What's on Today? Football

Good morning Sunners,

Some of you may be enjoying a sleep in this morning after waking up at dawn yesterday to commemorate 100 years since the Great War.

This reporter attended the Mount Maunganui dawn service to honour her great granddad Harold John Hunter, service number 2/2845, who served as a gunner in the Second Artillery Division of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force during World War I.

We're up bright and early again this morning to deliver you up-to-date community news.

So let's get the day started.

Football World Cup fever, on a youthful scale, is set to grip Otumoetai today.

Fergusson Park will transform into the field of dreams, as more than 450 aspiring footballers from across the upper North Island chase Otumoetai Football Club Junior World Cup glory.
