Check out new BOP Time game report on the website plus weekend review from WAIBOP here: NRFL Division 2 Unlike Melville, Tauranga City United doesn’t appear to be having any promotion problems. They notched up one of their best wins in a season of good wins thanks to a 3-0 victory at Waiuku, a notoriously difficult place to visit. Jerahl Hughes was again the star, scoring twice before the break to set his side on the way before completing a well-deserved hat trick during the second half. Tauranga now sit three points clear at the top of the table after second placed Forrest Hill Milford had their game at North Force abandoned. Both sides have played 14 games and Tauranga has a far superior goal difference so Division 1 football at Links Ave is looking a nailed on certainty for 2015. Fed 1 league Fury players and management would have been delighted to find out after their match that their closest rivals, Tauranga City United, had been defeated at home by the same score line. Remarkably for Matamata Swifts, the team that defeated Tauranga, it was their fourth win on the trot, after losing their first seven games of the season. The Swifts’ goal came early courtesy of Andrew Clothier in a match that was as close as the scoreline suggests. It was Clothier’s fourth goal in six games during his university holiday break with his arrival coinciding with Matamata’s upturn in fortunes.
