President's Update: May 2022

Now that our Winter 2022 season has started, I hope you all are enjoying being on the pitch again - I know I sure am!

You may have noticed you are not the only ones; it’s very busy at the training grounds in particular. Please make sure you stick to your allocated timeslots. 

Our junior player numbers have gone up, but we have also welcomed two new senior teams. It is great to see more senior players at the club.

The club has also added walking football to its programmes. We are keen to give everybody a chance to play.  The programme is a small-sided, low-impact, modified version of the game suited for all levels of ability and fitness, from people who are returning to sport after a break or those who’ve never played before. There is no restriction – it is open to all who wish to play. Just come to Morland Fox on Friday 6pm and meet our coordinator, Ken Carrick. If you want to touch base with Ken beforehand you can contact him by email on: walkingfootball@bluerovers.co.nz
