Man Utd NZ, a day in the sun.

Well, the Sunday football season ended on a grand note for the Manchester United New Zealand Supporters Club, with a stunning win in the West Auckland Soccer tournament held at Ranui.
On a beautiful Auckland day, the Reds smashed all comers and brought back the trophy.
While Jims performance in goal probably made the difference, the overall play was outstanding, with Wolverhampton Rob, Taek, Adam, Steve T, Troy and Karl on fire and all the team playing very much as a unit. Rob opened the scoring in the first game against the hosts Ranui and Taek closed it with a beautiful swerving run and excellent shot into the top corner of the net. On to the second game and Rob destroyed the Northcote presidents with two fine goals. Right, now for Norwest, the strongest team at the tournament, in a hard but fair match, the spoils were shared 0-0. Semi final time and we just destroyed Ranui 3-1, with a great goal from our top goalscorer Wes and two more crackers from young Taek, the men in yellow having no answer to the power of the Red army. On to final and once more the men in Red crushed the blue of Northcote, with Steve Taylor scoring in the 2nd minute and Taek finishing them off in the last 5 minutes, a superb team performance.

So roll on Taupo, for a holiday and celebration of a great Cup winning season and a kickabout with the locals.
