Matamata Swifts v Papatoetoe AFC NRFL Division 1A Saturday July 24, 2010 Matamata Domain, Matamata Kick-off 2.45pm A Few Kind Words

Welcome back to the Domain for today’s fi xture against Papatoetoe. We’re starting to get used to the idea of playing new clubs just about every week and today is no exception. We know bugger all about today’s visitors and 2010 I’m sure they know pretty much the same about us. I guess that means that this match will unfold totally on its Management own merits and not be infl uenced by any pre-conceived Committee ideas. That will, at least, be good for the fans. It would be fair to say that our primary goal for the Patron season has been achieved - that being to make the top Jack Poole six of NRFL Division 1. That is quite an achievement for a club that hasn’t been in any Northern League competition President since 1998. As it stands, however, we can’t drift into the Dwayne Barlow end of the season thinking our job is done. The cut-throat Vice-Presidents nature of the new NRFL Division 1A that we now fi nd Peter Challis ourselves in means our next six games are all cup fi nals Malcolm Raynel (sorry, tired football cliche there). Our aim now has to be to make the top six of this division, which will mean Treasurer avoiding the relegation play-offs. I’m guessing everyone Dave Mann else will have that on their minds too, so it won’t be easy. Secretary Division 1A brings with it a trip to Whangarei. There Mike Collins wouldn’t be too many people in Matamata aware of the travel involved with being in the NRFL, let alone the Club Captain prospect of the journey we have in front of us in the Chris Bedford fi rst weekend of August. So please spread the word. Let Junior your mates know that the level of football we’re playing Co-ordinator at is far superior to, and brings with it a greater level of Kim Hancock commitment, than the local competitions in which the other big Matamata sports clubs compete. Committee One fi nal thing. We’ll be holding our Annual Quiz Night Julie Clothier at the club next Saturday, after the Manurewa game. The Nigel Hatfi eld fi rst question will be asked at about 6pm. I’ll see you all there. Groundsman Jack Poole Dwayne Barlow
