After another weekend of games in which Chatham Cup
games again took centre stage, there is a new leader in the Rankings. Dunedin heavyweights Caversham AFC
brushed aside Roslyn Wakari 4-1 at Ellis Park; ‘The Horse’ tumbles four spots to
#5 and now must focus their attention on winning their first FSPL title since
2003. There’s no change in the #2
and #3 spots; Cashmere Technical scored a good 4-1 away win at Western in the
MPL, and Wellington Olympic progressed to the last 16 of the Chatham Cup with a
4-2 win over Lower Hutt City. And
rising to #4 are Birkenhead Utd thanks to a 3-1 win over Hamilton Wanderers in
the cup.
Big movers this week are Green Island, up seven to #8
after a 7-1 thumping of local rivals Mosgiel and, another Dunedin side,
Northern AFC who climb six places away from near the basement to #25 after a
3-0 win over Invercargill old boys.
Next week should see an almost complete round of
league action; the exception is Cashmere Technical’s catch-up Chatham Cup tie
with Waimakariri Utd. Most of the
top ten ranked sides will be expected to win this weekend - the FSPL top of the
table clash between Green Island and Dunedin Technical is the only game that features
two top-10 sides - but I pick that Birkenhead Utd’s clash with Onehunga Sports
will be an interesting affair.
