Match report for Friday 3 –4-15

We played Mt Albert Ponsonby at home, the result was Manurewa 0-4 Mt Albert Ponsonby.

The Manurewa team tried hard, but we were well beat by a team that were quicker to the ball and were sharp with their passing and good movement and running off the ball.

Match report for Monday 6-4-15

This was another home game for Manurewa teams again, the score was Manurewa 0-3 Hibiscus Coast.

This game was the reserves best effort of the season so far, we had 3 lapses of concentration, and we were punished with 3 goals scored against us, with the last being scored with 10 minutes to play. Upto that moment, Manurewa were very much in the game by creating a number of goal scoring chances throughout the game and also keeping the playing shape of the team.

The reserves must work on their passing skills and keeping the ball more.

Cheers Gordon

First Team Coaches Comments

Hi all,

Hope you all had a good Easter weekend and the accompanying short working weeks it affords us.

Today we welcome Ellerslie who have always been a tough team to play against and we don't expect that to change today. We also welcome back Michael Manickum, whose brothers Marlon & Tito we hope are able to make a cameo.

The first 3 games of the season have seen us improve week on week. As a young team, constant development and gained confidence is vital to getting us results this season as well as future seasons.

The few old heads we have in the squad have certainly stepped up and provided guidance for our younger players, and as long as they can stay on the park, it will continue to benefit our team.

We now look to continue that improvement today.

See you all after the game.

Youth Report

We have not much to report since the last programme as our season has not yet started.

We still have a couple of spaces to fill in the 13th grade so again if you know of anyone wanting to play with a year of birth 2002, please email [email protected] and we will sort registration.

There are still some fees outstanding. Any fees not paid in full by end of April will prevent your child from playing in the first game of the season on 2 May. Please get these paid to prevent disappointment.

Our Under 17 Metro team participated in the ACFC U17 Tournament at Seddon Fields at the end of March. The team did extremely well finishing a credible 8th place overall. We wish the team well for the upcoming season—keep up the good work boys.

Best of luck to all senior teams today as they begin their season.
