Reunion at the Clubrooms,
Saturday 28 August 2010. As there is a possibility
that this may be the last season we have the use of
the Hagley Park clubrooms, we are holding a get together
for all past players from 4.30 on. Make an afternoon
of it and come down and watch the prem women play
Selwyn in the season final, 2.30 start time. The prem
men play slightly earlier at 2.15 for 3/4.
The Primary A
Girls have completed a very successful season. As
well as winning the Super 6 tournament at the start
of the year, they have also finished a very credible
third place in the main competition, dispatching Hornby
5-1 in the last game. This would be the teams best
result in some years, an achievement coaches Hilary
Sutherland, Rachel McCann
and captain Grace Curtis can well
be proud off.

Singapore
Snaps
Rachel McCann has recently led the NZ Youth Olympics team to the bronze medal in Singapore. NZ competed very successfully, only losing to the eventual finalists Argentina and Holland by one goal. Donna, Rachel's mum and Club Supporter of the Year in 2009 shows off her own unique flag raising style.
.
Carrying on from
where they left off last year in Youth grade, the Division
5 ladies have already qualified to move up to Division
4 next year. The team remain unbeaten, winning
14 out of 14 so far this season, scoring 84 goals in
the process and conceding only 15 against. A young team
with lots of potential, there are only three players
15 years or over. They sometimes play with 4 sets of
sisters (Tania & Beaular Jachi, Sarah & Amy Mitchell,
EJ & April McLennan, and Courtenay & Ally Bradley).
Quite a team, and they are doing it in style.

sadness that we advise of the death of Sandra

As many will know Sandra was the lifeblood of our
Junior Club, and a very valued committee member for
a good number of years. Sandra will be well missed
