MATCHDAY PROGRAMME FOR THE WAIBOP UNITED YOUTH TEAM

WaiBOP United v Nelson/Marlborough Falcons Sunday October 4, 2015 Matamata Domain

Welcome to our Visitors WaiBOP United would like to welcome the players and coaching staff from Nelson/Marlborough Falcons.

It’s special for us to match up against the defending champions in what we know will be an entertaining encounter for local fans.

With the club season running quite late, the last few weeks have been pretty hectic bringing our youth side together, but Michael and the lads are rearing to go. Best of luck to both sides.

Thank you to the volunteers at Matamata Swifts for today’s venue.

ASB Youth League - 2015 New Zealand’s most talented young footballers are set to test their mettle against each other in the ASB Youth League competition, which begins this weekend.

The 11-round 2015 national league kicks off with Heartland Wairarapa meeting Manawatu United in Masterton as defending champions Nelson Marlborough Falcons return to defend the crown they won last December in dramatic fashion on the final day of the season.

In the only change to the teams involved in 2014, the Wellington Phoenix join the predominantly U-20 league in place of the Wanderers SC side which competed in the recent versions of the competition.

The ASB Youth League serves as the development pathway towards the ASB Premiership for the country’s top young talent with a host of players making the transition into the top domestic competition in recent times including the likes of All Whites and Men’s U-20s representatives Clayton Lewis, Moses Dyer, Oliver Sail and Sam Brotherton.

Director Cam Mitchell says the ASB Youth League forms a key role in the development of the nation’s best players towards the highest level of the game.

“Over the last several years the ASB Youth League has provided a strong proving ground for our best young players as they look to progress towards the ASB Premiership and beyond,” Mitchell said.

“The players involved in the Men’s U-20 team which made history at the FIFA U-20 World Cup earlier this year broke through at a national level in this competition and we look forward to seeing the next crop of talented players step forward over the next few months.”

Mitchell added the inclusion of the Wellington Phoenix side – who will play as an Under-17 team – further strengthens the competition and the A-League club’s support structure.

“The Wellington Phoenix provide an important pathway towards professional football and their involvement in the ASB Premiership last year reinforced their key contribution to the overall strength of football in New Zealand.”

We love goals as much as you do.

Big goals, or small goals, they’re all successes to be celebrated. And because football is all about goals (and savings too of course) we’re very proud to support it at every level. New Zealand Football, Succeed on.
