T.T.U.’s league hopes on line
Trans Tours United will know if it has left its run for the Rothmans National League soccer title too late after its match against North Shore United in Auckland today. Following its grand 4-0 win over Mount Wellington last week-end, United has given itself an outside chance for the title.
If it wins all its remaining matches — its final one is against the current league leader, Stop Out — United will take the title.
A similar situation applies to North Shore. It is a side with more flair than most of the other national league teams put together. In Dave
Sneddon and Adrian Elrick, North Shore has two topclass footballers.
By the same token, United’s defence is the league’s best and will give little away.
Eastern Suburbs’ scoreless draw with Mount Wellington at Newmarket Park, Auckland, on Wednesday night takes them out of the bottom three in the national league and almost certainly away from fear of relegation.
With two games in hand Suburbs are ahead of New Brighton on goal average and four and seven points respectively above Dunedin City and Caversham.
