Wairarapa United were always likely to find Lower Hutt City a handful in their Central League football match at Howard Booth Park in Carterton on Sunday, and their task has just become harder.
Earlier this week, Lower Hutt City scored a shock 3-1 win over competition leaders Wellington Olympic in a catch-up game and will travel over the Rimutakas full of confidence.
Not that confidence was likely to be any problem for them - the last time they played Wairarapa United they came away 5-1 victors.
"They (LHC) will be tough, very tough," Wairarapa United coach Phil Keinzley said yesterday. "They seem to enjoy playing us and that win over Olympic will have them buzzing. It's set to be a cracker."
