Hello everyone...for our fourth game at the Domain in four weeks.

Last week’s cup distraction, unfortunately, proved to be just that. It was great to have the opportunity of taking on a team that play two leagues above us but ended up being a bit of a bugger, really. It was a great opportunity missed.

That’s cup football though. Now we get to concentrate on our league campaign.

We welcome a couple of Hamilton-based clubs to the Domain for today’s Soccer Shop WaiBOP Premiership/ Championship double header. We’ve had some decent encounters with West Hamilton over the last couple of years, while Claudelands will expect to be a bit higher up the Championship table that they are currently, so both games should be fun for the fans to watch and get involved with.

This year’s Premiership looks like being more competitive than it has been in a while. It’s always hard to judge the overall quality, but when you look at some of last weekend’s cup results it’s probably safe to say that’s getting up there too. We’re in the mix and, with a win today, so would West Hamilton, so I doubt there will be any holding back from anyone come 2.45pm As a bit of a heads up, our friends at Redoubt will be hosting a European Champions League Final breakfast on Sunday June 2. Full details will be available soon, if they haven’t been posted already, but in the meantime mark that date in your diary and please make plans to be there. I know we have a heap of Spurs fans in the club, and I’m sure we can rustle up a few from Liverpool to bring some balance. If you don’t support either side come along anyway, to both watch the match and see those of us with a bit of skin in the game sweat it out.

As always, I’ll see you on the sidelines.

WaiBOP Premiership Update - Round 7 Otumoetai’s 4-1 victory at Flying Mullet Papamoa was the week’s stand-out result in The Soccer Shop WaiBOP Premiership, while Melville United picked up probably the result of the season so far in The Soccer Shop WaiBOP W-League after shocking Claudelands Rovers 2-1 at Gower Park on Sunday.

This week’s round of Premiership matches was reduced due to the involvement of a number of teams in round 1 of the ISPS Handa Chatham Cup. That gave both Papamoa and Otumoetai the opportunity to put pressure on joint leaders Waikato Unicol and Taupo if they could snaffle three points from their Western Bay derby.

Things looked to be going to plan for Papamoa after Colm Kenny’s goal six minutes before the break gave the hosts a tidy half time lead. It took until the hour mark for Otumoetai to draw level when JP Rosende struck home from the penalty spot, but even then the game was seemingly in the balance.

The visitors came home strongly, however.

Ryan Peddle pushed Otumoetai in front with sixteen minutes remaining, then a late Nick Barnes double added gloss to what ended up being a resounding away victory.

Otumoetai’s win lifted them level on thirteen points with Waikato Unicol and Taupo, who were both involved, rather successfully, in cup action over the weekend.

Taupo won 3-0 at NRFL Division 2 Uni-Mount Bohemian Celtic, while Unicol blew NRFL Division 1 side Bucklands Beach away 4-0 at Jansen Park.

Only two other Premiership matches were played on Saturday. Tauranga Blue Rovers moved into the top five following a 3-1 win over neighbours Tauranga Boys’. Dan Kent’s early goal gave Rovers a lead they never relinquished. There was a frenzy of scoring around the hour mark, with three goals scored in three minutes. Joaquin Reynoso doubled Rovers’ lead before Jordan Toy grabbed one back almost immediately.

Reynoso scored his second and Rovers’ third virtually straight from the restart to secure another solid win for the Blues.

Gisler Architects Te Awamutu gave themselves some breathing space near the bottom of the table following a narrow 2-1 home win over last-placed Safer Team Te Puke United. The visitors began the stronger, however, and Atsuhito Kageyama had them in front inside the first ten minutes. Te Awamutu finally got back on level terms a minute before the break when Te Puke put through their own net, but they had to wait until the final quarter hour to claim all three points. Jack Connor’s late strike got the job done for Te Awamutu.
