200 games and counting


Mark Manzone sizes up a free kick
 Mark Manzone marked his 200th appearance for Wainuis' first team in last Saturdays loss to Upper Hutt.  200 first team appearances is a huge achievement for anybody and according to the match programe from Satyrdays game it's a club career that began back in 1990 with a 9-0 victory against Newlands to help the team win the old Super League 2 in an undefeated season.

The club congratulated him with a new blazer with the clubs crest on the pocket, presented to him by our local hero Ralph Chenery who has over 350 first team appearances to his name.  I bagged my own momento of the occasion with an autographed matchday programme from the man himself, thanks Mark!!
