We played the Naenae Masters 2 side pre-season, they had a couple from the clubs higher sides and a full strength side for the only time this season. We were missing a few. We lost 2-0 but it was pretty close (if only the rest of the season was going that well for my Naenae side).
I suspect Porirua might manage a bit higher and Tuskan and Arakura's levels depend on who they have as ring-ins on a daily basis.
Arakura? Their nippy Costa Ricans would be alright if they stayed on their feet

Tuskan killed us last week. We were holding on for 60-70 minutes but it really was just holding on. Based on possession, stats and shots it was a travesty that we lead 1-0 at the half, they were a completely different side to the one we played at the Velodrome.
League Leaders Porirua cruised to an 8-2 win over 7th placed Justice League in the latest round of the Wellington Sunday Football League.
The interest was in the game between 2nd and 3rd with Shamrocks bouncing back from a draw last week with Blazers to beat Trentham United 3-1. Sunday Blazers had a tight game over bottom placed Wallaceville united but managed to maintain the lead winning 4-3. Arakura struggled at Tuskan Raiders home ground and couldn�t find any reason to celebrate in the second half, eventually losing 6-2 after the score was 2-2 at half time.
With 2 rounds to go the league winners are already decided with a great battle going on for 2nd place with only 3 points between the next 5 teams.
Next weekends games will kick off at 11:30 so Teams can get to the Phoenix match at Newtown Park.

Comedy moment was in the first half. Wallies played the off side trap to no avail leaving 3 blazers baring down on the keeper. Two of the blazers then managed to butcher the goal from 2 yards out- d'oh

I was wondering how that scoreline came about, was worried Wallaceville had stacked the team or something (not that that ever happens in Sunday league).

Or it could all come down to next Sunday between Blazers and Trentham... with our luck the Phoenix will win this Friday and be at home so we'll both have to miss it
