McFadyen grabs more goals

The progress of Green Island up the points table in the southern soccer league has been matched in recent weeks by the goal scoring exploits of its speedy striker, Keith McFadyen. McFadyen has hit the back of the net five times in his last four games as Green Island has sped to second equal place in the competition, three points behind the leader, Christchurch United, which has a game in hand. McFadyen now has eight goals for the season, and only Brent Berry of United and Jeff Hawker of Burndale are in fngt of him.

Berry has nine goals to his credit but Hawker remains a long way in front with three full rounds left. The tall Burndale stalwart has 14 goals and appears unlikely to be overtaken. While the goal scoring race looks clear-cut. the outcome of the competition is building to an exciting climax. United, which has led for most of the second round, leads from. Green Island, Technical and Burndale, the latter being four points behind but with a game in hand. United faces Caversham (home), Dunedin City (h) and Burndaie (away) in its finaMhree

matches with Technical meeting Rangers (h),

Dunedin City (h) and Burndale (a). Burndale still has matches against Western (a), Technical (h), United (h) and Mosgiel (h) to come, a programme that will test it to the limit in the pressure filled closing stages. Leading sscorers are: 14: Jeff Hawker (Burndale), 9: Brent Berry (Christchurch United), 8: Keith McFadyen (Green Island); 7: Steve Tasker (Technical), Shane Robinson (Green Island), John Hanson (Burndale); 6: Peter Verwey (Dunedin City), Robbie Strawford (Mosgiel), Steven Toohey (Burndals;
