Coached by Sergio Suzana, the Choppers are one of Westerns two 9th grade junior sides and one of our 11 junior teams. The Choppers have so far had an enjoyable season with the team being made up with an even spread of boys and girls alike. A lot of these players came through Westerns first kicks Kindy football program (talked about in last month’s newsletter which can be found Here). The below pictures are from their game against Shirley St Albans Rebels at Claire Park on the 25th May. 2 | Page NEWSLETTER M A Y - JUNE EDITION Reflections Section – Lindsay Adams For Ever Grateful to my Parents When our parents, Margaret and Bruce Adams, moved here from Invercargill, they rented a flat in Trafalgar Street. We were there for around 2 years until they decided to shift. So they bought a house at 258 Westminster Street. There were two main reasons for the move. Firstly, to be near the highly rated educational institutions of Mairehau primary and High schools for us boys. Secondly, and most importantly, Mum hated the noise coming from English Park. Unbeknown to them, this move would soon become a highly sought after piece of real-estate, which would lead our family to embark on a series of adventures. When I was seven a neighbour asked me if I wanted to join a soccer team. So we biked down to Hagley Park and joined Western. Even the name had a certain ring about it. Western. Yeah. We had a great time playing teams such as Celtic, Shamrock, City and Wanderers. Dad came home one night with the news that Western had acquired some land nearby. Next door in fact. Great news. The seniors came around soon and this is where I made a huge amount of friends. I even made friends with my brother, Two Face. Mum and Dad really enjoyed it. Mum always said she hated living next to this place (deep down she liked it. At least she knew where we were). You may remember the Shoot magazine. It used to come with a cardboard league ladder with teams on tabs you could move up and down. Mum removed the team names and replaced them with names of Western members. Top of the ladder you were considered liked and popular with her. It drew an enormous amount of interest. People used to drop in at any time to check where they were on the ladder. Tony and I, Dad and Tony Soutter always made up the relegation slots. The club paid our parents $20 to clean up the clubrooms after the dances. Mum thought it was a disgrace but Dad thought it was great. He used to find more than $20 and often come home with the odd abandoned bottle of Lion Brown. One of “those” Sundays Mum walked the dog around the park only to witness someone being thrown in the creek. When we got home Mum asked why this person was thrown into the creek. The answer of course was obvious. He won the raffle. Sadly our folks have both passed away, Dad just recently. We can never thank them enough that we moved next to the greatest club in NZ. Lindsay Adams Have you got any memories of Western Association Football Club you would like to share? Send them to [email protected] 3 | Page NEWSLETTER M A Y - JUNE EDITION Centenary Weekend Review The weekend got underway with the Friday Golf Tournament held at Windsor Golf Club. It was a very successful day which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. In total there were approximately 100 players partake of varying and questionable ability. The Ambrose style tournament was eventually won by the O’Neil family team with a score of 9 under. 4 | Page NEWSLETTER M A Y - JUNE EDITION Following the golf was the conversazione, held at the Christchurch Rugby Clubrooms it had 170 people attend. It was a great night that gave many current and former western people are chance to reminisce and socialize. The evenings guest speakers included paraolympic champion Sophie Pascoe and former All White Bobby Almond. Many of the clubs oldest possessions were on display and also the Chatham Cup trophy brought down from Auckland especially for the weekend celebrations. Missed out on any merchandise over the centenary meeting? We still have merchandise on stock to sell including: Caps Beanies Polo Tops Chatham Cup Tee Shirts Hoodys Singlet’s If interested contact: Beer handles [email protected] Wine Glasses 5 | Page NEWSLETTER M A Y - JUNE EDITION Saturday the 1st June was the show piece day of the celebrations. ASB Football Park was a sea of red and black in the morning as most of the clubs junior teams and kindy football was held at the ground. Following this was the Women’s Premier team game which saw the girls achieve a 3-0 victory over FC Twenty 11. The Men’s premiers were then next to play in the feature game of the weekend. Playing a much improved FC Twenty 11 the boys toiled away throughout creating many chances but without the all important finish required. As the 90 minutes ticked by the men were camped in FC’s half forging what seemed like countless opportunities before Alan Ferguson struck with a 92nd minute winner which sent the large, heavily Western dominated crowd into delirium. There were also some nice touches before the game with former Western Chatham cup winning and New Zealand Football captain Tony Laffey meeting the men’s team and also receiving a centenary Chatham Cup t-shirt presented by current first team coach Julian Morris. 6 | Page NEWSLETTER M A Y - JUNE EDITION After the days football the main event evening was held at the Silks Lounge at Addington Raceway. Over 270 people attended this memorable event which saw Aaron Clapham and Steve Gurney talk and the band Shadow Puppets play long into the night. 7 | Page NEWSLETTER M A Y - JUNE EDITION Sunday saw more fine weather and began with both the women's first division teams performing very well at Walter Park in the morning. The women's second division team also played at ASB Park which was then followed by a very entertaining 2-2 draw between two invitation teams, Stroudy's All Stars and Rosie's Rebels. The game was played out between men and women alike, some of which were still very much feeling the effects of the previous evening’s festivities. At 2pm veteran teams from Morrie's Mugs and Tony's Tuggers played for the cup that these teams had first competed for nearly 40 years ago! The good sized crowd saw the Mugs deservedly win 2-0, despite the Tuggers throwing their full squad of 17 on at the end! The quality of the fixture was described by some as “appalling”. Tuggers and Mugs social traditions were then reenacted back at the clubrooms following the game. Monday saw the conclusion of the epic weekend. It started with the champagne breakfast held at O’Sheas Public House which had an eventual turn out of approximately 70 people. A quality meal and a great way to conclude the formal events of the celebrations. Fittingly Western also participated in a Chatham cup fixture the same day going down to Ferrymead Bays. So from Friday morning to Monday evening it was a fantastic weekend; full off football, rekindled friendships and overall good times. Club members came from as far as England, Ireland, and Australia and of course from all over New Zealand to contribute to what was a truly memorable event and what could be considered the highlight of Western AFC to date.

    Waimak United Football Club SENIOR MATCH DAY PROGRAM Saturday 30th June 2018 waimakunited.org.nz COMMENTS FROM THE CLUB Hello and welcome to another week of football. The in-house junior program is now well into its stride and it is great to see so many kids out there learning new skills, trying their hardest and having fun. Thanks again to all the coaches who give their time and effort to make it all possible. Many kids will be experiencing their first World Cup and trying to take what they see on the screen out into the playground during the week and then the pitch in the weekend - I still have memories of following my first World Cup many years ago. The World Cup has also provided a distraction for some of the more mature members of the club, with a few looking worse for wear after early morning viewing. The tournament has now progressed to the knockout stages, with some of the pre-tournament favourites barely making it through. I am sure we'll see a few more upsets before the final whistle is blown. Speaking of tournaments, planning is well progressed for various tournaments that our club teams will be involved in over the coming months. We are proud to be able to field 14 strong teams in the South Island Tournaments in October. This is testament to the strength and depth that we have in our Junior and Youth grades. The club is also proud to be hosting the Alan Fraser Memorial Tournament for girls in mid-July.

    FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL: 1 COACH’S COMMENT DANNY HALLIGAN I FIRST TEAM HEAD COACH For the second time in a fortnight we welcome Ekow and his Coastal Spirit team to The Christchurch Football Centre. The last game we played was a cliff hanger that we managed to come out on top of and progress to the last 16 of the Chatham Cup. Tonight’s game is the last round of the MPL and even though both teams have qualified comfortably for the Southern League I am sure we both have our sights set on finishing in second position. Last week was a real slog for the boys out at Halswell Domain but we showed that we have matured as a team by adapting to the conditions and doing what was required to get the points. Tonight we are back at our home ground where we are looking to maintain our undefeated record. Finally I want to extend a warm welcome to our latest signing, Joe Hoole who joined us this week and will take his place in tonight’s matchday squad.

    WAIMAK UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB SENIOR MATCH DAY PROGRAM Saturday 12th May 2018 www.waimakunited.org.nz Comments from the club This week our two premier teams are playing in knockout cup matches this weekend. Our Men’s CCL team are playing in round one of the ISPS Handa Chatham Cup against Coastal Spirit, beating Burnham Football Club 8 to 1 in the preliminary round. Our Women’s WPL team are up against Cashmere Technical in round one of the New Zealand Football Foundation Kate Sheppard Cup. Formally known as the Women’s Knockout Cup, the Kate Sheppard Cup was renamed on International Women’s Day. It is a club-based knockout competition, first played in 1994 as a pathway for players linking important strategic goals of New Zealand Football; ‘More Kiwis loving and playing football and our elite teams winning on the world stage’ (New Zealand Football). The announcement of the Kate Sheppard Cup was made on New Zealand’s 125th anniversary of New Zealand becoming the first self-governing country in which all women had the right to vote in parliamentary elections in 1893. Kate Sheppard was a pioneer for women and it is very fitting for the trophy to be named after her. The tagline for the competition is ‘Make a name for yourself’ recognising Sheppard’s achievements. The Kate Sheppard Cup will see regional teams kicking off against each other before it goes into national games at quarter finals. The final is played as a double header with the ISPS Handa Chatham Cup final as part of the traditional end of the New Zealand football season in September.

    Waimak United Football Club SENIOR MATCH DAY PROGRAM Saturday 4th August 2018 waimakunited.org.nz COMMENTS FROM THE CLUB Welcome all to another Weekend of Football. As the Twilight of the Season looms over us I think it is fair to say that the season has had its ups and downs and as the focus of many of our Junior and Youth Teams now starts to switches towards Tournaments in September and October I would like to take this opportunity to focus on the non playing part of our club and the thing that makes everything possible, our volunteers. I would like to thank all of the people who tirelessly give their time for the reward of seeing the players step over the white line and enjoy the beautiful game. Thank you for turning up to training when the pressure is on at work, thank you for washing the kit, planning the sessions and sending the texts and emails. Thank you for organising and turning up to fundraisers and all of the other things that you do on a weekly basis to make this club and your team possible. On that note we still have some season left to play so good luck to all of our team playing this weekend. Most of all enjoy the game, and enjoy the time you spend with your team. Win, Lose or Draw you are a team. The days when you lose are the days where you really get to know the character of the people around you in that team and that allows the team to grow.
