after coming from behind in the grading round to win with a very vocal supporters club we showed why we should win a title this year.
An unrequired ref did not attend the game how ever regular reports from Rachel on the side line kept me on the edge of the seat....
After an early long range strike from a Manurewa midfielder soared over Lieselle's head, Pukekohe and Troy knew they were going to struggle even with his "strongest available 14 players"...
Soon after Amelia scored an awesome equaliser.
Half time could not come soon enough for either coach and stern words were heard by all..
A torrent game with some questionable refereeing saw the game fade to a 1-1 draw.
This was the deciding game between the top two teams that has left the final 2 games needing decisive wins for us to take out the title.
After losing the title race last year by just one point Coach Troy knows what this pressure means to him and the players.
