ON BEHALF OF SAMUEL FRENCH LTD.
ABOVE: NICK SHEARER (YEAR 12) AND HIS COUSIN SAM SHEARER (’10)
Cousins together in soccer
Cousins Sam (’10) and Nick Shearer (Year 12)
have enjoyed the experience of playing together
this season in the Old Scotch Soccer Club’s senior
team. For both Sam and Nick, rewards have come
their way in their developing soccer careers.
Sam is OSSC Captain, and last year took out
the best and fairest award in Football Federation
of Victoria’s Men’s State League 2 South-East
division, just the second time in the soccer club’s
35-year history that one of its players has won
the competition’s best and fairest award. (The
previous winner was Andy Probyn (‘88), who is
now well known to ABCTV viewers as political
correspondent for current affairs program, 7.30.)
Sam is a midfielder with OSSC, and also
co-coaches the club’s inaugural junior team,
the Miniroos. Sam also plays for the Old Scotch
Cricket Club, where he is Club Vice Captain.
Nick is Captain of Soccer at Scotch, and is a
school Prefect. He has been a member of the 1st
XI Soccer team since Year 10, and was runner-up
best and fairest the last two seasons. He was also
selected in the APS representative soccer team
this year. Earlier, he represented Victoria in soccer
at under 13 and under 14 levels, and he also
played futsal for Victoria as an under 11 and under
12 boy.
Sam says it has been fun playing soccer with
his cousin. ‘Nick has adapted well to senior football
and has put in some very solid performances so
far,’ he told Great Scot. ‘There is no doubt that the
passion and talent for the round ball didn’t come
from his immediate family, so I’m definitely going to
claim the credit.’
‘Although starting to make me feel old, it has
brought back some great memories of my time
as a 17 year old, playing games for the school
in the morning and the senior OSSC team in the
afternoon. In that year of doubling up, we managed
to get the club promoted to the State Leagues and
those are my best footballing memories.
‘I have made lifelong friends from those times
and remember fondly how well Jonny Beamish
and I were accepted by the older boys. Hopefully
Nick continues to enjoy himself and can one day
look back fondly at similar successes with our
great club.’
Chess is a musical regarded as the most
popular fictional portrayal of chess ever created.
Inspired by the political Cold War machinations
shadowing the 1972 World Chess Championship
between Bobby Fischer of the United States
and defending champion Boris Spassky of the
Soviet Union, Chess is the story of a love triangle
between two grandmasters - one American, one
Russian - and a woman who serves as a manager
to one of the players but falls in love with the other.
With lyrics by Tim Rice, long-time collaborator
with Andrew Lloyd Webber, Elton John and others
[Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, Aladdin, The Lion
King] and with music by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny
Andersson, of ABBA fame, this is a fabulous
music-rich theatre experience.
