A top of the table clash between Hibiscus Coast men’s football team and East Coast Bays on June 10 set things up for a must-win match for the home side on June 24. On June 10 the visitors were two up within 27 minutes and a second goal followed in the 36th minute, scored by Nicolai Berry. The score remained 2-0 at the break and the home side were struggling against a quick and lethal East Coast Bays attack. The second half started with a flurry of goals, one for each side. First Dylan Stansfield scored for East Coast and then a minute later Adam Dickinson added one for the home team. At the half way stage in the competition, this put East Coast Bays on top and moved Hibiscus Coast back to fourth place in the standings. This result means a must-win clash at home for Hibiscus Coast on June 24 (after this paper went to print). There are only a few points between the top four sides but Hibiscus Coast needs to beat second placed Tauranga on June 24 or they will be far off the pace.
