There’s not much change at either the top or bottom
end of the Rankings this week, but a little bit of mid-pack shuffling. However there is a new team at the very
top. Cashmere Technical just
manage to regain the #1 spot they last held on 7 April 2013 on the back of a thumping
7-0 win over Waimakariri Utd in the Chatham Cup. Caversham AFC drop to #2 despite another solid win over
Mosgiel in the FSPL. The nine spots
below Caversham are occupied by teams who all (with the exception of Lower Hutt
City, who didn’t play) secured wins in the weekend. As the run-in to the end of season commences the top teams
are certainly finding their form.
Key an eye out especially for Wairarapa Utd (up four places to #9) as
they try to chase down Miramar Rangers and Wellington Olympic, and East Coast
Bays (up three to #11) in their pursuit of Birkenhead Utd.
The reverse can be said at the lower echelons of the
Rankings ladder. Only one of the
bottom ranked sides picked up any points in the weekend, and that was Nomads
Utd with a good 2-2 draw at home to Nelson Suburbs.
Other than Wairarapa Utd and East Coast Bays there
were no really big movers this week, although Green Island’s yo-yo season
continues – beaten 4-1 by Dunedin Technical they fall four spots to #13.
Next week in the NRPL the clash between Waitakere
City and Three Kings Utd could well be key in deciding who drops out of the
NRPL in 2013. And nothing short of victory for Hamilton Wanderers or Central
Utd in their clash will probably put pay to either side’s title aspirations. Things should go the way of the form-book
for the top teams in both the CPL and the MPL, but the match-up between Dunedin
Technical and Caversham AFC is too close for me to call.
