The power of football!

Nelson Bays Football and are proud to announce a partnership that could change the whole football environment in the Top of the South Island.

NBF has been approved as a community partner and benefactor of NextGen Energy, a new and unique Electricity supply company who are operating on a “not for profit” basis in our region. Check them out at http://nextgen.energy

What do you have to do? - It’s simple… just sign up as a NextGen customer and enjoy lower power costs for your household or business (with no price increases guaranteed for 3 years).

What does Football get? - NextGen will establish a fund from profits which will benefit charitable and not for profit organisations, and NBF will be able to apply for a grant from them to subsidise costs of football in the region. - A royalty in relation to every single account will be paid to NBF.

Having worked with the company already, we know it saves you money! And we encourage all those who want the sport to grow and provide further opportunities for our younger players to sign across their electricity supply to NextGen. Either switch online at the NextGen website, or contact Clive Beaumont at Nelson Bays Football on 03 547 5600 for more information.

General Manager’s Report… Nelson Pine LVL Tasman United would like to

It’s match day at Trafalgar Park and I warmly welcome you on behalf of thank the following funders… the players and committee of Tasman United.

I am sure those of you who saw the game last week will agree it was one of the best games of football to be seen in our region in a long time, and I hope today’s game is of equal quality, just with a slightly better outcome for Tasman United.

The league is looking to be a tight affair with any 3 of 7 teams I think in contention for play-off berths in a couple of month’s time, so let’s get behind the boys and hopefully secure 3 points towards that play-off position.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those behind the scenes that make these home games so special and the work undertaken by the TASMAN United committee to ensure the viability and sustainability of the club cannot be underestimated.

I acknowledge our sponsors too, for without their support we cannot do what we are doing and the goodwill extended by our major sponsors, I hope, is appreciated across the region. Our major sponsors Nelson Pine LVL, Sprig and Fern Brewery and Bayleys, deserve the full support of this community in their business endeavours as they show such support to community teams, like Tasman United. That is not to forget the other sponsors who are also deserving of mention; Football Unlimited, Plus4 Insurance, Absolute Energy, NZME, NextGen Energy, BMG, BCM, The Sign Shop, Kahurangi Estate, and Nelson Golf Club, who all contribute to the cause wholeheartedly and considerably.

A warm welcome is extended to our visitors from the capital and I know they will appreciate the facilities and home team hospitality either side of the game.

Go Tasman!!

Coach’s comments…

Welcome to Chris and his young, and very talented team from the Wellington Phoenix. They have been playing very good football to date, and I’m sure they will carry on like that for the rest of the season.

The challenge for us today will be to deny them time and space, and ensure they don’t have many opportunities playing through our lines. We’ve had a couple of very hard games over the last two weeks, and have shown the ability to play positive football, and have backed that up with plenty of commitment and determination off the ball. We’d love to put on a good performance for our last home game before Christmas, and hopefully get a good result.

All the best to both teams today.

Regards, Davor Tavich (Senior Head Coach)
