Weekly Review 5-6 April 2025.

Men’s Central League 2

This week saw Palmerston North United travel down to Hutt Park to play Stop Out Sports Club who were looking to improve their slow start to the season. As expected the first half started with both teams doing their best to feel the opposition out this led to a few shots from both clubs but nothing to really trouble either keeper so nil all at the break. The second half open up a bit more as both teams chased a decisive first goal. Stop Out thought they had got themselves on the scoreboard but the Palmerston North United Defence made sure the scores stayed locked as they cleared the ball off the line midway through the second half. Stop Out were then denied by the Palmerston North United keeper as he parried a shot destined for the corner of the net over the bar. Nil all the final score.

Women’s Central League

Manawatu Knitting Mills PN Marist FC welcomed a Waterside Karori side who so far this season had struggled to get themselves going. It was Waterside Karori who found there way on to the scoreboard first when Marist defender Melissa McKenna was in the wrong place at the wrong time as the ball bounced off the keeper then ricocheted off her and into the back of the net. Waterside Karori then doubled their lead when Nicola Ross scored midway through the first half. Late in the first half Karori added a 3^rd as Rhianna Houghton got her name on the scoresheet. Midway through the second half Karori put the game out of reach when Nicola Ross netted her second of the day.  The last 10 mins saw Manawatu Knitting Mills PN Marist FC  score through Isabella Yarwood
