Division Three : Paekakariki 3-0 Manakau Hotel

Paekakariki Harlequins proved to be the better side in a Horowhenua-Kapiti Division Three football match contested at Mazengarb Park on Saturday afternoon.

Paekakariki produced a good display of passing football especially in the first half, and scored a couple of well worked goals before the break to take a stranglehold on the game.

The second half was a more even affair, with Manakau creating a couple of chances, but the only scoring was a late own-goal which stretched the Paekak lead to three goals.

Despite the 3-0 loss, Manakau United’s goalkeeper Chris Georgetti impressed with a good all-round display, including a couple of fine saves in 1-on-1 situations to keep his side in the game, and picked up the man-of-the-match award.
