Results out West
FC Western Reserves 2 - 1 Marist Reserves - surprisingly close result considering Marist's bench contained their coach and their club president. 1st team quality goalkeeper dropping in for first time this season probably helped.
PNU Reserves 0 - 3 Takaro - Takaro comfortable win over a depleted PNU Reserves. Assistant coach and CF's competition manager part of a 3 man bench for PNU.
Moturoa 1 - 10 Levin - Oh what could have been for Levin this year. Thrown away points earlier in the season cost them any chance of keeping up with Athletic, on their day they have been outstanding. Moturoa have failed to win a point since they handed Marist a draw back in May, they have been awful for 8 games now. Aggregate score against Levin this season is 19-2.
Rangers 4 - 1 Feilding - very close game with Rangers scoring two late whilst Feilding pushed forward. Feilding's bench was two who haven't played all season and their coach. Seemed to be a few missing from their XI as well.
Whanganui Athletic 2 - 2 NPBHS - Boys High have had a fair bit of joy against Athletic the past couple of seasons, back and forth game here, Athletic probably with one eye on their trophy ceremony post game.
Three games to go now, Athletic vs Gisborne United looks set in stone and will be a great contest. Not sure I'd want Athletic's backline against Jimmy! Then the winner of that probably has Greytown. The rumour going around here is that it will be the playoff winner plus Olympic Reserves, Miramar Reserves and Phoenix 3rds into CL2. I have a horrible feeling we are going to end up stuck with Athletic again next year.
