Manakau Hotel gave a brave performance in the HK Bowl competition, taking the lead against the highly ranked Waikanae Youth side, before bowing out 1-4.
The opening 45 minutes was a very competitive affair, and both sides created chances, but the game remained scoreless at the halftime interval. Manakau broke the deadlock early in the second half scoring through James Wylie, but Waikanae responded almost immediately to level the scores.
The quick equaliser lifted Waikanae who raised their game during the second spell and eventually the tiring legs of the Manakau side could not keep the youngsters out – although it must be mentioned that the “Youth” side did need to bring on a couple of “dads” to finish the job.
Waikanae were worthy 4-1 winners in the end – but Manakau had certainly played a big part in a very good match.
