Programme Round 16 Lotto NRFL 2015 Programme Round 16 Lotto NRFL 2015 Welcome The national cup competitions are set to disrupt the Lotto NRFL action again this CONTENTS weekend, particularly in the premier divisions, but there is still plenty to look forward to. There are no matches in the Women’s Premier and only two in the men’s top flight but it’s nearly a full schedule further down and many of the match-ups will be vital to the Lotto NRFL 2015 3 prospects of each side. In Division One, Forrest Hill-Milford United have a great opportunity to establish a foothold at the top of the table in meeting Takapuna in a northern derby while Ellerslie Lotto NRFL Premier Preview 4 need to beat Manurewa to keep in touch with the leading duo, Forrest Hill and North Shore. The western derby between Oratia United and Te Atatu will be intriguing in Division Two Lotto NRFL Women’s Premier Preview 5 while Manukau City can’t afford to slip up against AFC Fury if they are to continue their promotion push. Lotto NRFL Division 1 Preview 6 In the programme this week, we preview these games and all others, as well as featuring photos from Phototek of two recent matches. In the spotlight were Manukau’s thrilling 3-2 win over Fencibles United in Division Two and Three Kings United’s nil-all draw with Eastern Suburbs in the Women’s Premier.

Kiwitea Street | Saturday 11 July | Kick-off: 2.45pm | Referee: Mazhar Batoor Assistant Referees: Carl Watkins, Hubert Bakx vs Melville’s season of woe continued last weekend with a 4-0 thumping at Birkenhead but they do still have a glimmer of hope in their battle to avoid the drop as they have played at least two games less than all the sides above them. They will need to start winning soon though so three points here is a must. On paper, Sports have one of the most talented squads in the league so will be disappointed with their current mid-table placing. They now have one of their most potent attacking weapons back on deck in the form of Stuart Holthusen, who returns after being part of New Zealand’s squad at the FIFA U-20 World Cup. Western Springs vs Hamilton Wanderers Seddon Fields | Saturday 11 July | Kick-off: 5pm | Referee: Nick Waldron vs Assistant Referees: Ben Norman, Rajesh Kumar The golden run of Western Springs finally came to an end in the previous round with a 4-2 loss to Eastern Suburbs, the first time Neil Emblen’s men have not tasted victory in six matches. They will be looking to make sure that defeat is not extended into a poor run but would’ve hoped for a kinder follow-up fixture than a visit by third- placed Wanderers. The away side will be smarting after being beaten 3-2 by Central and, with leading pair Eastern Suburbs and Glenfield not in league action this weekend, they have an excellent opportunity to make up ground here.

The nature of that loss will have been the throes of a title bid while Papatoetoe are trying to stave off relegation. But North Force do not travel particularly disappointing for Mt Albert as they were on the wrong end of some big scorelines earlier in the particularly well – the 5-0 win at Claudelands in mid-June was their first away victory since the opening day season but appeared to have put those days behind them with more competitive performances in recent weeks. – so Papatoetoe will take heart from that.

The closest challenges are six points The Onehunga-Mangere players will be out to restore the team’s reputation after being humbled 8-1 by title back so it seems as if the leading pair will be locked in a exciting two-way battle for glory over the coming weeks. favourites Papakura last weekend. The Mountain Men will have been disappointed to have undone much of With North Shore not in action this round, the short trip to Takapuna is a great chance for Forrest Hill to make the their good work from the preceding round, which resulted in a vital 2-1 victory over Papatoetoe.

But it will count for little if it was just a one- the league, both scoring at under a goal a game. With so little to offer going forward, it’s no wonder they find off so another pleasing performance is necessary here. New signing James Lowy made an impact on debut against themselves at the wrong end of the table and the struggles to score must be particularly frustrating for Albany as Waiuku while Mulowa Sikongo and Gurjeet Singh continue to be the goal threats. their defensive record compares favourably to sides in the upper half.
