Last time we were at Hutt Park we started our match against Petone seven points behind league leaders Napier and there was a real concern we could be drifting off the pace. Having a week off because of Chatham Cup to rest and recharge the long line of injuries was welcomed and what followed was two wins —against Petone and PN Marist which has helped “right the ship”. The bonus last weekend was that none of the five teams around us in the league had wins and we’ve jumped up to fourth spot just 3 points of the top. What that highlights is how close Central League is this season with almost all teams capable of upsetting the form book. Last week’s Miramar result is testament to that. With the recruitment of a host of high profile Team Wellington players they've had a dream run in the league and Cup and been in ominous form. But the Nix youth hit their straps and scored an emphatic victory. Everyone is acutely aware that Miramar don’t have two off days in a row so expect an epic encounter today. It’s been a great season so far for the Stop Out club and as you’ll see in the following pages our 2nds, 3rds and 4ths are all very much in the mix for promotion spots. And last week was one of our greatest ever achievements with all three Masters teams scoring wins! Now that hasn’t happened since JT last ventured over half way! With the midweek invitation to play the Wellington Phoenix it has reinforced our place as one of the Premier clubs in the region. Tuesday night at Fraser was a wonderful occasion and a great experience for Stop Out players, management, ball kids and spectators. We competed admirably and created many a chance in a competitive 5-1 win for the Nix. In this week’s programme we also break down the statistics for Stop Out talisman Steve Gulley’s 150th appearance for the club. A great achievement from one of our finest! Enjoy the football today and our Stop Out hospitality! 3 CENTRAL LEAGUE 2016 P W D L F A GD Pts Napier City Rovers 12 7 4 1 30 17 13 25 Olympic 12 7 3 2 28 21 7 24 Miramar Rangers 12 7 2 3 32 25 7 23 Stop Out 12 7 1 4 31 23 8 22 Western Suburbs 12 5 4 3 31 18 13 19 Wairarapa United 12 5 2 5 32 32 0 17 Wellington United 12 4 3 5 24 22 2 15 Lower Hutt 12 2 5 5 23 23 0 11 Marist Palmerston North 11 1 2 8 20 38 -18 5 Petone 11 0 2 9 12 44 -32 2 2016 Central League Rnd 1 Sat 2 April Stop Out 3 Wairarapa 1 Hutt Park 1 @ 2.30 Rnd 2 Sat 9 April Petone 1 Stop Out 5 Petone Turf @ 3.00 Rnd 3 Sat 16 April Stop Out 2 PN Marist 1 Hutt Park 1 @ 2.30 Rnd 4 Sat 23 April Miramar 2 Stop Out 1 Dave F @ 2.30 Rnd 5 Sat 30 April Stop Out 3 Phoenix 1 Hutt Park 1 @ 2.30 Rnd 6 Sat 7 May Wests 5 Stop Out 3 Endeavour 1 @ 2.30 Cup Sat 14 May Island Bay Stop Out Wakefield @5.45 2 1 Rnd 7 Sat 21 May Lower Hutt 2 Stop Out 2 Fraser Turf @7.30 Rnd 8 Sat 28 May Stop Out 3 Napier 1 Hutt Park 1 @ 2.30 Rnd 9 Sat 4 June Olympic 2 Stop Out 1 Wakefield 2 @ 5.45 Rnd 10 Sun 12 June Wairarapa 4 Stop Out 1 Masterton Turf @ 2.30 Rnd 11 Sat 18 June Stop Out 5 Petone 1 Hutt Park 1 @ 2.30 Rnd 12 Sat 2 July PN Marist 2 Stop Out 3 Memorial (PN) @ 2.30 Rnd 13 Sat 9 July Stop Out Miramar Hutt Park 1 @ 2.30 Rnd 14 Sat 16 July Phoenix Stop Out Newtown 1 @ 2.30 Rnd 15 Sat 23 July Stop Out Wests Hutt Park 1 @ 2.30 Rnd 16 Sat 30 July Stop Out Lower Hutt Hutt Park 1 @ 2.30 Rnd 17 Sun 7 Aug Napier Stop Out Park Island @ 2.00 Rnd 18 Sat 13 Aug Stop Out Olympic Hutt Park 1 @ 2.30 2016 L Hutt Marist Miramar Napier Petone Stop Out ‘Rapa Olympic ‘Nix Wests L Hutt 9/7 1-3 13/8 4-0 2-2 4-1 1-2 23/7 0-0 PN Marist 3-3 1-7 16/7 28/5 2-3 30/7 2-3 3-5 13/8 Miramar 16/7 2-3 1-1 13/8 2-1 2-1 30/7 1-5 3-2 Napier 4-2 4-1 24/7 10/7 7/8 3-2 2-2 3-0 1-1 Petone 1-1 6/8 2-3 0-4 1-5 0-5 16/7 1-4 2-7 Stop Out 30/7 2-1 9/7 3-1 5-1 2-1 13/8 3-1 23/7 Wairarapa 2-1 1-1 7/8 2-2 24/7 4-1 3-3 2-1 0-2 Olympic 3-2 23/7 3-4 1-2 4 3-1 2-1 9/7 6/8 2-1 Phoenix 2-2 5-2 4-3 30/7 3-3 16/7 13/8 1-3 9/7 Wests 6/8 3-1 1-1 2-3 30/7 5-3 16/7 1-1 6-1 The 3rds climb back on top! Marty Dutton’s Cap 5 side took another step towards promotion Having a week off when the whole of Capital 5 was last weekend. Here is Marty’s cancelled due to supposed weather related ground “tell it straight” match report. closures (despite near perfect playing conditions) was frustrating, so the thirds were looking forward to meeting local rivals Naenae at their place. Having comprehensively beaten them 4-1 in the first round, we went into our second round game confident of gaining three more points. Although we had some rain during the week, we were greeted by a beautiful clear sunny day at Naenae Park. We were scheduled to play on Naenae 1, but were shocked to see the condition of the pitch. In the first half Naenae, playing with the slope of the pitch, appeared to deal well with the slippery conditions and unusual pitch dimensions, and played some good attacking football. We looked a bit nervous at the back, but good going forward as usual. Our first goal came after 15 minutes when ex-Naenae striker Jake Phillips slid a perfect ball through to Kieran Page who calmly slotted home past the keeper. Incidentally, no Capital Football referee was assigned to this game, and a special mention should be made to the young Naenae player who reffed admirably in the first half. We went into the half time break 1-0 up but with quite a bit of work still to do. In the second half, we had the slope Jake Phillips of the pitch with us, and we were able to dominate possession and pass the ball more freely on the very cut up surface. A refereeing substitute in the second half brought a much more one sided view to the game, meaning that we had two goals disallowed, two clear penalties not awarded and some unusual calls made against us. One particularly bad call gave Naenae a free kick just outside our box, which was struck really well and going into the bottom left hand corner of our goal. Remarkably, man of the match Andy Crisp dived to his left and put a strong hand to the ball to send it off course to safety. Despite the refereeing, we still managed to score another two goals (a second to Pagey, and the final one to Matt Henderson) which sealed victory for us.
