Our condolences to Marist, who's seesawing relationship with Capital Premier continues, and good luck to Miramar Rangers, who will play off to stay in this league.

Go Sharks!

Congratulations to Wairarapa United on winning Capital Premier 2008. You proved by your results that you were the most consistent team in the league, (winning 12 games our of 18, scoring the most in the league with 48 goals, and conceding the least with only 19 against).

We wish you all the best of luck as you go into your play off games and hope you get to enter another team into the Central league from the Wellington Region. We don't want to see you back in Capital Premier next season.

To Island Bay supporters, a very big thanks from all of the Premier Squad and Management Staff. It was a season which showed great promise yet ended in under achievement, but we'll be back again next year, and look to keep the positives (we played some great football, had some great young talent, and showed amazing heart at times) and eliminate any negatives for Season 2009.

To all the teams still with games to play in their seasons, we hope the days fine up and you get as much football in as possible.

To those teams looking to win their leagues and/or gain promotion, Island Bay Premier wishes you the very best of luck. Play your hearts out, battle for everything, and aim for the proverbial stars (actually aim for the net). You've already done the hard yards, now it's time for the final push!

Go Sharks!

Up 1-0 within 2 minutes, only to be 2-1 down at half-time and absolutely thrashed 8-3 at the end of 90 minutes by a waterside team desperate to stay up, and who's commitment to that task, coupled with some great touches constantly overpowered our midfield and defense and led to some great goals (for them).

It was a sad way to farewell Petero from NZ football in '08, but the coaches, club and particularly the players who played alongside him, wish him all the best for the future and feel privileged to have been able to play alongside him during his short time here.

We hope that the few people who made Petero's life in NZ extremely difficult do not linger in his memory too long and are quickly replaced with all the good reasons why the rest of us stay in the country and also play our football in NZ: good friends, good living standards, and a guaranteed right to be kept free from persecution, entrapment and extortion.

On Saturday we play Upper Hutt in our last home game of the season, where we'll look to get some dignity back and make up for our last HORRIBLE performance.

Go Sharks!
