Premier v Kapiti - 28/06/08 - W 2-0
- Island Bay United AFC
- Last Saturday we faced Kapiti United, and found that the 1 hour trip away had been reduced to a trip to Whitby as Kapiti Council had closed all their grounds. Despite both teams essentially having an away game, we knew from our last encounter with them that it would be a hard fought game played for the full 90 minutes.

Ballantyne Cup, 9k-2.6k handicap races, Strand Park
- Wellington Scottish Athletics Club
- The round-the-stopbanks races enjoyed conditions far better than forecast. Peter Stevens won the 1921 Ballantyne Memorial Cup after a delayed start (distracted by encouraging his daughter Julieta in the J-team race). Jeff Galt and Natham Bramley were second the third under handicap. Belinda Buck is the holder of the women's Shirley Barton Trophy for 2008, with Karen Jenkinson and returnee Barbara Tucker the runners-up.

Ten Mad Minutes and the Slapperz go Down
- Karori Slapperz AFC
- An injury-plagued Slapperz journeyed to Petone Memorial 4 to take on the Armani's. With Steve-O and Barts on the sideline nursing aches and pains, we were all hoping for an injury free match. No luck there, I'm afraid, with Gazz limping off after just 1 minute with a nasty looking recurrence of his injury. Fortunately, Striker Barts gallantly came to the rescue and played the remaining 89 minutes up front.

New developments re: the Cobham Park Indoor Courts
- St Mary's Old Girls Netball Club (SMOG)
- Netball Wellington have advised that although everything was moving ahead towards the resource consent process for the development of the new indoor courts at Cobham Park, this is now being reviewed as part of the Council’s Annual Plan process. Andy Foster from the council has questioned the need for 12 courts. He is pushing to revisit the ’sites analysis’ with the idea of 8 courts at the Port (if the land can be obtained) and possibly covering some courts at Hataitai (amongst other possibilities).

- When times are quiet in the cinema business (as they have been all year) owners respond by opening more and more films and hoping something will stick. This week sees the Penthouse open yet another contemporary British comedy-drama, funded by the UK Film Council using National Lottery funds (much like Happy-Go-Lucky and Brick Lane which are still screening), Grow Your Own.

The Great Escape - Karori Slapperz 3 - Naenae 3
- Karori Slapperz AFC
- On a Saturday that everyone assumed the games would be cancelled the mighty Karori Slapperz were transferred to Adventure Park in Whitby. After a mission for some of the fellas to find the park we assembled out the front of the changing rooms on what was actually a fine day for a game of football, sunny with a light southerly breeze. The team managed to pick itself due to injuries and absences.
