Christchurch Football Club: Div One Trophy Winners Again in 2010
Monday 23rd August
What a weekend for the Christchurch Football Club. On Saturday Div Three win their final for the second year on the trot and Div Two put up a valiant fight before going down in a close hard fought battle with New Brighton. Div, Three, Div Two party well into the night (along with our visitors from Petone), into the next morning and continue thru the Sunday. Then the big one! A great day dawned, the scene was set, a big crowd in at Rugby Park and Div One demolish Burnside to be crowned Grand Champions for the second year running. Already on a high from the AB’s great win in South Africa Sunday’s don’t come much better.
A grand crowd gathered at Westminster Street. The Burnside boys, gracious in defeat turned up to a man and the mighty Christchurch side pas piped in to a rousing oration. The celebrations continued long and hard through the night and into the mandatory “Manic Monday”.
What a year it has been. One as a club e should all be extremely proud of as it is we who set the standards. Our challenge is however “BTB” : Better than Before.
Winning a final such as this is always a magnificent occasion and one worthy of great celebration but alas generally it’s also time to say good bye (not for good) to members of the group. Last Sunday marked Brad Mooar’s last game as Div One coach and the retirement of Nick (Norge) Martin).
