REGIONAL LEAGUE
Shamrock’s big win Shamrock cut into the lead of Rangers and Dunedin North End with probably the outstanding victory of the Southern League soccer championship so far this season. Away to Roslyn-Wakari, notably a difficult team to beat at home, Shamrock scored an overwhelming victory, by 5-1, and is now only one point behind the leaders and with a greatly enhanced goal average. In the only other league championship match at the week-end, Technical lost, 1-2, to Queen’s Park in Invercargill, and remained in the relegation zone. Goals
