They succumbed 5-0 yesterday so does that say something about the gulf in the leagues between the two football federations?
"No, because there's more to it," said Havelock North Wanderers coach Bruce Barclay after the don't-argue send off back to SH1 from Upper Hutt City in Wellington yesterday following their
Chatham Cup clash at Maidstone Park.
Barclay was mindful whatever he said about his Lotto Federation League campaigners from the Central Football region it would come across as excuses after the third-tier Capital Football side went up 2-0 on the artificial turf at halftime.
"They're a decent side and we learned some good lessons," he said but felt the turf was a factor, playing a little different from other ones they had run on to.
The villagers didn't adapt to it quick enough and Upper Hutt asserted themselves.
