Rangers will struggle
From
DAVID LEGGAT
Dennis Tindall, the former international player, would probably rate as one of the most honest soccer coaches in New Zealand. His University team, which will face Rangers in the second Rothmans League play-off match at Rangers Park on Sunday, won the northern regional competi-
tion with a strong emphasis on teamwork, and sheer determination. “Man for man, there were two better sides than us this season,” he admitted, “but as a unit our players had a desire to win like no other club I’ve been with.” Coming from a player who had stints with Mount Wellington and was 27 times
a national team player, that is a telling comment. Under the New Zealand Football Association rules, 80 per cent of University’s players must be students, or former students.
Two points on Sunday will go a long way towards returning Rangers to the national league, but if they are to be obtained it will only be after a battle.
