A great win for our Men’s Firsts against Wainui a couple of weeks back, getting some valuable points as we enter the second half of the season. Our Men’s Reserve Team had a valuable win last weekend against Kapiti Coast United showing that they can get back on track and pick up a lot more points in round two, after completing round one today against top-of-the-table Stop Out. Our Powerex Petone Women’s Firsts got another point against Victoria University a couple of weeks back, but got knocked out of the Kate Sheppard Cup on penalties last week. Currently in the middle of the table, some points today against the top team in the W-League are much sought after, following a very close loss away in the first round. Our very young Women’s Reserve Team continues to gain experience every week while striving for a solid second round in Capital Premier. As we are halfway through the season for most teams, here is a snapshot of where everyone is sitting: Men’s Thirds (Cap 3) – top by eight points (seven wins and one draw) Stonecutters (Cap 4) – sixth after seven games Argh Me Knees (Masters 1) – first-equal (six wins and one loss) Left Over Stews (Masters 4) – top by six points (eight wins out of eight) Mighty Masters (Masters 5) – seventh Dreamers (Master Over 45s) – eighth Women’s U18 – third TDP Under 17 – sixth 3 4 TDP Under 15 – seventh TDP Under 13 – fourth The Dave Agent Memorial Darts Night is on tonight and a big thank you to Greg Revell for organising.

The squad Tworked hard in preseason, with everyone looking forward to Calum Ochkas’ Tuesday fitness sessions. We had a good run in the Hilton-Petone Tournament, finishing second in our group behind the Stop Out Reserve Team, who are currently top of the table in Capital 1. These games allowed us to try out some new combinations and welcome new additions to the team. The highlight from preseason was a well-deserved victory against our Petone Reserve Team – especially since we had to play Steve Davey in goal and, despite his best efforts to give goals away with his goalie runs, we restricted them to netting just once. This year our trainings are shared with the Fourth Team on Tuesdays and Masters 1 Team on Thursdays. Having another team to train with has ensured good numbers at trainings and has added that extra competitiveness, which is good preparation for the games on the weekend. The Third Team squad is made up of a good core of eight-ten players who have been playing together for a number of years now. We have made a few additions this year with Alex Butler and Michael Philipsen stepping up from last year’s Fourth Team and Corey Mahar joining us from North Wellington. We welcomed back Luke Waring after having last season off on family leave and Finn Neely has been promoted from the Reserve Team. These additions have added depth to the squad and competition for places in every position which is really exciting – we just have to make sure that nobody finds themselves on the end of a Joe Phissoo tackle at training! You know the squad is strong when the main headache each week is trying to decide who to leave out! We also decided that it was time to retire Steve to masters this year. That has led to a change in the coaching set up – as Steve helped out in this area last year – so this year we have the Jija (Krish Chand) helping out Chris Hosnell with trainings and preparations for games. Another change this year, with the departure of Ra (Rawiri Kapea) due to a long-term injury, was the decision to make Calum our new fine master. This is obviously a very important role in the team which Calum has thrived in so far, making some good new additions to the fine rules for this season – especially the team playlist which causes a lot of controversy and fun. Unfortunately Calum had to incur a special fine of his own for putting the 7 birth of his first child before the team a few weeks back (congratulations to him and Gemma). Following the solid preseason, we hit the ground running when the season- proper started. In the first game we sent a strong message to the rest of the competition that we mean business with a solid 5-1 victory away at Island Bay. Adam Chard showed that he wants to hold onto the club Golden Boot for at least another year scoring four of those – he has nine league goals so far this season. The best thing about this team is the players. We have a great bunch of guys who get on well both on and off the park. We have a great team environment with everyone enjoying their football, but at the same time we are all focused on our goal of winning the competition. At the time of writing, the Thirds are sitting top of Capital 3, unbeaten with six wins and a disappointing draw. The goal for the season is ultimately to win promotion into Capital 2. We have been in Capital 3 for long enough and feel that this could be our year. But there is still a long way to go and we know the way to get there is one game at a time!
