The North Force women's football team are happy with their draw.

The North Force women's football team are happy with their draw.

The North Force women's team have drawn 2-2 against Hibiscus Coast in the latest round of the AFF/NFF Women's Conference.

Placed second on the ladder leading into the encounter, North Force's women's side were aiming for a win to better their chances of catching table leaders Metro FC.

"It was a tough contest today so getting the draw was quite good," North Force women's coach Carl Compaan said yesterday.

Though his side were banking on a win to improve their position on the ladder, Compaan said there was plenty of time left in the competition to make a move.

A match against Ellerslie this weekend - if it goes ahead - will provide them a fresh canvas to paint a win.

"We haven't played them yet. I think they're the darkhorses of the competition but we'll find out next week."

Meanwhile, the North Force men's side have suffered a narrow loss after going down 0-1 to Manakau City yesterday.

A gutsy effort from North Force went unheralded as they failed to convert their attempts at goal.

Prior to this match, the North Force reserve side had a cracker.

Playing Manakau City's reserve team in the curtain-raiser, the North Force reserves ground out a good game to win 2-0.

With goals to Gareth Blithe and Sam Nimmo, Manakau City never had the chance to equalise.

In other local results, the remaining quarterfinal of the Stafford Choat Cup was played between Central Brown and Bream Bay United after being postponed last weekend.
