Goals aplenty

Harvey Dempster on attack against Claudelands.

John Kerkhof Park’s new number seven pitch in Cambridge came through a weekend of matches with glowing reviews and goals galore.

Cambridge Football Club’s under 23 team beat Claudelands Rovers 6-1 on the Saturday and the top women’s side followed that up on Sunday with a 7-1 victory over Thames.

Use of the new number six and seven pitches – laid in association with Waipā council over the summer – is being limited for the first 12 months while the club beds in the grass, sand and the irrigation system.

There have been no complaints about the bounce or the surface thus far by the home teams.
