Haven't followed the Handa premiership as much as I have in previous seasons, but have taken an interest in Eastern Suburbs when I can (Afterall Riverhills used to be my old stomping ground).
Just seen after their 3-0 win against Southern United yesterday, Callum McCowatt has scored in 10 consecutive matches! For a 19 year old that is brilliant at any level and surely a record (if not, close to) in the NZ domestic game. Surely he's heading on to bigger and better things in his footballing career. Good to see De Jong has bagged a few this season as well.
10 goals in consecutive games is truly remarkable. Have looked back for the deadliest striker in NZ and even the great John Wrathall did not achieve that, although he scored 360 goals in 392 games for Suburbs.
Should have added that he's scored 17 in those 10 games as well. Incredible numbers. Someone should definitely be watching over those sort of performances. Perhaps someone from the Nix I'd suggest?
Think he's off back to Europe for another go at making it there. Scotland?
