Waikanae Strollers travelled up to the Manakau Domain, and put on a solid display of passing football to claim their first win of the season beating Manakau Hotel 2-1.
After a scoreless first half it was Waikanae player Will Reardon who broke the deadlock 10 minutes into the second period with a fine run that took him past several Manakau defenders, and Reardon then struck a solid shot into the bottom left hand corner of the net.
The Strollers then extended their lead when Reardon sent in cross from the right and Rob Burrows was on hand to score and give Waikanae a 2-0 lead.
Manakau’s James Wylie closed the gap when he grabbed a fine goal with a couple of minutes remaining, volleying home a snapshot from 20 yards out to give the home supporters in the clubhouse something well worth cheering about.
There was no time for an equaliser however, with Stollers claiming the win.
Manakau youngster Murray Haughey was awarded man of the match for the home side.
