Alex is a Life Member of the Counties Manukau Football Association. The Counties Manukau Football Association joined with the Auckland Football Association in 2000 to form Soccer2, one of the seven regional Federations in the country (now known as Auckland Football Federation).

For the club it’s a very sad day as we remember the loss of Alex Ogilvy last Sunday. I ask you to join us for a minutes silence in his memory. A man who has been with the club from its inception until his passing. It hasn't been the best of seasons for the club this year but today we also celebrate with another member of the 100 club, Justin Horan and with Kieran last week I feel honoured to have watched you both during the last 5 years as Alex would have too. To all teams playing at home today—take a moment to reflect on the great work that the behind the scenes staff do to make this great game possible week in and out. The club raffle was drawn last week and was a great success so thanks to all who sold their tickets and to those who didn’t, let's hope you can try harder next year. Again, to sponsors of the raffle thanks you and to Andrew bloody well done. As we look forward to next year in first division, please join with us in working on making our stay a short one. To the coaches and players, I thank you for your effort and look forward to working with you again to get this great club back to the top level again. To all other sides, senior, youth and junior, enjoy what is left of your season and hopefully we'll see you all at prizegiving. Alex, wish you were here.

How many years playing football: 20 Playing for Rewa: 20 Reserve Coaches Comments This is the last report for the 2013 season from the reserves as we prepare to take on Ellerslie in the final game of the season. Ellerslie have a bit to play for because if they can secure the 3 points, they can finish in 3rd place. We will finish the league in mid table but would like to finish off our season in style. Last week, we went down 2 -1 in a thriller against league winners Hamilton where Hamilton cleared off the line in stoppage time and I was already celebrating the goal before it had gone in and was wondering why the referee hadn't awarded it. I look back over the season and some of our results and wonder if only. I think this has been a fairly successful season from my point of view because there are some very good sides in this league, and we have run many of them close with our biggest loss being a 4 - 2 loss. I would like to thank all the players for their commitment over the season, and Gordon Craig for his help over the first part of the season. I would like to thank Howani and Nathan for the use of 1st team players and also those players for giving 100% when they turned out for us. I would also like to thank Anja for the organisation that she has put into this year in managing the side. I sign off for this year and hope to be doing this all again next year.

The first team wish to extend our condolences to the family and friends of Alex Ogilvy. I’m sure Alex will be keeping an eye on the match from up above and the boys will be trying our hardest to pick up a win for him. Today’s match closes off what has been a challenging season for the first team. The best way for us to finish this season will be with a win today. Ellerslie still have a good chance of avoiding relegation if they can pick up the points today which should make for a well fought entertaining match. While results have not been close to what we expect, the season has given us the opportunity to blood some new young players to the club and premier league level. We appreciate the effort and character shown by all the players involved with the first team squad this season. We hope all this year’s players will return next season as they are key in our challenge to regain Premier League status.
