    • Premier v Karori - 30/05/09 - L 3-1
      • 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

      • This Sunday is the Global day of prayer.    Many of us struggle with prayer. As John Hughes writes “Prayer is that part of the Christian journey that can be both wonderfully awesome and amazingly frustrating’  But today we invite you to unite with Christians all around the world as we join together to intercede for our world. As you do so you may like to reflect on this prayer offered

But Jillian reminds people to bring a change of socks, shoes, and gear to change into on the bus after the run. It should be an exciting morni

    • BNU Reserves vs North Wellington 23/5/09
      • BNU reserves travelled to Alex Moore Park in Johnsonville on Saturday for the season's return fixture against North Wellington. We'd drawn 1-1 at Wakefield in the first game of the season and we were determined to do our best to better the result. We arrived for the 2:30 kickoff amidst a not so pleasant southerly storm, with BNU's own weatherman Rob Kerr predicting conditions to worsen. We started

I went to training with the idea that the first team from Brooklyn would be a much higher level than mine. Moreover they play i

      • If anyone watched the Irish Open this weekend, 16 17 May, you might have thought they were playing in a New Zealand winter. Well rugged up they were and it is good to know they sometimes have to play in weather like ours has been for the last month. The mid week Women’s Club have had the last 3 Wednesdays cancelled due to some atrocious weather conditions and weekend play has not been much better.

      • Okay, so here’s a first for texture (I think). I’m reviewing a hotel. And guess what? It’s freakin’ cool baby. Ohtel is situated on the prime real estate of Wellington’s Oriental Parade. It’s a fairly compact building, with an understated yet stylish exterior. The theme throughout the hotel is 50’s urban chic.

BNU fielded a good competitive team and dominated the beginning of the first half. We created chances and we're unluck not to score on several attacking pieces. Late in the first half Upper Hutt put on the pressure and we
