Captain’s Message
Welcome to a cold, early winter Saturday at Kel-
burn Park. It’s hard to believe a third of the season
has come and gone already. Seems like only yester-
day we were holding trials down at Boyd-Wilson
and vacuuming out the clubrooms.
We welcome Wellington Olympic’s Reserves for
today’s game. They’re a team our First side knows
very well, having played them twice in the Hilton-
Petone Cup in pre-season, including a tight final
that Olympic won on penalties. We’ll be looking to
bounce back from the Chatham Cup game (see
match report) and keep up the momentum we’ve
been building in Capital Premier.
It promises to be an interesting round of games this
week. The Gossies are tracking well in Capital 1,
while our third team is leading Cap 3. The as yet
unnamed Thirds are a new side, part of the senior
squad we are trying to foster in the club. If they get
a good placing in the league first up we’ll probably
let them name themselves.
The Women’s Firsts face a tough game on Sunday
against Brooklyn Northern, who’ve come down
from Central League and are looking to earn a place
back up there. But with a good win last week, we’re Cover Photo: The Stallions up against North Wellington Re-
