Marked for Monty Tuiloma

Squad27 Dec 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Clayton Kirwan

60 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Canterbury United lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad27 Dec 2027

A day Callum Fenton will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings27 Dec 2027

Francis Colvey, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.70

A mark of 7.70 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match25 Dec 2027

Callum Fenton sends Canterbury United past Waitakere United

It finished 4‑3, and it was Callum Fenton’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Canterbury United.

Squad27 Dec 2027

Tempers go at Canterbury United

Jamie Hughes was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match25 Dec 2027

7 goals as Canterbury United and Waitakere United go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Canterbury United and Waitakere United, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Player ratings27 Dec 2027

A masterclass from Callum Fenton

Marked 9.47 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The terraces27 Dec 2027

Canterbury United supporters have found a favourite in Francis Colvey

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Francis Colvey 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.

Squad27 Dec 2027

Monty Tuiloma signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Monty Tuiloma commits to Canterbury United for another 3 years.

Squad13 Dec 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Clayton Kirwan

74 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Canterbury United lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match11 Dec 2027

WaiBOP United punish Canterbury United for switching off

3 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Francis Reid will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at Canterbury United escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.

Player ratings13 Dec 2027

Francis Reid scores twice — 8.37

Two goals and a mark of 8.37 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match13 Dec 2027

Canterbury United refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 12 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Tempers go at Canterbury United

Jamie Hughes was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Real improvement from Monty Tuiloma at Canterbury United

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Monty Tuiloma is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Loan watch13 Dec 2027

Oliver Sutton wants to come home

“I did not go to Melbourne City to sit and watch. I want to come back to Canterbury United and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 14 matches say the rest.

The terraces13 Dec 2027

The crowd has taken to Francis Reid

At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Dennis Kweyu 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.
