PLAYER TO WATCH
Former Navy Blues striker Joao Moreira has kept up his knack of scoring goals for whomever he plays for and this season is no exception with the former Portuguese age group international netting 10 goals this season. Another familiar face among the goals is former Hawke's Bay United and Team Wellington forward Sam Mason-Smith. Mason-Smith has smashed in 17 goals in the Central League and Chatham Cup and will be one to keep an eye on.
