Congrats to TTU for wrapping up another premiership with a massive win over me. Tawa FC also all but avoids the wooden spoon with their win. Disjointed can snatch 2nd place with a casual 16-0 win next week.
Sky Valley 1 - 0 Racing Club North Shore
Khandallah Lokomotiv 1 - 1 Sanchez A.F.C
Sky Valley take the 2nd division title with a game in hand after they won and the trains were held to a draw. The trains still gain automatic promotion however. Sanchez A.F.C's draw sets up a great contest next week against Racing Club North Shore - if sanchez wins that game, they are safe and Racing Club north shore go down. Peow FC will be looking to beat the champions Sky Valley, and hope Sanchez fails to win their game, to avoid the wooden spoon.
Naenae take the division lead with their win, as Racing Fat cockneys relinquish it with their loss. Wellington Phoenix FCs impressive win over the fat cocks sees them out of the relegation zone. Next week the Racing Fat Cockneys will be looking to win the third division title, a win which would also see their rivals Tawa AFC relegated to the 4th division. Tawa AFC need to better Wellington Phoenix FCs result in order to stay up.
Waikato Whippingboys 2 - 3 Highlands FC
Surge Thunder FC 0 - 2 Elite F.C.
In the game of the round, Highlands FC scored a 61st minute winner against Waikato to take the division 4 title with a game in hand. Elite F.C. also moved out of the relegation zone and even gave themselves a chance at promotion next week with their win against Surge Thunder FC.
To gain promotion next week, AD Fafe needs to beat bottom of the table Surge Thunder FC by 4 goals or more, they'll probably just be looking for a win to give them a chance at avoiding theoretical 'relegation' to begin with though - both scenarios require Elite F.C. to lose to top of the table Highlands FC.
Elite F.C. simply need to beat top of the table Highlands FC to gain promotion. A draw would give a slight danger of relegation if AD Fafe win by 2 or 3 goals. While a loss would leave them hoping AD Fafe don't win.
Bloody close division all season, with so many permutations.
