Mercury Bay took on Hamilton Boys and Mercury Bay 8th Graders played Te Rerenga.

Mercury Bay Mixed beat Hamilton Orange 2:0

Saturday, 3 August

Saturday was another stunning day at the Moewai Multi-sportspark in Whitianga.

Our supporters were treated to an exciting top of the table clash with Mercury Bay taking the win. Hamilton Boys Orange have led the way all season, but our team pressured them from the start and led at half time thanks to a poachers finish from Cooper Tuinier and long-range strike from player of the day Cameron Johansen.

Despite missing players through illness and injury, Hamilton rallied in the second half but Mercury Bay worked hard in defence and refused to let them in. It was a great team effort from both sides and acknowledging that Hamilton Boys had travelled a long way.

Mercury Bay 8th Graders

8th Graders played Te Rerenga at the Mercury Bay Area School. We had some very competitive games. Nico Haagh played another fantastic game this week with his amazing effort on the field and received Player of the Day. Elias Phillips was our other Player of the Day, with his field awareness and getting into the right space.
