Team Wellington 2011/12

Team Wellington 2011/12

Miramar's Matt Calcott appointed as coach officially today confirming the worst kept secret in Wellington football.

I wonder if Matty C will go with a Wellington based team rather than Auckland rejects

Team Wellington in conjunction with Scots College is running some Summer 5 A-side Football Leagues.
Initial details can be found at the link above.

Any idea of a squad Gilly? I'm thinking Matty C may need to look for a striker from out of town? Emi Tade the best striker in town?

Miramar women will enter a team. thanks

Exodus TW Season Memberships now available!

Watched a bit of TW trial game at Wakefield the other night.  Calcott being very thorough with the wide range of players he's looking at.

Another trial earlier tonight. Anyone go along? How are the locals looking? Any players from out of town? I know of one lad from the states.

At Wakefield?

Yeah I think it was.

Was up at Boyd Wilson.

Apparently the squad is all but finalised.

heard tonite that branch , hobson ,gailbraith and lucas all there can anybody comfirm? 

Great stuff if fact.

I can't confirm or otherwise, but that would be an amazing coup for Calcott. Surely they have signed for Waitakere not TW. Lucas is living in Auckland and has a very strong association with Waitakere - I can't see him leaving. I know Galbraith is with LH, but he is a Westie and living back therre I understand. Hobson-McVeigh lives on the North Shore -both he and Galbraith have been involved with the Waitakere NYL teams for a few years now. And Branch is at Uni in Auckland and more than likely would prefer to play his football for an Auckland team rather than Waikato again. Or am I missing something and is Ricki lining them all up for the Nix!!?Toffeeman662011-09-20 11:30:02

I'm unsure about signings but Lucas was definately on trial here.

Galbraith has been playing in trial games as well.

i know that hobson is moving to wellington talking to one of his birko teamates on sunday..

Well there we have it. Each squad must have at least four u-20 players - or so I understand - and those four ain't bad!

Rafa Christians, Calcott's assistant for the '11/'12 season, has brought a player or two from overseas for trials. Unsure how they've gone though.

I would expect Max Weston to be signed though. American lad, played for WU at the back end of the winter season.

Tade at ACFC...

I only put it there cause Tyler mentioned it above.

Do these trials cover the selection of players for the Youth team?  Or do they trial/get selected separately?  Anyone know how that process is going/who's in the frame/when the Youth squad will be announced?

any idea of names?

I think the players have only just been told but apart from that it's all still "in house". My sauce won't even spill.

should be intresting if all those nz reps are playing, could be darkhorses to do well..

After two trial games last week, an Exodus Team Wellington training squad were put through their paces last night under the watchful eyes of head Coach Matt Calcott and assistant�s Mark Oates and Rapha Christians. The coaching staff will be looking to finalise the Exodus Team Wellington squad in the coming weeks ahead of a fixture with the Phoenix on Sunday 3rd October...

Where is this game?

my flatmate just got back from the otago awards & they announced that Patrick Fleming has signed for Team Welly, any truth there?

Heard the same from someone down that way.

TW can't match the money of ACFC or Waitak but most likely feild a strong team and compete.

I'm a relatively new fan of football, so forgive my ignorance. When people say ACFC and Waitak have the money, do they pay players or offer some financial reward? I thought it was amateur? or is it just because two clubs have cash to better support all aspects of the team - and are therefore  more attractive for players.

My belief is they find well priced accomodation(Free) and good paying jobs for the players. (little w big $) No direct payment of players.

Heard tonight that Dakota Lucas was signing with Team Welly. You heard it here first......
