CAPITAL 1

Foreward from the Coach -  Johnny Gerondis

​​​​​​​Firstly, thank you to the Club for giving me the opportunity to join the coaching team as player/coach of Cap 1, and congratulations to Kerryn Friday for his achievements last season. 2022 was a great year for Olympic with back-to-back Central League titles, top 4 finish to our Cap Prem side, a title win for Cap 1 and a National Championship for our U19’s. It’s now time to go again and Friday night home game football is back on the freshly laid Wakefield turf.  

I’m looking forward to the new challenge as we work to go back-to-back in Cap 1! We’ve retained most of the squad from 2022 and are thrilled to add Raffaele De Gregorio, Jamie Molea, Paul Kothroulas, Chas Lawrence and Jonty Bilderbeck into the mix. There is great wealth of experience in this group which is going to be beneficial for the development of our youngsters, who I’m keen to see progress into our Capital Premier and Central League squad.

It’s amazing to be back home. I can’t wait to see the bank at full noise and being part of that noise for Taylor and the Cap Prem side, and the Central League Squad, masterfully led by Rupert - who I wish all the best on the 3-peat.

Ole, Ole, Olympic!
