Heavy Equipment Services Gisborne United also have six points going into Saturday’s game against Taradale Reserves in Taradale at 3pm but a minus-one goal difference mean they are fifth on the table.
Player-coach Josh Adams has a full crew available, apart from Jonathan Purcell, who still has work commitments. However, United are light on substitutes and a couple of injuries could have them struggling for cover. They should be too strong for Taradale, though.
HSOB Gisborne Boys’ High School face Port Hill United at the Rectory in Gisborne at 2.45pm.
Port Hill lie sixth, with a win, a draw and a loss to their name. The win was a first-up 8-3 victory over Maycenvale United, and the loss was a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Havelock North Wanderers. Maycenvale and Havelock North have both given Gisborne sides a good workout this season.
Boys’ High will need to be at the top of their form to win.
