Our Women's and Men's Prems teams had comfortable wins in their respective cup's and we look forward to our next opponents in these knock out tournaments.

Progress on the gym floor replacement is well advanced thanks to Colin, Robbie and their helpers and we look forward to supporting them as we can and thanks to those that assisted on Sunday morning.

The club mourns the loss of past president and life member Ernie Westeneng who recently passed away.

BRUMBIES | 12th Grade
Played Dunedin City Royals FC at Brockville
LOSS 2 - 4

The boys luckily managed to avoid the rain up at Brockville and surged to an early 2-0 lead uphill against Dunedin City, only to go into the break with scores even after a late fightback. Unfortunately DC carried their momentum over into the second half scoring an early (lucky) deflected own goal then a quick break away to go 4-2 up. Then parking the blue bus and adsorbing all that the Brumbies could throw at them. Even with the boys preferred down hill attacking and the majority of possession we were not able to add to the scoresheet. Player of the Day went to Liam Webb for his top quality organisation of the defensive players.
 
FILLIES | 13th Grade

BITS & BOBS
ERNIE JAMES WESTENENG
It is with extreme sadness we convey the news of Ernie’s passing to all club members and friends of the big fella. To Robyn and Ernie’s family we wish to express our sincerest condolences as we think of you at this time.

Ernest was at the heart of all of Roslyn Wakari’s endeavours and epitomised our clubs culture during the 80’s and 90’s. Ernie occupied almost every administrative post available, however it was between the posts that this extraordinary man left his most memorable mark.

The only known goalkeeper to score a goal from his own goalmouth punt on his beloved Ellis No2, probably the most celebrated goal in Roslyn history and involved players and supporters joining from the No1 ground as well.

The Man’s humour and open friendliness were always on display, he was not the shyest of lads but had a quiet confidence that was warm and welcoming to all… except strikers.

We will miss you Ernie, but will never forget.
 
Life Member.
President..  1992,1993,1994.
Secretary.. 1983, 1984, 1988.
Committee. 12 years.
Mason Trophy 1981, 1993.
Goalkeeper (goals for, 1)
 
Giddy up the West, love and peace from your Roslyn brothers and sisters.

SPONSOR HIGHLIGHT
With a nationwide branch network, Donaldson Brown are New Zealand’s largest provider of 100% transparent risk and insurance advice to kiwis and kiwi businesses.
 
Our commitment is to deliver unconflicted advice and value in a totally transparent manner to every single one of our customers. 
 
WHAT IS UNCONFLICTED ADVICE
Unconflicted advice is a new concept to the insurance industry that centres around removing commissions and product-based incentives, instead focusing on the best value and risk-based outcome for the customer.  This could mean less or no insurance depending on the balance sheet tolerance of the business.
 
The vast majority of commercial insurance advisors have a natural conflict of interest given they are remunerated as a percentage of the premiums from the products they sell. This is not directly linked to the value they deliver to their customer.  Income earned as a percentage of premiums (commissions) is not the right way to measure value.  Donaldson Brown removes all commissions from the premiums, then has a transparent fee-based conversation with the customer directly linked to the value we deliver.

Donaldson Brown, is not remunerated or incentivised by hidden fees or commissions (i.e. selling you more insurance product), instead we focus on having direct discussions around what a business should be doing to ensure that its balance sheet is appropriately protected without conflict of interest.
 
You deserve the right to measure the value your broker delivers.  Donaldson Brown give you this ability, whilst the vast majority hide this from you.
