The 5-0 scoreline is a testament to just how clinical the Waiuku performance was down at Huntly on Saturday afternoon.

It was always going to be a hard ask to take 3 victories out of the day (given that we really only had two teams worth of players) so the day's results were fairly satisfying. Congratulations to the Men's Reserves and Women's Reserves who both (with a small amount of assistance from a few existing 1st team players) managed to topple their opposition in tough games.

What an end to the season!

Those of us who have been around Waiuku football a while are struggling to recall a better end to the season for the club as a whole.

While there will always be debate about which team has been the best-ever for the club  - that 1970 cup and league-winning side must go close, as must the side in the late 80s that forced their way into what was then the regional Northern Leagues – for constant performances in a tough league the current generation of Premiers have to sit highly in the rankings.

Singing when we’re winning!

Well it’s been a pretty good year for the club in 2007 and things could well get even better over the next few weeks. The Kentish Premiers can not do worse than second in Super Division and while it would take some oddball results for us to win from here, you never know. The Mens Reserves would need to forget how to play not to win their league from here, so put money on them to claim the Auckland fourth division title, and our Premier Ladies have their sights set on the Federation Knockout Cup after bowling championship contenders Western Springs last week.

Unbelievable weekend for the Blues!

Just a quick newsletter this week updating everyone on the results from the weekend and including a few match reports from the teams.

In summary though – it has to be one of the best weekends ever for the club as the Kentish Premiers treated once-mighty Pukekohe with contempt, outplaying them all across the park to win 4-0.

It’s all starting to come together….…

The last couple of weeks have seen the New World Waiuku AFC teams begin to gain some momentum in the charge for the titles in this year’s Soccer2 competitions.

In this issue we have a look at the weekend ahead and make some predictions about what it could mean for the club, but first, a look back at last weekend for the Blues.

The best first half of the season to date set up New World Waiuku AFC’s Kentish Premiers for a solid 3-1 win over University-Mount Wellington on Saturday to go clear fourth on the Super Division table.

First, an apology of sorts…

Having been roundly abused by several women in recent days, may I express a total and groveling apology for suggesting in the last match programme that their teams would struggle on the weekend. Clearly, my ability to pick results needs some work. I have decided that I will not be making any predictions about match results in this and future editions, and instead have contracted a foreign soccer expert to make the predictions for the newsletter and match programmes.

We just don’t seem to talk any more…sigh…

Yep, I’m aware it’s been a while since your in-boxes were thrilled by the sight of the Blues News, but this mild mannered reporter has been saving the world (images of me in Lycra are now flashing through your mind) and has been unable to write words and stuff.

However; the world having been saved, here’s another exciting episode about the boys (and girls) in blue. Read on, Macduff…..*

Saturday – can we make it a clean sweep?

The battle for Franklin soccer’s bragging rights is on again in earnest this weekend as Waiuku takes on Pukekohe on our annual derby day.
Last year we cleaned up to take the trophy, and there’s special significance in Saturday’s matches as the club looks to make a clean sweep of the pre-season trophy competitions. Huntly and Mt Albert Ponsonby have visited and have left empty-handed as the silverware spends another season at Massey Park.

This Sunday – sponsor’s function at the Kentish!

Final preparations are being made for this Sunday’s New World Waiuku AFC sponsor’s function at the Kentish Hotel’s Garden Bar. All senior mens and women players, club officials and partners are invited to attend, kids are ok, and premier players are expected to be in attendance.

First home game – first trophy for the year!

Yep, we’re on the path to collect some more silver (we hope), and after the narrow loss against Manurewa’s Northern League side a couple of weeks ago, we returned to George Street and cut Huntly to ribbons.

New Year Soccer Resolutions….

The glories of 2006 have all but faded into the past as Waiuku gets ready for another season of outstanding football in the New Year. Can we top last year? As Bob the Builder would say…”Yes we can!”

Welcome to the first newsletter of 2007 as we prepare for the new season – the first training day is just a couple of days away! Yep, this Sunday (Jan 21) at the George Street grounds there’s a training, weigh-in, speed tests and a few other bits and bobs for any player looking at Prems or Reserves (Mens). Anyone else is welcome for the time trials though, so if you are trying to get yourself into some sort of shape for 2007 and want to a bit more incentive, turn up and we’ll check your current status.
