ack in Blue! I would like to thank everybody involved at the club for giving Bme the opportunity to be the coach of the Men’s First Team. Petone FC was where I first started playing football as a junior in 1983 and was also the club where I made my senior debut as an 18-year-old in the 1994 Winfield Superclub competition (12-team Central League). This club is special to me and is close to my heart, with Petone being the place I grew up. I am honoured and privileged to be back at the club and to be entrusted with such an important position. As well as having a great passion for football, one of the key attractions to getting back into coaching was the people that I will be working with. Having a coaching team that is all working together for the betterment of the club and the players was crucial to this. Having Paul “Stick” Whitmarsh back coaching is absolutely huge for the club moving forward. Paul and I have played together for the First Team and first coached together back in 1996 at Junior Regional League grade. We both had a lot more hair flowing back then!!! Our footballing philosophies are aligned and I know that Paul’s great experience with the current group and hard work and fantastic achievement in getting promotion last year will go a long way to helping achieve our goals in the remainder of the season. Another key member of our coaching team is Ben “Fiddy” Feld. Ben has done a great job with the Reserves this season, who are on track to gain promotion into Capital 1 next year. Ben has great experience, having also played at the highest level. That experience will only benefit the next generation of young players coming through. I would like to personally give a special mention to my football friend and club legend, Dutchman Paul “Ollie” Olsthoorn. Paul was one of my Petone idols when

hen I took on the role of Men’s Reserve Team coach the first thing I Wwanted to do was create an environment in which the players could perform to their maximum potential, learn as much as they could about the game of football and, most of all, have fun doing it. I was quite firm on making the Reserve Team a place where the players/coaches were honest, hardworking, confident and trusting of one another. We have for the first time in my time at the club created our own team culture and environment, that will continue to grow as the seasons go on. We lost the first game of the season after holding the lead for the majority of the match. Since then the lads have put everything they have into learning the art of defending a lead, this is one of the reasons we have done so well this season. The attitude of the players has been second to none – the willingness to drop down and play for the Third Team when required, or only get a few minutes off the bench, has meant we have such great depth. We have had three players move up and make their Central League debuts so far this season – as a group they should be so proud of themselves for supporting each other with opportunities like that. We have also been able to provide a positive football environment for First Team players to play in when returning from injury or requiring minutes to keep their fitness levels up when stuck in that fringe-player role. In saying that, one of the biggest positives this season is not needing to drop players down for the sake of it – this has given the younger players an opportunity to step up into senior football. We have a talented group of 16 and 17-year-olds who make up the majority of the team – if they keep on working hard and learning with the same drive over the next few seasons, our First Team will be in good stead for the future. The older lads in the team have really taken on leadership roles on and off the field to look after the youth. Shaun de Roo, our captain, and his group of friends have gained a lot of respect from me this year for taking this on. Today we sit in a position to gain promotion back to Capital 1. We are also in a great position to win the league. We will, however, be keeping our feet on the ground and focusing on each 90 minutes as it comes, as we have done all season. I am so proud of the lads for what we have already achieved – seeing players smile after games is the biggest result for me. I want to thank my manager/assistant-coach Richard Wake. He has been such a great person to have on the sideline, performing the set up and take down at games and for being a great positive role model for the lads.

BP Railway Avenue BP Railway Avenue – formally Caltex Railway Avenue – is a family service station owned by Pam and Campbell for the past 12 years. It changed from Caltex as its fuel supplier to BP when Z Energy bought the Caltex business in New Zealand a few years ago, and the Commerce Commission forced us to change due to the close proximity of the Z site on Hutt Road. We undertook a major upgrade of the shop about two years ago, installing a full barista coffee offer supported by a significant food offer. We spend a significant amount of time training specific staff in the making of coffee and they have to pass a rigorous test before they are allowed to make coffee for customers. We also utilise the services of an external coffee specialist to make sure our training is of the highest quality. We feel we have one of the best – if indeed, not the best, coffee offer in the Hutt Valley. Our other significant offer for customers is our touch-free carwash, which uses two different detergent washes to get all-but-the-most-stubborn road grime off vehicles plus a tricolour polish pass, finishing off with a carnauba waterfall!!! In the evening it has an LED light display and a few weeks ago the carwash was used by the Wellington Paranormal crew to film an episode which will go to air (COVID-allowing) next March they hope. All of this is supported with a trailer hire service, party ice and a wide selection of chilled drinks/chippies/chocolates/car care products and a small range of grocery items, all backed up with a friendly staff service. 04 570 2544 [email protected] 32 Railway Avenue, Lower Hutt www.facebook.com/pages/category/Gas-Station/BP-735727810106902/

irst Kicks are our youngest footballers, officially it’s designed for kids aged Fbetween four to six, however, we have footballers as young as three and as old as eight. It’s run on the training turf very Saturday morning at 10am. This year we have 70 kids registered and turning up most weeks. The kids are split into age-group teams, each team is given a country name:
Brazil – coach Jason Trenbeth This is the first season Jason has coached and the kids love him – almost every week I get a new registration asking if they can be in his team. These are our youngest footballers – some are just three years old They have big smiles and big kicks, they are absolutely amazing to watch.
Spain – coach Damian Gurnell This is the first season Damian has coached. A big shout out to Damian, who turned up to coach when his own kids weren’t there. These are our second-youngest footballers. This team is a bit mixed, with some kids who have played before and are not afraid to get stuck in, and others that are trying it for the first time.
England – coach Dave Gilbert We were luckily enough to steal Dave away from Lower Hutt. Another Big shout out, he also has turned up to coach when his son is away. This team has a diverse age range, with Baz who is four and Josh who is six and will be moving into 7th Grade next season – good luck Josh.
Netherlands – coach Ed Oosterbaan Ed is new to Petone FC. When he registered, so also did a number of friends, which pretty much filled a team. It’s great to watch these kids. Ed has a number of activities that involve drilling around cones, passing and working together.
Germany – coach Colin Wright Another new coach this season. This is one of our biggest teams. Watch these kids – they will go far with lots of skills being passed down by their footballing parents.
38-42 Railway Ave Ph: 04 887 1311
38-42 Railway Ave Ph: 04 887 1311 Belgium – coach Mark Ebbrell Another new coach this season. Mark is always engaged. These are our oldest footballers – most will be moving up to 7th Grade next season. There are some sharp skills in this team.
Urguguay – coach David Studder And another new coach this season. David put his hand up to coach after Mo, our original coach, broke her leg. These kids love the games David runs and they try extra hard with David actively joining in with the games.
Italy – coach Gary Jenkins Gary has stepped up to help out as our registrations continue. These kids are also our oldest footballers. Some have been at First Kicks since age four. It’s great to see how much they continue to enjoy football. Some are eligible to play in a higher grade but are new or just giving football ago. First Kicks at Petone – fun with a football at their feet, playing with friends! Article kindly provided by Tina Whalen Founding of Petone FC
HA Renai, in conjunction with Archdeacon JC Russell, in 1897 founded what Hwas then known as the Petone Association Football Club. Renai was the secretary and treasurer for the club through until 1904 and Russell was the first club captain. RC Kirk, then Mayor of Petone, was the president through until 1903. Sir James Hector was elected patron. He was at the time the chancellor of the New Zealand University – a governing body that oversaw all universities – and he had previously been the Government chief scientist. Mount Hector in the Tararua Ranges is named after him. The club played its first competitive matches in 1898, entering teams in the Senior and Third Class divisions of the Wellington competition. While the First Team finished fifth of five in their division, the Reserves won their division of eight teams – winning all 21 games. Renai played as a halfback (midfielder) in the First Team and was also a Wellington representative player from 1900 to 1905, playing in seven games against other provinces and one against New Zealand in 1905. In 1904 he also played for the North Island Team against New South Wales. Other players from that first Petone team to represent Wellington included C Berntsen (1898-1899), H Godber (1898-1904), E Renai (1899-1907) and RB Clark (1901). Renai was secretary of the Wellington Football Association for one year and served on the New Zealand Council for 18 years. After the 1904 season the club lost many of its senior players and its First Team played in Third Class in 1905 and Fourth Class in 1906. No senior teams were fielded in 1907 and then a Senior 1 Team re-entered the competition in 1908. Following the 1904 season Renai had no known involvement in Petone AFC until he noticed a newspaper article in 1955 reporting the efforts the club was making to establish its own ground at McEwen Park and to organise an end-of-season tournament. He wrote to the club, enclosing a donation and reporting on his involvement in its establishment. That tournament became the Hilton-Petone Cup, which is still running today as a pre-season competition, and Renai’s letter was published in the programme for the 1955 tournament. In 1956 Renai was elected president of the club, an office he only held for one year, but it was remarkable in that he had renewed his involvement after 50 years’ absence. He died in 1957.
