Awakeri Wild Cats finished their 8th grade 1st division season on a high note
with a good win over Otakiri, 4 - 1. Otakiri made the Performance Zone Wild
Cats work hard for their win. The Wild Cats scored three goals in the last ten
minutes. Up until then it had been a tight arm wrestle. Emily Julian was proud
to score her first hat trick. Sarah Sheaff scored the other goal. Player of
the day was Renske Brabant who did well in goal and worked hard in the field.
The Bay Milking Equipment Awakeri Incredibles played Te Teko Taniwha and lost
4 - 0 in the 8th grade premier division. All four goals were scored in the first
half, but in the second half Caleb Marshall saved every single goal. Even when
he went to save a high ball that hit the goal post, causing the goal to crumble
around him, he was determined not to let that ball get past him! Needless to
say Caleb was deservedly player of the day.
In the 9th grade premier division Da Silva Autos Awakeri Dragons had a good
tussle with Saints Go Girls, which ended in a 0 - 0 draw. The game was fast
and furious making for plenty of excitement for the spectators. Finn Spod earned
player of the day with some great work and passing in the midfield.
O'Hagan Mortgages Awakeri Magic had a great game in the 11th grade 1st division
at Opotiki. Opotiki got the lead midway through the first half, by the ball
getting a funny bounce off a defender and the keeper and then slotted away.
About ten minutes later, a nice set of passing by Katie White and Shelby Raston,
gave Nicole Theobald the chance for a run past the defence to level the score.
In the second half Opotiki put together some nice phases of play. Magic's defence
was up to the task for most of the time, however two more goals were put away
to give Opotiki a 3 - 1 win. Player of the day went to the whole Magic team
with every one giving it a hundred per cent.
