Match12 Feb 2029

Canterbury United sink to position 5

11 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Market12 Feb 2029

Alex Smith hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Canterbury United can pretend not to have heard.

Squad12 Feb 2029

Hassan Oumar says Canterbury United went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Canterbury United say no — this time

The offer from Team Wellington for Callum Lewis was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Only the photograph left for Winston Colvey

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Winston Colvey will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Canterbury United the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Liberato De Vries in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Canterbury United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A fracture rules Olanrewaju Ayinla out for 33 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Canterbury United will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match15 Jan 2029

Canterbury United sink to position 6

10 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Market15 Jan 2029

Dane Sutton asks to leave Canterbury United

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market15 Jan 2029

Team Wellington come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Canterbury United did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad15 Jan 2029

Liberato De Vries falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Michael Kirwan in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Canterbury United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Canterbury United supporters have found a favourite in Thomas Omole

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Thomas Omole has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match13 Jan 2029

Canterbury United see off Auckland City

Three points for Canterbury United, 2‑0 the final word against Auckland City in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad15 Jan 2029

The manager makes an example of Brandon McCallum

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
