We are not sure when Issue 7 will be out, the draws for the next couple of weeks are still to be confirmed by NRF so we are unable to confirm the next NRFL home game

4 Welcome to another issue of “The Ave” - this weekend we feature the visits of Albany United and Hamilton Wanderers in NRFL action, with Albany at Michaels Ave on Saturday to take on the Men’s First Team, with Hamilton visiting on Sunday to play our Women’s First Team - a Warm welcome to both those teams, the players, coaches and supporters.

Last weekend was a bit of a watershed moment for the Ellerslie supporters as the Men’s and Women’s First Team locked in their first wins of the season, with the Men’s First Team taking maximum points in a grudge match against Bucklands Beach, while the Women’s team visited Auckland United’s brand new clubrooms and followed up a first round draw with a win - a great set of results. For the rest of the club this weekend is the first full round of games as the Tamaki League and Junior Football along with the rest of the youth football kicks off this weekend, which is pretty exciting seeing as it feels so long ago that we had a jam packed Michaels Ave. Please don’t forget to sign in when you visit Michaels Ave - while covid is not in the community you can’t be too safe so please take advantage of the QR codes scattered around the park. Last week we announced the new sponsorship from Barfoot and Thompson Ellerslie as the clubs newest major sponsor - I just wanted to thank Andy and the team at the Ellerslie office for their support of local sports, cheers guys!

16 MEN'S FIRST TEAM: Boys Lock Bucklands Beach Out in Bottom of the Table Battle Round 7 of the Men’s NRFL Division 1 saw Ellerslie take on Bucklands Beach at The Ave on Saturday afternoon. Only one place above Ellerslie on the table, this game was shaping up to be an important one as the Ponies were on the hunt for their first win to pull them off the bottom of the standings. In this game of importance, for various reasons, our men in red showed up for it. Two goals in the first half was enough to get Ellerslie over the finish line and secure all three points, finally bringing themselves off the bottom of the table. After a heavy loss last week, the boys went through a few changes to prepare for their fixture against Bucklands Beach. A formation change saw some of the players move around to accommodate. Kyryl Bolharyn remained in goal, but the four in front of him got a switch up. Jordan Bresler came into the side for the first time this season, off back of consistent performances with the Reserves. Josh Torrens pushed back into his earlier role as a centre back with Captain Seb Poelman, while Rei Ogawa-Bracey retained his spot at right full back. Kojo Norku moved out to the wing, bringing Andre Munro-Wilson into the middle of the park to pair with Rory Kelly. Josh Lai took up the other wing and Ryan Morrow held his spot up top. This made way for fan-favourite Rowan Corbett to come back into the starting XI for the first time this season, capping off a physically strong partnership at the front. Reserve keeper Jonathan Davidson, Aalok Paudel, Adam Scott, Kosei Hagino and Soshei Monju made up the bench. Fred de Jong had another week in the technical area as Dave Edmonson’s stand down period continued. Following the Reserves match, Ellerslie welcomed Bucklands Beach and their coach to the turf in near perfect playing conditions. With both teams severely out of form, this was anyone’s for the taking. Right from the first whistle, the Ponies came out firing. The lads were happy to send long balls over the top and pin Bucklands Beach in their own half, a tactic that seemed to work as the away side struggled to deal with the constant pressure of Corbett and Morrow. When Ellerslie weren’t sending long balls, they employed the nifty skills of Lai and Norku to steam down their respective sides, cleverly linking with the middle pairing to launch attack after attack. Bucklands Beach did well to absorb the constant pressure, but you could feel that Ellerslie were inching towards success. In the early stages, the visitors fell victim to our 20-minute injury curse when their keeper Nicholas Burke went down with an injury. With him down and out, the opposition technical area had to look to their bench and bring on reserve keeper Riley Pullar. Just three minutes later, Ellerslie capitalised on the uncertainty at the back. The Ponies found their first goal through the individual brilliance of Kelly and a clinical finish from Morrow. Our men in red were happy to retain possession in the build up, patiently knocking the ball around, which is great to see in itself as this patience has been lacking in recent weeks. Poelman played the ball into Norku, who laid it off for a waiting Kelly. He beat one player, and then a second as he took himself towards the corner of our attacking half. Kelly kept his head though, and waited for the right opportunity to play a flat ball across the top of the 18 yard to a waiting Morrow. The Number 10 caught the defender flat-footed, and with his back towards goal let the ball roll across his body, before turning and taking a touch. His shot was low and hard and Pullar could only watch as it found its mark in the bottom corner.

17 Ellerslie didn’t ease off on the pressure following the celebrations, continuing to pin Bucklands Beach in their own half. The visitors could only keep them out for so long, and in the 39th minute, Corbett got himself on the scoresheet. Play started from a throw-in inside the Ponies half, as Bresler picked out Morrow with a long one. Morrow's unmarked check to get the ball meant he was able to take a touch, turn and lob it over the back two for Corbett to run onto. Both defenders thought Corbett was offside and basically stopped chasing, but the forward had timed his run well. It was 50/50 as the keeper came out, but Corbett managed to just get a toe to it. With Bucklands Beach appearing to give up, Corbett was able to collect the ball and slowly jog towards goal before firing it into the net from a few yards yard out. Unfortunately Ellerslie didn’t get out of the half unscathed, as Torrens went down in added time with an injury. De Jong was forced to substitute him out, bringing on Scott to replace him as centre back. Aside from that, it was a dream opening half for the Ponies as they undoubtedly looked like the better team. The second half was slightly more even as the away side tried to claw themselves back into the game. Purely to make things interesting, Ellerslie gifted Bucklands Beach with a goal in the 65th minute after a horror mistake from Bolharyn. Having had a near-perfect game up until this point, it was sad to see the keeper make a mistake I’m sure he’ll be disappointed about. Seemingly from nothing, substitute Jayden Holmes hit an ambitious shot on target from outside the box. It floated straight towards Bolharyn for a textbook catch. It wasn’t meant to be though, as it slipped straight through his fingertips and into the back of the net. The goal gave the visitors hope, but Ellerslie were up for the challenge and locked them out for the remainder of the game. Injury time seemed to go on forever, but there was a collective sigh of relief and buzz of excitement when Mark Fleming finally blew the last whistle. The Ponies had done enough to secure victory and get themselves off the bottom of the table. Having battled a long list of injuries and other changes, the boys toughed it out and did what they needed to do. Hopefully this marks the beginning of their climb up the ladder. The lads take on Albany United at The Ave next week—it’s going to be a challenging fixture but we’re sure they’ll be up for it. Media Picks Man of The Match: Ryan Morrow: The Ellerslie Number 10 gets our pick after a vote between the media person and a few supporters. Ever since he earned his starting spot, Morrow has been relentless up top with a work rate that’s near unmatched. We’re stoked he finally got to reap the rewards with a goal, an assist and sweet, sweet victory. Special mentions: Hard to pick just one as you can’t fault anyone on the pitch - Kelly and Munro-Wilson were vital in the midfield, Norku really got to showcase his class and and quick feet out wide, and Poelman and Bresler had almost mistakeless games at the back. A real team effort today.

20 WOMEN'S FIRST TEAM: Ponies Don't Play Around and Prevail in 3-1 Victory After some tough results in the first full round of games, the Women's First Team have got off to a cracking start as we enter the second round of matches in the NRFL Women's Premier competition. A 2-2 draw with Auckland United the first time they played each other meant this game was anyone's for the taking. Ellerslie showed up and showed out though as their three goals were enough to seal victory away at Keith Hay Park. Head Coach Ryan Shiffman kept the same starting XI as last week, with Erin Simperingham between the sticks. Anita Trudgen impressed at left back and kept her spot there next to centre back pairing Kim Oosterbeek and Courtney Rowse. Tayla Hawes remained on the right. Our strong midfield three held the centre through Cat Pretty, Leigh Aitken and Maddy McCormick. Kim Mesias got her third start of the season, sitting between Annabelle Pakieto and Britney Cunningham-Lee. The only difference this week was the bench, as Kat Gow came back into the squad after being unavailable last week. Holly Marx got her first call up to the First Team and sat on the side with Charli Collard and reserve keeper Lauren McKenzie. From the first whistle you could tell the women had not come to mess around. Lacking a little in recent weeks, the Ponies came out with an intensity to win every ball and every challenge. They gave away a few fouls but it was good to see that physicality from everyone on the pitch. Both teams shared possession and enjoyed their fair share of attacking opportunities. It was a tight contest and the first half remained scoreless going into the break. Ellerslie had come close numerous times, and you could feel them inching towards success. The second spell started much like the first, but after only six minutes, Ellerslie were able to execute one of their chances. Pakieto steamed down the left towards the baseline, before standing her defender up like a road cone and dribbling along the baseline closing the space between her and the goal. Thinking she'd done too much, she proved us wrong and weaved her way through another defender before sending in a flat ball across the goal face. It passed two waiting Ponies, but Mesias popped up at the back post to calmly finish into an open net. Elation from the away side was short-lived as Auckland United got a goal back straight away. So quickly in fact, the media team missed it as they were still tweeting about the Ponies goal. A play by play from a supporter tells us that a ball was flicked in behind our backline, and an unlucky deflection meant Simperingham had to come out to deal with Bree Johnson. Johnson just managed to get a toe to it and was able to calmly put it away. And just like that, it was 1-1. The quick change in scoreline didn't deter women in red though as they continued to throw everything they had at the home side. They didn't have to wait long as the 60th minute brought about an outlet. A handball in the box meant Alec Couchman pointed to the PK spot in Ellerslie's favour. Aitken, who hasn't missed from the spot for the Ponies, stepped up to take it. There was never any doubt from anyone as she put away a tidy penalty to get the girls up 2-1.

21 Having conceded almost instantly after the last goal, Ellerslie shut up shop and made sure Auckland United couldn't break them down a second time. Try as they might, Ellerslie were relentless and didn't give the home team an inch. A double substitution bolstered the visitors energy as Kat Gow and Charli Collard came on to replace Kim Mesias and Courtney Rowse. A goal to Cat Pretty in the 76th minute seemed to be enough to close out the game. She collected the ball at the top of the box after Auckland United fail to clear away a corner, before nailing it into the top left of the net, in what was a very clinical finish from our Skipper. Credit to the home side, who tried their hardest to claw themselves back into the game, but even bigger credit to the away side who tried their hardest to keep them out. In the end, it swung Ellerslie's way and the game ended at 3-1. A very welldeserved win to the Ponies, and something they've been building towards for weeks. The women now look to their next fixture, which is a 3pm home game against Hamilton Wanderers. The last time these two teams faced off, Ellerslie conceded two goals in the dying stages to lose 2-1. They'll definitely be on the hunt for back-to-back wins, as picking up three points could push them into the top four. Make sure you come on down to The Ave and support in what will be another cracking weekend of football.

Media Picks Woman of the Match: Annabelle Pakieto: She was back to her best, showcasing her pace and skill down the left wing. Her standout moment was when she nutmegged and broke the defenders ankles all in one go during the second half. Hands down knew she had our pick after that. Special mentions: Trudgen looked at home in fullback and it was great to see her confidence grow enough to take on players with her pace and strength. Pretty was dominant as always and Mesias scored her second goal in three games for another good performance.
