I missed last weeks game with a trip to watch the Warriors. Long drive. Should have made the trip North as I was informed it was a great game and to come away with a win shows we can put it together.
This week we welcome Mt Albert Ponsonby to Memorial Park both first and reserves. Again I expect two great gamed from our top sides as we have had in the past seasons.
This week sees all our senior sides at home. Full house. I'm looking forward to it. Please bear with us if things get a bit tight. I wish it was like this each weekend.

A WORD FROM THE CLUB MANAGER
Afternoon to all,
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to all those who have come down today. Manurewa AFC have recently appointed myself in the role of Club Manager where I will oversee the general management of both the on-field action and off-field administration. Firstly thank you to those who have offered me this opportunity to lead the club into the future and I hope we can work together to improve this great club we have.
Thank you to all the volunteer coaches, managers, parents, club officials, the tireless work of those on the various committees, and to the players and fans, you are the heart of this club and I hope you enjoy every suc- cess this season. I look forward to meeting you all and invite you to come upstairs for a drink and a chat after any of our First Team games.
Good luck to the Div. 6 boys, the old fellas in the O35's, Martinez and the Ressies, and Nath's 1st team squad. To all the juniors and youth I hope you enjoyed a successful morning.
Supporters you guys are awesome! Thank you all for coming down to cheer on our teams we appreciate it all and hopefully you are repaid with goals and points!
Cheers to all,
Kieran Nevey Club Manager
Reserve Coaches Comments
Welcome to the First team and reserves from MAP today. I'm sure with where both teams are sitting on the table, we will be in for two tough battles on the pitch.
Today we are looking to build on our performance against Hibiscus coast last weekend. I thought the character and attitude was great with the squad, however, 2 defensive lapses combined with little creativity up front cost us a result. This week we have worked on both areas so am hoping the improvements are shown on the field.
Good luck to our first team today - let's hope we can sweep the 6 points available. Cheers
Cheers Marty

Today we welcome Mt Albert to Memorial Park.
What a difference a year makes. At this point in the 2015 season, and the last few seasons if we’re being honest, both Mt Albert and Manurewa have battled hard to stay clear of the relegation zone. After numerous personnel changes to both squads in the off-season, the fortunes of both teams have significantly altered as we are now battling to make our mark in this league and potentially a higher league next season.
This year has been different to the rest, with surprising results each week and no one being able to guarantee taking all 3 points and after almost 1 round gone, there are 8 points separating 2nd and 11th. It makes for an exciting spectacle for the neutral, and an equally trying one for the coaching staff.
Today we also welcome back ex Manurewa youth player and fan favourite Dylan Teat. After some aggressive courting, and subsequently beating off of all other teams for his early-season signature, Mt Albert have got themselves a great prospect for the future. I’m sure he is earning a similar reputation for himself at Mt Albert as he did at Manurewa and I know the Rewa supporters will be keen to give him a rousing reception.
With Mt Albert coming off a string of results, and our own performance last weekend, today sets itself up to be a quality game of football. Let’s enjoy.

Welcome all
Well done to Nathan and the lads for master minding yet another victory, we played HBC it was a great game to watch we were on top of them for the full 90, goals from Steven Carmichael and Niki sealed our victory and the much needed 3 points to put us 4th on the table but a great team effort form the defence to the attack.
Reserves are 6th on the table after the loss to HBC but they played well it didn’t help Daniel Thomas came of injured in the 18th minute with Adam white coming on to bring some speed to the team up front .Player of the day Anmol Shankar headed Manurewa in front but only to conceded 2 sloppy goals to end the match 1-2.
Div. 6 lost in the weekend but injure to team Manager/coach/ goalkeeper didn’t help with Ryan doing some tendon damage to his hand while trying to pull off a save, we wish him on a speedy recovery
The legends (O35) had a draw over the weekend am sure they will be hoping for 3 points today to bring them up the table from where they currently sit.
Good Luck to Nate and the boys!!!

Youth Report Welcome to another weekend here at Memorial Park.
Today sees the end to the grading rounds for most of our youth teams. During the upcoming week, some teams will be moved with their grades depending on how they finished after grading. We wish you all good luck with the competition rounds.
Our 14th grade SAE team are currently sitting in second place in the Metro league. They are on the same points as first placed North Shore, the only thing separating them is the goal difference. Tomorrow they take on Oratia at Parrs Park.
The 15th grade SAE team are in fourth place in the Conference league. They are at home tomorrow to Eastern Suburbs at 1pm. Come on down and show your support.
The competition begun last weekend for our only girls team. Grading rounds were tough for them as they were grouped with Division 1 teams. They are competing in 15th Grade Division 2. They notched up their first win of the season last weekend against Ellerslie—well done girls and good luck for the rest of the competition.
This afternoon is our monthly Youth Player of the Day presentations. Please make you way into the clubrooms and register at the table.
Good luck to all Rewa teams today.
Laurette Hummels Youth Chairperson
DATE TO REMEMBER: TEAM PHOTOS 27TH, 28TH & 29 JUNE
House-keeping, I know it’s not the most exciting subject but it is important not just for the club but for the health and safety of the sport.
SHINPADS - MUST be worn for all Games and for training. If your player is not wearing shin pads they CANNOT PLAY and Coaches/Parents need to enforce this. We don’t insist be- cause they are a fun fashion accessory but because it is in the NZ Football regulations. Injuries can happen and a broken shin is not a fun thing.
TEAM PLAYING UNIFORM – please ensure that players do not wear the Saturday playing uni- form for trainings as this will speed up wear and tear. Keep it for Saturday only.
FIELD SET UP / PACK UP - Regardless of whether you are first team on or last off please ar- rive on time and early enough to have your team talk, get set up and ready, arriving at the time the whistle blows for kick off is not acceptable.
Goals - it is critical for teams to ensure that if they are first to play on the field, to arrive early enough to set up the field, and if the teams is the last to play, that the goals are put away. I speak from experience here as last Saturday I watched ONE mother and her three young children strug- gle to bring a goal back while other parents walked off. This is a shared responsibility of the team please ensure you all helping out.
Goal Keepers if you are in grades 4 - 7th you DO NOT NEED GOAL KEEPERS so please do not train with keepers as this can be confusing on Saturdays and send a mixed message with some kids guarding the goal. The idea of small whites is to keep the flow of the game.
Supporters – please remember that you are not allowed to stand along the goal line but must stay on the side lines to watch, and be positive with your comments.
I know it seems like a bit of a growly message but its little things like being aware that we are all one team that helps the team/grade/club run smoothly.
On another note, I have noticed some teams using the Facebook app to showcase team photos etc. We would love to see more of these. We want to celebrate game day so please all share your photos.
