A word from the President
Today is a day to remember those who have gone before us that made this club and gave it the history it has. They are too many for me to mention, players, coaches, administrators, supporters and sponsors. They are all still with us. Just look around the club today. On the walls old photos, notice boards, honours board, photo albums. If you’re not sure who, what and how, club officials and members will be able to walk and talk you through. So please ask. It’s the way to pass on the history of the club. Special thank you to all those today that helped organise this event. The players in the curtain raiser and pre match entertainment. Then the past and some present player’s game. I feel sure it will live up to the dizzy heights it has attained in previous years. During the day take a moment to reflect. We do have history and it was created by great club stalwarts. Let’s never forget.
Kerry Bevan
President
At 11am the Curtain Raiser Game kicks off between 16th Conference teams Manurewa Pumas and Birkenhead. The Pumas have had an amazing season. On 10 August they played Hibiscus Coast at home winning 1—0 and guaranteeing them the Winners of the Inaugural 16th grade Conference Championship with 3 games still to play. The team is a close knit group of lads who through the first half of the season were lead by team Captain Aaron Dormer. Aaron suffered a season ending injury but has still been there on the side line leading and supporting his boys. After loosing Aaron, the boys put in the extra miles and have achieved the results to make their coach Ben Hill, Manager Derek Jarman, parents, supporters and the entire club extremely proud of them. Congratulations to everyone involved with the 16th Pumas, Winners of 16th Conference League.

Most
memorable
moment at
MAFC
I think my most
memorable moment
would have been
taking the juniors to
Mt Smart for the
Chatham Cup final
against Gisborne.
Yvonne White
Chatham Cup final against
Gisbourne—one brother with
blue/yellow hair using house
paint—Mike Rose racing off to
get water for ladies whiskey in
the grandstand only to realise
on his return the flask full
of straight whiskey.
Craig Hastings
Chatham Cup
semi final in
Wellington.

Sue Stewart
Dad’s cheering from
the Gallagher Park
grandstand.
Laurette Hummels
In the clubrooms
when the word
came thru that the
78 team had beaten
Nelson in nelson
for the Chatham
Cup. The roof
lifted off Gallagher
Park.
Freda Hastings
1978 Chatham Cup Final, 3/9/78, at
half time and we were up 1-0 over
Nelson. Bill Semple decided to
come into the dressing room and
encourage us on in a rather whiskey
-drowned state. Bill thought we
needed some help. JA didn’t
appreciate it as he had already
decided what we needed and that
was a good serve. JA had a go at the
Club President and he almost went
white at the words and bolted out.
Needless to say it was all forgotten
after the final whistle, but very
memorable …. Lee Stickland
Funniest
moment at
MAFC
Robbie Leijh lifted a back pass
from half way over Frank's head
to score an own goal against
Glenfield Rovers in the second to
last game of the 78 season. We
had not won the Northern League
at that point, but if we won the
game we would, but Robbie had
put it all at risk. He was laying on
the ground on his back -I stood
over him and told him "what a
stupid bastard he was". We went
onto win 4-2 - all was forgiven, of
Robbie and me. We often laugh
about it… Lee
Stickland
Ladies team Fashion
Parades were always a hit
but especially when we had
First Team players in Mens
Underwear. Brent Woods/
Cameron Pascoe & Mike
Foster I believe. Such a
laugh.
Craig Hastings
Nathan trying to get
a yellow card when
they played Central
so he could stand
down the next game
and therefore play at
the semi final.
Gayle & Richard
Coe
Maurice Tillotson
asking Craig Hastings
to try and mark me in a
practice game. LOL
Keith Mackay
Too many fun times
to remember them
all.
Mark Armstrong
As a youth player
playing on No. 3— retrieving
a ball from a neighbouring
property and getting chased
by a dog. I dived through a
hedge rather than going over
it—ball in hands.
Barend Hummels
Bar at Gallagher
Park & Frank Van
Hattum letting a
chicken drink out
of his pint of beer.
Sue Stewart
Wellington Chatham Cup
Semi Final—Ants De Vries
booking return flight for his
family for a.m on match
day instead of p.m costing
him extra flights and
accommodation. (The kids
were happy!!!)
Laurette Hummels
Waiting at the hotel in Mt
Manuganui for the first team to
arrive. They were being picked up
from the airport by supporters who
had driven down by cars. Rest of
supporters has gone by bus. Team
arrived and were greeted by
everyone. About 10 mins later a
phone call came from the airport.
It was from the captain coach
Dave Bradley to say he had gone
to the loo and was left behind. No
one noticed he was missing.
Freda Hastings
A Junior friendly game
against Birkenhead and
seeing the fathers of
Manurewa team trying
to get into their sons
soccer gear to play
parents game.
