Tawa Bears 2- WU Salmon 3

Cup specialists Salmon defeated arch-nemesis the Bears in a rugged battle at a sticky Onepoto paddock yesterday. 2 goals to the Skipper and a scrambled finish by Dan Mitchener saw off the angry Bears.

After foxing in the League the Salmon finally find sopme form in time for the cup- Discount us at your peril is the Message to the other teams.

Something for the Salmon to use on Saturday?

Cup draw out!

Salmon have drawn a tough group:

CAPITAL 9 BLACK:

Upper Hutt Saints __ Tawa Bears __ Harcourt 2 (12.30);

Tawa AC United __ Wgtn Utd Salmon __ Onepoto 2 (2.30);

We are thrown in with the league leaders and the third place getters Saints.
However given our performance against Upper Hutt yesterday (2-2) we have nothing to fear, and we know we can match the Bears, as we have done in the past. However AC United are going to be a tough one to crack

The Race for the Silver Boot

The race for Silver Boot, i.e. second highest scorer just heated up yesterday with Dave Armstrong an unlikely contender.

Both Dave and Danny are now on 2. Craig leads the race for Gold with 10.

It is now impossible for us to finish last..we are 5 pts ahead of Stewsmum..scant consolation for a poor season really, but plenty of positives if we can:

a) Have a good Cup run
b) Retain our sqaud for 2011
