are for:
- Regional Coaching and Devolopment manager of 'Western-Region', (we are known as Far North Metropolitan),
- Senior Mens Devolopment' which covers U14/15's & U16/17's running from Valentine Park and
- Coaches etc, for the 'W-League' for the womens national comp.

Positions close of date have expired and they are interviewing and also FNSW did not pull position from Allan Bourke, Keech did this. The job did specify just that that the person would seek applications for Coaching pos for State Titles and about time as the current crop with a couple of exemptions are pathetic.
Anyway I wish the guy well as this region is run by dictators and they think they invented the game. But what I do know, that this is needed as at at least this person will not report to CCF and that can only be good for kids that want to represent region but play elsewhere.

Excellent news for junior development, impartiality one of the benefits. However I wonder how this person will go trying to integrate w/ the CCF if they don't want 'to play ball' so to speak & deny access to grounds for programs, not allow/release Lightning players to participate (which has occurred when Mariners wanted to trial some of our local boys) etc, etc :
Yes Keech was partly to blame for AB's demise, his wages were a 50/50 deal between FNSW and CCSA, Keech wanted his wages entirely funded by the FNSW, said 'get-stuffed'. His arrogant attitude was that he thought he was smart enough to take the Coast on a 'we''ll go it alone' strategy.
Well we went it alone alright! Not included in the revamped NSW Telechoice Premier League, put the CC Mariners offside by just expecting them to pump money in (& why would you), $1.something million in the red then the prick can't even give the Coast a simple 'please explain'
Keech left and thank christ, but the mindset remains.
I think this FNSW Regional Devlpmnt. Mngr. would be better off forming stronger relationships with the CCMariners FC than CCF, more like minded people in their offices than at Pluim.

Keech has left his legacy unfortunately.
What a digrace that Lightning would not release some of the 18's for the trial game at Wahroonga. How much benefit would those kids have gained from that.
It meant they would have missed training though. Such vision!
Well Rowdy and FNSW100 - looks like job filled as they are now advertising Johnny Warren FF for 2008/09 etc. What I like is that they are asking players to contact them if they fail to make branch sides etc. This is a good thing I think.

Has anyone got any news or can they confirm that Central Coast and Kuringai Associations have joined for State Titles 2009. Heard rumors that FNSW via SA & High Performance Unit are appointing coaches and it will be OPEN trials.
