The Weekend Past
The Phoenix men did not play due it to being International Week, but Tim Payne & Finn Surman featured for the All Whites versus Greece in a friendly alongside Phoenix old-boys Singh, Cacace, McCowattt, Waine, Lewis, Boxall. Phoenix keeper Alex Paulsen was an unused sub. They lost 2-0.
The Phoenix women did play, losing 1-0 away at Central Coast with another dodgy penalty call going against the ‘Nix; but they’ve still had an excellent start to the season sitting in 3rd after 5 games.
