1989 Revisited? WITH VIDEO by Lee Du Maurier Friday, 4 July 2008 at :: 32 Views :: 1 Comments ::  |
With the top of the table clash between the O'35s and Ellerslie postponed, to be re-played at he end of the season, will this result in the classic Liverpool v Arsenal end of season finale that spawned the Nick Hornby book and movie "Fever Pitch"?
In a tenuous link and with a view to parents supplying holiday DVD Material, I nominate my "Top Ten" Football Films.

Patience is a virtue…. by Steve Cox Monday, 30 June 2008 at :: 168 Views :: 5 Comments ::  |
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.

Papatoetoe Lautoka PP Pukekohe Over 35's by Lee Du Maurier Saturday, 28 June 2008 at :: 111 Views :: 4 Comments ::  |
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.

“Call the Police there’s been a robbery at Bledisloe Park….” by Steve Cox Tuesday, 24 June 2008 at :: 167 Views :: 4 Comments ::  |
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.

Men’s 1st team reach low point of the season, but the only way is up…. by Steve Cox Tuesday, 3 June 2008 at :: 231 Views :: 3 Comments ::  |
The 1st team has faced a hard week there have been a couple of injuries to overcome and, more disturbingly, derisive comments publicly made from club members about player performance and the ability of management and coaching staff. So it was no wonder that the mind set going into this game was unsettled and we were certain that the trip to Cambridge Utd presented our toughest game of the season to date. However, there is a strong spirit developing in the squad and a strong beleif that we are moving forward.
