Well, i predicted an almighty tustle between the mighty Cougars and unbeaten Tawa, and an almighty tustle it turned out to be.
Great first half from the lads, deserved to go into the half up, but it was even stevens at 1 all. Tawa started to dominate in the 2nd half, helped in no small part by being able to bring on two 6" plus strikers. They are a dangerous team from set plays and eventually got one of their big men behind the Karori defence to knock in the winner.
Definitely one of the better performances from the Cougars, especially with a few away, pretty frustrating to not get anything out of it.
Looking like a pretty tight league at the moment, but i definitely don't think Tawa are unbeatable. Huge game for us against the Rapa this weekend back at Ben Burn, nothing less than a win will be good enough. Will be interesting to see how they travel.
On another note, how the hell did LH beat UH?! They could barely play their way out of a paper bag when we played them, and yet they back up on a Monday and knock over one of the top teams?! Seems a bit fishy to me...
