Peter said of the role:
“I know I have only been with SHOC for less than 12 months but I can honestly say I love the club, people and the SHOC community. I feel it is my club and don’t intend to walk away but merely step back and support others that can fully commit to the time frame in leading the club. I certainly owe a lot of people who assisted and supported me in season 2013.”
We are pleased that the Marling and Caven team will continue in 2014 as we resume our efforts to build on the success that started in 2013. Season 2014 starts on Sunday November 10 with a BBQ and drinks at a venue to be confirmed.

Adam Marling & Peter Caven Form Winning Team For 2014
The SHOCFC Management Committee today announced that Peter Caven has been appointed SHOCFC’s first Director of Coaching and that Adam Marling will step up into the role of A Grade Coach.
Adam “Spud” Marling has been an Assistant A Grade Coach in 2011 and 2013 and has coached the Reserves for 3 years. He is a former A grade player, keen student of football tactics, a good people person and is of course a dedicated Club man. He ran a very “close second” to Peter last year when Peter was appointed and with a year’s further experience under Peter will do a great job as A Grade Coach.
While this decision will mean a reduction in the day-to-day commitment to the Club from Peter, his involvement with the Club and the A grade side will remain significant. The reduction in commitment has been forced upon Peter by a change of circumstances in his work. Notwithstanding the work commitments, Peter will be side by side with Adam at all games and as many training sessions as possible. Importantly in the newly created role he will remain deeply involved in the off-season recruiting campaign and will mentor all the coaches, in itself an exciting new innovation for the SHOCFC.
