these players will no doubt represent the federation strongly in the near future. The Central Manawatu National League men’s competed well in 2015 and secured a semi-final position for the first time in the team’s history. Yet again Hawke’s Bay have successfully organised Term 4 futsal competitions. This year over 100 teams have participated at various levels. This is a testament to the hard work of the Hawke’s Bay Futsal and Central Football development staff this year. The Hawke’s Bay leagues are a great feeder for the National League men’s team. This young team has played some amazing futsal this season under the highly respected coach Chris Greatholder.

With the calendar year coming to an end, the development staff are turning their attention to 2016 in what is shaping up to be a very exciting year for futsal in the Central Federation. With our programmes being a lot more streamlined and coordinated it will hopefully lead the sport of futsal into a great space for future development. We will hope to use the Futsal Whites activity at the Oceania Futsal Championships and World Cup (if all goes well with qualification) as promotion for our community programmes. www.hbfutsal.org.nz www.centralfootball.co.nz
