One game away from The Championship!

Today the boys' club team (WSAFC 12th Grade Joga Bonito) played a HUGE match against their long-time foes, Bay Olympic. The result was a 3-2 win for Joga (right at the death!) and this result sees Myer's team sit in 1st place with just one game to go!!

If they win next week (and it'll be another tough game) they will win the premier grade for their age group for the third consecutive year.

Myer's Quiz Night, September 4th 2009

On the note of quiz nights, we've also taken it upon ourselves to run one at the Seddon fields clubrooms of Western Springs football club on Friday 4th September. This will just be to raise money for Myer and Connor. Individual tickets can be bought for $15, or a table of 8 can be bought for $100. Message me at murray@showroom22.com if you want in!

August 22nd update - it's been a while...

So, it's about time for an update...

We've just come back from yet another sausage sizzle outside the Westmere Butcher. Myer's mate Connor, who is also joining him on the UK trip, has spear-headed the sizzles, with lots of help from his great parents Greg and Anna. Lately Anna's been starting mid-morning and working through to 2pm, so if you're in the area or need some new chicken, pork, mince, lamb, rissoles or anything delicious of the meat variety, pay a visit to the Westmere Butcher and buy a sausage off us while you're there.

The boys' UK training is going very well, and tonight we also have a team Quiz Night out at Sacred Heart college. The night is a chance for us to raise a bit of cash for the kids, and to celebrate them as a team, and what they're about to embark on.

More updates to follow.

I've booked my ticket!

The tickets are booked for my trip and we have started to train together as a team.

I usually go to Take-a-Touch academy on Friday nights, but now I'm also training with my UK T.A.T team on Sundays.

Training is for 2 hours, plus I still play on Saturdays and train with my club team twice a week, so I'm really busy with football!

I can't wait for England!

Forza Italia!

A MASSIVE thank you goes out to Alessandro and Joyce at Gina's Italian Restaurant on Auckland's Symonds St for their extremely generous offer of support for Myer's trip.

If you dine at Gina's between now and September '09 and order either the Bodo's Special or L'Estate pizzas, Alessandro and Joyce will give $3 of the revenue to Myer's travel fund!

Add to this an offer to WSAFC players - if they dine at Gina's on their birthday, 15% of their family's bill will go towards the travel fund - and this makes Gina's the ONE AND ONLY PLACE you should be eating between now and September!

Thank you Alessandro & Joyce!!!  And FORZA ITALIA!!!

The Westmere Butcher is our mate!

The very kind Dave at The Westmere Butcher in Auckland has offered to donate unlimited sausages to our sausage sizzles in the lead-up to the September trip so we can maximise profit!

Thanks Dave!  You are the man!

Anyone reading this should visit the Westmere Butcher for any cuts of meat they need - he is one of the best in the business.

Fingers Crossed!

We have applied for a Gull Community Grant in the hope that some funds might come our way to help get Myer to England in September.

Cross all your fingers and toes for Myer!

Two new donors!

A BIG thank you to Onny at Brave Day and Lucy and Mobeen at Stephen Marr for donating to Myer's England travel fund!

If you need insurance, Onny at Brave Day is your man!

And if you need a great hair cut or a little pampering, Stephen Marr or Lucy & The Powder Room is where you need to be!

May 13th

My favourite English team, Arsenal, had a bad week last week, but I'm not too sad!  They lost 3-1 to Man Utd and then 4-1 to Chelsea.  If I was on the team they would have won both games!!

Soccer was cancelled last weekend but we have a new game this Saturday against Papakura.  I want to score twice in that game.

I have set up a new web-page at a cool site called Givealittle.co.nz.  You can read about my trip and donate money, too!  Any chores I can do you in return for a donation, just let me know.

Thanks!

Myer's May 6th Update

Hi everyone,

Thanks for visiting this website and reading my blog.

Training has been going well for the England trip and my team has won the first two games of the season.  Last week we bet a team 7-3 and I scored 1 goal and set up 2 goals.

My football academy is on every Friday night and I'm learning more and more skills each week.  Last week my coach Phil taught us how to celebrate a goal and we were allowed to cheer and yell and dance around.  It was cool.

This weekend we are doing a sausage sizzle before our game to raise funds to buy team jackets.  The team we play on Saturday is Onehunga Sports.  We bet them last year and the year before so I hope we can do it again.

See ya

Hi... It's Tuesday

Today I am off school with a tummy bug. Mum and I are going to make heaps of flyers and I will hand them out into people's letterboxes. I am trying to raise money for my trip!

Hopefully I will get some work doing things like gardening, dogwalking and helping people with their inorganic rubbish - the trucks are coming on April 10 so we all have to get organised!

See you soon!
