Can't wait for the Nelson Suburbs vs Coa$tal $pirit match. Nelson Suburbs Out: Coey Turipa (GK), Eddie Newman (GK), Sam Ayers (FW), Matthew Elliott (CB), Alex Ridsdale (FW), Matt Shaw (DF), Casper Aengari (FW) Alex Coles a former NZ Secondary School goalkeeper has joined the club after completing his university studies. Gagame Feni will finally have a full season for Nelson. Nelson has a very young squad, so, even with a number of key departures, the majority of the squad will be better players individually than last season. Members of Nayland College's second place effort at nationals will likely enter the fray later in the season.

That's a handy looking team, apart from BK up front. Should be a cracker of a game first up for us in the MPL. Might pay to bring plenty of supporters, although you won't have to contend with the deck at Bexley this year at least. We've booked a jumbo for the return legs.
We had a "blue fever" last year (seen here at 6:10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB_BetHnuoM ) But due to nearly everyone now attending uni, and my role as a journalist, It's not going to be at the same level as last year. Which is a shame.
BK up front isn't the greatest but he is the target-man that Gagame Feni needs. Phil Ruggles from the Otago United ASB Premiership team was targeted, but don't think anything has eventuated there yet.
