The Halswell United A.F.C
club changing rooms have
gone from an old rundown
building into a flash
new facility.
The rooms have been
updated with brand new
joinery installed for the
large number of football
players out in Halswell.
The changing rooms
based at Halswell Domain

Sports
were built in 1964 and
up until the upgrade they
were in “a pretty sorry
state,” said general manager
Sam Bunn said.
The changes took about
two months to be upgraded
with donations from Asia
Pacific Football Academy
Andy and Jane Smith who
supplied the joinery at a
reduced rate.
President James Maguire
said he was very proud of
the new changing room
facilities
He said the generous
input of a small band of
volunteers led by longstanding
player and member
Gordan Murdoch made
the new changing rooms
possible.
“This upgrade represents
the start of our
ongoing work to refresh
and update our facilities
as we look forward to the
next 50 years of Halswell
Football,” he said.
Mainland Football
competition manager
Colin Grant said he
was proud of what the
Halswell community had
done with the changing
facilities.
“Especially of the volunteers
that have put all their
time and effort to make the
club better than it already
is.”
