RESULTS TO ROUND OUT MAY

The Excel Refrigeration Women's Federation League side got the weekend off to the perfect start following a big overnight trip to Napier. The girls returned home with all three points after a deserved 3-1 victory over Port Hill United. Fernanda Toscani continued her excellent season in front of goal, helping herself to a brace as Moturoa controlled large periods of the match.

The Western Premiership men looked set to claim all three points after leading deep into the contest against PN Marist. Unfortunately, a late equaliser in the 88th minute meant the spoils were shared in a hard-fought 1-1 draw. While there was disappointment at conceding so late, there were plenty of positives to take from a determined performance.

Our Division 2 men dug deep and were rewarded for their efforts with a valuable 4-3 victory over NPBH 2nd XI. In a hotly contested game, the side showed some grit and detemination to earn three important competition points away from home.

Division 3 found themselves chasing the game after a slow start against Peringa United. Despite working hard to get themselves back into the contest, the early deficit proved too much to overcome. The side won't have to wait long for another opportunity, with a cup fixture awaiting on King's Birthday Monday.

The Withers Moturoa Masters continued their excellent start to the season with another winning display, remaining unbeaten and sitting at the top of the table following a convincing 6-0 win over Hawera FC. Taylor Lucinsky produced a tidy hat-trick to cap off a good day on the grass.
