Women’s cup final: A Melville knockout

The Waikato Women’s Knockout Cup belongs to Melville for the next 12 months. Even on an afternoon when Floyd Mayweather Jr was in the ring, this was the knockout contest most concentrating the minds of the Gower Park faithful, as, in an all-Melville final, the Women’s Prems beat Women’s Development 3-0. If the contest lacked […]
The Wrap: Leaver returns Six of the best

Melville appear to have unearthed another UK-sourced goalscoring wizard very much in the Marc Evans mould. That was after masterly Matt Leaver potted all six goals as the Melville Gobs (Genuine Old Boys) came from 0-2 down to beat Waikato Unicol 6-3 at Hillcrest Park. On a weekend when many of Melville’s lower grade matches […]
If the cap fits – buy it!

A new batch of Melville United caps are now on sale at the clubrooms, for $20 each. Melville club captain Phil Wheatley said the caps, available in both trendy red and chic black, were always quick sellers and advised buyers to get in quick. “These caps are historically popular with players, Unicorns supporters – and […]
The Wrap: Cup beckons for Melville women

One way or another the Waikato Women’s Knockout Cup will have the Melville name on it this season. Melville women’s premiers are set to host Melville Development in the final of the Waikato women’s knockout tournament at Gower Park on Sunday August 27, 1.30pm (with the women’s plate final contested at 11am.) Melville Prems beat […]
The Wrap: Nooijens inspires Knights

It’s been a challenging season for the Melville Knights in the Waikato B Division, but thanks largely to Josh Nooijens (above) they have picked up their third win. The Knights grabbed a much-needed 4-2 victory over Huntly Thistle to finally move out of the bottom two on the table. Nooijens was happy to drop from […]
The wrap: Goalkeeper drought

Where have all the goalkeepers gone? That was a question on many Melville lips as numerous club teams suffered from a shortage of specialist custodians, and it proved a testing weekend for replacement ring-ins. With Yvette Stevenson overseas, Laurie McMaster was again promoted from the third team to the Women’s Prem, who lost 1-2 away […]
Weekend wrap: Women’s Prems win

On a weekend where most club matches were postponed, Melville premier women notched their first win in the late-season federation league with an important 1-0 home victory over Whakatane Town. After a week of diluvian weather everyone was surprised Sunday’s game could proceed – though it was necessary to play on the slightly less-loved Gower […]
Weekend wrap: Fight Club

Movie buffs will recall that first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club. However when the FC in the name of visiting opponents stands for “Football Club”, it tends to be the very first thing you talk about. Particularly when that team forgets the opposition and starts knocking nine bells […]
WEEKEND WRAP: Cup fever

Cup dreams live on for Melville United – and not just in the Chatham Cup where Melville have made the final 16 for the third time in five years after dismissing Franklin 7-1 with yet another hat trick to Marc Evans. At lower level Melville Nobs and Gobs are through to the next round of […]
