All over 2-1 waitak
but Heraki Utd are now our OFC reps at the World Club Cup

Bugger. Oh well, best of luck to them for the world champs, hope they can pull an upset or two!

Maybe we can lend them Roy and Ben at the front
and Neil at the back.

Watch the NZFC clubs fold without their CWC money Jeff Vader2010-05-02 18:51:12

Dead right, all NZFC clubs will suffer a knock to their income. For some it will be quite serious. 

Well, geez, you don't have to sound happy about it. The NZFC is vital to football in this country. Esp. if we're hoping to have the Nix reserves in it.

Well atleast they have the world cup profits to help them out

Big LOL @  Waitakere!!. Royz2010-05-02 23:39:24

Hekari.

Also, one of the poorest clubs who have signed a stack of Solomon's internationals to play for a Papua New Guinea club ?  I remain unconvinced.

Not even close.

I'm just saying that based on what a number of the same players have been paid to play in Australia and NZ in the past I don't think those Solomon's players are at Hekari for love.

Great result for Micronesian football, just watching it now, but I'm not naive enough to think Hekari are particularly poor.  They've got money from somewhere, maybe not as much as some NZ sides have spent but certainly a decent amount.

how dare those upstarts from the islands pay money for players - totally against the spirit of the game.

Here, here.  You wouldn't see it in New Zealand.

Haha Waitakere 

I just hope, for the sake of Oceania football, that Hekari dont totally embarrass themselves against the big guns at the CWC...

Excellent result for Hekari and for PNG football. All the best to them at the Club World Cup in December.

This may be as big a wakeup call as it was when the Solomons knocked the All Whites out of WC qualifying in 2005.

Or when we got knocked out of U20s qualification in the Islands a couple of years ago.

Not saying I agreed with it?

Lol, we all knew what Waitakere were up against before the match. There was a bit of luck and chance involved in the game. At the end Waitakere knew what was needed and came up short. I hope that Hekari will do OFC proud in the CWC and stir some upsets like at least beating the host national champion club.

Probably offset a little bit by some extra money from ACFCs performance this year and FIFA money for players at the World Cup though? (for some franchises).

Still not a good look though...

Mark my words this is a serious knock on the finances for most NZFC franchises - this is really going to rattle a few....

Here's a story on Hekari FC by transsport during the year. You will all find it interesting to watch.
