Ben O'Farrells goal was one of the nicest goals I've ever seen by an Otago side. Goal Keeper to goal in about six seconds.

Sounds very direct?! Wouldn't think that type of football would be getting any praise on here - let alone being called "one of the nicest goals I've ever seen".

Liam Whittaker threw it to Hamish Cotter who turned nicely and played an inch perfect ball, along the ground, that split the defence to an on running Ben O'Farrell, Ben O'Farrell had a look up on the outside of the box and chipped the keeper. That is so much different to pumping it over the top to someone with more pace then the defence and getting lucky against the keeper

It was a good goal, showing the class of Hamish Cotter but the man needs to get forward more! He's very good at slipping in passes and feeding the strikers, although felt like Ben Kiore didn't get enough service on Sunday.  Interesting how Kev fielded a bit of a B team, giving people game time? or just a lack of depth, don't understand the starting selection of Whittaker in goal and Kinghorn on the wing and surely we have a better crop of talent in Otago that Kev is forced to play Karl Northey again at right-back!? good news from the game is that he picked up an injury so hopefully that lasts. 

I'm not sure who Karl Northey is. Nor do I know how good he may or may not be. That being said, you should NEVER be happy to see a player get injured, and especially not one that "lasts". That is disgraceful. A B See yourself out
