The Goalkeeper
When I was walking by the Whau River on Saturday, a couple of local soccer teams were playing at Ken Maunder Park. A minimal number of spectators and a chilly breeze. I think it’s the Lynn-Avon AFC Reserves in Red.

Darts
The Avondale Racecourse contains a number of unexpected gems, only found when you are in the company of a knowledgeable guide like Vince. He showed me the way up the grandstand through an unlabelled door where we found a group of people playing darts: they belong to the Niue Auckland Dart Association and were happy to let us watch the proceedings. Some of their number were absent, playing a tournament in South Auckland. The premises are those of the Cosmos Dart Club and the Niueans have an arrangement with that club for their meetings.

Avondale Racecourse
A bit over a week ago I saw this colourful scene at the playing fields of the Avondale racecourse. A rugby competition of several schools out west.
Karting
If the smell of petrol and revving engines do not deter you, you can enjoy the action at Rosebank Park Domain. KartSport Auckland.
