Havelock North Wanderers have claimed their first championship point of the Central League football season which saw two matches being played in Hawke's Bay on Sunday.
Playing at Mitre 10 Hawke's Bay Regional Sports Park, Hastings, Wanderers drew 1-all with Porirua-based Western Suburbs.

They opened the season being beaten 4-1 by Waterside-Karori, followed by a 3-0 loss hosting the Hawke's Bay local derby against Napier City Rovers, and a 5-0 defeat away to Miramar Ranges in Wellington on Friday.
But the fire is still burning for Napier City Rovers who have kept an unbeaten 2022 Central League record intact with two 2-all Easter weekend draws, both at Bluewater Stadium, Park Island, Napier.
