    • 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

    • 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

    • BNU Div 16 v Upper Hutt Slayers 23/5/2009
      • BNU16 3 v UH Slayers 1 - John Lee cuts down Slayers The omens were not good for this fixture at the Velodrome on a wild Wellington Saturday. BNU were missing several key senior squad members through injury, plus influential, but crook, midfielder Karl Roberts. Although perfectly playable at the start, the pitch soon turned into the predictable swamp through the centre, hampering the home team’s at

    • Premier v Miramar- 23/05/09 - L 2-0
      • We all know how bad the weather was on the weekend. I watched a boat slip it's moorings, and mash itself against the rocks, while the owners tried futilely to hoist it out of the water, only to have to give up and let it sink.Still, we all got to play football, and wasn't it great to play in, or watch the game you were involved with?! Yeah Right!On Saturday, through injury I was forced to join the

    • The French are talking about us
      • The internet is an amazing place. And BNU is an amazing club. And when these two collide beautiful things happen. Like this morning when I stumbled across this gem - in french and translated via Google: You probably wonder what happened to the football career of Nordine? 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

    • Hutt News showcases Steele
      • Local soccer up-and-comer Regan Steele is about to cross the Pacific for an annual $NZ60,000 scholarship in the US, but he'll be leaving his home club, Stop Out, at a time when victories are coming thick and fast. Just one year out of Hutt Valley High School, the 18-year-old central mid-fielder will study business at Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, and play in the Metro Atlantic League against other universities in the state.

    • BNU Thirds v University 16/5/2009
      • Uni Scarfies 5-0 BNU Thirds - 16/5/09 Humiliating thrashing instead of a student bashing This season we’ve had more reshuffling at the back than Blanket man with a bout of piles – and for the third game on the bounce we had a new keeper between the sticks. This time Phil donning the gloves in the first half and Robert having a crack in the second half. Not that we’re using that as an excuse for lo

    • BNU Reserves v Upper Hutt City 16/5/2009
      • BNU Reserves 1 - Upper Hutt City 2 Wakefield park was in pretty good nick after all the rain during the week. The windy weather was threatening but held off until after our game. 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

      • Well, we could have drawn Eastborne in the third round of the Illustrious Chatham Cup (Western Suburbs bet the unlucky chaps 10-0) but no, we somehow drew Miramar Rangers.As I've said before Miramar have won it all at some stage or other, and currently sit on top (now joint after a horror 3-3 draw with bottom placed Palmerston North Marist - but they had just lost their coach) of the Central Leagu

    • Womens B v North Wellington 17/5/2009
      • BNU lose at a blustery Wakefield (BNU 0 – North Wellington 3) Oh dear… BNU ladies’ second team were runners up this weekend, coming off a blustery pitch on the wrong end of a 3-0 score line.  But, in our defence, we were playing against the most experienced team in the division and they are definitely the team to beat (maybe next time???). So, where did it all go wrong?  Apparently North Wellingto

      • Olympic 2 - 4 BNU16 BNU took their recent upturn in form into a much tougher game against Olympic at Miramar, coming out victorious by 4-2, in an excellent performance.The win was especially sweet as the team had to battle against a string of poor refereeing decisions and a series of callous challenges on players in promising attacking situations. To their credit BNU by and large (maybe with the e

      • Why, oh why did BNU lose to Naenae…? (Naenae 4 – BNU 0) It had to happen one day… and BNU ladies’ second team came crashing down to earth this week with a 4-0 drubbing from Naenae – urgh.  Things were against us from the beginning when we had to don our white away kit to prevent confusion.  Apparently we decided to do this to stop us accidentally passing the ball to the wrong team.  But truth be t

    • Premier v Naenae - 09/05/09 - W 2-0
      • A hearty welcome back to Naenae, whom we hadn't played against in top flight football for a number of years.This of course creates the issue of not knowing how they play, who was dangerous, and how we could bet them. Coaches problems really. The weather had been horrible all week, but on Saturday Wakefield Park was bathed in sunshine, and still (Yes, you read it - Still!!)Our guys turned up to pla

    • 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

      • 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 ‘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
