The 2009 edition kicks off on the 5th September to 17th October, 2009 with preliminaries and quarter finals at Awakairangi Park, Totara Park Road and Semi Finals and Finals at Harcourt Park � Upper Hutt Soccer Club home ground.

haah whatever!!! yeah if you put us in an easier group you're only making our way to the final a bit easier! we also should have won the "fair play" award last year! not a single booking (maybe one or two), but the best attitude towards refrees!! hope they keep that in mind this year!

Shinpads and boots needed for Street Soccer team
Street Soccer Wgtn is a charitable organisation that promotes football as a tool for social integration and positive life changes for homelss people and refugees- it is the feeder organisation for the Homeless World Cup team. its a huge commitment for some of these guys to travel out to Upper Hutt and take on the mighty Somalia.
We are short of some boots (all sizes/types) and especially shin pads.
If you are going out to Upper Hutt tomorrow and have some shinnies and/or boots gathering dust in the shed please bring them out and give them to Foxy Morrison
you'll be rewarded with good karma for the rest of the football season, and beyond!

Late match Street Football Wellington vs Ethiopia. 4-3 in the end to Ethiopia after turning round 4-0 ahead. The game could' gone either way with the Street Team disallowed a goal with 15 to go. Goalies and poor finishing making for an exciting last 15.

ok tony, i was responsible for at least one of these- when the Ethiopian keeper kicked the goal kick stratight into my back (Should have been looking) on the edge of the box. i was so stunned i muffed the shot. but how many crosses to far post were headed just wide or over...but what an improvement on the ten-nil loss the week before
