As was the case last year, when Nelson Marlborough surprised pundits by finishing fourth in their debut season in the national youth league, it was striker Oscar Guardiola who was central to the side's attack. His goal was a beauty, coming after he was pushed wide by the Southern United defence and scoring with a shot from the outside of his front foot, curling the ball inside the far post.
"He's good, very good," Keinzley said of Guardiola. "You can't afford to give him space, he's got the skills to punish you if you let him run."
Nelson Marlborough skipper Coey Turipa is another star member of his team.
He made two or three fine saves against Southern United and always looked calm under pressure.
Three changes have been made to the Heartland Wairarapa squad from the one which lined up in the 4-0 loss to Team Wellington last weekend.
The Hemi brothers, Thomas and Mark, and Tavonga Mahowa have been replaced by defenders Josh McMenamin (Greytown) and James Marsh (Stop Out) and striker Michael Fraser (Western Suburbs). The replacing of Thomas Hemi by Fraser will raise a few eyebrows but both fall into the over-age category, of which two are allowed.
The change comes because Keinzley is looking for his side to have a different tactical approach this weekend and Fraser, who has shone for Wests at Central League level, is seen as a better option because of that.
"It's pretty much a case of horses for courses, that's all there is to it," Keinzley said.
"We want to play a certain way and he (Fraser) has the skills to be an important part of what we do."
