4th September
Saturday saw final games for 6 a side teams, while next Saturday, 9th
September is the final day for 8 a side teams. The great
atmosphere we have seen all season was evident as 6 a side coaches gave
out certificates, medals and trophies to their teams and sausages sold
out in record time.
In semi-final playoffs for the Milne cup, Southwell Raptors defeated
Silverdale Strikers, and Hukanui Dribblers beat an ever improving Determination
Frankton.
Southwell will play Hukanui in the final at 10.50 a.m. next Saturday.
The surprise of this season must surely have been Southcity Strikers,
who entered in the 8 a side new grade, but in cross-grades games, beat
Determination Frankton as well as several other 8 a side senior teams.

On
finals day, teams will have two 20 minute games, with the morning commencing
at 8.20 a.m. Presentations to Year 5 & 6 players selected for Waikato
representative teams will be made by Kate Mahon (Blackstick) at 9.40
a.m.
