AXEL WILLIAMS FIRES PIRAE INTO TOP SPOT

Tuesday, 30 October 07, 10:33 AM

TAHITI - AS Manu Ura's involvement in the 2008 O-League has allowed AS Pirae to clinch  top spot in the Championnat Tahiti Division Federale after a crushing 5-1 victory over ten-man Central Sport at Stade Pater. Central - reduced to ten men just before half-time - trailed 1-0 at the break thanks to a goal from Tahitian international Axel Williams.

Matters grew worse for Central quickly after with 'les oranges' going further in front with strikes from Jeremy Dubois, Axel Williams, Nicolas Paigne and Terantao Takaio.

AS Dragon failed to take advantage of Tefana and JT's inactivity after a 0-0 draw with AS Temanava. Dragon have yet to record a single victory in the championship race yet sit just two points off top spot.

Dragon's technical superiority and pace failed to translate as goals and was reminiscent of last season's problems in front of goal that ultimately cost them the Division Federale title.

In the battle of the cellar-dwellers TAC boosted their hopes of finishing above the relegation zone after a 5-1 hammering of Aorai at Stade Pater.

TAC - boosted by the return of influential Tahitian international midfielder and Beach Soccer maestro, Teva Zaveroni - were simply too hot to handle for an Aorai side yet to repeat the heroics of their 1-1 draw with Tefana at Stade Pater nearly a fortnight ago.
