My first club was Burwood, maybe that explains a few things. My Dad told me when I asked him why I was in the 8th Grade E team why wasn't I higher up and he said it was because I was registered late.
Dad was always good and telling white lies.

We had a good run in the Chatham Cup. Winning at Bexley and English Park was nice.

Mainlanders, do your bit to save the Nix!
Buy a club membership and make an impact on some of those metrics the fudgeing FFA want to see. It will make a difference!
A non-ticket, adult club membership is $50 + transaction fee, child $35 etc.. click the link below and do it today. Share this with all your footy mates too. Even if you can't get to Wellington to watch games regularly you can still be a club member - and that is what counts.

Here's a list of Christchurch lads aged 16,17,18 who mostly left around 13-15 years old and, as far as I know, are still chasing their footy dreams. I've included last known Chch club and where they are now (apologies if incorrect). I think if you asked them why they left, the answer would simply be that they're aiming higher than playing MPL/Dragons. As such, they need to invest more time in their footy than Tuesday/Thursday/pub; so they either a) were selected for or b) chose, full time football environments. In the football lifetimes of these kids, the Dragons/ASBP has been a stepping stone to nowhere much. Being a big fish in your own backyard is no guarantee of success in the wider world. Obviously its a lottery at whether any of these make it, but at least they are having a crack.

97 Bryce McMillen. Coastal. Wynrs. Ole. Belgium
97 Louie Evans. APFA/Cashmere. >>>?
97 Jackson Brady. APFA/Coastal. Academy in Spain. Coastal
98 Ben Stroud. St Bede's. Wee Nix
98 Kieran Pinkney. Cashmere. Academy in Spain. TBA
98 Liam Gerathy. Coastal. Ole
98 Marcel Kampman. APFA/FC20. Wee Nix
99 Joe Bell. APFA/Christs College. Wee Nix
99 Jacob Anderson. APFA/Nomads. Wee Nix
99 Sam Phillip. APFA/STAC. Wee Nix
99 Luke Tongue. APFA/Waimak. Wee Nix
99 Ellis Hare Reid. STAC. Academy in Spain.
I couldn't help notice you forgot that Dean Gibson fellow who was scouted with Kieran and Ellis while in Valencia. Watched him play with Western reserves and made some bloody good saves. I think he is u-19 schoolboys as well.

Any transfer news for the coming season. I hear both Tim Dunn and Mike Willoughby will be missing from the Coastal team as both will be off-shore.
So with both Gareth Turnbull and Tim Dunn gone, they scored 22 of Coastal's 37 goals in 2015, signings in the wind maybe.

It seems like IFANZ has come out of the woodwork. They have now organised a partnership with Halswell and are sending down an IFANZ coach from Auckland next week who is looking to be the new first team coach. Why would anyone go near IFANZ after their track record? Are Halswell really that desperate/silly that they want to get into a partnership with these money grabbers? I wonder if all the parents got their money back from cancelled football trips/sessions..

Interesting. Unless things have changed recently, Halswell have a had a sports consultancy firm overseeing management and running of the club admin and finances for a few years now. I'm sure they would have gone through due process with a fine tooth comb. #2sidestoeverystory

Weird having a link with both Uni and Utd. Could it be a 3 way mega club? Get in FC2011 and they're combining around a dozen!
Think of the children. Which club will they be drawn to? Cvetan at the Rams.
