The new fields and freshly painted clubrooms are a symbol of the health of the club which this year has exceeded 900 playing members and is currently sitting atop the NRFL premier league standings after a 5-3 win away to Onehunga Sports. Today we welcome Manurewa AFC players, coaches and supporters to Shepherds Park. We have enjoyed some great battles over the years and I am sure that today will be no exception. A huge thanks to the management committee and team of volunteers who give so much of themselves to the club to make it successful. A further thanks to the support of our sponsors and members of the Kaipatiki Local Board who have invested in new playing surfaces and lights for the lower fields. I look forward to seeing you in the clubrooms for a debrief over a bite to eat and something to wash it down.

Birko’s nemisis from 2011 in both the league and Chatham Cup, good luck today in what hopefully entertains the loyal supporters from both clubs. First, Birko sees the return of a number of 2012’s Div 1 winning squad with the addition of both youth and experience. A big thank you must go out to those loyal ‘red army’ supporters who have travelled with us to our first three away games! This support has helped the boys come back with 7 points on the road and the opportunity to show their stuff on this brand spanking new Shepherds #1 pitch, whose work has been in progress since prior to Christmas. Great to be at “the home of football” for the first time in 2013. The Road So Far ... 6-04-13 - vs Three Kings at Seymour Park, Pah Road. This was a physically tough game that saw the teams hit the shed at 0-0. The second stanza bought joy to the home-side first with Birko playing well and perserverance to score the equaliser in the 87’ from the head of Sam Jasper. great start to the season. 13-04-13 - vs East Coast Bays at Bay City Park. The only local derby that we face in this league. Birko went to the break with a 0-1 lead thanks to a Jack Hobo penalty. Bays came back to equalise until the exerienced returning Stuart Hogg got a head to a corner in added time for the winner! 20-04-13 - vs Onehunga Sports at Waikaraka Park. On the first winter day of the season, Birko had a 1-2 half-time lead with goals from Bill Tuiloma and Sam Jasper. The second 45’ or 50’ saw another 5 goals, 3 to Birko through Sam Jenkins, Godwin Darkwa and a Jack Hobo penalty. Another good result away from home! With still a long season ahead this start does need to be built on with consistency, that club support can only encourage! Thank you to Dave and his Committee/team fo their efforts. Heather, Nicky and Guppy for their work with the programme. Bill and Tracy behind the bar, Jimmy and Gareth and crew for the refurb. This all adds to the ambience and aura the club offers to all members. Enjoy today and catch up wth some banter in the bar after the game.

Fielding a strong side the boys got off to a strong start and after 15 minutes were dominating possession. Three King’s defence was being propped up by their keeper who pulled off some excellent saves early on to deny us a goal. However the continued pressure eventually paid off when one of their defenders handballed inside the penalty area. Whilst the referee did not spot the offence, our linesman did - 1 nil! Rodrigo slotted home from the spot. Unfortunately ten minutes later on, one of Three King’s rare forays into our half resulted in another penalty. A wayward cross to no-one in particular caught Mauri on the arm and the equaliser was well taken. Rodrigo had the chance to increase our lead just before half-time from the penalty spot after a foul in the box but blasted the ball over the top. The story of our day! The second half saw us pile on more and more pressure with nothing to show for it. Their goalkeeper continued to throw himself around like an acrobat and many clear cut opportunities sailed high and wide - 22 shots on goal throughout the game. One all the final score. Given this was the first game we were happy with the point and the way that we performed. There were stand out performances from Jono, Rodrigo, Ash; Drew who was named man of the match. East Coast Bays V Birkenhead Reserves Bay City Park 13/04/2013 This game was an early chance in the season to test ourselves given the Bay’s reputation. Overheard comments from their dressing room suggested that they had a low opinion of our squad. Five minutes into the game they probably felt justified in their thoughts as a through ball from their midfield ended up in our net. However, that was to be the last time that they contested the game. To their credit our boys rallied strongly and picked up from the previous week. The back four led by the more seasoned heads of Mauri and Ash kept control and Jono, Rodrigo and Paul ran their legs off in the midfield. This allowed Harry BR to show his talent moving the ball quickly and accurately, making the opposition chase shadows. Possession and dominance eventually paid off and a clumsy challenge in the box resulted in a penalty. Rodrigo’s previous week’s miss meant that Harry was on penalty duty and he duly slotted home; 1 – 1! The goal served to spur us on and 15 minutes later a pinpoint accurate pass out of midfield found Paul Park as he broke through the defence to slot home what was to be the winning goal. Just rewards for a lot of running and hard work. The second half was a repeat of the first and we continued to pile on pressure without breaking the net. The best final effort was from Paul Park again. Having received the ball on the edge of the box his subsequent goal bound shot was tipped over the bar by another athletic keeper. First win and away from home against an overly confident opposition - a good feeling! 8 www.birkenheadunited.org.nz Stand out performances from Jono, Harry BR, Jack Caunter and Drew. Harry was the well deserved player of the day. Onehunga Sports V Birkenhead Reserves Waikaraka Park 20/04/2013 Despite a good week of training in preparation for this game the team never really got started.

  • MATCH DAY PROGRAM 19 August 2017
    MATCH DAY PROGRAM 19th August 2017 Photo courtesy of AT Photo UPPER HUTT CITY VS WELLINGTON UNITED MAIDSTONE PARK - KO 1:00 PM A message from Gibby . We’ve managed 3 games in 11 days which has been a tough ask for this end of the season, but what an 11 days! First up we had PNM in the Knockout Cup Quarter Final. Leading up to this game we’d won a game apiece, and drawn 1-1 so it was always going to be a tight game. These games are always tough physical battles and this was no exception. Both teams were throwing everything they had into it, which was reflected in the half time score of 0-0. The second 45 was just as tough as the first, and we managed to get on the score sheet when PNM gave the ball away in their defensive third and Lena de Ronde capitalised by driving a cross into the 6 yard box and Emma Main nipped in front of her defender to tuck the ball away. 1-0. PNM are the sort of team that never gives up, and they struck back after a ball over the top was picked up by their striker and they slotted the ball into the far post tying the game up 1-1. Cup matches need a result, and so into extra time we went. Both teams were showing the effects of a long hard tussle, but through sheer grit and determination we pushed forward, and sent a cross into the box for Lena de Ronde to pop up at the far post driving the ball into the net to take us 2-1 up.
