Div 1 : Manakau Hui Mai 0-4 Waikanae Geezers

Waikanae's first goalscorer
seemed familiar to us ... ?
Manakau Hui Mai had no answer to Waikanae's swift counter-attacking play and slid to a 0-4 defeat in greasy conditions at the Manakau Domain.

Three goals in the space of 5 minutes midway through the first-half put Waikanae firmly in control, with most of the damage being done by the young pacey pair up front - who were definitely not "Geezers".

The second half was a more even affair, although Waikanae did grab a fourth goal, but Manakau did not give-up and kept striving to get back into the game competing well for possession and territory.

However, the Manakau club are finding that the promotion to the top division is a tough task, and probably need to find a couple more experienced football players in order to be able to compete on a level footing in this grade.

The league season is halfway through now - and Manakau have a 1-1-5 record providing 4 points from seven games - so the season target has to be to achieve a better points return from the second half of the league ...

 ... and perhaps to spring a surprise or two in the knock-out Cup competition that follows.

MAN OF THE MATCH POINTS :
3 - Paul Kulhavy
2 - Rob Pollock (referee)
1 - Hamish Graham
