ISPS HANDA MEN’S PREMIERSHIP | 2020/21 SEASON 1 2 TEAM FOOTBALL CLUB | www.twfc.co.nz TEAM WELLINGTON FC Team Wellington Soccer Inc. PO BOX 15-119 Miramar, Wellington CHAIRMAN Peter Chote BOARD OF DIRECTORS CHAIRMAN’S Andrew Wilson Graham Watson Dave Wilson Jamie Farrington COMMENTS GENERAL MANAGER Peter Becker A satisfactory start to the season so far, despite the feeling M: 027 448 8428 that we have not yet hit our straps. This is my assessment of E: [email protected] Scott’s view of the opening three weeks. ADMINISTRATOR Rosie Telford Today we will need to up the ante, so to speak, as we welcome E: [email protected] Jose and his charges back to David Farrington Park. These two squads know each other very well and match up against each other STAFF in an intriguing manner. Similar styles and philosophies will be on Head Coach display and there is seldom much to separate us. I am expecting a Scott Hales very closely fought encounter. Assistant Coach Last time at David Farrington I thought the ground condition was a Stu Widdowson little bit wanting and I hope the last two weeks of rest have allowed GK / Assistant Coach the WCC to do their thing and the players can feel confident and Steve Dimakis demonstrate their high level skills in order to entertain what I also hope, will be a good Wellington crowd. Just one point separates us Sports Scientist in the top four at present and I’m looking for this to be four at the James Mac Aodhagain end of today. Team Manager A very warm welcome to Jose, Ivan and the ISPS Handa Men’s Brendan Marsh Premiership’s benchmark franchise. All of those currently Technical Analyst participating aspire to your achievements. We need these targets Sam Smith and with the help of an enthusiastic David Farrington crowd I’m picking we can hit the target. Physiotherapist Corey Glover – TBI Health Enjoy the game.
