The Most Enjoyable Nil All Draw in Recent Memory

In this day and age the punters yearn for goals and quality from their Div 8 players, it was refreshing to be a part of a quality nil all draw against North Wellington. The field was large and conditions ideal for the beautiful game, but both defences were more than up to the challenge of snuffing out the opposition attacks.

The North Wellington combination dominated the first twenty minutes as their intensive warm up routine produced dividends, but a combination of desperate defence and inaccurate shooting kept the scores level.

The visitors fought their way back finishing the second quarter strongly and with several chances could've and would've scored had it not been for some quick long striding defence. The Marist wings were dangerous in open spaces, but the Skins couldn't finish off their chances.


I don't know what was in the half time oranges, but the the second half was one sided traffic with the North Wellington side showing some silky skills and dangerous ability on attack, but were often forced to shoot from wide out. They dominated territory and possession, with the only chances for The Skins coming from the counter attack. It got desperate at times, but the goal less draw was a moral victory for the Skins. North Wellington dominated territory 62% and possession 59%.
