WYNRS and Metro FC united as a family now

WYNRS is back to Winter League in 2016.

We are delighted to announce the partnership between WYNRS and Metro FC.

WYNRS and Metro work together to make a New Zealand sporting success story throughout building a

strong pathway from Junior to Senior.

Metro FC was originally named Tabernacle-Metropolitan Club by its founder the Baptist Church. The club,

established in 1899, is one of the oldest in NZ (it was founded in the same year as AC Milan, a team which

ironically, also wears the same black/red striped shirt), the oldest club in NZ being North Shore United

formed in 1886.

Metro FC has been based at Phyllis St Reserve, in Mount Albert, since 1950. The club's hope at the time

was "that the association would prove useful to youths in the area". This has proved to be the making of

the club. The club celebrated its centenary in 1999, a very proud moment for such a historic club in NZ,

with the club's success being attributed not only to the senior teams over the last 111 years but also the

junior/youth players and their parents who are "the backbone, the key factor that has helped the club

through the good times and bad since 1899". (from Metro FC Website)
