History
Manuwera AFC was formed by the merger of Tramways (1929 Chatham Cup winner) and another club named Manurewa. The merged entity initially used the portmanteau name of Tramurewa, during which time the club won the 1931 Chatham Cup. Tramuwera reverted to the name of Manurewa in 1959, the name currently used by the club. The club has recently enjoyed the success of being promoted into the Lotto Sport Italia NRFL Division 1A.
Manurewa competed in the New Zealand National Soccer League from 1979 to 1992, finishing as champions in 1983.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Universal history is the history of a few metaphors.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
