Plains Rangers 4, Rotorua United 3
 |
 |
| Round One of the Bay Sportsmed Bowl. Rangers at home to Rotorua. Ben Howe is on the right wing. He receives support from right back Joel Ogilvy. | Jacob Heath had some good runs down the left wing. |
 |
 |
| Rotorua went 1 - 0 up, then an own goal ... | Christian Wetting makes sure the ball is over the line. Goal! Hey Christian, aren't you usually the keeper? |
 |
 |
| Wett (19) wheels away after scoring Rangers' second goal, but Rotorua equalise to make it 2 - 2 at half time. | Into the second half, Jaiden Ibbetson's tricky running saw him fouled several times. |
 |
| Wett drives a power shot towards goal. Hone Stephen gets out of the road (unlike Bazza who didn't get out of the road of Richie's strike, it didn't hurt that much... well..) |
 |
 |
| Rotorua's keeper Whetu was brave and kept his team in the game. Sanjay is thinking what he would like to do to any attackers who slide in on the keeper. | Another brave stop from Whetu, this time on Ben McPherson. |
 |
 |
| However, the Rotorua keeper wasn't quite quick enough to get the ball before Jaiden, and the foul earned him a red card. | Wett, sympathising with a fellow keeper, shakes his hand. |
 |
 |
| Referee Martin Huang writes his notes as a Rotorua defender takes over as keeper. | Wett comes in for the penalty. Goal number four for the season. Not bad for a keeper! |
 |
 |
| A Rangers corner and yes it's that man again. Wett gets his head to the ball. | Afterwards, Kylie and Shaun's litle boy Conor shows off the new Rangers hoodie. It's got his name on the hood too. |
