The main purpose of the visit was to see the Phoenix play – they have had a couple of home games away from Wellington as the stadium had other commitments. Noreen and Jenny came down for the game which was held at Lancaster Park.
They have been upgrading the facilities in preparation for next year’s rugby world cup. Although only half full, the attendance of nearly 20,000 was a record for a NZ club football match.
It wasn’t the best of games and the Phoenix were lucky to win 1 nil. They are in with a chance of making the playoffs which will be the first time for them.Denise and I did a couple of walks, which I’ll blog separately. Meanwhile here are a few pictures from a barbecue Denise held with us, her boys and Janie and two of hers.
