Premier v Karori - 30/05/09 - L 3-1
- Island Bay United AFC
- Our Saturday trip away to Karori proved just why Wellington needs Artificial Grounds and fast. Unfortunately, this Karori Park is Wellington's latest pitch, and what a waste of money it's proving to be. I'm sure it's great during Summer, when Mums and Dads can happily stroll their Prams across the park to the cafe and playground, but it's not much chop when you need a snorkel to kick off and it's

Restoring our faith in humanity one step at a time

- This morning-ish, I was juggling headphones, iPod, scarf, hat, satchel and extra bag on the bus, as well as trying to text, and unbeknownst to me, I managed to drop my phone on the bus. When I got into work, I had a message on my answerphone from my mum, saying that she'd got a call from someone who had my cellphone, and that I should call my number to arrange a pick-up. Right

But first Downtown Community Ministry needs to collect the thousands of books and other items needed for the fair. Wheelibins will be placed at churches and community centres throughout the city for people to drop off their books. For a list of these locations please see www.dcm.org.nz

BNU Thirds v Marist 02/5/09

- Marist 5-2 BNU Thirds All wrong at Cobham Mmm – consistency is usually considered a good thing, but 2 consecutive matches conceding 5 goals is possibly not ideal. This, in stark contrast to last week, was a defeat brought almost entirely upon ourselves. It all started with an unlucky deflection from our emergency stand-in keeper, the ball coming off Mick and then the post to land right in front of

Premier v Upper Hutt - 02/05/09 - W 2-1

- On Saturday, 3rd (Us) played 4th (Upper Hutt) and 1st (Tawa) played 2nd (Stop Out) so we knew it was possibly a good chance to get our noses clear in front, providing we focused our attention of defeating an always strong Upper Hutt team.It did not start well.It wasn't that we were lethargic, which we weren't. It wasn't that we weren't well prepared, which we were. It just seems to be that we can'

BNU Womens 2nd Team 03/05/2009
- Brooklyn Northern United AFC
- BNU ‘coast’ through with a 3-1 win over Kapiti (Kapiti 1 – BNU 3) The Brooklyn ladies’ second team started off the week very well with two highly placed teams in the pub quiz. It is worthy of mention that neither of the teams exceeded the maximum number of competitors – unlike The Brazilians (aka The Thirds) who appeared to think that 8 players is the same as 5… hmmm ;-) But, we’re not bitter, an

Stokes Valley were the unlucky opponents at McAlister Park with the team at last coming good to register their overdue first win of the season. Despite the early loss of Hamish Garland, BNU dominated the game from the outset and went ahead after 15 minutes with a ty
