Football points go North

Toa Roode breaks through Northern defenders during Saturday’s clash. Photo - Wānaka Football World. Northern AFC scored a winner with 15 minutes remaining to take all three points off hosts Wānaka in last weekend’s Southern Premiership football clash.

The visitors came from behind after a spectacular 25 metre strike from Levi Fletcher. Blair Scoullar’s long throw into the box caused confusion in the Northern defence and the ball was only half clear - to where Fletcher was positioned. Wānaka looked like they were going to go into cruise mode with chances coming frequently, but none went closer than a delightful freekick from Scoullar which hit the post. Northern kept battling and was rewarded before half time when a misjudged John Skilton pass was seized upon. The hosts threw players forward in search of a second half winner, but the curse of the intercepted back pass struck with 15 minutes to go and Northern led for the first time.

Wānaka continued to create chances, but was not clinical in the final third, and Northern were good for the three points.

The side has a bye this week followed by an away match at Roslyn.

Derby win for Wanaka

Wānaka continued their unbeaten start to this season's Presidents Pennant golf campaign with a narrow 3.5-2.5 victory at home over Lake Hawea on Sunday.

The top two matches were close encounters with both teams securing a point each; Tony Arscott of Hawea seeing off Wānaka's Andrew Atkins before John Templeton edged Jeremy Morris to level things up for Wānaka.

David Lee of Wānaka produced final hole heroics to secure a half in his match with Neil Anderson and Wānaka's Benn Ashford emphatically saw off Richard Henderson on the 11th hole.

With the match in the balance Phil Selby clinched the winning point for Wānaka before the final match was won by Hawea's Stuart in a closely fought tussle with Stagl.

Next up for Wānaka is a home match against Queenstown on August 15.

Results (Wānaka names first): Andrew Atkins lost to Tony Arscott 3 and 2, John Templeton beat Jeremy Morris 2 and 1, David Lee halved with Neil Anderson, Benn Ashford beat Richard Henderson 8 and 7, Phil Selby beat Zalmon More 3 and 2 and Ernie Stagl lost to Lynn Stuart 2 and 1.
