This Saturday see's our two 12th grade premier teams go head to head 11am at Seddon Fields... here's a great chance to see two of our top youth teams in action.
The teams:
Joga Bonita
The very best team in Auckland in its age group for three years running, with at least 6 players achieving Auckland Representative status.
Convincingly won the Premier Grading round with a goal difference of +20, and favourites to win the Premiership again this year. They are unbeaten in the Championship round.
Last result; 8-0 at half time, 9;1 win at full time after changing the team around for fair play.
Tornadoes
Topped their 1st Division Grading pool, unbeaten with only 2 goals against (best in the 12th Grade age group), and a goal difference of +27.
Yet to win in Premier Grade, but never beaten by more than 3 goals, best result a 2-2 draw.
Last result - 0-3, the most goals scored against the team in two seasons.
This will be a game featuring the best players our club has in the 12th Grade. On paper should be a 10 goal game, but it is a local derby, with Joga Bonita out to prove its deserved dominance of the age group, and Tornadoes out to show their pride of playing for Western Springs. Add to that the fact that many of the boys are friends and schoolmates, and it will be a great game to watch.
It is a fabulous opportunity to see our 1st Graded and 2nd Graded 12th Grade teams, who are playing week in and week out against the best that Auckland has to offer in their age group.
