15th Blue Strong Against Spoiling Western Springs

The 15th Blue team again showed their all round strength in seeing off a spirited Western Springs side 4-1 on the weekend. This is a balanced side with pace and goal scoring ability up front, a hardworking ball winning and distributing midfield backed up by a defensive line that takes no prisoners.
Pukekohe opened the scoring playing into a stiff breeze with a lovely through ball that Gary picked up and hammered into the top of the net. Within minutes it was 1-1 when a huge punt from the Western Springs keeper bamboozled the backline and let the opposition striker pounce for an easy goal. This was the Springs tactic all day, huge goalkicks into a swirling wind. It was fantastic to see our 15 year old players getting under the huge kicks and heading them accurately out of harms way.

The Over 35's side extended their unbeaten run to 20 games, courtesy of a Graham Spink double at Onehunga yesterday. After huffing and puffing for virtually the entire first half, Puke took the lead after the home keeper spilled the ball for the quintilienth time allowing Graham to (calmly?) slot home. Until this point, Puke had been indebted to keeper Andreus Van Lieshout for a couple of blinding saves to keep the scores level.
