Another weekend done for McDonald Real Estate Stratford AFC.
Hub football had been postponed again but all other teams were on the park at various locations.
The 12th grade had a good 4-3 win away to Kaponga, an improvement on the previous 2-2 draw with the side.
The Under 15s stormed away to an early 6-nil halftime lead vs New Plymouth Boys High School (NPBHS). However they struggled at times in the second half. Final score 8-1. Player of the day was Daniel Suffolk.
The Under 18s let a 2-1 halftime lead slip to go down 4-2 to league leaders NPBHS Big Dogs.
In the first division, the Stratford side played against Kaponga. Kaponga started well with the win getting up 2-nil within the first 25 minutes.
A just before halftime penalty converted by Caleb Jackson put Stratford deservedly back in the hunt. Stratford rallied after the break scoring twice before conceding again to make it 3-all.
This 'back and forth' set up an exciting end to the game which saw Stratford score two more goals. Man of the match went to John Burroughs for a couple of crucial goals.
The Division 2 side had a bye.
The Tungsten Legal Women rounded off the weekend away to Woodleigh.
The two teams enjoy a really positive and friendly relationship, so both were looking forward to the game.
Woodleigh was the only team that could put the ball in the net though running out 4-nil winners. Player of the day went to Cacia Triggs.
