WBS Martinborough FC News

March 15, 2017 March 2017, Sports No Comments

After recently taking over the Junior Soccer side of things, myself and a team of willing parents have recently started up a Development/skills training session for all the local children who are interested in Football/Soccer. These are held every Saturday morning at the Coronation Park grounds in New York Street from 9.30am until 11am (weather permitting). There is no charge for attending as the parents involved are doing this purely to develop our children and because we enjoy the game too. The feedback so far from kids who attend and their parents has been a fantastic thumbs up and this is only the start!

Also, working on from the Juniors, we have been successful in getting approval from Capital Football for a Senior Martinborough side to start this season (April 2017) and a huge thank you to Wairarapa Building Society for their sponsorship to enable us to purchase our initial kit – the team will be known officially as WBS Martinborough FC from here on in.

If you are interested in playing for the Senior side, please let me know via the club email which is martinboroughfc@gmail.com.
As we are a new team we are looking to secure further sponsors/funders in order to purchase all the equipment we need to be a fully functional team – so if you are a local business who would like to help or know someone who would then please get in touch via the club email above.

I would like to thank the following people as without their help and support we would not have got these projects off the ground:
Junior Development – Ian, Grant and Jon plus Amy and Karen for getting the Junior club to a level that it was a pleasure to take over.

Senior Team – Rachael and the Martinborough Rugby Club, WBS, Sport Wellington, Capital Football, Carl, Hayley, Helen, Grant and the players who have already signed up to play.

Watch out for further updates and some exciting events coming this way!
Cheers, Paul
