All players wishing to be considered for the teams MUST attend these trials. If for any reason you are unable to then you will need to contact Scott Harrison on mobile 021 660 846 or email him at scott.harrison@skope.co.nz to advise you unavailability.

For the 2012 season we will be selling Fencibles gear online. This will include playing shirts, shorts, socks and jackets. We will not be selling boots. The site is being developed at the moment and is expected to be available mid February. We will no longer have Fencibles gear available at Champ Sports stores.
You will be asked to order and pay online using the clubhub system similar to the registration process. Once the order is complete and paid in full your order will be sent to Lotto/Scoresportswear who will courier the gear to you directly. This system has been used successfully by other clubs and we believe it will be easier for our members.
We will be selling our normal Lotto brand gear, the same as you would have purchased through Champ Sports in the past. However you should remember that last season there was a change to the playing strip, shorts style and jacket colour and style. We will be continuing with the 2011 season gear in 2012 and as our standard going forward.
We hope to have samples available at Riverhills on a Monday afternoon from Mid February and will place a notice on the website once this is confirmed.

We are delighted to confirm to our members that last night the Howick Local Ward of the Auckland Council voted unanimously to proceed with the project to convert the William Green Domain to an artificial surface. This work will be undertaken at the completion of the 2012 season for delivery at the commencement of the 2013 playing season. Immediate work will commence in the planning, design consultation and consenting of the project. The committee would like to thank the Howick Ward for its consideration of this proposal and for the work they have done to research it. We would also like to personally acknowledge Max Christiansen our Vice Chairman, whose drive and vision for an East Auckland football future got this project off the ground.
In addition to this we would like to also note that the Howick Local Ward has approved additional funding for improvements to local sports fields, we will be working with them alongside other codes to ensure that improvements to the drainage of the Lloyd Elsmore Playing surfaces are part of this expenditure.
Wilson Hawes (Chairman)
We would like to point out to all members that all Council owned facilities, including open spaces such as parks and sports grounds are required to be smoke free. This includes all areas in the Riverhills and William Green Clubroom facilities (including the outside decks) As we operate on council owned facilities we are required to abide by this ruling and would ask all members and visitors to respect it.
