Arorangi footballers take on Titikaveka challenge

The Arorangi premier mens team will be travelling to Titikaveka today for their first outing in the Lotto Premier mens round cup football competition.

Titikaveka and Arorangi supporters who will flock to the Titikaveka field this afternoon to witness some football action between the two clubs and only the most biased of Arorangi and Titikaveka fans would predict a winner.

Titikaveka can point to the fact that they defeated Avatiu last weekend and on the day only one goal separated the teams, therefore Titikaveka will be confident about repeating their performance in todays game.

Player for player, the sides are evenly matched with players operating in essential areas of the field. Cameron Robertson and James Nand will be influential for Titikaveka while Paul Luiz Van Eijk will be assertive for Arorangi.

In the other Lotto Premier Mens game Matavera will take on Avatiu at the Matavera school grounds as both sides will attempt to put their first three points on the points table in the round cup competition.

The CIPS Image & Copy Centre womens competition promises much with the individual skills of a disciplined Arorangi side as they take on a young Titikaveka outfit. At the other venue at the Matavera school grounds, Matavera will play Avatiu.

The first match for today will kick off at 1:00pm sharp in the under 14 boys division and at the other venue at the Matavera school grounds between Matavera and Avatiu.
