WU Salmon 4- WU Terrace1

WU Salmon 4- WU Terrace1
Half time 2-1

3 goals from Craig and a fourth from newbie Squirt sealed the deal in squalid conditions. Well done to Jerms and Simon who battled hard in the middle and a big thank you to Kahu who took the gloves after a no-show from Sami. Now if only Richie Hallam would start putting away a few of his chances from those corners....

Kia kaha boys, a few more gritty wins like this and we'll be sitting pretty

Legends V Salmon- quick update

Salmon drew 3-3 with the Legends in a fast paced entertaining match

Great to get a result first up, well done lads

a little bit of history

For all the newbies, and for the oldies who wish to reminisce;
Salmon were formed in 1999 and were originally nicknamed "The Steve Austins'! The Salmon moniker came after one of the lads washed the kit poorly making it a Salmony orange- and one of the WAGS said it was less orange and more of a Salmon, since 2000 it has been the Salmon.

We won our division three times in a row in our first three years (Div 10, Div 9 and Div 8). We have had no silverware since EXCEPT for winning the inuaugural Div 9 cup two seasons ago.

COuld 2011 be the year the glory returns to the Salmon?

2011 Season Squad

The call went out & the Salmon responded-
Out this year is the youth triumvirate of Chris, Cam and Jonathon. Plus Ben the Bobby retires to better pace the beat. Danny is also off, potentially to join Marist FC, although he'll turn out of us in the preseason. Returning from Quake damaged Chch is Terry "The British Bulldog" Henry. We also have a couple of newbies (ahem) trialling for the Salmon in 2011.

Our first friendly is today against the Arms at Vicotria University's new artificial field- here is the team we have assembled:

Terry Henry
Craig Ireson
Sami Yusif
Dave Armstrong
Richard Hallam
Jeremy Norman
Nigel Kum
Adam Holloway
Nathan Rattray
