Wellington United started the 2019 Ultra Central League on Saturday with a completely new team after the ending of the Joint Venture with the Wellington Phoenix. Key to the rebuild is the singing of the midfield trio of Manyumow Achol, Owen Smith & Cam Burrell.
Manyumow (Manny) Achol arrives at United from Lower Hutt City where he made six appearances last season, before that he was at Wellington Olympic for two seasons where he made 32 appearances and scored 5 goals for their Central League and Capital Premier teams. Manny is described by United coach, Rapha Christians, as one of the most exciting U20 prospects in the country and he doesn’t believe we have seen everything he can do yet. Manny says he came to United to help the club and coach Rapha out, “Rapha is a really good guy and is organising a few things for me so it would only be fair to do something for him in return”. Manny knows that building a team from scratch means it won’t be an easy season for United, but he committed to the club early when there weren’t many others around and says “it’s been great to see the United team grow each training and numbers getting bigger, which is great for the team and club”
Cam Burrell and Owen Smith both originally hail from Taranaki. Cam, a NZ Secondary Schools rep who spent time at Hamilton Wanderers last season is looking forward to the opportunity to play Central League for Wellington United saying “I’m looking forward to testing myself and helping United achieve a respectable position in the league”
Owen Smith played 17 games and scored 2 goals for United last season when he was a member of the Phoenix Academy. He also played 12 National Youth League and 20 National League games for the Phoenix. He said “I’m looking forward to playing in a new environment for Wellington United and can’t wait for the season to start”

I beeped my horn and said ‘you should not be parked there it’s dangerous for us drivers we can’t see oncoming cars’ and he ignored and went back to reading his paper. Three cars nearly crashed into my car because I could not see any clear way because the driver was parked on yellow lines, blocking the view of the cars coming into Miramar Avenue heading East, and I had children in the car. Calvin OR whoever from the regional council looking after the buses - GREAT TRAINING! PLEASE ADVISE YOUR DRIVERS NOT PARK ON YELLOW LINES TO WAIT FOR THEIR NEXT TRIP - IT WILL CAUSE A CAR ACCIDENT WHICH MAY RESULT TO A LOSS IN LIFE BECAUSE OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE

Monday 1 April 2019
Wellington United Diamond's game against Petone in the Kelly Cup Bowl on Saturday saw Sarah Alder make her 100th appearance for the club in a comfortable 2-0 win. We have playing records for our family of clubs since 1968 and Sarah joins the likes of Jeff Strom, Malcolm Dunford, Billy Harris & John Barry and around 40 others who have made a century of appearances. Sarah is only the second women to achieve this feat, the other being current Women's club captain Sandy Cumpstone.
Sarah started playing football when she was just 6 years old, when a friend asked if she would play in his team. She played in juniors at Waterside Karori and Onslow before joining Wellington United in 2012. Having several friends already at the club and knowing the coach, Guillermo Schiltenwolf helped make her decision, while the year on year progress and improvement and the general family vibe of the club has kept her here.
Diamonds coach, Guille says "Seeing a player like Sarah reaching her 100th game for the club makes me absolutely happy and proud. She is one of the 6-7 players that trusted on us back in 2012, she is one of the main pillars of this team. She understand what a family is, what it does really means. What it means to be loyal to our family thank you Sarah for everything you have done and keep doing for the team-for another 100 games"
Sarah originally was a striker but in 2016 Guille moved her into the Left Back position and she set about making it her own. It was the season she says she really felt she came into her own in the team. It is also the season she cites as one of her main highlights as the Diamonds won the Women's Central League for the first time ever. Another highlight was last season's Kate Sheppard Cup quarter final win over Wairarapa United, which they won 3-1 after going down 1-0 and got the club into the semi-final, the furthest they had ever been in that competition. Unfortunately she was unable to play in the semi-final due to being in Kazakhstan representing NZ Universities in her other passion, Futsal.
While many footballers also play Futsal, Sarah has excelled at both, particularly Futsal, being named Capital Football player of the year for Futsal in 2018 and also winning international honours with the MZ Universities and the Futsal Ferns.
Sarah, who has scored 34 goals in her 100 appearances, embodies the team and family atmosphere of the club and is reluctant to single out individual's when asked who are the best she has played with, eventually naming Michaela Robertson, Francesca Grange and new arrival Emma Main among the best and Football Fern Sarah Gregorius as one of the toughest opponents she has faced in her 100 games.
Congratulations on 100 games Sarah, and here's to the next 100

This, our 5th Treasure Hunt, is a part of Neighbours Day Aotearoa - we're celebrating it a little later as there have been so many other local events on in the recent weeks. Plus we want to wind down summer with a happy occasion.
The date is Sunday 7th April, from 2pm (registering at the Hub 24 Elizabeth Street), finishing with a sausage sizzle, music and spot prizes at Innermost Gardens from 4pm.
Our theme for this year's event is "Kia Ora Neighbour" - encouraging people to say Kia Ora to each other every day, to be inclusive, welcoming and inviting.
For those of you who have never participated before here is a quick rundown of what to expect:
- A location is marked on a map with an accompanying clue - this is handed out when registering at the start of the Treasure Hunt (at The Hub from 2 pm.)
- Individuals or groups make their way around each (or some depending on ability and accessibility) of the locations.
- At each station, you partake in a little activity.
- You then receive a stamp or sticker on their map to say you have visited that location.
- The final Station is at Innermost Gardens where we will finish the day with a sausage sizzle and music from the Mighty Ukes ukulele band.
We have many great local venues and groups joining us on the day, Innermost Gardens, Quakers, Mt Victoria Historical Society, Mt Victoria Residents Association, Mt Victoria Bush Regeneration Group, Predator Free, St Josephs Church and Rebicycle Ekerua with their Bicycle Rodeo.
Lots of fun things for friends, family and neighbours to do together.
