Vs Eastern Suburbs

LOTTO NRFL Division 1 5 July 2.45pm

Manurewa AFC Club Rooms P.O. Box 75 122 War Memorial Park Manurewa Gibbs Rd Manurewa Phone: (09) 267 1120

Today we welcome Eastern Suburbs both first and reserves. We are well aware of their position as league leaders and our first game against them was a cracker. I will expect nothing less today.

Last week against we put it together and were unlucky not to get the three points. I have been saying it over the last few weeks we are showing our strengths. A special mention must go to our council contractor for his effort at line marking. They never fail to amaze me. Thanks to Richard Coe for the use of his hard roller and Jamie for rolling the pitch as best we could.

The season has now turned to winter mode. To all teams, bare with us while we do our best to get you back training.

I would also mention my team is still in. Go the Dutch.

Remember your tickets to the raffle. Your support is essential.

To all the ball boys and girls your efforts are appreciated. We wish more clubs would do it. It shows your support for the first team.

Thanks again.

Kerry Bevan President WE NEED YOUR HELP

Pablo Yackson is a crucial member of our first team and has recently shifted to from South America. He arrived leaving his family behind to organise a new start for them in New Zealand also.

After months of hard work we have received Pablos visa to stay and work in New Zealand and now we need your help. Pablo and the family are looking for a place to live and work (for his wife also—most things considered).

The family arrive in July and we are hoping that someone in the club has a way to help. We would ask that if you have any way at all to help, we would encourage you to make contact with a Club official .

As you can appreciate, this is a reasonably urgent situation and we will be grateful for any level of assistance.

We are a family in our club and let us welcome our new additions. Reserve Coaches Comments

Hi and welcome today to Eastern Suburbs and their supporters.

Today is another important day for ourselves to try and pick up another 3 points after last weekends emphatic 6-0 win over a disorganised Mangere United side.

With Suburbs sitting 8 points ahead of us, today is a good day to start closing the gap between us and them. It was a close affair in the first round with Suburbs winning 1-0 in the dying minutes of the game, but the loss of some key players have seem them falter in the last few weeks.

We need to start well, which is why we have fallen down against the top 2 sides in previous weeks giving them 2 and 3 goals advantage early on before coming back. We also need to be a lot more clinical in front of goal compared to last week against Mangere, where we could have easily racked up10 goals had we taken all of our chances.

Good luck to all Manurewa sides this weekend and will see you afterwards.

First Team Coaches Comments Hi all, welcome back AGAIN to Memorial Park for the our match against Eastern Suburbs.

We especially welcome back some familiar faces from previous years, Gerome Power, Fan-Favourite Matt Fast-Hands Francis, Eammoan &… James Davidson…?

We went down 1-0 in a close-fought game at Madills Farm in the first round and are looking to return the favour here today but with Suburbs atop the league and yet to drop 3 points, I’m sure they won’t make it easy on us.

The second round may only be 2 games in, but it has seen us really turn a corner with our performances, especially in the effort and commitment department. Last week against Mangere, we felt we deserved the 3 points with more than 10 clear cut opportunities created, but our finishing left a lot to be desired and is something we will work on as the season continues. If we can keep creating the chances, we will start banging them in eventually. As long as the effort and commitment is there week-in week-out, you’ll certainly keep the coaching staff happy, and the results will take care of themselves.

Writing this 3 days out from the game, I’m going to assume the pitch is in pristine condition and ready to host a great example of football. Hope everyone has brought their moulds…

Thanks,

Nath, H & Mark

MID SEASON REPORT

OVER 30’s

Hi all.

Our over 30s this season have had a mixed season so far this year. With half the season gone we are mid table with a game in hand.

Our season would be better if we didn't have a habit of hitting the post or cross bar and having a few of our boys out with injuries. At one stage I think there was 7 of us out. But after our last 4 games we have won 2 and only lost 1 to the league leaders by 1-0 and we hit the post in that game and drawing last weekend with Unimount. We are away this week to Western Springs.

Good luck to army Nathan and H this week and will catch up after the game for a beer.

Giggsy

Manurewa O35’s 2014

After much deliberation, pondering and soul searching this group of tired, retired and broken ex-footballers decided it was time to give birth to an Over 35’s team within the club. The birth of the inaugural over 35’s team occurred on the 5th April 2014.

With a keen, enthusiastic group of 18 (6 extra needed for injuries and softness) the season kicked off with 2 loses. After such a great start training was postponed and the next four games were won with a little grit, determination and lot of sledging. Three losses followed with injuries the major feature of those three weeks. Back on track next week with a 2 nil win over a team we lost to in the first round.

With the return of Brian Feldtman from his unannounced trip to the motherland, we can only look forward to better things. Apart from some inspirational play from our bunch of experienced players, our highlight so far has to be the four wins in the clubrooms totalling $200.00 in bar tabs.

The team would like to acknowledge the continued support of Keith Moyle of Auckland Electrical.

LADIES REPORT

Last Sunday saw us playing at home. We managed to field the bare 11 players due to injuries and sickness and played with heart and pride.

The line up was a defensive one and I was proud of the team when we came away with a 3 nil win over a very strong opposition. Christina Judd and Shannon Stratford were joint players of the day and Natalie Lamb (2) and Stacey McCarthy were the goal scorers. Kamera Tucker and Renae Hubbard had strong defensive games.

Well done team.

Robynne Hubbard Coach Youth Report

Last weekend we were very surprised that games went ahead with all the rain that fell on Thursday, Friday and early hours of Saturday morning.

We had a mixed bag of results with 8 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses. Not too bad considering the conditions.

16th Pumas had a 1—0 win at home to Papatoetoe. Their captain Aaron Dormer suffered a serious injury 2 minutes into the game and is now on crutches and possibly facing the end of his season. Aaron, we wish you a speedy recovery.

Team photos during the week went well with all youth teams turning out for photos. To many it looked like ciaos but it was organised ciaos. Thanks to coaches and managers for getting their teams organised and orders and money in on the night.

I would like to thank Kirsten Jury and the JMC for stepping up this weekend and helping us out with ball boys and Player of the Day as the bulk of the Youth Committee have other commitments.

Youth and Juniors have a break next weekend so enjoy the school holidays and see you back on the pitch on 19th July.

Best of luck to Hoani, Mark and Nathan and the boys today and to other Rewa team as well.

Laurette Hummels Youth Chairperson

YOUTH PLAYER OF THE DAY Takes place every game day around 3pm after the Juniors. Players need to register at the Youth table prior to this. Any Youth player is eligible to enter the Youth Draw of a $15 Organised chaos was a great way to describe our recent photo nights. Combination of parents, players coaches and committee members.

Organised Chaos

Junior Team Photos

We had a great mix of junior and youth teams along for their photos. Some discussion over boots, cleanliness and of course the odd parent or five who try to pay committee rather than the coach but all in good fun. From the committees we took advantage to hand out raffle tickets to teams not yet got theirs.
