Soccer: Bay seek All Stars repeat

Ngongotaha AFC will tomorrow host this year's WaiBop Federation All Stars game between Bay of Plenty and Waikato.

Bay of Plenty will be looking to repeat last year's win with Waikato no doubt out for revenge.

Eleven of the Bay of Plenty's 16-strong squad are under 21 with two 17-year-olds and three 16-year-olds, but they will have the experience of Paul and Dave Stewart, Brendon Mitchell, Andrew Gibbs and Alan Lamb to support them.

Managed by Taupo coach Paul Drake, the team will no doubt attempt to play a controlled game with the accent on possession.

After the game, which kicks off at 2pm, a WaiBop Federation selection to play Waikato FC on October 14 will be announced and team and individual trophies will be presented.

Bay of Plenty squad: A Gibbs, B McLean, (Rotorua United), A Lamb, P Stewart, D Stewart, J Smith (Taupo), J Towers, W Maloney (Whakatane), X Pratt (Tauranga City), J Hollinshead, M Fisher (Otumoetai), J O'Donoghue, D Willemsen, H Simiona (Ngongotaha).
