Summary of todays game.
Canterbury had a wind advantage in the first half. Played some great football but should have 'pulled the trigger' a lot earlier with the wind behind them. Plays broke down when in likely scoring areas or one touch too many when a shot should have been taken. Wellington looked dangerous down Fa'arodo's wing and was a handful for Collett. 1 nil to Canterbury did not seem enough to hold Wellington with the wind.
Wellington really dominated early in the second half and scored an equaliser in a goal mouth scrabble early in the half (from a set piece from memory). Canterbury looked resigned to the draw even pulling off a forward and stacking the defense to the disappointment of the fans. Wellington then went on to score to make it 2 - 1. Canterbury were lucky to snatch a draw at the end right on full-time through a goal to Spain.
Sean Devine's reaction to a fan was quite disturbing he ran into the Wellington team's technical area and launched himself against the fence with expletives after Canterbury scored their equaliser. Not a good look for a coach - looked like a loose cannon.
