The Harlequins came into the game on the back of an 1-0 victory over 1st division Levin reserves last weekend and had their own 10-match unbeaten streak, but found the going tough against Manakau.
Manakau totally dominated the first half of the match, using the breeze to good advantage to play almost all of the opening 45 minutes in Paekakariki’s half, however the visitors were very solid in defence, and the match remained scoreless at halftime.
It was more of the same in the second half, with Manakau dominant throughout, and eventually the experienced Mike Urlich found a way through the tenacious Paekak defence to score the only goal of the game on the hour mark with a 10 yard shot that sped past the goalkeeper.
James Hoskins picked up the man of the match award for Manakau with an energetic display in the centre of the park, with Urlich and Chris Temperton also influential.
