In couple of words this match had it all, A Taxi Driver, A come back from Retirement, Tackles that would make your mother cry from watching and not to forget a little football.Well on turning up at Naenae park it was discovered that the team was of reduced size in fact only 9 players, so from football retirement out come chopper cotton to make it a nice 10 Marist players then the most strangest

Well another great saturday for soccer wasn't it, freezing cold winds and a little rain just to make those slide tackles a little more interesting isn't that right Jonny Cameron. Any way being a little short on men on the weekend we started the game with only 1 sub so we all knew that we were in for a long game and that if anyone happened to get injured it would have to be a dam good

After last weeks result the confidence was high among the boys that a result was possible against the tough Miramar Rangers battle who the Marist Town team have either been smashed in the past against or come away with a great win.The game started off with the toss won by us and we decided to go into the wind as knowing Wellington the wind would pick up in the afternoon. The start of the match

Well, on a great Wellington day the Marist Town boys turned up to Karori Park in the anticipation of actually playing some decent soccer.On everyone's arrival it was discovered that Russ was not going to be there and was apparently in hospital. The general consensus on this topic was somehow Russ had managed to bargain his soul for a new liver or kidney or god knows what else that he may need.

Firsly, this is a game we really should have won.Secondly, this is a game we never should have lost.But you can't win games without scoring goals, and you can't score goals without creating chances. You can't create chances if you don't get near their goal, especially so if you don't have the ball.

Following a protest against Lower Hutt City for fielding an unregistered player against Marist Men's 3rd team (Inter, MTI, Town...take your pick) last Saturday,9th April, Capital Soccer head honcho Graeme Sole has upheld the protest. What was initially a 1-0 loss to Marist now becomes a 2-0 win, along with 3 points.Kev.

Marist 0 – 1 Lower HuttThe boss wasn’t happy about this one and rightly so. We gave an average side too much respect and let them get comfortable on the ball. They scored from a crossed ball early in the first half.In contrast no-one in the Marist side was able to get a foot on the ball. Other than a short spell at the start of the first half when Marcus went close, our best attacking moves came

I vote we all make an effort and get onit at Clubrooms on Sat Nite.Then maybe wander into town if anyone is keen...Good team bonding is needed i reckon, especially with some of the new lads making a real effort on the paddock so-far this season.Forrester - where is match report man?

The strangely un-chaotic build-up to this match mirrored the straightforward manner of the 1-0 win. A free header for left-back Mic West from Van Echten’s corner put Marist Town Incognito (MTI) ahead in the twelfth minute.After a tentative first five minutes the game quickly settled, with the MTI defence clearly on top – Mic getting everything in the air, Vince de Slong slipping out to make

The first training session of the year took place at Melrose park last night. The next session is scheduled for 6pm on Thursday. The new fitness coach Lee, from St. Pats College took us through a light though vigorous warm and had the guys looking pretty daft. The body felt good the next day though, so considering this was the hardest workout for a good while, the warm-up must've worked well.

Im sure im not alone when i say that if it wasnt for the Lads of Marist 3.5th Team then the season may have ended a little sooner. Thanks for hanging in there!! Secondly, thanks to the Marist club.

Dont wanna be too negative, but after turning up on Sat and being asked how many players 'I had....' and then finding out that we have to sort ourselves out each week now - just Fabulous!!! Yet again, Marist have fucked us all over!! And then our result reflected that - haha. Actually we were really in this game until the 65th minute. Guess i aint the only one who hasnt been training...

I've been reading over a few of the old posts and, by Allah, I'd have to say it was getting a bit negative - even for me, 'grumpy old bastard' as Marcus has been apt to call me. Shame he's not been around me when I've been having a succesful season. Unlikely though, since after my top scoring season(17 in 10 games) in 1981 (when my primary school won the Toner Cup and lost the league on a

This was the game we needed to win to start saving our season and we blew it. Our failure to put away any of the numerous chances we created in the first half coupled with some ugly defensive and goalkeeping errors handed this game to Waikanae. The 3-2 scorline is very deceptive. For a start, we were 3-0 down with about 15 to go. It took an OG and a penalty to get it looking more respectable.

Marist 2 - 2 Marist Real There was a lot of hype about this one ... and a lot of players coming out of the woodwork. Funny how both teams can struggle for numbers week in week out and then suddenly two squads of sixteen. NEVER MIND. This was a titanic struggle, with both teams desperate for a win (one team actually expecting it - very silly). The REAL's, surprisingly, got of to the better

Well, we've been been talking about and waiting for "the turn around" and this game coul have been that ... if it had not been for the absence of a few squad members. Marcus, Neil and Ben were all out. We did benefit from Bobby's debut performance for the thirds, his control in the middle of the park and his cajoling, organising and encouragement (not to mention that little bit of class) gave us

ADELAIDE, 2 June 2004: Vanuatu has caused a huge upset in beating New Zealand 4-2 in the final match of round three at Hindmarsh Stadium tonight. Vanuatu led 1-0 at the break courtesy of a brilliant goal from midfield general Seimata Chillia. The All Whites hit back with a goal to replacement striker Vaughan Coveny after the break. But Vanuatu stole the lead back through defender Lexa Bula

No training tonight lads, Russ is working. Meet at the clubrooms on Saturday at 1pm for the Miramar game. We are going to have a Brainstorming session before the game - to try and sort out what is going wrong. Please bring along any ideas. I reckon a weeks "training" in a warm, sunny climate would sort us right out.

Ultimately ... It's taken a while to get round to this post ... to be honest, I didn't really want to think about the game, much less write about it. But little things about the game creep into your mind, answers to questions like : "What went wrong?" One of the things that happened was that they sucked us in. They played little passes along the backs, turned around, probed a bit more ... drew

Well, I didnae see the game with my eyes, like but I suppose 6-1 says most of it, if not all. What I did hear was Westie scored (with a cross), it was a totally changed around side we put out, they were better than us, some of us were crap and Russ got himself booked from the sidelines. It was also mentioned that our midfield failed to track back or get forward enough and also that T has found

Equipment: Cones, balls; Players: 4+ Young players are notorious for losing possession on throw-ins, even after they have learned how to keep possession momentarily by doing a legal throw. Therefore, this lesson plan will cover the basics of a legal throw, as well as some ways to teach the players how to retain possession. Before holding this practice, it is a good idea to do some beginning work

Grounds are open at the monment - there is going to be a desicion made at 1pm. So looks like we'll be on for tonight. Pretty bad turnout last night fellas. Can we get one thing clear? We do train in the rain. If you're unsure if the grounds will be open phone the number to the left. If you can't make it, let someone know. See you's tonight.

Things are looking worse and worse. Now that the Seatoun results have been stripped out, we are fourth bottom. Take out the game we won by default and we'd be bottom with a minus nine goal difference (same as Waikanae). We have got to get our shit together. Marist B would be above us and they've only played one game!

Until we score a goal we are never going to win a game. Unless of course it's an O.G. and that, frankly, seems the most likely scenario given our our unpromiscuous attacking line-up. They never score. Funny that seeing as how all they do do is fuck around. It begs the question, "When was the last time Westie got his hole?" Six times in one night probably, one a blank, and all with little

Rumour has it that Seatoun are quitting the league (not good enough) and that the Marist fourth team that was going to play Div Nine will take their place. Should be interesting.

The mood of the dressing room after a game tells you a lot. Without a doubt, it was quiet but it wasn't all doom and gloom. Until that is, you look at the reaction of the backs. These guys took it hard. But it wasn't their performance that this game hinged on. Our midfield let us down. We were unorganised and we let Miramar play their game. By failing to close down their midfield when we should

With five changes to the starting line-up something of a demolition was underway even before a ball was kicked. There is currently a surplus of players at the club and while the aspirations of some players will undoubtedly be crushed, others will work hard and earn their place in the side. No one will relish being dropped down to Div 9 and the new Fourth Team, but the increased competition for

Just in from Kev: "We have a new team entered in the bye in Division 9. This team is the surplus players from the thirds and will now become Marist 4th’s. Their first game will be 1st May vs Stokes Valley Killer B’s at Miramar 1 at 12.30. While the club is taking on new players every week we are probably short 3-4 players in this team to make up a squad of 16. If your team has any spare

... prepare to fail. That's why the boys will all be polishing their boots before this game. That and the fact that there is going to be a fine for anyone who doesn't. And for any of those dropping down from the 2nds this should come as a surprise, haha. Cheers for the beer money lads!

Men 3 are drawn gainst Miramar at Kilbirnie (12.30), in the game preceding the Chatham Cup clash between Marist and Miramar. Both should be exciting games. We got revenge over Miramar last year in the return fixture after they'd thrashed us at Kilbirnie. The difference shown in spirit on that day is what clinched it - we earned our win. Marist firsts have a hard game against the team that

Not too much to say, cept i reckon we can take them!!! Was a great effort on Sat lads, improvement is always a good thing. Ps - i was so knackered after Sat's game. ALSO - next time you guys see T (from 2nds), ask him about his pathetic drinking effort on Sat nite. Spewed and spewed and probably still spewing. Peace. M

This was a battling performance, resulting in an undeserved defeat. While North Wellington had most of the possesion, Marist created as many chances. NW scored in the 78th minute (allegedly from an offside position) and held on to claim the points. Playing an unfamiliar 4-5-1 formation, Marist attempted to swamp the midfield, denying NW room to manouver. While this tactic did seem to work, it

Good work! We got the points and we did deserve them. Maybe Capital Soccer should look at freeing up the Easter weekend though. It seems daft to have a full programme of fixtures when half the country is away seeing their Ma. And I think the Greeks must be a bit like the Italians in this respect. Now, lets get two real goals on the board.

Olympic (nowhere to be seen) - Marist (3 points, hopefully) Bit of a cock-up really. Olympic defaulted but nobody bothered to tell us, even although - apparently - someone at the club knew about 2 weeks before??????? Ach, never mind, I it was only one of them rubbishy christian festivals this weekend.

Marist (3rds) 0 - 2 Waikanae Well, we haven't changed ... and we are still better than that result. After a closely fought first half with few clear-cut chances for either side, Marist lost possesion after the restart and Waikanae punished us with a quick goal. Marist did fight their way back and almost scored but their keeper pulled off a fingertip reaction save from Casey. From the

The first league game is this weekend, 2.30pm at Kilbirnie Park. We play Waikanae who finished mid-table last season and who are definitely a "team we should have beat". Training is as per usual 6pm Tuesday and Wednesday at Nairn Park. After Sundays trials the basis of some kind of shape seems to be forming. Sam has made right back his own position, Neil looked comfortable at centre-back,

The trials to decide the squads for the second and third teams will take place at 10.30pm on Sunday 28th at Melrose Park. As Kev said, these are trials and will form the basis of the teams that get picked throughout the season. So if you want to play footie, better get yourself down there.

This is going to be the third teams dedicated training night, so we need to make sure as many of us get along on Wednesdays especially. Please try and get a hold of as many as the boys as you can and get them along tonight. Should be a wet one, but lads, the womens team also train Wednesday nights so it could be 'interesting'.

I might as well be leper, like 'KIM LEE' living in my cave on the island next to Soames Island for all the banter I get. I still don't know anything about why the manager left. It's probably a bit like living in 70's communist Europe or 2000's USA. You never get told anything, never mind the truth.

1st team manager John Crooks has left Marist. No official statement has yet been made regarding his departure. Chairman McGrath has taken over as caretaker manager, and has already chalked up a 2-0 victory over Upper Hutt in the Hilton Petone. Return of the Russ Russell Cotton has arrived back at the club after a brief flirtation with Naenae - or was it Stop Out? Who cares, Russ is back.

2 squads of 14 for the Hilton-Petone will be named after training on Sunday (10pm Melrose Park). If you're not there you have one chance of being picked. Nae chance. For anyone who missed Crooksies introduction at training on Tuesday, the club is looking for better communication and a more professional aproach from players this season. This includes being on time for training (fines towards club

Last Saturday, what looked like the Third team side (give or take a few players) that will take the field at Palmie for the Le Tournie put in a decent performance against the 2nds/Women. We came back from four nil down to level at 7-all. There will be another kick around on Saturday ... so be at the clubrooms at 11pm -ish if you want to book your place in the starting eleven.

Firstly, a quick correction to the quoted cost of the Motel. It's actually $37 per night, so the total cost of the weekend is $114. There is a bit of confusion about when the bus comes back, but as most people are only staying Friday/Saturday I think its fair to assume it will be Sunday evening. Our main worry is numbers. At present we have the bare minimum eleven. As follow: Les, Scott, Jonny,

The bus leaves Wellington at 6.30pm on Friday 26th September and comes back on Monday 29th, 10.00am. The Bus costs another $20 bucks so the total cost for the weekend (excluding booze, fags, fanny and food) is $77.

The final day of the season had it all. With nothing less than a win vital to ensure the survival of "MEN3" our solid, dependable (and now almost familiar) backline was bolstered by a midfield comprising of second teamers. The pre-match reaction to these changes was generally well accepted but there was some dissent and coach Russell "Colchester" Cotton had a kit bag thrown at him. West Hits

All eyes are on the third team this week as we try to salvage a small scrap of victory from the slobbery jaws of defeat. We are one point above Naenae and Wellington Utd who play each other (could get very nasty) and are even on points with Olympic. Of these three only W.Utd have an inferior goal difference to us so to avoid relegation we either win, or ... and I don't think its even worth going
