Ravaged in Riverhills riot….
By Steve Cox @ 8:26 p.m. :: 163 Views :: 1 Comments :: :: Senior Mens Teams
As the fourth goal went in on the stroke of half time this match could go in one of two directions. The second half proved to be the direction we didn’t want to take. Despite pulling an early goal back to build on, we were outplayed, outclassed and taught a footballing lesson.

Out of the frying pan into the fire….
By Steve Cox @ 7:37 a.m. :: 136 Views :: 2 Comments :: :: Senior Mens Teams
After the losing ground in the first league derby of the season the Maroons went into the lion’s den that is Memorial park. Let’s face facts here – Manurewa were second place and a win would put them 1 point behind the leaders (Ngaruawahia) with a game in hand. The Maroons were aiming to improve on the earlier meeting this season where we held them to 0.0 for 60 minutes.

Just when you thought things were going so well….
By Steve Cox @ 8:20 a.m. :: 238 Views :: 7 Comments :: :: Senior Mens Teams
The weather played a big part again for the Maroons on Saturday. With Bledisloe Park being declared an unplayable surface, the decision was taken to reverse the two Franklin derbies. Pukekohe made the short trip over to Massey Park in good form and upbeat after two good outings against Western Springs and Ellerslie. However, in a game of two completely different halves, the Maroons were left with some questions to answer and the season’s first league bragging rights went to the Blues.

Add the link to your choice on a comment along with your vote for the best one already up there. I've added a couple to start.

Sometimes football is a 97 minute game….
By Steve Cox @ 8:21 a.m. :: 244 Views :: 12 Comments :: :: Senior Mens Teams

Last week a hard working Maroon side were unlucky not to get three points against ‘one of the hotter sides in the league’. This week an is-it-on-is-it-off trip to fourth placed premier league chasing Ellerslie would prove another test for a much improving Pukekohe side and, if it wasn’t for 7 minutes of fortune changing injury time, it was clear to see that the Maroons are more than just “an aberration”.
