Football: Rotorua women look to stay on top

Rotorua United Women's team player Ella Fookees (yellow) and Otumoetai's Theresa Rhein.

After three consecutive away games, Sunday will see a homecoming for Rotorua United women's team.

Rotorua take on Melville United in the WaiBOP Premier League Division 1 looking to at least retain their four point lead at the top of the ladder.

Rotorua comfortably disposed of Otumoetai 8-0 last Sunday and beat Melville 4-1 last time the two sides met.

Striker Kim Maguire netted five goals in last week's win and coach Ron Cane will be looking for the same sort of performance this weekend.

The game is being played at Neil Hunt Park, kick off 1pm.

Rotorua will still then have two more games to play - a return game against Otumoetai and a catch-up game against Northern United.
