All heroes for Otago today and they made a mockery of thse saying it woulld be a bloodbath. Otago the better side in the first half by a mile. Midfield Overton, Mepham, Cunningham, Ryder too quick and too much hunger. We were great at the back. Very well organised. Two well taken goals, Prattley dead unlucky to put in own net. Second half TW got back into it. They scored a second from a scramled corner then a shot. Fiitzpatrick got injured which was shame because he was very solid and quick - him and Prattley kept the much vaunted Aussie strikeer quiet. Lost nothing with Joy comming on though. Then Mcgregor got injured too - he looks a handy player and played a big part in the first goal. Young Stevens came on and was lively. Then Ferguson got sent for 2nd yellow - so it was back to the wall stuff. Couple of fantastic saves from Evans. But we hung on deservedly. My MOM - very hard to pick but Cunningham and Overton showed some real class.NatPevin2011-10-23 17:33:46
