Ricki Herbert at Maidstone Park

What a spectacular day at Maidstone Park Turf!

There was something for everyone at our Family Fun Day on Sunday with special guest, All Whites coach Ricki Herbert.  Ricki put 60 of our budding soccer superstars through their paces, in three different age groups throughout the day.  The kids, aged 9-14 were just buzzing at the chance to be coached by Ricki and as one parent put it, 

“my son enjoyed himself, the chance to meet such a sporting legend was brilliant.”

There were bouncy castles for the littlies, spot prizes, raffles and competitions, with the “Crossbar Challenge” a spectator favourite. Congratulations to all the winners, with a special mention for our 13th Grade’s Jack Mawdesley.  Jack had spent the week at New Zealand Football’s National Talent Centre, for the very best kids in his age group – and put his skills to good use on Sunday as one of the winners in the Crossbar Challenge.  Awesome skills!

And even the sunshine turned up to show the new facility at it’s absolute finest!

Thanks to Dan and the UHCF Marauders for organising the event, and to the local businesses who donated prizes, particularly Lifestyle Gym.
