Red Sox Manawatu is a soccer and netball club in Palmerston North, Manawatu, New Zealand. The club caters for men's, women's and youth soccer/Football teams and women's netball teams. Riverside RedSox is affiliated to Red Sox Manawatu and caters for junior boys and girls soccer. ==Convoluted history of club mergers== The Manawatu Red Sox history is a complicated one, the club having been formed by the gradual merger and name-changes of a multitude of teams from the Palmerston North area. The oldest of these clubs was Saint Andrew's, which was founded in the 1920s. St Andrew's joined forces with Palmerston City (formed in 1938 as Palmerston North Thistle) in 1971, continuing as Palmerston City until 1974 when the club changed its name to Manawatu United. This club became Manawatu AFC in 1992 upon its merger with Rose City - a club which had itself been formed via a merger. Manawatu AFC combined with Riverside Red Sox (a team formed from the 1998 merger of Riverside and Red Sox) in 2004. Rose City had itself formed from the 1983 merger of Glen Carron and Kiwi United. Glen Carron had previously been known as Corinthian-Old Boys, a club founded in 1963 from the merger of Corinthians and Palmerston North Old Boys, the latter club having started its life as New Settlers FC in 1952. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Red Sox Manawatu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
