Mahurangi losing to Glenfield is an absolutely shameful result. Going to be some low hanging heads at the Bridge House tonight.

Are you actually surprised though?

[Tim]

@snowy To be honest, yes. Glenfield has defaulted several times this year, and the Mahu boys hate that team.

Fair enough. Mahu have been pretty crap though. Results wise, I haven't watched that much.

Warkworth, Omaha and Kaipara Flats (aka Mahurangi) have never performed ever since they left North Auckland (aka Northland)....

Pretty incredible that an island as large as Tokoroa , and with its outlying atolls of Putaruru and Tirau have only 1 club. Basically the entire South Waikato sub-union is now just 1 club? In the second division, at that.

[mikedogz]

@rapido Putaruru are in the Division one comp which is the bottom four that split away from the ten team Division one that started the season. S.U.R.F haven't got close to promotion for a few years.

@Rapido Back when Tokoroa was much bigger in population there were 3 clubs (Tokoroa, HSOB and Pirates) but they amalgamated into SURF in 2001.

This article is 2 years old now but gives some background into the problems they have faced in recent years.

@gunner cant wait for some grizzled old mate with 200 games under his belt and the wasteline that goes with it to tell him hes out of position or something
