Mainland Premier League

Any one from Waimak on the boards tonight, hear they a chasing a former MPL coach, may have already signed on the dotted line.

Cmon spill the beans!

Phil Ayers, Tony Gumley, Rob Stanton, Don Saxon, Harry McCosh, Jimmy Small, Bobby Almond, Fred Simpson, Mike Poole, Stu Bola, Keith Brathwaite, Mike Fullen, Colin Curry, Steve Woodin, Mick Braithwaite, Steve Bignall, Paul Brydon, Keith Howard, Barry McTague ........... cast of thousands ........

I've heard Alex Ferguson is moving to Rangiora!!! And I'm pretty sure Mike Coggan has applied for the job (rumour has it Waimak are not sure he has the right credentials to run anything well)

The name I was given is on this list.

Let's start the rumours of Barry McTague to Waimak then ;)

Might be Mike Poole, and both his son & nephew play in the team

Think Mike Poole is taking the Ladies.

I'm gonna guess Don Saxon.

I guess Tony Pulis. If not him, then Carey Baird.

I'm gonna go for Gums, currently in the game although not really in the mould of a Waimak coach, 2nd choice would be Mick who would fit in nicely out in Litlle Britain.

Stu Bola comfirmed at ChCh United Div 1 coach.

So that leaves KFC looking for a coach, pressure is on in Div 1 as well, all good for the game.

i hear the 2014 mpl fixtures are out.

From Ferrymead Bays website:

New Coach Appointed

Following Mick's decision to stand down as 1st team coach after 4 years.
Bays are please to announce the appointment of Danny Halligan as his replacement.
The club would like to take this opportunity to thank Mick for his outstanding services and the results he achieved during his tenure as head coach.

So Danny now in a position to offer first team football. Expect movement in and out of the Bays. I'm talking about players, not the tide.

RUMOUR... Jordan Halligan to bays

Has Mainland season review/preview happened yet - we know it's happened here ;)

Any news?

So that's Bays and Nomads sorted, what are the rest up to then?

Ben Wright and Paul Brydon confirmed at Nelson Suburbs and have been told that Thomas Fry reappointed at Halswell and likewise Julian Morris at Western.

Cashmere Technical did not win the English Cup so John Brown and  Paul Nicholls may be on shakey ground, but I would give them another go.

So that only leaves Coastal and Uni..,.

... Not to mention Bill cowen, billy weir, dave brown, ian brook, lindsay clement. Apparently the technical area at Garrick has its own grandstand! And pensioners pass.

All experienced all with jobs to do. No wonder CTFC always look so organised. Don't see the coach or players putting up nets. Even see ball boys on most occasions. Good to see some past players, coaches etc. still putting it in. 

Mainland Pride leading WaiBOP 2 - nil at half time.

Midway through second half and now 3 - nil to the Pride..

Now 5 nil to the Pride in Rotoura.

Cannot keep up with the goals now 7 - 0.

Final score 7 - nil with the Pride now on top of table.
