The team is now off to Melbourne for the Pacific Regional Final on March 23-25.
Many congratulations to Tony and the boys - we wish them well.
Otumoetai Fed U/15's success:
Otumoetai Football Club will be WaiBOP Football’s representative at the Northern Regional Conference Finals for the U15 Manchester United Premier Cup to be held in Auckland on the weekend of 3-4 March.
Otumoetai won the right to represent WaiBOP after successfully navigating their way through a Regional Qualifying Tournament held at Porritt Stadium, Hamilton last Saturday.
Claudelands Rovers and Hamilton Wanderers were the other clubs involved in the regional qualifier, with all teams playing each other twice.
Otumoetai started the day tentatively with 1-1 draws against Wanderers and Claudelands. However, in the afternoon matches they hit their straps and comfortably defeated the two Hamilton clubs, recording a 5-1 win over Wanderers and 3-0 victory over Claudelands.
Coach Tony Chegwidden now has two weeks to put the final polish on his charges before the Northern Regional Conference Finals..... we wish them well.
