Without wanting to put the mockers on the reserves this week, hopefully we have our season back up and running. We first started with a 2 all draw against second placed Takapuna a couple of weeks ago and after being 2 nil down after 6 minutes, the boys showed great spirit to fight back and draw the game 2 all and had opportunities to win it towards the end. I knew the boys had these qualities in them but too often haven't seen it. Last week saw us play Ngaruawahia in the Knock Out Plate and I’m not sure what happened here but we smashed them 8- 0. It was a pleasing performance especially against a premier reserve side but I think there may have been something amiss. Mind you, we scored some quality goals and our finishing was the most pleasing aspect of that performance. Today is going to be a tough match as Ellerslie sit on top of the league but we have shown in patches throughout the season that we can knock these sides over and will be trying to make sure that we have succeeded in doing this by the time the full time whistle goes.

Today we host Ellerslie who have been performing well lately and seen them climb up the table, sitting as high as second. This league is very competitive and picking up a string of results will see your league position change rapidly which is what we are looking to do in the second half of this season, to get us out of the position we find ourselves in. However much we believe in our squad and the glimpses of good performances we have put in, the table doesn’t lie and we can’t continue to rely on belief if we want to push up the table. It will take the boys putting in some hard work for themselves, their teammates and the supporters to earn results and get the season back on track. With a week off to rest and reflect, we are expecting the boys to come back 100% fit and hungry to get on with the job.

The grading round had the team competing against a varied quality group of opponents. In most matches, the U19s have been competitive but only in patches. Attitude and applica- tion (both in training and matches) have been key areas which at times, have let the side down. The team has now begun the championship round and this gives all players a chance to work on consistency of performance, for the full 90 minutes. From here, the team can hopefully build some momentum leading up to the Napier U19 tournament . A big thank you to Bhu, the club and to our match day spectators for their support of this year’s U19 side. Spot Quiz-Which player when asked to take the field and run the game said he would more than likely jog the game? Prize-Trip to World Cup final all expenses paid. (T and Cs: Have to have played in WC and be currently at Manurewa.) Best of luck to all Manurewa teams for second half of season. Buzzer Mackay Coach Div 4 Hello everyone Wayne Jensen here, manager of the Manurewa AFC Div 4 side. The motley lot in this team consist of players past and present brought together by a coach from previous times also. They span the ages too from their goalkeeper ( the youngest at 19 back after two years ) to their strikers ( in their late twenties back after eight years ).
