Grant plumbing Petone Match Programme Sunday 27th July

2014 Lotto Central League Petone FC vs Miramar Rangers 3.00pm

Women’s 3 Tall Poppy Petone vs Victoria University 1.00pm

Welcome...

Today we welcome Miramar Rangers to Memorial Park for the rescheduled Central league clash against Grant Plumbing Petone - our second game against the league leaders in a week.

We gave a very good account of ourselves last Saturday at David Farrington Park but came away empty handed after taking an early 2-0 lead. Knowing how to win is an art and it’s something we need to learn quickly,especially when we get ourselves into strong positions. Today will be a big test of our mental toughness and a chance to see what we’ve learned from last week.

It’s a big weekend for football and also a big weekend for our women’s 2nd team. Tall Poppy Petone Reserves play the curtain raiser and another win will secure promotion and put us ahead of schedule on our new women’s strategic plan. Tall Poppy Petone 1st team are also on track for promotion so it could be a great day for women’s football at Petone!

Good luck to all Petone teams playing this weekend. Remember, play hard but play fair.

Craig Deadman Chairman, Petone Football Club

Not being of a shy nature, Grant quickly earned himself a reputation as a hard player, but the aggression always came laced with passion, skill and commitment, no matter what team he was playing for. That attitude took him to the top of NZ Football where he made 71 appearances and scored 19 goals, and he remains a player Petone are proud to call their own. Grant was recently interviewed by Steve Minogue, who had the pleasure of managing some of the teams in which Grant played. Why did you choose to play for Petone? My grandfather, Reg Chapman, who played for Petone, lived at the end of Bracken St.He encouraged me to play the game and came and watched me. Petone Football Club became my homeand, although I played for several clubs (today’s opposition included where I appreciated the influence of the late David Farrington), I always came back to Petone. Where do you currently live and what are you doing? Tauranga. I work for Carter Holt Harvey. What is your involvement in football today? Nil. I don’t even follow a team in the EPL anymore. I play a bit of golf, and have two grandchildren in Whakatane. My grandson (6) plays rugby and my granddaughter (8) is into netball. Neither knows that grandad played football for New Zealand. Favourite memories of Petone Football Club? The people at Petone were like family. Dave Agent was a g o o d f r i e n d t o m e . C o a c h T o n y E v a n s a l s o h e l p e d m e g r e a t l y . As a coach, winning the Hilton Petone Cup against Miramar in 2000 was special.One of the best goals I scored for Petone was against Napier at Nelson Park. I shot from well outside the area and from the time it left the boot I felt good about it. We won that game 3-2, a rear occurrence for any visitors to Napier at that time. Which coach had the biggest influence on your career? There is one coach who stands out when it comes to influencing me - Fallon. We fought like cats and dogs, probably because we were similar types, but he got the best out of me and made me an All White. The other major influence in my career has been my wife, Lyn. We just celebrated 35 years of marriage and she has been with me through some pretty tough times over those years. Her support and influence on me have been magnificent. What was your career highlight? Where are they now Highlight was being picked for my country. It was a special moment every time I pulled on the NZ Jersey. It was something I was so passionate about. I saw it as an honour and I feel that - Grant Turner players who pick and choose when they are available for the All Whites should get overlooked next time and replaced. It is important that the honour of playing for the All Whites needs to be preserved.However I draw the line with that theory when it comes to availability for friendlies. Players at top level do need to have breaks. That is an important part of their programmes. Regrets? Well, getting injured in Spain before the start of the World Cup was unfortunate. I also regret not knowing who Tommy Docherty was. He rang me after the World Cup game in Australia in 81 and asked me if I would be interested in going to England to play for his team. He was coaching Wolves at the time but I said I was busy and asked him to ring back. Shortly after, Ricky Herbert joined the club. Fallon had to tell me who Docherty was. I received other offers from overseas but the timing wasn’t right. Who was your footballing idol when you were growing up? I never really modelled myself on anyone. Kevin Keegan and Steve Heighway were good to watch and I actually got to play with Keegan in a game here in NZ. I played rugby league as a kid in the mornings, and then played football in the afternoon. What would you have wanted to see at Petone during your time? If one thing disappointed me about Petone it was that the club never had the aspiration to move forward to National League when they had the opportunity. I know there are other things that need to be considered when you take a step forward, especially with the costs involved in playing at the top level, but it was disappointing to players who had achieved that recognition and never got it. I always thought that Petone could have made it, but the aspiration didn’t appear to be there. Grant Turner during the 82 World Cup campaign

Initially entered for the 2014 season as the Petone Pins, the Women’s second team decided to ‘honour’ our long suffering coach Paul Martin, and underwent our first name change to become the Petone Paulers. Much to Paul’s dismay, this created a weekly opportunity for him to be ridiculed about his ‘harem’ by the other men’s teams at the clubrooms on a Saturday afternoon. After months of mockery, the second, recent name change to Tall Poppy Petone Reserves (in honour of the new women’s sponsor, Tall Poppy Real Estate) must have come as a relief. The TPP Reserves started the season in Division 3. The start to the season was mixed, with several new players and a large squad of 19 to be juggled. At the end of the first round of games, we sat third on the table, narrowly missing out on promotion after losing a crucial game to Vic Uni-fied. A much more settled second round (a string of wins and one draw) have seen us sitting consistently at the top of the table, to the point where we are already guaranteed promotion back into Division 2 at the end of the season, with two games left to play. Paul can’t quite believe it, and we’ll let him believe that it was his star coaching ability, and not Steve Minogue’s bar-tab incentive, that contributed to this turn around. Thanks Steve. While promotion was definitely a goal for the team this season (and part of the PFC five-year strategy for women’s football), the Tall Poppy Reserves are also the ‘social’ Women’s team, and despite Paul’s best efforts, don’t seem to take things too seriously. One of the highlights (and probably also the lowpoint, if your name is Jeff Bell) of our season to date was an overnight trip and winery cycle tour in Martinborough before playing Wairarapa United - we never quite made back the goal difference from the 15-0 annihilation the next day. A quick run-down of the special talents of the ladies in our squad…. Forwards Hannah Carey (NooNoo) – Newest and youngest addition to the squad and has already scored more goals than most of us combined. Famous for spending the most time upside down at Bubble Football and not quite making a hat trick. Hands off, Sam Morrissey. Jo Morrissey (Number 2) – Forever trying to become Paul’s Number 1. Infamous for the ‘salted’ Apple Crumble at last year’s Tui Award evening and getting the team fined for inside-out socks. Mid-field Hayley Potter – Currently the Golden Boot of the team. Insanely committed and will put off trips away or return home early in order to make it to our games (sorry Scott, it’s obvious where her priorities lie). Andrea Carter (Andy, ‘Number 1’) – Famous for not remembering Saturday night snap-chats, and making fantastic runs up the sideline without the ball. Michelle Lewis (Captain) – Used to be the team’s manager too, but then she got fired. Scores an average of one goal each season from halfway and claims they’re intentional. Tracey Davis (Backheel Queen) – Never let her pour you shots, unless you like them sealed in candle wax. Has some magic midfield moves which, combined with her speed, completely confuse the opposition. Linda Messenger – Has recently celebrated scoring her first goal ever!! And is now contending with NooNoo to be the first to get the hat trick. Milly Tamaki (Millz) – By self-admission, plays best when hungover. Leads our cheers and always ‘has our back’ whenever things get a little heated on the pitch. Defence Kim Davis – She doesn’t get drunk, she gets awesome! Legendary centre-back, always there to clean up everyone else’s messes. Donna Wright (Donnz) – Slide champion that has made many game-saving tackles. Famous for practising said slide tackles in the rain at midnight on Jodie Agent’s deck. Supplier of halftime Bacardi oranges.. Catherine Davis – New(ish) addition to our back line. Always positive and keen to improve her game – the rest of us have a lot to learn from her. Nikki Hawke – Back line pro who we’re glad to see back this season, after a ‘gap’ year last year. Sophie Badland (GK) – Pretty much just amazing. Especially the goal she scored for Wairarapa United in the closing minutes of the game, taking the final tally up to 15 – 0.

Jacks of all trades Samantha Ford-Hathaway (Sam) – Nothing will put her off playing football for more than a week. Not even a heart operation or a broken arm. Plays all over the field - no matter which position Paul puts her in. Hannah Brennan – Another fantastic new addition this season who has fitted right in to the team. You’ll often spot her skate boarding to our games. Joanne Hyde (JoJo) – Has recently re-experienced being a teenager thanks to a nasty concussion during our game against BNU. Natasha Butler (Nat) – Talented new addition this season. We no longer need to use the lights during evening training sessions as Nat’s new boots do a much better job of lighting up the pitch. We’d like to thank all the members of our extended TPP Reserves Whanau for the numerous contributions they have made to our team this year: • Our assistant coaches (both of whom have run away overseas) Jeff ‘the Maori’ Bell and Ellis ‘Elbow’ Martin • Our sideline crew and social supporters Scott Wilkins, Brendon Norling, Gee Dennis and Eadon Dennis-Davis, Leigh and Ella Martin, Krissy Carey • Our training buddies Renee and Ayrton • Our referees Clint Hawke, Amber and Mike Stephenson • Our occasional guest star players Amber (again), and Jodie Agent • Our regular bartenders Amber, Jeff, Kristy, Tina, and Nads Sophie Badland Goalkeeper, Tall Poppy Petone Reserves
