| In Wellington,
Olympic proved too good for two-time winners
Manurewa, with Mickey Malivuk tapping in after
half an hour and Jimmy Haidakis expertly curling
a 57th minute free kick around the defensive
wall from 30 metres out.
Midway through the second half
George Barbarouses failed to cap a weaving run
from halfway with the goal it deserved, and
while the booming kick of Manurewa goalkeeper
Albon Houston was among his team’s most
threatening weapons, his handball outside the
area left his side with ten men for the final
few minutes.
Final result 2 - 0 Olympic
