Coach's Corner

Two weeks into the season and thankfully two wins out of two, so we have to be pleased with the start, but that’s all it is, a start. I have been involved with this great game too long to get carried away at this early stage. The players have worked extremely hard since we reported back, so they deserve a great deal of credit for the effort they have put in, and the results they have achieved.

We have changed the squad quite considerably from last season and after two games I am more convinced than ever we have made some shrewd signings that over the next few seasons will be a great asset to this football club. I’m sure those of you who attended the first game in our new home “House Park”, were as excited as the players, I honestly believe this move will help the club move forward both on and off the field. We entertain Rochester this Sunday, and having watched their first two games, I know if we fall below the standards we have set ourselves we will be in for a very difficult afternoon. Their performances have deserved more than one point, from two very difficult away games.

Finally I would like to draw everybody’s attention to a Charity game on Wednesday April 28th, 7.30 pm. The opponents will be the Haiti National team who are in Texas to prepare for their upcoming friendly with Argentina. All proceeds from the game will go to the Haiti relief fund. Having visited shortly before the disaster, they certainly need all the help they can get. The Haiti Football Association was decimated in the disaster and whatever we can do to help will be a start in the right direction. It will also be an opportunity for all the Aztex staff to meet up again with a couple of players who went to England with us at the end of last season. Ednerson and Vaniel who have both travelled with the Haiti party were an absolute joy to work with and a credit to Haiti football. Whatever words I use at this moment seem inadequate, but I know I speak for everybody connected with the Aztex, in wishing the people of Haiti our best for the future. I look forward to seeing you all at the House.
See you soon, take care
Adrian.
