Folks,

Looks like this Friday nights game against a Central league Selection has been moved to the Hutt Rec. as Porirua Park is a mess.

i don't fancy the chances of that pitch holding up too well.  it gets plodded by hutt old boys rfc every saturday and doesn't drain too well.
 
this conjures up memories of fred de jong sliding through the mud to push the ball over the goal line to beat the socceroos 1-0 a couple of decades ago!

i imagine itd be something along the lines of the guys who played against the u20s?

Dylan Hall, Steve Gulley, Luis Fonseca, Sam Blackburn, Mike Halikias, Craig Alderdice, George Barbarouses, Eagar - cant think of who esle was involved in that one.

yeah they will - there was some issue around wests being the only club to not release players for the last lot of games vs U20s.......funny isnt it.....the ex-Wests coach requests a game vs a "Central League XI" then no Wests players are released for it.....but yes it will be interesting to see who gets released for this fixture.

Hmmm, hadn't thought of that.  . . . one might be forgiven for suggesting a cunning ruse.

yes Phil fairly odd is it not....let me re-enact for you.

SJ: Hi Mick, Stu here.....any chance of throwing together a team of Central Leaguers, which would effectively be a Team Wellington, who u dont coach anymore.....to play against my U20s? Oh while im at it, no Wests players are to play in this fixture, would hate for them to be burnt out for their game this weekend.

MW: Not a problem Stuey ol' chap, can make it my last hurrah......i'll call the coaches of the wgtn based teams and put something together, except Calcott.....don't wanna upset him, he could turn red......

SJ: Cheers Mick, your a legend, i loved your work with the All Whites to while im at it...

Call ended

Now I have used some artistic licence in their, but u get the jist of it do ya not?

Wests have an easy game on Sunday so they could surely spare most of their 1st team for this game.

Andy Barron and Woody Patrick are playing (for the first time in a while). Dylan is injured - so unsure who the keeper is - anyone handy between the sticks?

Just a quick question. Are there any football pitches at the Hutt Rec. Last I saw they were all rugby. It so, where on the rec ground is the grass going to be short enough for decent football?

Its no longer a problem.

I think the mayor of the Hutt asked them to play there - so hopefully he has been out with the mower midweek.
If not they can play a game of touch

Pretty sure the lights are only on one piece of the ground anyway so they don't have much choice.

As for whoever had a mare of a Hutt Chick, ur not grazing the right areas mate, go shopping somewhere else.

Hutt Rec will have drained quite niceley in the sun all day today. Hutt Park Raceway is stil hard as a rock hahha, its our home ground right "Dennis Ibrihim"

We're gonna park up on touchline level, get nice and close to the action. no doubt with a brew or 2

yip, there's only one lit pitch.

the rugby goals were still up this morning.  the pitch was also unmarked and the grass was long (rugby length). 
 
however, there were a few excel vehicles on hand, so hopefully mayor ogden has it all sorted by now

difficult conditions, with a level 19 gale blowing straight down the pitch.  CL Selection played with the wind in the first half and scored after about 15 minutes.  Barron hit a free kick from a 40 yards which the Phoenix keeper did well to tip over the bar.  Not much else in the 1st half.
 
Second half dominated by the nix.  Daniel scored a penalty, some other players scored, and Brown conceeded about 36 free kicks.  Covs got a lovely goal and Brown showed some class setting up the fifth in the last minute.
 
Lochead looked the business, Daniel showed some nice touches (he'd never seen rain before) and the Korean trialist looked ok at right back.
 
Good performance, and an ok crowd considering the cold.

Ian Robinson was busy in the middle, Andy Barron played right back (possibly asked to play there so Ricky could check him out as cover for that position), Hall did ok in goal.

I think Covs got a pair, plus Old or Smeltz got one, then Brownlie scored on full time.
