Blew. BBQ?

Just to clarify, the This was for the bold part.

Might try to make both games, family and weather permitting. The Weka park one might actually be a nice excuse to spend the day out of town - just need the weather to play ball.

This pretty much confirms my attendance.

Confirmed in latest pod that we are heading over to Australia to play both Sydney A league teams and are looking for a third for pre season.

Good news.

I happen to be in Welly on Sunday, thinking of heading to 14:30 game. Is it easy to get there on public transport?

Not really. Guess it depends also on where you're coming from.

Did he also say one of them would be livestreamed or is my memory fudgeed?

Yes that's what I heard. One of them would be livestreamed.

From Karori take a No 18e to Darlington Road Miramar. 

TBH - be quicker and easier to get an Uber

 100 Snags

Planning on dropping in with the family. Only live 5mins bike ride away. Will there be any sausage sizzle sales? My 5 year old asked. If not can we chuck a few on the barbie? Also is it free to get in? Others we know might be keen.

Thank. We may bring a couple of sausage along for a late lunch as suggested then. Weather is stunning over here today so it going to be a cracker day.

Seen a couple of the young Phoenix lads down here in Miramar. Getting a bite at the bakery so I’m guessing that means they’re not playing. Professionals don’t eat savouries before a game do they?

definitely not playing and they probably went out last night

God has never created anything better for a hang over then a couple of steak and cheese pies for breakfast 

The barbe and sausages on bread with sauce is also probably the ideal lunch for them

It's a bloody good day for it!

Squad announced, really hard to tell formation but Sutton's starting - youngsters Ben Old, Henry Hamilton, van Hattum and Joseph Lee on the bench

Old, Hamilton and Lee are Academy kids? Being an unofficial game, its a shame we are not giving Raphael Le'ai a run.

OPPOSITION | Here's who we face today from @MRAFC1907 and @WgtnOlympic.

Starting XI: Basalaj, Moore, Mata, Shiek, Osman, Dewar, Villa, Bassett, Stevens, Jackson, Kilkolly.

Subs: Daly, Gatek, Barbarouses, Batchelor.#StandUpWithYourNix #ERereTeKeo

Marinovic

Elliot De Vere McGing Cacace

Steinmann Rufer

Devlin Sutton

Waine McCowatt

No first team on the bench?

A lot of unfamiliar faces here, finding it hard to work out who’s who. Guess that’s the nature of hitting the reset button every season. 

1-0 up within a minute, not bad. Sutton

who's Sutton? 

If MiramarOlympic score it’ll be from down their left flank. Elliott tucking in far too much from what I was seeing. 

Edit: too his credit has put in some good blocks. 

Anyone have eyes on the pen call? I only saw the man tip over didn’t see the challenge. 

I really think this is gonna be a break through season for Waine tbh

Is MiramarOlympic out playing us?

Nix run out 6-2 winners, Waine (2), Sutton (2), McCowatt (pen) & an own goal for the Nix. Othman & Stevens for the Combined XI
