FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL: 1 COACH’S COMMENT DANNY HALLIGAN I FIRST TEAM HEAD COACH For the second time in a fortnight we welcome Ekow and his Coastal Spirit team to The Christchurch Football Centre. The last game we played was a cliff hanger that we managed to come out on top of and progress to the last 16 of the Chatham Cup. Tonight’s game is the last round of the MPL and even though both teams have qualified comfortably for the Southern League I am sure we both have our sights set on finishing in second position. Last week was a real slog for the boys out at Halswell Domain but we showed that we have matured as a team by adapting to the conditions and doing what was required to get the points. Tonight we are back at our home ground where we are looking to maintain our undefeated record. Finally I want to extend a warm welcome to our latest signing, Joe Hoole who joined us this week and will take his place in tonight’s matchday squad. Enjoy the game and Go The Rams Danny Halligan Christchurch United Head Coach 2 OFFICIAL MATCH DAY PROGRAMME | CHRISTCHURCH UNITED FC | 2021 NEW WORLD PREMIERSHIP NEW WORLD PREMIERSHIP LEAGUE REVIEW MAINLAND PREMIERSHIP TABLE P W D L GF GA GD PTS CASHMERE teCHNICAL 13 11 2 0 42 10 32 35 COASTAL SPIRIT 13 8 1 4 25 18 7 25 CHRISTCHURCH UNITED 13 7 3 3 40 21 19 24 NELSON SUBURBS 13 5 3 5 26 23 3 18 NOMADS UNITED 13 6 0 7 27 27 0 18 SELWYN UNITED 13 4 3 6 24 27 -3 15 FERRYMEAD BAYS 13 4 2 7 17 29 -12 14 HALSWELL UNITED 13 0 0 13 10 56 -46 0 ROUND THIRTEEN RESULTS COASTAL SPIRIT 1 - 4 SELWYN UNITeD NELSON SUBURBS 3 - 3 FERRYMEAD BAYS NOMADS UNITED 0 - 3 CASHMERE TECHNICAL HALSWELL UNITED 1 - 3 CHRISTCHURCH UNITED FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL: 3 4 OFFICIAL MATCH DAY PROGRAMME | CHRISTCHURCH UNITED FC | 2021 NEW WORLD PREMIERSHIP PREMIERSHIP PREVIEW ROUND TWELVE HOME FIXTURE vs FRI 2 JUL, 7.30PM CHRISTCHURCH FOOTBALL CENTRE, YALDHURST FOLLOW LIVE ON TWITTER @CUFC1970 REST OF LEAGUE FIXTURES vs vs vs SAT 3 JUL, 11.30PM SAT 3 JUL, 2.45PM SAT 3 JUL, 2.45PM GARRICK MEMORIAL FOSTER PARK FERRYMEAD PARK FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL: 5 +++++++ +++++ +++ PLAYER PROFILE #7#1 EDDIEMICHAEL ASHTON WHITE PLAYER DETAILS QUICKFIRE FAVOURITES DateNickname of Birth: Pro Team: Hobbies:Book: 27.08.1994Whitey (Age 26) ArsenalManchester United CookingHarry Potter and Series watching sport DateNationality: of Birth / Age: Player: Music Genre: 17/12/1999Kiwi (21 Years) BukayoTer Stegen Saka & Iker Casillas RapEDM Nationality:Previous Clubs: Food: Pre-Game Song: KiwiFC, Coastal, Cashmere Tech PizzaCarbonara EminemCan’t Be - StoppedLose Yourself (Roy Jones Jr.) Right / Left Footed: Travel Destination: Previous Clubs: Favourite Quote: Both GreeceMaldives Halswell United, N/A“I can see now that the circum- HonourFerrymead / Trophies: Bays Movie / TV Series: stances of ones birth are irrele- vevant.
