SATURDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER 2017 – KICK OFF 3PM NRFL – RD 22 Fixture OFFICIAL MATCH DAY PROGRAMME OPPOSITION: MANUKAU CITY Tom Speers - Head Coach Welcome back to the Hill which sees us host our final game of the 2017 season.

Firstly our huge congratulations to our visitors, Kevin and his Manukau team, who have achieved back to back promotions. This is a great achievement considering how difficult the league was this year, we wish them luck for next year.

As it is our final game I’d like to thank a couple of people who have not only supported me but have helped the club massively this year, Tom Bray, Bill Lissington and Ben Wall, without your help this year would have not gone as smoothly as it has, so thank you.

Reflecting on the year, even though we didn't achieve our main target, we can still be pleased with our efforts, considering only 3 members of our team survived from the 2016 season, building a new squad and still accumulating enough points to have gone is still something to be proud of. This years league was extremely competitive, and with the young squad we have I’m sure we will only push on next year.

I would like to thank all the sponsors for their continued support as without you the club would not be able to run. And lastly I’d like to thank you, the fans, for your support, it has been great to have your backing week in week out and I know the boys and myself have really appreciated it.

For the last time, let's fill the Hill and make some noise and finish off the season with a good home win, and 3 more points

HEAD COACH ASST. COACH ASST. COACH MANAGER Tom SPEERS Ben WALL Tom BRAY Bill LISSINGTON Darryl Petherick Club Chairman

Welcome Manukau City to Allen Hill for the last game of the 2017 season. In 2015 and 16 - 44 points would have been enough, but that doesn’t count for much now. For NSU the season has not produced what we hoped for but Manukau should be congratulated for securing promotion two years in a row. If there is any hope for you that Springs will slip up today then I can only promise Manukau a tough contest from our lads for 3 points.

I suppose we can speculate what didn’t go well this season, and maybe we will over a beer or two tonight. But we should look forward to 2018 and decide what we need to do better. What I can say is that Tom S has brought a real passion to NSU - that can’t be denied. He didn’t get much time to get a side together and we got off to a cracking start and an even stronger finish. Thanks Tom for all your hard work, and I look forward to sitting down soon to plan 2018.

Thanks also has to go to the team around him. Ben, Bill, and Tom B. Your commitment for this club too is evident. Thanks for 2017. To the players - we have enjoyed watching you, sometimes played every minute from the stands with you. We have seen the passion you too have had for the club and really do appreciate you for it. Enjoy the seasons break, and on behalf of all the supporters we look forward to your return and wearing maroon for the Shore again next year.

Lastly I want to thank the rest of the board at North Shore United. The time and commitment you all give is a credit to you. We always set out with the best of intentions - to grow and improve our club for all of its members. Thank you.

Go the mighty Shore - lets finish the season with a bang! Re-Development Update

In 2012 a small group of us set out to improve the football grounds and facilities on the peninsular. Probably 3 times in those 5 years we have been told ‘yours is the most important project in all of the Auckland region’. We secured the funding allocation about 3 years ago. So why haven’t we succeeded yet? Bureaucracy is what it really comes down to. Red Tape and Bureaucracy.

I hate to imagine just how much time we have spent trying to do this. 1000 players across only 3 grounds for training and games is why we wont stop.

We have had some progression lately. Yes there are some concept images up in the clubrooms, but we are not over the line yet. North Shore United is close to agreeing on a hybrid surface at the Hill, floodlighting, over 100 new carparks, and infrastructure including change rooms etc. That will support a new club house. The council support this. The neighbours are close, but we are not there yet.

For North Shore to truly move forward this development is needed. Not only do we need a surface to play first team football on - we also need more playing and training hours for our kids, youth and social teams. But we are not there yet.

If you get a chance to speak to a local politician - tell them what you think. The oldest football club in the country needs to be recognised with a modern day community facility. 1000 players need it more in 2018 than they did in 2012.

Darryl Petherick, Steve Browning, Donn Roberts. NSU members and passionate supporters. Facilities 1. One full, one half hybrid pitch with lights 2. Permanent carpark 140 3. Public Toilets 4. New changing rooms 5. New Clubhouse * 6. Perimeter fences come down

* Club needs to raise the funds to build the clubhouse. Council fund toilets and changing rooms only.

You can help Tell the Devonport Takapuna Local Board that you support this development. Go to the Auckland Council website and complete the 2017 Local Board Plan feedback form. Or email the Local Board members directly. ACADEMY 2017

Paul Harkness Academy Director Welcome back to New Zealand. Last time you were a player for Shore and now you are back in a different capacity, as the Academy Director of NSU. in your time away how do you think Football in New Zealand has progressed? Thank you it's great to be back. It's 16 years ago since I was last here as a player and the biggest thing I have noticed is the quality of the coaching that is provided at all levels of the game. Back in 2001 it was very much volunteers and dad's taking teams and they had only limited knowledge of football and also resources. The coach Education provided now at grass roots is excellent and it is much more structured from what I recall.

How have you found your first year in the Role at NSU? It has been busy but very rewarding. At the end of last year I was very much reviewing the situation we are in as a club from top to bottom and planning for 2017 along with Mikey Halliday our Coaching Manager. Once the season started it has been pretty full on with both myself and Mikey out on the grass every evening and working with lots of different teams and coaches so that we can work with all of our members at some point in the season and have a positive impact with them. What is your vision for the future of the Academy and what are the goals you would like to achieve in that time?

We would obviously like to follow on from the success of the current Under 15 Academy team and have younger age groups coming through and representing the club at that level. There are some very talented players in the club that we would like to see playing first team football within the next few years and it's my job to ensure they continue that pathway and development into that level and hopefully beyond.

What are the most important aspects of Academies in serving the progression of young players in New Zealand football?

It's really about improving the players year on year and nurturing the talent in the environment that we create as coaches and as a club. Obviously for the players they want to see a pathway for a career in football and we need to provide that. Personally I feel that creating the person as much as the player is equally as important so that we have decent people who are positive about not only a life in football but also after when they finish playing.

How have the Academy teams faired this year?

The Under 15 Metro team are currently third in the Metro league with five games still to play. The U15 Conference team are currently top of their league and need four points from their remaining two fixtures to win their division. We also have five players who are aged a year below U15 who are playing up this year and they have been excellent this season.

With Tom Speers utilising many young players in the 1st Team, how positive an effect does that have on younger players aspiring for that role and does it reflect how good a system North Shore United can provide?

I have made clear my aims for young players in the club to reach first team football when they are ready. It might be when they are 16, 18 or 21, but if Tom believes they are ready then they will play. We want to produce a regular flow of players coming through our system and making the Grade at first team level. The system is still under construction and we have a plan but it will take time but with small steps each year I believe we have a good future for young players at the club. Michael Halliday Coaching Manager This season has been my first working as Coaching Manager after going into the job in November 2017. It has been an enjoyable year working with new coaches, new parents and of course new players that love football. As the season progressed it was a huge challenge to get out across the week and the weekend to see as many players as possible and i wish i had been able to see more. I spent the season coaching 4 teams, the U11 Bayern team, the two U17 girls social teams and the U15 Academy conference team. All very enjoyable to coach and some great varied experiences. Shows we have great young men and women enjoying football and developing at our club.

Throughout the season Paul, our new Technical Director, and I have been reviewing the various facets of the club from the First Kicks games and trainings , the girls development within the club, our links from our youth to the Senior environment as well as the key processes and management behind the club. We have a strong belief that the club can be a bigger presence in the community and be a bigger force in football. Moving forward we are developing our plan with the board, and our new Football Committee, for 2018 moving forward.

Our work in 2018 will be focussing on increasing the quality of the experience of all our club members. Personally i will be developing our club Coach Education program. Educating new and existing coaches to improve the quality of our player experiences at training and games. NZF and NFF have placed a large focus on developing coaching quality across the country and with North Shore being the first club to begin its very own coach education program we are in a great place to help develop our players and our coaches moving forward.

I want to thank all the parents and coaches who have supported us this season and I hope you have an excellent summer. We will continue to work extremely hard over the off season and will come back in 2018 stronger than ever.

Since the club's founding in 1964, Manukau City have grown into a club with 200 people involved across 13 teams.

They have had to overcome 'significant adversity' over the years due to deficient funds. The club's best season in the Chatham Cup came in 2012, when they reached the quarter-finals, but the away trip to Caversham in Dunedin left the club struggling for funds.

The club were consigned to the lower leagues after winning just two of 22 matches in 2014, but recovered to become champions of the 2016 Lotto Sport Italia NRFL Division Two under the management of former national coach Kevin Fallon.

FAHY © LANGWORTHY DAVID FAHY Captain The season has been good but obviously promotion was our main aim & with that gone the squad is disappointed.

Throughout the season though CM we have performed well and CLARKE only let ourselves down on a couple of occasions (in hindsight those times really costing us) With the season being so short you can only have a couple of slip ups if you're going to be successful.

It's a very young squad so if we all return next year along with a ATT couple of additions I feel we can definitely go 2-3 places better.

On behalf of the squad the team would like to thank Tom, Bill the backroom staff, the board & the supporters for all

WATERLAND WATERLAND the support they have given us this year. BEN WALL On Reserves

With a realitively new reserve squad and my first year coaching at this level, I was very excited for the coming season and from the first training session I saw the team had a high caliber of players with a mixture of youth and experience. With an ever changing team but a solid core, the lads preformed at a high level for a lot of the season but unfortunately were unable to preform at key moments of the season. Overall I believe as a group the lads have improved in all facets of the game and I wish all of them the best for the future. A big thank you to Tom for taking me under his wing and helping me improve as a coach, also to Bill and Tom Bray for helping me throughout the season, one final thank you to James Atkinson my manager who took a lot of weight off my shoulders and allowed me to do my job as well as I could. REVIEW RD. 21

0-3 After a very disappointing loss to Tauranga City at home, the dream of promotion was over but Shores season wasn’t finished there. They had a point to prove against Hibiscus Coast after out playing us at home in Round 1 of the NRFL Season. Shore had progressed since then and on a very rainy day up North, Shore had the last laugh. Right from the kick off there was more aggression and intent than in the last encounter. It didn’t take long for Shore to capitalise on their constant attacks, with Ross curling in a fantastic effort in to the top corner. Shore insisted on creating further damage and it came from a mistake from the GK of Coast that led to Ngadela getting one of the easiest tap ins you will see. With Shore leading at half time, they knew that 2-0 was a very dangerous scoreline. Coast grew into the game but Shore still had too much and finally with a penalty being rewarded, Fahy stepped up to slot in the 3rd and clinch the win. Harry Lissington BHSc (Physiotherapy)
