Nomads held Nelson to a 1-1 draw and Nelson can feel lucky to get away with that, Nomads had several clear cut chances but has been the problem all season they don't have any half decent strikers. The Nelson centre backs had an easy day with any high ball totally dominated that part of the game.
Nelson looked to have a young team and the younger guys like Alex Ridsale and I think it's Adam Smith played well.
Turipa was a bit shaky at times, dropped or flapped at several shots including an easy catch in the first half that he knocked between his legs almost into his own net. Nothing he could do with the Nomads goal as it was tucked into the corner. Looks a big solid lad and had good distance on his kicks although on a small pitch at Nunweek Park.
The Nelson goal to draw level went in over the Nomads keepers [Shorty's] head.
Woolston Technical won back to back MPL titles with this result and the 3-0 win they had against Burnside, Tech are 14 points clear with 4 games to play.
