THERE won't be any love lost between Wairarapa United and defending champions Miramar Rangers when they meet in Central League football fixtures during the 2012 season.
If it wasn't bad enough news for Miramar Rangers when it was announced last week that Wairarapa United had signed their gun goalkeeper Phil Imray, they would have been stunned to learn yesterday two other stars of their premier squad, Tim Schaeffers and Darren Cheriton, are heading in the same direction.
Both Schaeffers and Cheriton have impressive backgrounds.
Schaeffers earned 20 caps with the New Zealand under-20s, including their World Cup tournament campaign in Canada in 2007, and has played twice for New Zealand A.
The 23-year-old, who mostly plays as fullback, is part of the Team Wellington side who are set for semifinal action in this year's national league.
