Many Awakeri teams had their last games of football for the season on Saturday.
In the 13th grade, Private Asset Management Awakeri Comets were away to St Joseph's Shooters. Awakeri got off to a quick start with a goal from Cody Cook in the first five minutes. Ben Davey-Emms scored a goal either side of half-time, before Tiare Butler hit an excellent volley with the last kick of the game for Comets to finish the season with a 4-0 win. Some superb defensive work earned Inder Aujla the player of the day award.
SLH Contracting's 11th grade Awakeri Warriors had a convincing win at home against the Whakatane G Force 3-0. Elijah Wetting-Davidson scored twice and Frank Butler scored, smashing a ball into the top of the goal. The player of the day was birthday boy, Frank Butler. Kaia Skipps and Isak Tootell also impressed. This leaves a top of the table clash for the division 1 league championship in next week's final game of the season against Ohope Bluefins. The game is at Awakeri at 9am.
