15th Blue Strong Against Spoiling Western Springs
By Roger Goulstone @ 3:36 p.m. :: 232 Views :: 0 Comments :: :: Youth Teams

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.
