So after completing the third season as manager of Waitakere United and for us, we book our spot into the OFC Champions League once again. So how did we do in performing this season.


This season was a good one for us as we did beat all of the competition bar Auckland City (twice) and Team Wellington (once) to end up in 2nd place overall on the standings. We also won the Chatham Cup for the second time after Vincent Kumar just got us over the line in what some would say a nailbiter.


This just confirmed the dominance of the top 3 as once again the same top 3 as last year. Any other day, we would have took the title. But we stayed in 2nd for what would be around 2/3 of the season as we confirmed an OFC spot.


The final 16 from the Chatham Cup and you can see from this that we had the much easier draw compared to our final opponents in Auckland where they had to take on two fellow NZFC clubs to get to the final. The rest is history they say as we took out the title.


So the club has stayed in the black throughout this season which is a relieve as I wanted a good run in the Chatham Cup which we did and with continental football on the rise, the money should be good.


You can easily see the players that I did use throughout the whole season and the player of the season for our club was Tony Foy and I don't blame them as he played brilliantly. Joel Cadigan on the other hand, I shouldn't have bought into our squad as he barely got any game time what so ever.

So I am one-third into the 2017/18 season of the New Zealand Football Championship and for me, I think it's looking good


As you can see it's been a good season with only the one lost, being against WaiBOP United where we struggled to get any shots at all. It was the same with the Auckland City but we were lucky to come out with a 2-0 victory.


So for our team, it does put the team into 4th place but really it's only a single point between the top 4 so any of us can take out the title and those spots in the OFC Champions League.


Compared to this time last year, our finances are looking good but the problem is that it is expected to go down which means we need to keep winning the Chatham Cup games and hopefully finishing high for the Football Championship.


You might see that we have brought in a new player with Joey Gibbs into our squad in hope we can release the Canadian in Foster. Well as you see, it didn't quite go to the plan that I was hoping. We have also brought Vitor in to strengthen our backline. Let's hope that it will pay off.

Good Luck for the whole challenge

So season four of the Hexagon Challenge as ended and how did my Waitakere United team went through the season.


You can see here that we would finish in fourth place overall which I did feel like was a good season considering that we were in sixth when we started to manage them. Add the fact that we also won the Chatham Cup and overall it was a good comeback for us.


The only real annoyance from this schedule was the game that we lost to Canterbury United (where we similar) and the Wanderers S.C. which was a goal fest. I do feel like though that maybe the Wanderers S.C. might become our bogey team as a loss and a draw against them would have been six easy points for us there but could only muster up one.


So the squad that I was given throughout the season and you can see the goals was shared around but our two main men of Kumar and Neblett scoring the most goals for our team.

So after the third season ended, I loaded the New Zealand league as I thought that if I am going to complete the OFC section, I need to do New Zealand. So I waited until a job came up and sure enough on December 16, 2016, I was offered the Waitakere United job which I accepted.



The squad that I was given was what I could say good but not great and wondering why the manager got the sack with my main man being Vincent Kumar who is only 17.



That was until I looked at the schedule and could see that they struggle to make an impact in defeating the lower teams as this is a team which finished in 3rd place the previous season. They were currently 6th.




The only problem for me is the finance situation which look like it might be in the red at the end of the season

Good Luck with the Hexagon Challenge, I'm also attempting the challenge and hope that we can complete it.

Well after completely forgetting about this website, I did delete the pentagon challenge page as I thought it would be better to go one step harder and go with a Hexagon Challenge. This meant that I have downloaded a couple of the Oceanian leagues and instead of going with the usual suspect of New Zealand, I thought I would change it up a little and go with the nation that is bordering my country. That is Papua New Guinea with the Unitech Lae side.

Anyway two seasons in and I got the team into the Oceania Champions League which will be my first experience in contential football.

So I thought I might try and complete the Pentagon Challenge as I haven't tried it on FM 15 so hopefully I will complete it that many haven't done.
