Man Utd NZ v Norwest

A cracking game of football this afternoon in the Huapai valley.

The Reds were a bit short, so we stole some locals and had a fantastic game.

The whole first half was end to end, without the finishes and we went to halftime, nil all and everyone at the break was pumped.
Norwest were playing their first game of the season, but still showed the old talent. Warren was at his best and we struggled to contain his brilliance, but we hung in there and it took a fluke to open the scoring, Warren and his young fellow striker, setting up a slow bouncing ball into the net. But instead of being down, the Reds just took it to the blues and forced a number of corners and goal kicks, but once again we couldn't supply the finishing touch and at the end, as the sun set in our goal keepers eyes, they managed another two goals. But the game was played in great spirit and everyone retired to the showers and the bar in great heart. 

Thanks to all that turned up and a special thanks to the young Huapai ladies who helped us out ... :)

So good luck to Skip in tomorrows Chatham Cup game and rock on for the game in two weeks against the Takapuna Old Farts .......
