Scorers: Cam - 2, Sinclair - 2, Jezza - 1, Scott M - 1
Game 2 v North Canterbury, Riccarton Domain, 12 April, Result 3-1 win
It's all about breaking down their 9 man defence! Turns out Gus is human after all as he was beaten for the first time this season. Koresh you need to look at this lad.
Scorers: Finn - 2, Jezza - 1
Game 3 v Coastal Spirit, Bexley, 19 April, Result 4-2 loss
Up by 1 early on and looking good. Unfortunately Coastal got the next 4. A late consolation goal by Cameron.
Scorers: Finn - 1, Cameron - 1
Game 4 v Parklands, Parklands, 26 April, Result 1-1 draw
The expectation of a big win against the bottom side proved too much. The guys now face a big test of character to move on and rebuild their season.

Chatham Cup Round 1 v North Canterbury, 17 May, Result 5-0 win
Chatham cup games can always be difficult. We approached this one after a good run of form with 3
good performances put together and not underestimating North Canterbury who had picked up a point
from Cashmere the previous week. With plenty of talent in the squad up front but not yet finding the
right combinations Sinclair was given a run with the Reserves.
Scott Marrow threatened early, running on to long balls from our keeper Gus. Scott was rewarded
tucking the ball past the keeper with Cameron adding one mid way through the half. Jules, Josh and
Sam asserted the dominance over a 5 man Nth Canterbury midfield. A display of possession football
using the wide men should have produced more goals but we went in happy at 2 nil up.
North Canterbury tired in the second half but didn't sit back in their box and defend which helped us
continue to attack wide then cut in. We were rewarded with three goals in the second half to Cameron,
Sam and Jules and could have had more. Well done to a composed back 4 looking to attack.
We look forward to tougher opposition in the next round and hope the draw is kind and we don't get a
trip to Nelson.
Scorers: Cameron - 2, Scott M - 1 , Julian - 1, Sam - 1
