A knee injury of the worst kind for Callum Waine
88 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Hawke's Bay United lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

5 goals for Callum Lewis
The match ball belongs to Callum Lewis, whose 5 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

No mercy from Hawke's Bay United
Waitakere United will want this one forgotten quickly: 5‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Hawke's Bay United were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Ninety minutes of Callum Lewis at his very best
Marked 10.00. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Hawke's Bay United.

Sidney Mtshweni in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hawke's Bay United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

6 goals as Hawke's Bay United and Waitakere United go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Hawke's Bay United and Waitakere United, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.
