Day of upsets at women’s NPC
Tuesday January 3rd 2006

The form book was thrown out the window on day two of the New Zealand 
Community Trust Women’s National Provincial Cup at Prince Edward Park, 
Papakura today.

After a day of upsets only one of the 11 sides in the tournament can boast 
a perfect record. The unpredictable results started right from the first 
round of games today when defending champions Southland thumped Hutt Valley 
16-6 but they couldn’t back it up in the next round as the Southern side 
went down against the home team Counties Manukau 2-0.

There was no predicting the results as the day continued as first Hutt 
Valley bounced back from their earlier defeat to end the unbeaten run of 
Canterbury 4-3. The team from the Valley couldn't continue their winning 
run though in their last game of the day going down to the home side 
Counties Manukau 5-2.

It was not all good news for the home side today though because after 
securing two strong wins early in the day they couldn't finish it off in 
their last game losing to Canterbury 8-1.

While the top seeds were suffering defeats the only team to keep their head 
above water and remain unbeaten was Auckland who won two games today 12-1 
over Rotorua and 6-2 against Hawkes Bay.

Round robin play in the women’s NPC has now been completed and the top two 
teams from sections A and B will move on to a playoffs series over the next 
two days. The top two sides in section A are Canterbury and Counties 
Manukau while Auckland and Hawkes Bay qualify form section B.

The remaining seven teams in the tournament will continue to compete over 
the final two days of the event for the minor placings.

DAY 2 RESULTS – Canterbury 10 Waikato 0, Southland 16 Hutt Valley 6, 
Counties Manukau 2 Southland 0, Hawkes Bay 10 Tamaki Makaurau 8, Hutt 
Valley 4 Canterbury 3, Auckland 6 Hawkes Bay 2, Wellington 9 Tamaki 
Makaurau 3, Waikato 15 Western Bay of Plenty 0, Counties Manukau 5 Hutt 
Valley 2, Wellington 13 Rotorua 2, Southland 14 Western Bay of Plenty 2, 
Canterbury 8 Counties Manukau 1, Auckland 12 Rotorua 1.
