The Biggest Year in Kavanagh College Football History

 Kavanagh College Football

"He Ngakau Nui - With Pride" 


The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves  -Vince Lombardi


Prepare for the biggest year in KCFootball history that you can be a part of!
Getting the 2014 Season of History started! Kavanagh FC

2014 will be incredible. It will be the 25th Anniversary of Kavanagh College in Dunedin and that on it's own is awesome. The joining of three schools create by the will and desire of a visionary community.

In 2014 we will aim for the National Secondary Schools Football Tournament. It is also the year we look to set a new culture for football at Kavanagh where the expectations are higher, the focus and goals of players and teams is lofty. We want the first team to be THE GAME of the   week for your friends to come and support, to cheer, scream shout and get involved.

Don't be fooled and do not expect it to be easy. This is a challenge for those willing to 
make a difference, leave a legacy, and begin something great and it starts now!

The first meeting of a organising group was held tonight (10/07/13) as the first of many as we plan for 2014. 

So what does all this mean?

  • We plan to enter the National Secondary Schools Football Competition for the first time ever.
  • This goal will be revealed next year Feb 10 2014
  • A new kit with names and numbers on
  • Three preseason training camps
  • New expectations for commitment, training, playing and learning this game we love
  • Building a culture of encouragement, involvement of the Kavanagh community
  • Placing football as the most fun sport to watch and be a part of
  • New roles for supporters and fans including video, statistics, photography, article writing, TV items and editing
  • Team building
  • Game analysis 
  • Yes I had hair, 1998 National League vs North Shore
  • Weekly school competitions and more...
Is the mountain big? You bet.
Does it look impossible from here? Many might see it that way.
Are we dreaming and need to get real? Laugh all you want.

If it wasn't a challenge it wouldn't be worth pursuing, if it was easy who could be bothered, and if the reward was not great who would follow?

2014 is going to be the greatest year in Kavanagh College Football history and everyone can play a part. Keep watch, get on board - Believe!
