Nix v Stop Out, Porirua Park, 7pm tonight

In case anyone's missed this, Phoenix are having their first hit-out of the pre-season against Stop Out at Porirua Park at 7pm tonight.

Maybe Tim Brown will go to watch?!?

Will some one post if cancelled?

games still on at this stage, just spoke to the Stop Out manager to confirm

Contemplated going. But will support school 1st XI instead.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop

so it is definitely on? Can anyone fully confirm???

Yes, it's on.

No problemo champ.

At the game. Who is the left wing with green boots on?

For the phoenix that is

2-0 nix so far. Ifill and Greenie. 2ndBest2010-06-02 19:37:08

Apparently LM is Yianni Galanos from Heidelberg in the VPL.

Finn Milne playing LB.

Now 2-1 Nix.

Any other trialist of note?

4-1 now. Owe goal plus an unnamed trialist.  Marco taking the piss apparently.

who is our goal keeper? Is RC back?

Fulch from Karori.  Assume Reece is overseas still.

Good Crowd?

Marco is king. That is all.

.

I noticed 3 Wests players, dont know names though.

Fulch for the Nix!

Short.

Started:

--------------- Fulch
PATT---McKain---Dura---Finn Milne
Vinnie ------- Manny -------- Galanos
Ifill ---------Greenacre ------- Daniel.

Changes at the half:
Milne for Musa
Daniel for Marco
Galanos for Diego (I think).

About 20 in they made 5 changes including Jimmy Haidakis for PATT, Cory Chettleburgh and three others I'm not certain on the identity of.  Milne also came back on for Dura, then Marco got injured so they played the last five and conceded the late goal with only ten men.  McKain, Musa and Diego the only Phoenix players on the field by then.

So Marco looked good? How was Musa?

how bad was the injury? recurrence?

Thought Musa looked good, composed on ball. For a youngster he is tall and strong.

Iced and hobbling but I think just lumped where he'd had the surgery so maybe just a bit tender.

dirty Stop Outs

more about Fulcher please

Didn't have the best of starts, took too long with a fairly starightforward clearance from a back pass and belted straight in the Stop Out striker and very nearly bounced back for a goal.

While Stop Out scored two keeper did not really have a hell of a lot to do.whitby fever2010-06-02 22:35:24

It was quite good fun actually, thought Galanos seem quite well composed.

TOp marks to the random lady walking around in pyjamas, dressing gown, slippers and with a hot water bottle.

Phoenix playing Lower Hutt, 8pm Wednesday at Porirua Park next week as well, I believe.

THought someone said it was Tuesday next week ?

Liked Musa. Seems to have a good football brain on him, and a pretty decent touch. Defended well, but wasn't really tested by any stretch of imagination.

Probably too lightweight for the A-league atm, but some good potential there.

Needs more Coey Turipa in goal.

If Musa was the guy who came off 5 mins earlly I was very impressed with his skills down the left wing; he was playing good, entertaining football.

That was Marco Rojas, last years scholarship winner.  He's coming back from surgery on that ankle.  Musa was the taller, dark skinned lad playing behind him at left back.
