From first kicks at Fraser Park to the Phoenix at
Sky Stadium.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We've got him covered on the All Sport Breakfast with
Rutherford and Bond Toyota and King Toyota News Talks. It'd
be eleven to eight here on the All Sport Breakfast.
It's look at National League football now heading into the
final round today and I guess overall not as many
Central League teams as we might have hoped her in
the sort of that top end playing to get into
next week's final. But let's preview the weekend's action Dale
(00:25):
Warburton as our local football analyst, Dale, good morning. Can
you just start us off, Dale, give us a run
through of that top end of the table heading into
the final round today.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yes, I've got Berkenhead and Auckland City sitting in the
top two positions at the moment. That closely behind it
are Western Springs also from Auckland, and then next City
Row are the only Central League team remaining in it
a chance of getting up into top three. And then
after that Phoenix at first, who jumped ahead of waning
Shlumbica down at sixth the Monment who are pretty disappointing
(00:58):
run of it in a couple of church teams Easter
Suburbs and then we alone on by themselves at the
bottom of the table.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, all right, we'll get into today's fixtures now then
to start with. Obviously got cash Mere Tech taking on
Birkenhead United down there in christ Church today. But Dale,
let's look at Wellington Olympic martin Lucky Park back at
home for their final round game, but of a derby,
this sone against Napeer City Rivers.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, Napier one of the fourteen still in with the
chance as I said, the only Central League one remaining
there Olympic had there's slim chances extinguished with a three
one loss to the Phoenix Reserves last week in the open,
scoring through hammersh Watson, but three unser girls condemned their
to the third loss. Their chances have been webbly for
(01:44):
a long period of time, but it will be fully
disappointed about how this part of the season has gone
for them if they missed out on our chance for
a treble. For naple City Rovers, they went from first
to fourth in the space of a week with a
loss last minute lost to Auckland City. They're now two
points off second, so they need a few results to
go their way. They probably need they need two of
these three results if you want to try to keep tracks.
(02:06):
They need Western Springs to draw or lose, Bergan had
to lose, and Auckland to draw or lose, So they
need two of those three results to go their way.
I think that's a pretty long shot considering all those teams.
The top five teams play teams in the bottom five,
So yeah, it's looking like they'll probably just miss out.
But change of things have happened.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, all right, we'll keep the calculators and an eyes
on all those live scorings. Also some also this afternoon,
I should say Wellington Phoenix Reserves make the trip up
to Weston Springs.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yes mentioned Phoenix killed off the Olympics chances last week
and with that three on one they didn't have any
any senior players in their side. That's pretty impressive results
for them. A brace through Ryan Watson and Lewis Partridge
got them the victory. They jumped ahead of Olympic into
first and could theoretically finish as high as second, although
they're not allowed to contest the finals so that they
(03:02):
wouldn't matter anyway. So they've a pretty good run of
it as part of it. They can, however, help maker
by either beating or draw in Western Springs. Springs have
jumped up to third with a comfortable for one window
the West last weekend. They sit in third. They really
need to win and then hope one of Birkenhead Auckland
drop points at some point. But yeah, still ought to
(03:23):
play for for Western Springs there.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, Okay, Auckland City see at home atta straight up
there up against Coastal Spirits tomorrow. Obviously Auckland f C
looking to knock Burkenhead off that top spot but also
secure a final spot. But dale Western Suburbs there season
will come to a close tomorrow afternoon as well two
o'clock kickoff their bottom of the ladder against second bottom
Eastern Suburbs. But obviously no placings will change down that
(03:48):
lower end of the table as a result of that game.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, but of a tough season for both sides. Really,
I know this, I can go up or down. Some
Suburbs guaranteed to finish last or with a four one
lost to our mistin Springs last week in whereas Eastern
Summers they lost to Cash Me Tick last week which
means they will finish the nights no matter what will
happen there, so I guess there's nothing really on the line.
(04:11):
You'd hope for a pre open game with lots of
goals in that one, but you'll see how that plans
out tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Indeed it well all right, Dale, appreciate your time. Well,
who knows what final we'll be talking next week, but
we will certainly chat about that and maybe have a
look back on the twenty twenty four local season as
a whole as well, so we'll chat then. Have a
great weekend, very great looking for dock yeeres Dale will
