As we get down to the business end of the season it looks as if we have our Top 4, Auckland City, Canterbury United, Team Wellington & Hawke's Bay United. Although WaiBOP do have a very slim chance of making it. It's hard to explain but ever hopeful WaiBOP fan Enzo does a good job Here
Auckland
City won their 9th Super City derby game in a row
hammering Waitakere United 5-1 with Ex Waitakere player Ryan De Vries
grabbing a Hat-trick
Saturday
saw the Weenix host Hawke's Bay United, last time these teams met it
was 5-5 but that wasn't to be the case today with Hawke's Bay United
winning 2-0 with 2 goals from Sam Mason-Smith.
Sunday
had 2 games the first was Southern United v Team Wellington which was
a comfortable 3-0 win for Team Wellington. Southern United had Stu
Kelly sent of early in the 1st half.
Game of
the round had to be WaiBOP United v Canterbury United. Although the
schedulers had obviously messed up having this game kick off at 4:35
while the Phoenix's A-League game against Perth Glory kicked off at 5
– both were live on Sky!
Angus
Kilkooly opened the scoring with a stunning bicycle kick and this
wasn't even the best goal of the game!. Canterbury keeper, Coey
Turipa, banged his head on the upright while making a save and
eventually had to go off and later required 6 stitches. WaiBOP had
odviously been practising their corners and both their goals were
almost identical, the 2nd looking like they had saved a
point, but then Brook Messenger scored a screamer to give Canterbury
a 3-2 win.
Here are
the highlights
Goal of
the week – When you score a bicycle kick you'd expect to get goal
of the week but Angus Kilkooly's team mate Brook Messenger's winner
for Canterbury has to be goal of the week if not the season.

| Panhead Red IPA |
Wellington
Phoenix – Panhead Red IPA (8%) 4
Hawke's
Bay United – Giant IPA (5%) 1
The Giant
IPA comes from Giant Brewing of Havelock North, The label suggests
you drink it with family members, work colleagues, friends, recent acquaintances or by yourself which pretty much covers all bases. That
label comment is probably the most memorable thing about this beer!
The
Panhead Red IPA, comes in a cool can.
The image is of a character
they have called Johnny Octane – a freelance gunslinger trailing
corpses across the badlands
It's
definitely a beer that packs a punch lovely hoppy aroma with that
nuggety taste
WaiBOP
United Good George Pilsner (5%) 2
Canterbury
United Wigram Morning Glory Golden Ale (5%) 0
Good
George is a brewery that has been set up in an old church (that was
called St Georges) and they have been making some pretty good beer.
This Pilsner is a full bodied lager with the fruity citris zest and a
dry after taste. Not the best in their range but OK
There
are some things that just don't go together, beer & Ice Cream,
Goalscorers and Southern United, and breakfast cereal and beer.
Wigram Brewing have a pretty good range of beers but this Morning
Glory Golden Ale just does not do it for me, it claims to have 6
cereals in it and I think I detected at least cornflakes and muesli but
these shouldn't go with beer and the texture reminds me of the sort
of bad home brew that I used to make in the 1980's.
