President’s Message
2008 was very successful in many ways for Capital Football. On the field, we saw the second year of
the revamped Men’s Premier League competition, including the Premier Pathway League and Premier
Under 18s, and the introduction of the Premier Under 16 League. The Honours went to Belconnen
United who were Grand Final Winners in the top three grades.
A review of the Women’s League was undertaken, which amongst other things, resulted in a proposal
to introduce a premier under 18’s (with alignment to the Club Pink premier league teams) for 2009.
The biggest highlight for the women’s game was undoubtedly the formation of the National Women’s
League and the acceptance of Canberra United into that competition. Great credit must go to all
involved in relation to the formation of the team, recruitment of officials, players and sponsors, and the
management of the home games at McKellar Park. It was very pleasing to see that Canberra United
was the best-supported of all the teams in the competition.
The Junior League continued to grow to such an extent that it appears we may have problems in
obtaining sufficient grounds if the increases in participation continue next year. The roll-out of smallsided games was finalised with Football Federation Australia officials being very impressed with our
efforts in achieving this result.
As directed by FFA, the integration of Futsal within Capital Football was completed during the year.
The integration complemented the recommendations following a review of Futsal earlier in the year.
The Tuggeranong Futsal office was closed as management operations were moved to Deakin. A staff
restructure resulted in David Lee being appointed as Futsal League Manager and new technical duties
being incorporated into the Assistant Technical Director position. The Futsal National Championships
were again successfully hosted in January with increased FFA support which enabled the finals to be
played at the AIS Arena.
A Review was also undertaken of the Capital Football Academy programs that led to a new
articulation of the vision, role and functions of the Academy. Meetings with the ACT Academy of Sport
and FFA were also convened as part of the redefining of administration and technical duties and
responsibilities.
Capital Football also demonstrated its endorsement and support for an A-League licence by
providing a $10K donation for foundation membership. On a complementary note, our emphasis on
youth participation continued with a bigger and more popular Kanga Cup for local, interstate and
international teams.
With the guidance of Brendan Lynch, we also released a new triennium strategic plan, ‘Going for
Goals’ which sets out our vision, objectives and strategic priorities for the next three years. I thank all
the people who gave their time and shared their practical experience, insight and understanding to
enable us to create this important document.
I also thank the outgoing members and representatives of the respective Standing Committees and
Zones and congratulate those members who were elected in July for the next two-year term. Your
contributions to our forward direction is much appreciated as is the support of our sponsors and the
ACT Government who continue to acknowledge the efforts of Capital Football in raising participation
and the profile of sport in Canberra.
On behalf of the Board, I wish to congratulate Niels Hummell on being awarded Life Membership and
to Julie Murray and Rhonda Parkin on being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Finally, I wish to thank all my fellow Directors and the management team in the Capital Football office
for their efforts over the past year. It is only through the collective efforts of these people that we can
continue to deliver quality football and services, at all levels, to the people of the ACT and region

Chief Executive Officer’s Report
As noted in many of this year’s reports, 2008 marked another productive year. For instance, with the
help of independent consultants we completed a timely review of the CF Academy program as well
as a review of the governance and management of Futsal. In addition, a new strategic plan, Going for
Goals, was released in August giving us a framework upon which to nurture and promote all aspects of
football over the next three years.
In conducting the Academy review, Brendan Lynch found that overall there is strong support for the
programs and compared with other Federations, our Academy is seen as a leading model in Australia.
Further, our Academy will be well poised to play a major role as the national talent development plan
evolves with regard to high performance of young players. Funding for the Academy is limited which
means the achievements of the eight squads relies on a user-pays system. Therefore, maximising and
growing funding and partnerships will be crucial for future sustainability and success. The introduction
of national junior championships for boys 13s and girls 14s next year will also have an impact on
resources but also on lengthening the player pathway. Further, there is a need for continuously
educate all stakeholders as to the benefits of the Academy to the broader football community in
Canberra and the region.
Capital Football’s support for A-League Pre-Season Cup games and funding for the
A-League4Canberra bid is important in many ways. This is particularly relevant as Football Federation
Australia (FFA) places more emphasis on A-League clubs to enhance the talent pathway by providing
Academy-style programs for players aspiring to national league competitions. Without an A-League
team in Canberra our talented players will be forced to move elsewhere to realise their goals.
Likewise, our involvement in the new national women’s league also deserves recognition and
explanation. With the Westfield W-League structure being based on the A-League model, there was
no guarantee that a team from Canberra would be included in this highly anticipated league. After
much lobbying to FFA and great commitment from the Board of Capital Football to financially back a
team, we embarked on a hectic journey with Canberra United that involved forming a management
committee, appointing coaching staff, recruiting players and securing sponsors. I am especially
pleased that the CFMEU, ActewAGL and the ACT Government all committed sponsorship and that
Senator Kate Lundy agreed to lead the club as independent chairperson. The W-League is different to
any previous national league as we look forward to national television coverage, professional delivery
of home games, increased status and a much higher profile for female players that will inspire many
younger ones to be part of our great game.
With respect to Futsal, Henny Oldenhove’s work confirmed that the ACT has been a leader in
Futsal development for many years and ACT teams and players have been very successful on the
national and international levels. Henny noted that the national requirement for Futsal to merge
with Capital Football had created tensions and caused unrest in the Futsal community. Seventeen
recommendations were presented to the Board for consideration in the areas of governance,
management, competitions, technical, operations and facilities. It’s pleasing to note that most of
those recommendations have been implemented with the more obvious ones being a management
restructure and the location of the Futsal office at Football House. Additional resources have also
been given to technical and premier level competitions. It’s fair to say that the ACT Futsal Review has
provided a benchmark for a national review of all-things Futsal that will be conducted by FFA with a
report due in April 2009.
Brendan Lynch also led us through a triennium strategic planning exercise. Going for Goals outlines
strategic initiatives listed under four pillars: business development, people development, high
performance and community football development. The initiatives that support these pillars provide
for good governance, sound financial planning and management, community engagement,
communication, research and partnerships. All football participants are encouraged to adopt the plan
as your plan as we strive to collectively reach greater heights and unity over the next three years.

At the end of 2007 we were facing severe water restrictions with the likelihood that sportsgrounds
would not be watered. Fortunately, stage 4 restrictions were not introduced and we were able to
concentrate on improving the delivery of our competitions. In this regard, the men’s league had an
extra division as well as the underpinning under 16s linked to the premier league clubs. The women’s
league reported record numbers and is now likely to strengthen the premier pathway with an
underpinning under 18s division next year. The ‘player of the year’ awards were given greater status
by being named after significant contributors to our sport with Dustin Wells from Belconnen winning the
inaugural ‘Valeri Medal’ and Sofia Merkoureas from Belwest taking out the ‘Julie Murray Medal’.
Futsal competitions also had higher numbers with the premier leagues for men and women attracting
quality players and many clubs. This part of our business will continue to grow and we will aim to
include additional support for junior competitions. The successful hosting of the Futsal National
Championships in January provided another boost to this important part of our sport.
The final roll-out of small-sided football to our junior league proved to have no adverse impact judging
by the number of registrations which almost reached 12,000. We have now achieved more than any
other Federation and can be pleased with the transition to what is now a national program supported
by Optus. Small-sided football was also introduced to the Kanga Cup with the under 10s playing
9-a-side on small fields. This trend will continue in 2009 as we showcase the Optus Small-Sided Football
approach to this important element of junior football. Our aim for the Kanga Cup was to have 210
teams by 2010, however, this was surpassed this year with over 220 teams participating including seven
teams from overseas and a welcome return of visitors from the USA.
The ACT Government committed $1.7m to the installation of lights and a synthetic pitch at Hawker
Enclosed. Given the significant investment we will need to manage this particular project in a very
professional manner in order to maximise the use of the facility and its commercial potential as well as
demonstrate the capacity to support a second synthetic pitch in Canberra.
Our administration also grew as we refurbished the office to accommodate the Futsal staff, installed
a new phone system and web server, engaged Solid Data for off-site daily IT back-up and with the
support of Alan Bradbury we completed a Business Continuity Plan. Capital Football welcomed new
staff members - Andrew FitzPatrick (Women’s League Manager), Nicole Somi (Competition Assistant)
and Pat McCann (Assistant Technical Director). David Lee was appointed Futsal League Manager,
Alasdair Grocock moved to Men’s League Manager, Steven McIntyre became acting General
Manager and Chris Gottaas moved to full-time as PR and Media Officer. We also farewelled Jen De
Gabrielle, Ross Jones, Alex Butt and Trish Collins and I thank them for their valuable contribution to our
small but resourceful team.
From a governance perspective, we lost Mel Mallam from the Board when she accepted a job with
FIFA but we appointed Catherine Ordway to fill the casual vacancy. Elections for Standing Committees
and Zone Representatives were held in July and I extend my appreciation to Ian Hotchkiss and Adrian
Dodd who did not seek re-election and congratulate the continuing Members as well as Kerrie Murray
and Mark O’Neill as new zone representatives. Bill Simeonovic also replaced Roger Prowse as the chair
of the Referee’s Standing Committee.
Finally, I acknowledge the great support we’ve had from our sponsors including the ACT Government
and Australian Capital Tourism, ActewAGL, Capital Trophies and Sportswear, Club Pink (CISAC),
McDonald’s ACT, Project Coordination, the Village Building Company and the Tradies Group.
As I come to the end of my fifth year as CEO, I reflect on the much appreciated assistance and
support given by the Board of Directors to me personally and to the sport as a whole. I record my
sincere thanks to all for making my job all the more rewarding and I wish everyone an enjoyable and
successful 2009.

Kanga Cup Report
2008 was the 18th Kanga Cup and as each year has passed, the tournament has continued to
grow. With increased formal and informal marketing and by building networks with football
associations across the globe, the 2008 Kanga Cup saw 228 teams participate in the week-long
tournament. This represented an increase from 171 teams in 2007.
Participating in the Kanga Cup is a major highlight for youth players with over 120 local teams
from participating this year. The Kanga Cup is also one of a few tournaments in the southern
hemisphere open to club teams, as opposed to representative teams, of all standards of football. The attraction of the tournament to international teams has also continued to increase over the
years with seven international teams from four countries participating in 2008.
A number of new initiatives were trialled, including the introduction of a boy’s under-10
competition that was structured on small-sided football rules and an online registration system. The under 10 competition attracted 28 teams from four state federations. This competition will
be continued in future years with expected increased participation and a greater awareness of
small-sided football. The online registration system made the process of team registration and
updating information a lot faster and easier than previous years. This system is now being refined
to further enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the self registration system.
The social program was further expanded. The tournament
began with a Referees Seminar, which greatly assisted to
educate referees on standardised rulings and thus improve
the level of satisfaction with referees in the tournament. We
were pleased to welcome former FIFA referee, Tammy Ogston
who gave the keynote address at the seminar. The Opening
Ceremony took place in the AIS Arena and worked very well in
the indoor space. The ‘Moove to the Groove’ disco was at the
AIS Arena and whilst the players were socialising and dancing,
the coaches greatly appreciated the chance to learn from
some professional coaches at a Seminar held at the same time.
The Movie night once again exceeded expectations and the
continued support from Greater Union will allow this to expand.
The Awards Ceremony worked well ‘taking it to the people’
during the day after the semi-finals at Mawson on the second
last day.
The tournament recorded the highest number of referees and
we acknowledge the support of Daniel Murphy, David Kurti
and David Rowell along with increased band of referees who
helped make this year’s Kanga Cup a great success.
McDonald’s ACT and Australian Capital Tourism have once again been key supporters of
the Kanga Cup and we thank all involved for providing significant support in 2008. We also
congratulate Frank Dunster on receiving an ACT Government “Thanks” Award for this work as a
volunteer on numerous Kanga Cups over the years.
More changes are expected for 2009 with the tournament continuing to evolve in order to
accommodate the huge increase in team numbers.

Women’s League Report
Season 2008 saw continued growth in the Women’s League with numbers pushing over 1200 for
the first time. There were 75 teams across 8 divisions (Premier League, State Leagues One to Six
and a Masters). It is expected that further growth will continue next season, particularly because
of the publicity generated by the new Canberra United side in the W-League, leading to an
expected increase in venues used by the women’s league.
The Summer Six-a-side competitions finished at the end of February after a successful season. Fifty
teams took part with all enjoying the social aspects as well as keeping up fitness over summer.
Thanks go to Weston Creek for the use of their equipment to help the sixers competition go
ahead.
The first major competition was the pre-season Federation Cup which saw eight clubs competing
including ACTAS and the CF Academy Astrals. Belwest Foxes won the Grand Final over Belconnen
United on penalties to kick start their successful year. The other four pre-premiership competitions
were won by Belwest (Sarah Briggs Sheild) and Weston Creek (Heather Reid Trophy, Vicky Baxter
Trophy and Julie Murray Shield.
The Premier League was a two team race all year with Belwest and Weston Creek looking
the goods throughout the season. Belwest went on to capture the League Championship
convincingly on the back of strong attacking play, while Weston Creek finished runners-up. These
two teams faced off again in the grand final after overcoming Canberra City (Belwest won 5-0)
and Belconnen United (Weston Creek won 2-0). In a close match and an early goal, Belwest
had done enough to prove their dominance and cap off a memorable year collecting the three
major trophies.
The State League finals at O’Connor proved to be very popular with a great canteen (thanks to
Woden Valley) and it was good to see a lot of supporters braving the mixture of weather. There
was excitement across all divisions with two games going to extra time and some keenly fought
other divisions – indeed the biggest win was by one goal across all divisions!
This year we also had nominations for a new Women’s Standing Committee. A big thank you to
Maria Pavicic, Jada Mackenzie and Cindy Marcina who all contributed to the committee over
the last two years but they did not seek reappointment. Julie Herd, Robyn Kemp and Ransome
Mclean joined the returning members, Linda Uhlmann, Steve Ramsey and Stephanie Isaacson.
Thanks to everyone who has helped through the year and who have contributed useful ideas.
Special thanks to Stephanie Isaacson who has remained as the chair of the WSC and continues to
deliver extra hours and commitment to women’s football.
With the input by the WSC, work has continued on projects focused on referee recruitment and
retention, coaching women’s teams and the transition pathways from under 18 to premier league
- a project that will continue in the near future.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in the Women’s League including other
Capital Football staff, the Board, the competition officers, the players, coaches, managers,
families and supporters. We look forward to seeing you all again in 2009 for what will be another
great season.

Junior League Report
The Junior League welcomed a new sponsor in 2008 with The Village Building Company coming
on board to support our New Age Football (Small Sided Games) and our school development
clinics. Capital Football looks forward to a long and prosperous relationship with the VBC. In
addition, ActewAGL maintained their support as naming rights sponsor for the Junior League
competitive age groups (13 to 18). We appreciate their ongoing commitment to junior sport in
Canberra. We also thank Grant Everson and his staff from Capital Trophies for their continued
support with annual trophies.
Junior registrations fell just short of eclipsing 12,000 players this year with an overall increase of
nearly 2% for a total of 11,929. Female numbers continue to show a healthy increase of over
9% with the boy’s registrations maintaining the same number as last year. The juniors continue
to be supported by a strong band of volunteers who assist in creating a fun environment for all
participants. We were also assisted by a large number of referees who maintain order on the field.
Players FC joined the junior league as a new club and we look forward to their on-going
participation. We have completed the national roll-out of the Small Sided Games with only a few
minor adjustments to the rules remaining. The Junior League Presentation Day ventured to the
new Deakin Football Stadium this year and we thank Canberra FC for the use of their facility. A
great day was had by all with special thanks to Tom Crossley who was MC for the day and to Liz
Deep-Jones who joined us to launch her new book – Lucy Zee Zou’s Goal.
It is with great anticipation that we await the official launch of MyFootballClub – the national
Online Registration program, for season 2009. We will host club meetings and training sessions to
assist clubs with this important achievement which hopefully will alleviate many headaches and
much hard work in future years.
Elections were held for the Junior Standing Committee and we have a substantial increase in
support in the new committee. We would like to acknowledge the following who are continuing
members - Fred Zarb as Chairperson, Gordon Carmichael, Tina Swaker and Mike Smale, and
welcome the new members - Paul Bennett as deputy chair, Davey MacDonald, Nunzio Rinaudo
and Graeme Groves. We look forward to their valuable input over the coming years. I would like
to give my personal thanks to Bruce Pink for his valuable time and assistance in the administration
and management of the Junior League competition tables and draws over many years.
As this will be my last report as Junior League Manager I would like to thank everyone for their
support over the last four seasons. All those volunteers and administrators in “club land”, members
of the Junior Standing Committees, Capital Football Board , CEO Heather Reid and all the staff,
I say a big “thank you” in making my job an enjoyable one. To all junior players and volunteers
within the clubs I wish you all the best.

Men’s League Report
This year has witnessed the continued expansion of our playing numbers (4%) and while this was
a smaller increase than the previous years, it was achieved against the background of the loss of
the RMC Club following the Colleges’ withdrawal from all sporting competitions in 2008.
We now have in excess of 2,500 players participating each weekend across 16 Divisions from
Premier League to Masters Division 3 which highlights the status the sport has now reached within
the ACT region.
The expansion of the League is placing a major strain on access to facilities, particularly in South
Canberra where we are desperate for an additional quality facility for Premier League. Our State
League situation was relieved somewhat by the provision of an additional ground at Chapman
and discussions are continuing on the extension of this facility to two fields in 2009.
The Premier League continued the next step of its evolution with the addition of PL16’s in 2008 and
while this competition was retained within the Junior League management and programming the
competition did provide a valuable elite development path for clubs and a player resource to
support the PL18 squads. The competition in Premier Pathway, PL18’s and PL16’s was enhanced
by the inclusion of ACTAS and the Academy 15 and 14 playing squads into the respective
competitions in place of the bye.
The State League Divisions again provided keen competition and depth with the only
disappointment being the inability to appoint qualified match officials for Divisions 5 and below
on a regular basis. Capital Football conducted free “Laws of the Game” seminars to assist
Club match officials but the limited response to these seminars may necessitate next year, the
introduction of a compulsory attendance by team representatives as part of the team nomination
process.
The men’s top competitions saw separate winners for the three Cups with O’Connor Knights
kicking off the year with a surprise victory in the Federation Cup over perennial finalist, Canberra
FC. The Deakin based club then recovered its composure to dominate the Premier League series
with Canberra FC securing a decisive 12 point winning margin to take the League Championship
for the second year in a row. Unfortunately they lost the 4-1 to a rampant and passionate
Belconnen United in the season ending Grand Final.
The State League finals series was again highly competitive throughout the Divisions with tight
contests and a number of upsets leading to highly successful Grand Finals days held over two
weekends to accommodate the different size competitions.
Congratulations are extended to the League and Grand Final Champions in all Divisions and the
major award winners Paul Gagetti (Woden Valley) Coach of the Year, Robert Schroder (Canberra
Olympic) Player of the Year and Paul Ivanic (Canberra FC) Golden Boot. Canberra FC and
Weston Creek were crowed Club Champions for Premier League and State League respectively.
The Federation Cup again drew a capacity field of 16 teams with the event also enjoying the
continued sponsorship of Project Coordination which provided major prize money for the semi
finalists to play for. Paul Murphy and his team at Project Coordination are to be applauded for
their generous support of this critical and popular pre-season competition.
This year saw a substantial and pleasing improvement in player behaviour following the full
implementation of the FFA disciplinary regulations. The targeted zero tolerance attitude towards
abuse of match officials reaped rewards as the season progressed well. The only blight on the
season was the reported and proven playing of ineligible players in two matches. This regrettably
led to major fines being applied in both cases to the offending Clubs in addition to the normal
penalties. It is hoped this will act a deterrent to all Clubs for the future seasons.

We would like to extend my appreciation to the retiring and newly elected members of the Men’s
Standing Committee - Alan Jackson, Alex Freeman, Mark O’Neill and Laurie Harbon (retiring),
Cristian Torres, Ray White, Charlie Rajak, Nick Tsotsos (elected), while Neil Leech and George
were re-elected. The Committee was faced with a number of issues to address this season and
the quality of their advice did much to enable matters to be resolved in a quick and forthright
manner.
Our appreciation goes to our Men’s League Manager, Ross Jones who retired at the end of
October. His contribution over the last three years has been substantial and his experience will be
greatly missed. We wish Ross all the best in his future endeavours. We look forward to working with
his replacement, Alasdair Grocock who is transferring from the Junior League, continuing the high
standard of administration we have enjoyed over recent years.
May we again extend our thanks to CEO Heather Reid and the Board of Capital Football for their
continued strong support and commitment to the promotion of the sport in the ACT and Capital
region.

Futsal Report
2008 has seen Futsal in the Capital become fully integrated within Capital Football.
As planned, in 2007 Capital Football commissioned a major review into Futsal in the ACT to identify
the most effective and efficient management and operational structures that would enable Futsal to
maximise its potential in the ACT and provide quality services to the sport.
Released in July 2008 , the report highlighted many recommendations - some of which have taken
place and some are still too progress. Part of this process saw the Tuggeranong office closed as the
administration of Futsal was relocated to Football House in Deakin. Acting Futsal General Manager,
Steven McIntyre moved from his GM role to a newly created position within Capital Football. After a
review of the management responsibilities and a staff recruitment process, David Lee was appointed
Futsal League Manager and Nicole Somi was appointed as Futsal Competition Assistant in September.
In keeping with the recommendations a new part-time Futsal technical job was created and
subsequently combined with coach education to make up the Assistant Technical Director position
which Pat McCann now fills. Pat has played a major role in the recruitment of representative coaches
as well as the selection and organisation of ACT teams for Futsal championships.
The 2007-08 local Futsal competitions had 1703 junior players (down -1% from 1722) and an impressive
973 senior players (up 46% from 665). The strength in senior competition was reflected in the success of
ACT competing in the 29th FFA National Futsal Championships early in the year (the 21st time Canberra
has hosted tournament). Congratulations to the Open and Youth men Cobras teams who took out the
national titles.
The first Junior Futsal Premier League took place in summer to provide an additional level of
competition for young Futsal players. This entailed a round of games for U10-12 boys and U12 girls with
two teams each from North Canberra Futsal and South Canberra Futsal. It was deemed a success but
needs to be committed to by all clubs in order for it to be maintained and grow. Thanks must go to
Rivoland Tiles for their support.
After Supercats won the Men’s Premier League and Majestics the women’s in March some reform
occurred for the Futsal Premier League later in September (a month earlier). This allowed the league
to be completed by mid-December so players could peak for Nationals and avoid clashes with other
commitments. We encouraged clubs to enter teams in both men’s and women’s FPL to increase team
responsibility and awareness of Futsal as an option for Football clubs. It was interesting to see that
only one team out of 15 was not affiliated to a Capital Football club and games were played on an
international court to replicate Futsal national standards.
Boomerangs FS was welcomed as a new Futsal club in the Capital Football family with teams in the
women’s Premier League and South Canberra junior competitions.
A highly enjoyable U14-15 tour to Japan took place in June. There are hopes to
return to Japan and especially Nara for their 1600 Anniversary in 2010. Thanks must
go to Barry Jarman and Shinobu ‘Skippy’ Kanazawa for their extensive work on
organising the tour.
The Futsal Standing Committee was re-elected in July with few changes. Headed
by Herwig Reinhart, the FSC has provided a valuable forum for Futsal knowledge
and advice to the Board and management.
I would also like to recognise the efforts over the years provided by the former
Futsal Administrator, Trish Collins and look forward to the progression of Futsal
within the wider Football community.
Congratulations also to the 2008 Futsalroo Reps - Trent Flanigan, Angelo
Konstantinou and Danny Macor (players), Mark Rasmussen (Coach) and Chris
Colley (Referee).

Technical and Development Report
I can look back on the 2008 season as year of education and opportunities for coaches to
improve their skills. These opportunities have been realized by 18 local coaches participating
in the FFA Senior License Course. This course was conducted by instructor Ron Smith who is an
expert analyst in the game and commands an important role with FFA. Ron works with all levels in
the National program and is a former long-time Head Coach at the Australian Institute of Sport.
Coach education at all levels is important and Capital Football has made available courses at
grass roots, junior, youth and senior levels. This year we conducted:
5 grass roots courses with 79 participants
3 Junior Licence courses with 47 participants
1 Youth Licence course with 18 participants
1 Senior Licence course with 15 participants
Our entry into the Asian Football Confederation also aligns us with the AFC Coaching
Accreditation. A number of ACT coaches participated in AFC A, B and C licence courses at the
AIS in order to improve their qualifications and knowledge of coaching.
Coach education continued further with two high quality coaches from the KNVB Dutch
Federation instructing elite and youth level courses. Once again ACT coaches took advantage of
the opportunity to expand their knowledge and learn from international experts. These combined
entailed two different philosophies, Dutch and Asian, being intertwined with the common thread
of the principles of football.
In addition, we convened two coaching seminars. FFA Coach Education manager Kelly Cross
delivered a very comprehensive analysis of the approach taken by Argentina and their defending
style in a world cup, and we were also lucky to have Frank Farina deliver the Tip Top grass
roots coaching course. The importance of coach education cannot be underestimated as it is
important at all levels. With this in mind we expect to double the number of courses we deliver in
2009.
Transition to Premier League
The pathways for young male players were widened and became more transparent with the
introduction of the Under 16 Premier League which has been well received by all clubs.
Capital Football Academy
The growth of the Academy continues with all squads. The benefits of the CFA training program
can be seen at games our squads compete in and our training centre at Kambah is becoming a
more football friendly space.
Youth Representative Football
Representative Football was also very successful this year with all teams performing well in national
youth championships. The Under 15 boy’s team made it through to the final but had to be content
with a very credible third placing for the tournament. Coach John Gibson did a fantastic job and
with his other commitments as a scholarship coach for the AIS he was able to manage his time
very well to steer his Under 15 squad to a successful completion of the 2008 program.
42
Congratulations and thanks to all the Capital Football teams and officials who worked extremely
hard to prepare for the Nationals and as a result gained great experience and understanding of
the requirements of elite football. We can look forward to the introduction of new national junior
championships for boys under 13 and girls 14 next year – all adding to the high performance
pathway for our young players.
Senior Representative Football
Senior representative football was re-introduced with the Senior and Youth Rockets and the
Canberra Spirit women’s squad. The introduction of the Westfield Women’s National League
(W-League) and Canberra United’s participation in the W-League combined with the push for an
A-League team in Canberra gives hope that all players will have the opportunity to play at the
highest level through a local pathway.
In closing, I reiterate my thanks to all coaches, managers and support staff for their dedication
and passion that helps with the growth of our game at all levels. You are an important participant
in helping us get it right.

Referees’ Report
2008 saw 420 referees register with Capital Football compared to 425 in 2007. As with previous
years, a large number of referees did not re-register with 167 of those registered in 2007 not
returning this season. On a positive note 162 referees completed one of the five entry courses
conducted during the year, including 14 who took advantage of the senior entry course which
offered course fee rebates to those who completed more than six matches during the season.
Despite the drop in numbers the coverage of men’s and women’s matches increased from 72%
in 2007 to 78% in 2008 - a fantastic effort by our senior referees considering there were 48 more
matches played in 2008. The McDonald’s Kanga Cup also saw record numbers with 95 local and
51 visiting referees taking part in the tournament.
Perhaps the most important initiative in 2008 was the creation of the Referee Academy for
promising referees between the ages of 16 and 22. Twelve referees took part and refereed in
the Premier League 18s competition including the finals series and grand final. The program also
provided our representatives at the National Championships in Coffs Harbour with Zoe Power
(Girls) and Brock Winkler and Greg Taylor (Boys) attending the championships. The Academy
program also received a boost with sponsorship from Marsh Insurance to help develop the next
crop of Capital Football’s elite referees.
We were represented at National and International levels with Ben Williams (Referee), Chris
Colley (Futsal Referee), Allyson Flynn (Assistant Referee) and Ben Wilson (Assistant Referee) all
receiving FIFA badges again in 2008. Capital Football was also represented on the Hyundai
A-League Referee Panel with Ben Williams and Ben Wilson, National Youth League Panel by Gary
Vandeburgt (referee), Allyson Flynn (assistant) and Brett Woodford (assistant), and the Westfield
W-League Panel by Jenna Hinton (assistant).
In addition, our elite referees received many prestigious appointments and awards such as Ben
Wilson being appointed to the Hyundai A-League Grand Final, Ben Williams’ appointment to the
Asian Champion’s League Quarter Final between Urawa Red Diamonds (Japan) and Al Qadsia
(Kuwait) and Allyson Flynn’s appointment to both the quarter and semi finals at the Women’s
Under 20 World Cup in Chile. Ben Williams was acknowledged for his outstanding efforts by
winning the inaugural Sport Official Award at the ACT Sports Star Awards in October.
New appointments were made for the Referees’ Standing Committee for the next two years.
Capital Football farewelled RSC Chair, Roger Prowse as he returned to Northern NSW and we
welcomed new members John Jenkins, Stephen Lewis and Ross Yarnold.
Thank you to all referee staff and volunteers who helped throughout the season including
State Coach Clive Mackillop, Appointments Officer Richard Brown, Schools and Tournaments

Finance Report
2007-08 has been a notable year for good and not-so-good reasons. It has seen Capital Football
granted ACT government funds to support the installation of lights and an artificial surface at
Hawker enclosed football ground as well as record player registrations and revenues. We also
supported the A-League for Canberra bid with a one-off donation to help get things started for
entry to the A-League in 2011.
On the other hand, we have seen some of our sponsors reduce their support largely due to
difficult trading conditions and this has had an impact on our overall operating result. In addition,
the final integration of Futsal and its related financials has led to some teething problems with
budgets and projected income. The Futsal management restructure combined with the office
relocation from Tuggeranong to Deakin have contributed to the poor financial performance in
this area of our business. All of these issues have culminated in a $76,489 operating loss.
The installation of the lights and artificial surface at Hawker enclosed is an exciting project which
will result in an all-weather surface that can also be used at night for games and training. It will
add a fantastic football pitch and warm-up area, as well as four outdoor Futsal pitches which will
support the continued growth of Futsal. The project will need to be monitored closely to ensure
it comes in on budget and the engagement of a venue manager should ensure we maximise
the amount of use and revenue for the new facility. Despite the generous grant from the ACT
Government, Capital Football will need to make contributions towards the project. The Board is
confident that the new artificial surface will be a great asset to the football facilities in the ACT
and region.
The budgets for 2008-09 have been tightened and I’m confident that we can achieve a surplus
in the next financial year. I wish to thank the other Directors and President of Capital Football,
John Logue for the continued support and diligence they display with their fiduciary and other
governance responsibilities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2008
1.
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with
Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of
the Australian Accounting Standards Board.
The financial report covers the ACT Football Federation Incorporated (“the Federation”) as an individual
entity. The Federation is an association incorporated in the Australian Capital Territory under the
Associations Incorporation Act (ACT) 1991.
The financial report of the Federation as an individual entity complies with all Australian equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in their entirety.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Federation in the
preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless
otherwise stated.
Basis of Preparation
The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented.
Reporting Basis and Conventions
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by
the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value
basis of accounting has been applied.
Accounting Policies
(a)
Separate Committees - Reporting
The Federation comprises separate committees, which administer the various segments of soccer in
the ACT. The results of each committee of the Federation are reported upon separately, however
the overall results are consolidated. The Statement of Financial Position represents assets and
liabilities of the Federation, although they may relate to a committee within the Federation.
57
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2008

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
(b)
Income Tax
The Federation is exempt from income tax pursuant to Section 50-45 of the Income Tax Assessment
Act 1997.
(c)
Inventories
Inventories consist of soccer equipment and promotional materials which are measured at the lower
of cost and net realisable value.
(d)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
(e)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment are carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable,
any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in
excess of the recoverable amount from those assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis
of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent
disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to present values in determining
recoverable amounts.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to
the association and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance
are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over the useful lives of
the assets to the Federation commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are:
Class of Fixed Asset
Office equipment
Equipment and fittings
Property
Motor vehicles
Depreciation Rate
20-33%
20-33%
1%
20%
(f)
Leases
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the
lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
(g)
Financial Instruments
Recognition
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value on trade date, which includes transaction
costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these
instruments are measure as set out below.
Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that
are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method.
58
Trade receivables are generally due on 30 day terms. A provision for impairment is recognised where
there is evidence that an individual trade receivable is impaired.
Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less
principal payments and amortisation. Trade payables are generally due on 30 day terms.
(h)
Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Federation’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by
employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have
been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs.
Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the
estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.
Contributions are made by the Federation to a defined contribution employee superannuation fund
and are charged as expenses when incurred.
(i)
Revenue
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable
to the financial assets.
Grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received
and all conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items are recognised as income over the
periods necessary to match the grant to the costs they are compensating. Grants related to assets
are credited to deferred income at fair value and are credited to income over the expected useful
life of the asset on a straight-line basis.
Revenue from the provision of membership subscriptions is recognised on a straight line basis over the
financial year.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(j)
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount
of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST
is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.
Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component
of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(k)
Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to
changes in presentation for the current financial year.
(l)
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based
on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable
expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both
externally and within the Federation.
Key Estimates — Impairment
The Federation assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the
entity that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable
amount of the asset is determined.
Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key
estimates.
Key Judgements — Provision for doubtful debts
The Federation believes that $1,000 of the full amount of all debt is not recoverable; therefore the
Federation made a provision for doubtful debts of receivables as at 31 October 2008 equivalent to
this amount.

The independent valuation in 2006 was carried out as at 31 October 2006 by CB Richard Ellis Valuation and
Advisory Services, CBRE, and is on the basis of the open market value of the property concerned in its existing use. The
Directors are of the opinion that this basis provides a reasonable estimate of recoverable amount.
