New Year everyone! Did anyone manage to spot three Kiwis playing in the
World's top leagues on TV this morning? Ryan Nelsen helped Blackburn to
a 1 - 0 win against Newcastle, Simon Elliott played for Fulham in their
2 - 1 loss to West Ham and Ivan Vicelich defended well for Roda JC in
the 0 - 0 draw with Feyenord. These guys are all earning megabucks (e.g.
$30000 a week) and playing with and against superstars. e.g. Ryan Nelsen
did a good job marking Alan Shearer. On Thursday he'll be marking Rooney,
van Nistelroy & co in the League Cup semi-final. Wouldn't it be great
for an Awakeri player to get to that level. It can be done! 27 Nov After three wet Mondays we finally got to play family soccer! Some good games too. The draw is on-line. See you Mondays 6 - 7pm. Click here to view the rules and team make-up. 24 Sept Club break-up very successful. Glorious weather meant hot games and sunburn. Team photos are here.
