United Lose Cup Match

After 90 minutes Nelson United and Western Suburbs, Wellington, were tied 1-all in their Gillette Chatham Cup soccer match. At the end of extra time Suburbs were ahead 3-1. So near for United who played short of four regular men. And yet so far.

Both feet are striking but whose will win? Whichever did, the ball's in for a hiding. The Nelson player, right, is John Kroon
