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.
United goalie, Eddie Wilson, leaps high to clear the ball from the area: Matching Wilson's jump is Suburbs'striker, Bruce Baker. John Kroon, who scored for United, watches anxiously from the left while other players appear immobilised by the turn of events
Tony Hawthorn swings hard off his right foot to out manoeuvre his Suburbs opponent
Both feet are striking but whose will win? Whichever did, the ball's in for a hiding. The Nelson player, right, is John Kroon
