ALPHA

THE WAIT IS OVER
It's been a minute since ALPHA last took to the pitch, but the team is back and ready to kick some balls! Starting off the 2019-20 summer season is the annual FootballFix tournament at QBE Stadium — can ALPHA keep up their unbeaten streak at this glorious venue? Rumour has it this is the biggest mixed tournament yet!

Kemp had this to say ahead of the big day:
"It's been a long time since we've taken to the pitch, but I'm excited to dust off my left foot and put it to good use. I'm also looking forward to wearing the new kit, it's not quite as bad as West Ham's colours, but it'll do."

When asked about the team line-up, team captain and box-to-box midfielder, Martin, said:
"We've got one or two new Alphas joining the squad this season in McQuoid and Marshall. Yes, it's true, we've had to break the bank to meet their salary demands — so here's hoping they can deliver or we might find ourselves in a bit of financial trouble before the season has even started!"

Alpha's first match kicks-off at 9am somewhere around those artifical pitches at QBE. Tune in today for updates, and go the All Blacks!

QBE IN THE BAG
Alpha polished off their first tournament of the 18/19 FootballFix Summer Series today! Unbeaten over the entire day, and unbeaten at QBE (period), the squad only conceded 2 goals the entire day and scored 19 in only 6 games!

Alpha stopper, Andrew Creevey, whilst losing a considerable amount of blood through his skinless knees, had this to say: "We did well and executed the gameplan perfectly, just how we trained for the last 12 months. Our sights are now set on 2019 and hopefully my knees will be healed by then ."

🥇 17/18 OVERALL CHAMPIONS, AGAIN 🥇
After a hard-fought 7-a-side footy campaign this summer, Alpha once again proved their worth — winning all 3 tournaments (Albany, Waiheke and Matakana) and thus being crowned overall FootballFix Summer Series champions once again!

Matakana's MOTM and the Series' MVP, Eamon Borer, had this to say of the summer campaign: "What can I say, it all feels pretty surreal to be honest! It's been two weeks and it still feels so... I'm, I'm speechless. It's a great time to be alive. Credit to the whole squad for consistently putting in a shift across all 3 tournaments. And of course, thanks to the fans, they kept us going in those tough games where our sunburn hurt more than our shins."

Alpha is looking to finish their summer off with another trophy in their Mixed 5-a-side league, where they're currently top of the table and unbeaten with 5 weeks remaining.

A huge shout out to all of our Alphas, our supporters, and communities! Until next summer... ✊⚽


17/18 Squad: Asher, Eamon, Cameron, Andrew, Jon, Alex, Daniel, Stacey, Sian, Connie, Lisa, Molly, Casey, Aneka, and Arabella.
