Te Awamutu’s Wai-BOP Federation Premiership soccer team got their season off to a positive start with a 1-0 victory over Taupo at the Stadium on Saturday. Coach Joe Gifford reports that his Edmonds Judd sponsored team competed well with last year’s league fifth placed team. As the game progressed Te Awamutu became more and more confident and began to create scoring chances. In the second half a shot from Jack Conner hit the post and rebounded across the face of the Taupo goal. Nathan Scott was the quickest to react and smashed the ball home into the Taupo goal net. Player of the day Cameron Mobbs was all class at centre fullback, ably assisted by defenders Hamon McKay, Richard Wilkins and Jono O’Sullivan. Next week the team have the tall task of taking on Papamoa away. After a significant rebuild of their team from last year, Papamoa overwhelmed Hamilton Wanderers 10-0 in their first game of the season. Kick-off is at 2.45pm at Gordon Spratt Reserve. The Edmonds Judd men’s reserve team lost 4-0 away to Te Aroha. Conceding goals early in the first and second halves made it difficult for the team to chase down their opponents and get any result out of the game.
