McDonald’s have supported junior football around the country through the McDonald’s Skill Zone. At Fencibles United AFC, it's been fantastic to hear from a significant number of coaches that have implemented this program across many junior and youth teams. Coaches have found the program both easy to manage and rewarding to the skill base of their players. Kids have enjoyed it too, as they aim to complete skill challenges to earn Bronze, Silver and Gold sticker awards, resulting in another certificate to proudly pin to their bedroom wall.

Fencibles United AFC kicked off the 2014 season firing on all cylinders after signing a sponsorship agreement with three local McDonald’s restaurants.
The sponsorship, which is split between Ti Rakau 500, Botany Town Centre and Pakuranga McDonald’s, will provide the club with various forms of support, managing annual running costs and increasing fundraising opportunities.
Fencibles Vice Chairman Paul Burns believes the sponsorship will be hugely beneficial to the club and its 1,600 playing members.

Chairmans Report Role of Honour
The Annual General Meeting for 2013 was held on Monday 9th December 7.30pm at the Riverhills Park Club Rooms.
Thank you to those members who took the time to come and review the past season and contribute to the future direction of the club.
Robust debate was had on a number of matters and many good suggestions were made from the floor which the new committee will take on board as we move into planning for the new season and beyond.
The committee is always open to new ideas and very keen to have more members contribute to the successful running of the club. Please do not hesitate to contact anyone on the committee or a section club captain if you have a suggestion that will assist the club to run more successfully from a football or financial perspective, however we may also need your help and expertise to implement as the committee is often bogged down with day to day issues that arise.
The 2014 season is going to be exciting for the club with the first full year of utilising our Director of Coaching Roger Wilkinson and the new William Green facility. Planning is already underway as to how we best get support out to our volunteer coaches in 2014, which in turn will help all members in their development as footballers.
Have a safe holiday break and we look forward to seeing you all in 2014.
