Southern
United created a bit of excitement at the start of the season with a
new coach and 5 Irish imports, however it looks to be more of the
same from the perennial cellar dwellers who are still looking for
their first win of the season. The Weenix, who were aided by the
A-League team not having a game beat Auckland City 1-0 and are
looking a pretty useful team this season.
