Womens B v Petone Pulse 14/6/2009
- Brooklyn Northern United AFC
- BNU women's B 3-1 Loss to Petone Pulse The Sunday morning early game proved a bit much for what can only be described as an unlucky game :( BNU women's B started strong with a load of shots on goal and some really great team work dominating the possession in the first 20 minutes. Petone started a player short but soon picked up the pace with some higher grade recruits. BNU had all the opportuni

Premier v Stop Out - 20/06/09 - W 2-1
- Island Bay United AFC
- Barely two weeks ago, I was hurling criticism at Island Bay's Prem's as I played through a horrible game against Tawa. In the last week however, I've seen us jump the table to third (Stop Out and Karori still have games in hand over us), played in two memorable victories, and seen our team transform remarkably, from a bunch of guys with talent, to a team with heart.Admittedly, the first win was ag

Weekly Report Sunday June 21
- Wellington Runners & Walkers (WRW)
- Hi EveryoneOK – so I lied last week. The weather turned out quite good for getting out and about. One of my group said it was ‘perfect running weather’ which was perhaps pushing it a bit, but it was not too bad. Then came the rest of the week and we are not looking too flash for the weekend. BUT – to repeat what I said last week

BNU Gymnasium Development
- Brooklyn Northern United AFC
- Over the last few months the Committee has been looking at options for the gymnasium development. This investigation has shown that a partnership with other organisations is the most viable way of developing the building and can offer the club a number of other benefits as well. In short, the idea is to establish a partnership for the use and management of the gym so that we will continue to have the use of the facility in the long term.

BNU was due a win and were quietly confident over a new Wainuiomata side still finding their feet.

These were perfect conditions for some slip-sliding muddy tackles and desperate attempts to send a wet, brown ball in the vague direction of th

His deft near post finish, from a pinpoint Carl Roberts corner, earned a deserved victory for Brooklyn in a tightly fought contest. Naenae played their part in an open, keenly conteste

Once we were into the bush we were out of the wind, and although the track was wet there were less puddles and mud than I was expecting. We had a few light snow flurries along the ridge, which was magic, the odd hail which was n
