Titikaveka celebrate win against Arorangi

The Titikaveka premier mens soccer side celebrated their 2-0 win on Saturday after an impressive performance against Arorangi in the Lotto Premier Mens round cup competition.

Early in the game, Titikaveka got their campaign off to the perfect start when they were gifted with a free kick which was taken by playmaker Cameron Robertson who without hesitation slammed Titikavekas first goal past the goal keeper.

The Titikaveka spectators erupted again when their second goal was scored to extend their lead by two goals to nil.

In the second spell of the match Arorangi came close to adding a goal on their scorecard when shots were fired towards the goal only to be denied by the goal posts much to the relief of the Titikaveka players and supporters.

As the whistle sounded to end the game, the Titikaveka field echoed with excitement as the celebration amongst the players started.

This gives Titikaveka their third win with one draw so far in the round cup competition.
