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.

Happy Headaches and Crap Free Kicks

Yesterday, Andre got hit by an Inter City 125, Fin produced the worst free kick in footballing history and a confident pre game Papatoetoe Lautoka had their backsides well and truly kicked by a masterful footballing display by the Mighty Maroons.....click the link to read all about it

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.

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”.

"Close but no cigar…."
By Steve Cox @ 4:10 p.m. :: 206 Views :: 3 Comments :: :: Senior Mens Teams
Form suggested that a resurgent Western Springs side were coming to Bledisloe Park for their 7th win of the season. They came on the back of a 3.1 victory over 2nd placed Manurewa and a 0.0 at 3rd placed Fencibles. For the Maroons, however, it was time to deliver a much needed improved performance….

“Down to earth….”
By Steve Cox @ 5:18 p.m. :: 173 Views :: 2 Comments :: :: Senior Mens Teams

Poignant words taken from Rainbow’s classic album. After last week’s 3 points at Papakura it was time to welcome the league leaders to Bledisloe Park. The score line suggests that this was one way traffic from the kick-off. However, for those supporters who braved the elements on Saturday saw Pukekohe battle hard and match Ngaruawahia for most of the match. Indeed for the first 15minutes in the second half it is reasonable to say that the league leaders were under some pressure and there was little to choose between the sides. The last third, however, saw some very clinical finishing by the visitors which cemented their place at the top.

1989 Revisited? WITH VIDEO
By Lee Du Maurier @ 9:28 p.m. :: 163 Views :: 5 Comments :: :: Senior Mens Teams

With the top of the table clash between the O'35s and Ellerslie postponed, to be re-played at he end of the season, will this result in the classic Liverpool v Arsenal end of season finale that spawned the Nick Hornby book and movie "Fever Pitch"?

Patience is a virtue….
By Steve Cox @ 5:21 p.m. :: 238 Views :: 7 Comments :: :: Senior Mens Teams

Patience is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances. Patience also requires discipline, control, attitude and self-belief all of which were displayed by the players on Saturday and necessary in some appalling conditions. Such qualities contributed to a well battled 1.0 victory, our first league win of the season which enabled us to climb off the bottom of the table.

Papatoetoe Lautoka PP Pukekohe Over 35's
By Lee Du Maurier @ 6:56 p.m. :: 150 Views :: 4 Comments :: :: Senior Mens Teams

On the day that the Mens 1st team gained a well deserved 1 - 0 victory at Papakura, the Pools Panel were in full swing after 16 metres of rain this week in Auckland.

Their decision to award an away win for the Over 35's busted many a coupon, with most punters banking on a score draw.

The attention now turns to the Euro 2008 final between Germany and Spain. In the absence of any match material, I've tried to have a bit of fun with a finalists flavour.
