Plenty of
talking points after the weekend games, but now too much time to blog this
week.
Cashmere
Technical stay the #1 in the rankings after defeating rivals Ferrymead Bays (who
fall to #9) - in doing so they
practically wrap up the MPL.
Caversham
rise to #2 after thumping Green Island 6-1. It’s still tight in the FSPL, although Dunedin Technical (ranked
#6) now looks favourites for the title after a sound 4-0 win over Old Boys
while Roslyn Wakari dropped points (and dropped to #3) following a 3-3 home
draw with Queenstown Rovers. Grants Braes are all but relegated from the FSPL.
There was
a twist in the CPL as #4 ranked Miramar Rangers lost 2-1 at Napier City Rovers
while #5 ranked Wellington Olympic made up ground with a massive 8-1 win over
Wairarapa Utd. Rangers and Olympic
meet next week – a win for the latter will all but seal the CPL title for the
Greeks. Wellington Utd is relegated.
It’s a two
horse race and down to the wire in the NRPL as well. #8 ranked East Coast Bays drew 1-1 with resurgent Waitakere
City, while #7 ranked Birkenhead Utd scored a fine 2-1 win away at Central Utd. Just as fascinating in the NRPL is the battle
at the bottom of the table.
Division One bound Manurewa AFC beat Bay Olympic 1-0 while Ellerslie AFC
earned a 3-3 home draw with Three Kings Utd. With Onehunga Sports now looking safe and Waitakere City on
a roll, it looks like either Bay Olympic or Ellerslie AFC that will face the
drop.
