Our last home games for the men has been Apr– 9th v Ellerslie Home 5pm 3—0 deleted from the memory banks so we shall Apr-16th v North Shore Away 3pm 1—1 move on! Last week, we saw the 1st Team battle like we haven't seen for a while, to Apr-22nd v Metro Home 7.30pm 2—5 come away with a very well deserved point. As a team, you could not help Apr-25th v Oratia Away 3pm 1—2 but be happy and proud of that performance in comparison to that oth- er game we can't mention. There were some great efforts from Apisai 'the Apr-30th v Manurewa Home 5pm 1—3 menace' Smith, Big Phillip Paul, Sammy, Dave and Budgie. So, this is more like the 'Kura we know and love and I'm sure this weekend's fixture is go- May-7th v Franklin Away 3pm 1—4 ing to be a cracker, with two teams absolutely desperate for 3 points. The May 15th v A2 Auckland Wanderers Chatham Cup 3—2 Reserves are also in a bit of a spin right now, but they have had a very credible season so far so we have every confidence that they will pick up May-21st v Mangere Away 3pm 3—2 their performance this weekend. May-28th v Hibiscus Coast Home 5pm 1—0 As for the women, they are doing a sterling job and are back in the June-3rd v Mt Albert Ponsonby Away 7pm 1—3 winners circle. Having being postponed against Metro the weekend before last, both teams hit their straps on Sunday with the Reserves win- June-6th v East Coast Bays Chatham Cup 2—5 ning relatively comfortably in the end and the 1st Team putting Hibiscus Coast to the sword with an emphatic 4-0 win. Some big efforts from June-11th v Waitakere City Away 3pm 0—5 Rebecca Blyth, Sophie McLaughlin, Sam Butler, Jasmin Elson, Sarah 'the June-18th v BYE hustler' Holmes, and Gemma Gouwland just to name a few. Well done ladies. The Women are away to West Auckland this weekend and will June-25th v Ellerslie Away 5pm 0—1 appreciate your support. July-2nd v North Shore Home 5pm 2—9 On a more sobering note (excuse the pun, but it is dry July after all), we July– 8th v Metro Away 7.30pm 1—1 are having some issues with the amount of alcohol being consumed upstairs and in the open, which is in direct violation of the liquor laws, let July-16th v Oratia Home 5pm alone that the alcohol being consumed is not being purchased in the July-23rd v Manurewa Away 3pm bar. Communications are coming soon regarding this (and see the website) and we expect the support of all club members and supporters in July-30th v Franklin Home 5pm adhering to the rules. I.e. you buy your booze across the bar and you consume it within the bar environs. Not in the car park, not in the chang- Aug-6th v Mangere Home 5pm ing rooms and not on the fields.

Now we host Oratia United in what can only be describe as a three Leading PCFC NRFL Goal Scorers 2016 pointer in every sense of the word. Both teams have had some disappointing results and find ourselves at the wrong end of the 7 Charlie Heather table in a four way battle to avoid relegation in a league where no 2 Cory Mackay team can be taken for granted and as a result of that tonight’s 2 Chris Clark game is one of the biggest of our season. The training has been intense and all the players know what is expected of them in this 2 Sammy Khan game if we are to climb away from the dreaded drop zone. 1 Dave Allen Finally I would like to thank you all for your continued support and 1 Jake Paige all of the positive messages we have received over the past few 1 Phil Paul weeks.

See you after the game. 1 Harry Hillary-Jenkins—Chatham Cup Yours in football 1 Api Smith—Chatham Cup Jason Heather – Head Coach Northern League First Division 2016 The Reserves Team P W D L For Agst GD PTS The reserves have been in a bit of a slump since the start of the second round; we started well with a hard fought win against Waitakere City 14 13 1 0 34 7 27 40 Waitakere, but since then have recorded 3 losses in a row. Our last North Shore 15 9 3 3 45 20 25 30 game against Metro was a disappointing effort, the game in general was very flat and Kura had the chance to take hold of the game but Mt Albert Ponsonby 13 8 2 3 23 12 11 26 couldn’t find that extra step to get control.
