You would have to agree that it is fantastic to see hundreds of kids running around on the park on practise nights. The reason that I got my kids involved in football was to have them active, joining in a team environment and being involved with some great adult role models. From my perspective adults that volunteer and give up their time to c...

Patience is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances. Patience also requires discipline, control, attitude and self-belief all of which were displayed by the players on Saturday and necessary in some appalling conditions. Such qualities contributed to a well battled 1.0 victory, our first league win of the season which enabled us to climb off the bottom of the table.

It's always a brand new road
Dodgin' the same old stones
Coverin' the same old ground

Coaching Clinic with Chris Milicich, Neil Emblen and Grant Robertson

You could be forgiven for feeling the blues after what seemed like an eternity of rain. Bledisloe Park didn?t oblige on this Sunday morning, in its water logged ugliness it was not going to be the venue for the much anticipated coaching clinic with Messieurs Milicich, Emblen and Robertson. Instead the Basketball courts at the Pukekohe Recreational Centre, thanks to the quick thinking of Mr ?President- Wild, turned into the stage for 50odd enthusiastic participants.

On the day that the Mens 1st team gained a well deserved 1 - 0 victory at Papakura, the Pools Panel were in full swing after 16 metres of rain this week in Auckland.

Their decision to award an away win for the Over 35's busted many a coupon, with most punters banking on a score draw.

The attention now turns to the Euro 2008 final between Germany and Spain. In the absence of any match material, I've tried to have a bit of fun with a finalists flavour.

This was Tom?s first comment after the final whistle on Saturday. A considerably changed side from the one that lost 4.0 to Onehunga Mangere on the first day of the season took the field after a well earned rest and began the journey into the second half of the season?s fixtures. For 75 minutes it looked like the 1sts were on there way to a well battled point if not grabbing all three.

"When shall we win again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
When the hurly-burly?s done,
When the battle's lost and won.
That will be ere the set of sun.
Where the place?
Upon the heath.
There to meet with them who seethe?
I come, Graymalkin!
Paddock calls.
Anon.
Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air."

[Loosely after WS]

No witches, no witch craft, just some Devilz, plenty of Samba and Eagles, escaping with the spoils.
