This is going to be a crucial match for us if we are to stay with the frontrunners of the competition and with them being just below us but on the same number of points, we need to make sure we can take the three points today. Funnily enough, this is what I told the players before last weekends game against Birkenhead and we forgot to show up, especially in the first half. Even though we went into half time 1-0 down, we had the favoured conditions in the second half and could have expected to get back into the game. This wasn't to be the case as Birkenhead proceeded to put in another 3 goals and it wasn't until the 85th and 89th minute where we managed to put 2 past former Manurewa goalkeeper Louie Caunter finishing the game 4-2 down. Louie did make 2 outstanding saves to keep us out of the game earlier. Overall, it was a lacklustre performance by our side and Birkenhead did deserve the 3 points. We will really need to step it up today if we want to have a chance at finishing near the top of the league. Good luck to all Manurewa sides this weekend and especially to the first team as they seek to get their first points of the season.

They have had an encouraging start to the season and find themselves in a top four spot coming into this weekends round of matches. Our lads will have to be prepared to fight and battle for every ball if we are to get anything from this match. Our last two matches have seen us suffer two poor losses. The 7-0 loss to Three Kings on our home ground is totally unacceptable. Our last match away to Birkenhead saw our best 45 minutes of the season. But again going down to 10 men we fell off the pace and conceded sloppy goals in the second half. We need to stop using the excuses of having an inexperienced young squad and show a little more desperation and intelligence if we are to turn around our season and start picking up points. We need to put in a good shift today to put these performances behind us and redeem a little bit of pride. The squad appreciates the support that we are receiving from our loyal club members and today we hope to put in a performance that befits this support.

Our Assyrian star side got there first win last week and it was a good one with a 7-0 win over Mangere and speaking to Ash he was a much happier manager than the week before when they went down to Western Springs 4-2 in the wet, which Ash puts down to the loss as the his boys couldn't pass a ball with 2 inch's of water on the pitch. This week they have a local derby against Papatoetoe. The Div 3 side are yet to win a game but considering they have only been together for 5 weeks things are slowly coming together. Last week they had a 4-2 loss to Western Springs. If the boys can stop leaking goals they have the strike power to score goals. This week they have a bye. The over 30s are also yet to win but if anything is go by there last game where they lost 4-2 but had at least 6 good chances to score the boys are looking forward to this weeks game against Ellerslie. The boys just need to get there shots on target and be a bit more tight in defence and there results will come. Last week they had a bye to rest there old joints and body. Our under 19s have had 2 losses in the last 2 weeks but Brian was happy with the boys even though they lost there was patches in both games that gave him plenty to be encouraged about. If they can do a 90 min performance the results will come as well. This week they play Waitakere City and they will be looking for a win as they haven't won a game.
