Finally !!!!!!

After a brilliant start at Avondale against Eastern Subs, then a sliding catalogue of error ridden games, Manchester United NZ finally came out on top against a South American inspired Ranui. With only 10 men taking the field it looked up hill, but Wes was fired up and quickly scored a couple of cracking goals. The Chileans had us running all over the park, but Steve T, Rob and Gareth were determined to turn over the early morning horror of the England match and played out of their skins. Then injury reared its ugly head, nevertheless we battled on and with Mike, Dan, Marc and Stephen Mellor in defence and a sensational Lance in goal we persevered and with a Wolverhampton Rob penalty, two goals from Jamie and another goal from young Wesley we triumphed.

This match was the 150th game of the Manchester United NZ football team and was a cracking game most worthy of the occasion.

Remember, any members can play for the team so if you feel the need to stretch the legs, come along.

Great support from Carrie, Anamaya, Danelle, Katrina and hoary old chestnut Ian and his Waitakere buddies, led to a great feeling on the field.
