Saw that Mason-Smith had gone there and a few more english imports. Also saw that they were scheduled to be playing on the Masterton Memorial Turf so big step up in facilities. I liked the new clubrooms at their ground but pitch was quite small, looking forward to seeing a Rapa derby in a few years i hope.

Greytown are doing the same thing playing a few games at the turf. Im assuming it's all council owned anyway so it's not like they'd have dibs.

Olympic to win it again? Be interesting to watch the game vs Greytown on Saturday.

Greytown still flying, slight hickup against the Nix, but back to winning ways against Petone ressies.
Also, I know that it's not Cap Prem, but don't think there's a Welly local football forum, but can anyone give me a little debrief on Porirua City FC? I see that they're in Cap 3 this year, after getting promoted from the local leagues. Any idea about what the clubs prospects are?

Porirua City were formed in 1967 as a junior club affiliated to Waterside (I believe they played as Porirua City Waterside) - alot of Wharfies had moved out to the "new" city of Porirua. In 1973 when these juniors had reached the age where they could enter senior football, they did, although as they were still affiliated to Waterside this caused an issue but it was quickly resolved and Porirua City became a senior club in their own right.
They played two seasons in Central League 3 South in 1983/84 and then in 1993 in Central 3.
The last few seasons their senior team, called Porirua City St Germaine, has been around Wellington 1 \ Capital 4 and now Capital 3. TBH That's probably the highest they'll go. They do have a reasonable junior section, but the best players from there will usually head to Wests or the Nix - Ben Waine played his junior football at Porirua City
