Rascals, Sophie Spod (Awakeri Tigers) and Hannah White (Awakeri Lions).
7th grade Kiwi Waste Awakeri Magic had a great day at Junior Framework too.
They had a small sided game with Ohope Sharks. Both teams scored goals and attacked
and defended well. Magic's player of the day was Addison Dodson.

Da Silva Autos Awakeri Strikers had a good day in the 9th grade, beating Ohope

Cambell Julian (2) and Kaedyn Portsmouth.
Private Asset Management Awakeri Comets had a tough home game against Kawerau
Crusaders in the 11th Grade Premier Division. Awakeri began really well applying
most of the pressure, but Kawerau defended strongly and took their chances well
to have a good lead by half-time. Comets had the perfect start to the second
half, when Kevin Paulsen scored a great individual goal straight from kick-off
but Kawerau responded almost immediately with their own skilful goals. They
finished up 7 - 1 winners. Awakeri's player of the day was Liam McCormack.
In the 11th grade 1st division, Barringtons Motor Lodge Awakeri Wild Cats were
too strong for Thornton Phoenix. Emily Julian, Taryn Forbes, Linette Lengkeek
and Sam Marks were the goal scorers. Caroline Paulsen made a big contribution
and was named player of the day.
HTL Spreading Awakeri Lightning lost to Kawerau Taniwha in the 11th grade 1st
division. They trailed 6 - 0 at half time. The second half was better though.
Goalie for the first half was Corisa Johnston and for the second it was Sarah
Sheaff. The player of the day was Rylee Looney for competing hard with the boys.
13th grade Insitu Heritage Awakeri Sharks took too long to get into gear against
the strong Whakatane Town Surfers team, who went on to win comfortably. Finn
Spod impressed for Sharks, and came close to scoring with a shot well saved.
Elana Spod and Manjot Farrar did well in defence, while player of the day Lucille
Smits made some good runs up the wing.
