Kerry Bevan Obituary Before kick off today, we will be observing a minutes silence in memory of Jane Farrelly, beloved wife and mother of Ian, Ben and Nick. Jane was tragically taken from her family in a cycling accident in Taupo on 16 March. Jane was an active member of our community serving on the James Cook High School Board of Trustees, Manukau Veterans Cycling Club just to name a few. Ian, Ben and Nick have been active members of our club over the past several years. Jane will be sadly missed by her family, friends and the wider community. Reserve Coaches Comments Welcome to all new and existing club members for the 2013 season. This year is going to be an interesting challenge as Anja and myself progress into this new role into senior management after having spent 3 years looking after the under 19s. I would like to welcome Gordon Craig back into the club and jumping on board to give us a hand as we learn the ropes of coaching at this level. As we look to try to build a competitive squad for the season, we are also trying to blood some younger players into the reserves to give them the experience needed to compete at this level and to build some depth between the first team and the reserves to make us a really competitive club at this level. I wish everybody all the best for the new season and look forward to the challenges ahead.

The goal however remains the same, retain Manurewa’s place in the Northern League Premier Division. Thanks to all the Manurewa supporters, you are one helluva vocal bunch and we’re going to need everyone’s voice behind us this season. Thanks as well to our Sponsors Lotto for the support. Final big thanks to the club and the manager, Adrian, for all the time and effort put in behind the scenes to allow the squad to concentrate solely on the football and give us the best chance of success. As opposed to previous years, the squad is really young this season. It is littered with proven premier league players and promising young players from the area. The mix of experience and youth bodes well for the season ahead as well as seasons to come. Hoani has pushed the guys hard in preseason as he preaches his brand of fitness and football. Things have begun to come together with a high quality first team squad who has gone unbeaten in preseason against some tricky opposition, culminating in a good 3-1 win against Kevin Fallon’s Eastern Suburbs side last game time out. Welcome to Central United today. They are always there or there abouts at the end of the season, and even without their full complement of summer league players back, will be a tough opposition for our boys. Three points today is crucial to kick-starting our season and breeding a winning cul- ture to take us through the rest of the season. Here’s to a great season ahead.

Hope everyone has had a nice summer and are getting ready for another footy season this year. This year we welcome all the new players to the club. To H and the boys have a good season. To Gordon and Steve good luck this year with the reserves and Gordon welcome back. Our Assyrian star side from last year have moved up a division into the AFF champion- ship league and speaking with Ash the boys and himself re looking forward to this year as the league they are playing is another big step up from last year. The league they are in contains club sides that are the 3rd side in the club. This week they are playing Central. A new side this year but not new players as Duncan is taking our Division 3 side which contains some boys that were in our U19s from last year and some other senior players that are hoping to push for a spot into the reserves if they get a few injuries. This years U19s side have a new coach as Steve as stepped up into the reserves with Gor- don. So Brian has stepped up this year with most of the U17s he coached last year and a couple that have come to the club. These players also should be looking at improving there game and in The future trying to push for the reserves or even the first team. Our over 30s side are this year stepping up a league into the first division for the 30s as they won there league last year. They have lost a few players from last year but have gained a couple and the players know that this year will be a big step up in the quality of the opposition. Not to be a Grinch but those players that haven't paid fees in full do so ASAP. Otherwise you can't be in the club draw. Thanks and have a good season and if you have any questions come and ask me. Cheers Gigsy Ladies Report The ladies have had a strong start to the season with plenty of fresh new faces getting stuck into fitness and skills work. We've lost a couple of players this year and wish Brooke all the best with the up and coming arrival of a much awaited little girl. Nana we hope you recover quickly! We want you back, cheer leading each Sunday is expected! Christina get those wedding plans moving along and we can't wait to see the photos! Beckie expect to be called in when we're short and Trish don't party too hard at uni down in the Waikato! Coach Brody......don't be a stranger. One of our biggest losses is Fionna, our goalie, out with an injury (thanks Clendon), big big shoes to fill, let's hope the team steps up! Welcome to Kerri, Brenner, Caitlyn, Michelle and Shannon! We're excited to have you onboard. Hopefully Lisa and Angela will soon be convinced to join the ranks! Our pre-season game against Huntly went well with a 2-2 draw.
