Plains Rangers 0 Taupo A 1
 |
 |
| Player of the day Dan Overdevest threads a pass through the Taupo midfield. Dan's strong tackling was a feature of the game. | Who's watching the ball? Kirk is distracted, but at least he is chasing back in the right direction. Mike is watching Kirk. |
 |
 |
| Ben Howe put in a good shift as right half. | Hamish Wilde battled away well up front. |
 |
 |
| There were plenty of Rangers attacks in the first half. A Taupo defender denies Jacob and Jordan, who later went off with a serious looking knee injury. | Matt Dalgity replaced Jords and did well, though the temptation to sprint using his recovering hammy was fairly tempting! |
 |
 |
| Sam McPherson had hid second game for Rangers, he is learning the arts of right full back. | Hamish continues the battle for possession. Ben McPherson is moving into space for a pass. |
 |
 |
| In the second half Ben had a number of personal battles with the Taupo defenders. He wins this one and cuts in towards goal. | The defender gives Ben a helpful shove and wins the ball this time! |
 |
 |
| Grahame Sims brnigs the ball forward from defence. | Dutchie is about to put in another tackle. You can sense it coming! Jacob moves away in anticipation. |
 |
 |
| Taupo scored from a late raid, but not from this header. What is Grahame doing??? | Sam plays the ball up the line. |
