Tons of Action on Super Saturday
Mosgiel 4-2 win over Wanaka, the Plainsmen took an early lead when Kasim Ali struck a thunderous volley from 35 yards that cannonned off the woodwork giving goal keeper Aaron Molloy no chance. Despite playing into a strong head wind Wanaka were playing structured football with Fletch Cavangh and Adam Hewson threatening with direct and skilful runs.
Wanaka then dominated the next 15 mins leading into half time but didnt take the opportunities as Everton Rossi, Pleskun and Hewson all had shots on goal that couldnt beat Liam Wittaker in goals. Wanakas full back Levi Fletcher was getting forward at every opportunity and and linking well with Barry Grehan and this presented long range shooting chances to both Hewson and Pleskun which forced Whittaker into action. With 20 minutes left a hand ball on the edge of the penalty box gave Mosgiel a free kick and Kasim Ali struck a very powerful left footed shot past Molloy into the bottom corner to make it 4-1. Molloy then just minutes later pulled of a fine one on one save to deny Anderson. Wanaka continued to attack and got their 2nd goal when Levi Fletcher won the ball and drove inside from the right and delivered a cross shot which was neatly steered into the Mosgiel goal by the lively Pleskun to make it 4-2 in the 82nd minute. With Mosgiel defending their lead Wanaka mounted late attacks looking for a third goal however the shots and crosses -not helped by the strong wind - were just off target. University 6-1 Green Island After winning the league last week Green Island surrendered their 100% record with the students in rampant form running away with a 6-1 victory. Colin Fagan opened the scoring on 21 minutes and skipper Tim OFarrell doubling the lead on the half hour. Green Island pulled one back immediately through Matt Brazier. Caversham 4-3 Roslyn. Caversham dominated the first half then withstood a furious Roslyn-Wakari fightback to cling on for a 4-3 win at Hancock Park. Captain Jared Grove scored the opening goal for Caversham on 12 minutes and Connor Neil nearly made it 2-0 after he got onto the end of a cross unchallenged but put his shot wide. Against the run of play, Nathan Wilkie equalised from the penalty spot with 24 minutes played after keeper Sean Van Dyk made contact with Yunny Chang Sung and referee Jack Cowie pointed to the spot. The home side then appeared to take complete control of the game by scoring three goals in the space of six minutes. Between the 31st and 37th minute Raven August, Ben Kiore and Olivier Cassidy all found the net to give Caversham a 4-1 lead at halftime - with Kiore on one with Jak Stevenson, his shot looped up off Stevenson and and over the stranded Tom Stevens. Luke Clissold made it 4-3 with 4 minutes left after some sustained pressure from set pieces where the ball fell to him at the edge of the box and his powerful shot was well placed into the far back corner. Roslyn were denied a share of the points when Van Dyk pulled off a good save in the dying moments. Queenstown 4-1 Dunedin Tech In a first half lacking much intensity Tech threaten Queenstown with a couple of shots that keeper Daniel Bocatios saves well and Queenstown then score the only goal in the first half with a bullet header from Chris Baines from a corner on 30 minutes giving Alex Boomer no chance. The second half sees Queenstown have more energy and possession and double their lead soon after the restart when Thomas Mills back heels to the on rushing Willem Ebbinge who duly smashes the ball past the keeper in the 48th minute Tech reply 2 minutes later when Rhys Quarrell makes a neat run behind the defence and a coolly finishes to make it 2-1. Finley Husheer comes on in the 67th minute and he gets on the scoresheet in the 78th minute when corner to the back post is nodded back across goal by Jack Niven and Husheer unchallenged heads home unchallenged. Techs keeper Boomer then pulls off a fantastic save from Ebbinges' free kick but he was helpless moments later when in the dying moments Ebbinge dispossess Techs centre back and finishes with a cool slide rule pass into the bottom corner . Final score Queenstown 4 Tech 1. |
