The power of football!

Nelson Bays Football and Tasman United are proud to announce a partnership that could

change the whole football environment in the Top of the South Island.

NBF has been approved as a community partner and benefactor of NextGen Energy, a new and

unique Electricity supply company who are operating on a “not for profit” basis in our region.

Check them out at http://nextgen.energy

What do you have to do?

- It’s simple… just sign up as a NextGen customer and enjoy lower power costs for

your household or business (with no price increases guaranteed for 3 years).

What does Football get?

- NextGen will establish a fund from profits which will benefit charitable and not for

profit organisations, and NBF will be able to apply for a grant from them to subsidise

costs of football in the region.

- A royalty in relation to every single account will be paid to NBF.

Having worked with the company already, we know it saves you money! And we encourage all

those who want the sport to grow and provide further opportunities for our younger players

to sign across their electricity supply to NextGen. Either switch online at the NextGen website,

or contact Clive Beaumont at Nelson Bays Football on 03 547 5600 for more information.

Proud to be the Naming Right Sponsor

of Nelson Pine LVL Tasman United

General Manager’s Report… Today is the first of our remaining 4 home games to be held at Saxton

Field. The council have done a good job getting the pitch up to National

League standards, and the Nelson Suburbs Football clubrooms and facilities are also of a

very high standard. I warmly welcome you on behalf of the players and committee of

Tasman United, and hope you enjoy a great game of football.

Last week’s result didn’t go to plan, but I know the boys are determined to make amends

today and are focused on securing the 3 points so they don’t fall any further behind the

play-off positions.

As always, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all those behind the scenes that

make these home games so special, and the work undertaken by the TASMAN United

committee to ensure the viability and sustainability of the club cannot be underestimated.

I acknowledge our sponsors, for without their support we cannot do what we are doing,

and the goodwill extended by our major sponsors, I hope, is appreciated across the region.

Our major sponsors Nelson Pine LVL, Sprig and Fern Brewery and Bayleys, deserve

the full support of this community in their business endeavours as they show such support

to community teams like Tasman United. But that is not to forget our other sponsors who

are also deserving of mention; Football Unlimited, Plus4 Insurance, Absolute Energy, NZME,

NextGen Energy, Bowater Honda, BMG, BCM, The Sign Shop, Kahurangi Estate, Nelson Golf

Club, Hamish Fletcher Lawyers, Nelson Weekly, Nelson College, Scott Construction and

Waimea Print Express, who all contribute to the cause wholeheartedly and considerably.

There are also the team partner businesses, who help immensely with the well-being of

the squad, who also need a mention today – USL Medical, Telfers Electrical, Dutch Rusk

Ltd, Powerade, Domino’s Pizza, Snap Fitness, McDonald’s Richmond, and Subway. Thank

you for all your support.

A warm welcome is extended to our visitors from Hamilton Wanderers today, I know they

will appreciate the facilities and home team hospitality either side of the game.

Please enjoy, and Go Tasman!!

Coach’s comments… A warm welcome to Ricki, and his players and staff from Hamilton

Wanderers.

It is evident that they are a much-improved team and will be a very dangerous opponent to

us this weekend.

We are hurting, there is no doubt about it, and I’d like to apologise to our great supporters

and everybody involved with the franchise for our performance against Canterbury. We

know we are better than that, but we have to make sure that we play at our upmost best

every game, which obviously wasn’t the case last weekend! I know the players will do all

they possibly can to get a result this weekend and show the quality and the character of

this squad.

Your support is respected and appreciated, and now our challenge is to show that we are

worthy of it.

All the best to both teams today, and please enjoy yourselves.

Regards, Davor Tavich (Head Coach)
