Dunedin side in charge

Dunedin City increased its lead to two points at the top of the Broadlands Southern League soccer competition after last Saturday's fifth round of matches. It beat the struggling Timaru side, Northern Hearts, 4-0, in Dunedin on Saturday to maintain its unblemished record of four wins in four matches.

Shamrock, although it has played an extra match, is in second place after its 2-2 draw with Western at Riccarton Domain. A' goal in the first half

by Peter Schuyt and another from Rob Cook gave Shamrock what should have been a winning lead. However, in the final two minutes Danny O’Neill and Dean Palmer scored for Western to salvage a point. Two goals each by Malcolm Parker and Steve Dunn gave Rangers its best win this season over Cashmere-Wanderers at Rangers Park while a Peter Hyland penalty was enough for Technical to record its first win of the season oxer New Brighton. In Dunedin. North End United and Caversham played out a scoreless draw.

Only two matches were played in the Broadlands Qualifying League on Saturday because of the Adidas Challenge Trophymatches. They resulted: Christchurch United 0. Woolston W.M.C. 0; Rangiora 6, University 2.
