After their adventures in the Chatham Cup on Anzac Day, Rotorua United are back to WaiBOP Premiership action tomorrow.

Ngongotaha however has the weekend off, with scheduled opponents Tauranga Boys College having defaulted the match.

The two local sides had contrasting fortunes in the knock out cup's preliminary round, Ngongotaha easily accounting for Old Blues 6-0 while Rotorua went down 4-0 to Taupo AFC.

Ngongotaha's goal scorers were Mitch Miller (3,) Josh O'Sullivan, Yamil Casas, Luke Barker. They have been drawn away to Metro FC in the northern region first round. Games are to be played on the weekend of May 15-16.

The two local sides are still leading the WaiBOP Premiership pack with four wins from four games each going into today's fifth round.
