Local bakery was shut today when walking to get my pie. Apparently a big water leak sprung over night. No pie today. Hoping for a miracle tomorrow. Cheers David T

Didnt realise Phil Ifil is now the Olympic manager. Great season ahead I’m looking forward to it. Cheers David T

Local bakery back open. Happy days haha

Only gone and tweaked my back cutting the lawns today. Cannot move. Cheers David T

Have heard miles Palmer is coming to the central league again. Has had more clubs that tiger woods. Cheers David T

Central league gossip spicing up. Definitely looking forward to the new season and getting to a few grounds this year. Need to get my Corolla a new WOF and Hawkes bay and Wellington will be on the agenda. Cheers David T

Gut is all over the place this morning so won’t be having my pie. Cheers David T

Had gastro the last week. Was rough as. Let’s just say no solids was leaving my body haha! Anyway on the mend and buzzing for the New Zealand Football 🇳🇿 leagues getting started next week 😍 (my grandson just taught me about emojis lol) cheers David T

Was brilliant to watch got a bit teary eyed on the last ball. Well done izzy. Cheers David T

What game to go to this weekend? It’s a toss up between Petone FC v Stop Out Sports Club or Miramar Rangers AFC v Wellington Phoenix 🔥 will finish me lunch or tomato sandwich and plan the weekend ahead. Can’t wait cheers David T

Wow some pitch. Will make sure I get to a couple games this season. Looks like you be built a good squad. And what a facility. Beautiful. Cheers David T.

Leaving palmy now to get down to Petone FC v Stop Out Sports Club with my first game of the new season and what a game it could be. 2 new sides and some new management also. I’m going for a close game but goals abundance. See you all down there. Cheers David T

Half time at the petone game. Both teams impressing me so far. Stop out with 2 nicely worked goals. Petone was on top for a while just not marking for the second. Enjoying it. Abit chilly. Cheers David T.

Penalty missed at petone but quickly tapped in after. Game on 2-2. Cheers David T.

Well done Petone FC. Enjoyed the game today. Probably the deserved winners in overall game play. I said there would be goals today and boy was I right. Finally home. Had to stop at side of the road 3 times. Let’s just say the bladder ain’t built like it used to be. Cheers David T

Catching up on the results today. I knew Miramar would be dangerous this year but didn’t expect Bueno to score that many in the whole season. Let alone one game. Fair play silenced me. Great facilities down there and looking forward to getting to a game already. Cheers David T

Big one tomorrow ⚽️ Thirsty Whale 🐳 Napier City Rovers v Olympic. I’m hoping to get down there but just trying to organise travel arrangements with the wife. She moaning to me now that Im having some New Zealand Lager (I know it’s cheap lol) and got some nuggets in the oven. Cheers David T d

Sorry for the silence over last few weeks. Had my hernia removed. Abit sore but hoping to get back into the football swing of things. Some crazy results at weekend catching up having my hot chocolate this morning. Hope everyone is well. Cheers David T

Hey David’s wife here. David unfortunately passed away during the early hours of this morning. He loved his football and family and found X a nice place to catch up with his football. Thanks for all the interactions with him if you ever did. RIP David.

Good morning everyone. I am so Overwhelmed with the love and support shown to David and our family. If I was more tech savvy I would reply to all you amazing people. As david used to tell me, “THE LIGHT YOU BRING INTO THIS WORLD IS BEAUTIFUL, IRREPLACEABLE, AND NEEDED” Dorris.
