Raymond Spooner,
who has been an outstanding
find for the
Firehawks over the
past two seasons,
played his last game

has won the hearts of
many supporters and
the respect of both his
team-mates and the
opposition.

TA bow out of Chatham Cup
Te Awamutu senior men’s socer
team suffered a 5-1 loss to
tumoetai in the qualifying
ound of the Chatham Cup.
Otumoetai took the lead with a
ell taken goal by forward Brian
oldie at Anchor Park on Saturay.
Boldie was always the target
or their attacks and was given
he room, just enough, to punish a
tatic defence.
Cape Physio Te Awamutu tried
n vain to find a first half equalser,
but just weren’t given the
oom to penetrate.
Otumoetai managed to stretch
heir lead rather fortuitiously
hen an attempted Robbie Diaz
learance struck keeper Kevin
uckle’s ankles and deflected into
he net.
With a 2-0 lead, Otumoetai
were able to play the game at their
pace.
Kim Brierley reports that the
visitors always looked for the
forward who was constantly sitting
on the shoulder of the last
man in defence, waiting to pounce
on any mistakes the back four
would dish up.
They stretched their lead to 3-0
at halftime when a forward was
able to get on the blind side of
central defender Carl Miezenbeek
and slot the ball past keeper
Buckle as he came out to close the
angle.
Te Awamutu managed to get
through on occasions, but their
shooting boots had been left in the
changing rooms.
After some soul searching, Te
Awamutu came out for the second
period determined to put some
respectability into the scoreline.
But it was Otumoetai who
extended their lead to 4-0,
punishing some sloppy defending.
Te Awamutu finally opened
their account when Jimmy Maxwell
showed some nice footwork
to dance past a pair of defenders
and slot the ball past a sprawling
keeper.
Any chance of a Te Awamutu
comeback was dashed minutes
later when keeper Buckle spilt a
cross at the feet of a grateful
forward, who had no trouble
finding the back of the net.
Te Awamutu played well in
patches and the scoreline somewhat
flattered the Otumoetai visitors.
Man of the match for Cape
Physio Te Awamutu was the
tireless Adam Blake.
