AS Temanava have had their six match unbeaten run in all competitions ended by highflying AS Tefana in the Tahiti Division Federale. AS Temanava held Ba FC 1-1 in their opening OFC O-League clash in Group B but had lost their way in their domestic endeavours until their recent resurgence. Elsewhere, AS Manu Ura cruised past winless AS Vairao 3-0 to retain third place. AS Dragon continue to set the pace after a 3-0 win over AS Venus.
The league leaders have picked up critical wins over AS Tefana and AS Pirae in recent weeks and have not experienced defeat since the opening weeks of the season when they lost three of their opening four games. AS Dragon have a six point buffer between themselves and AS Tefana.
AS Pirae were made to sweat in their clash with another of the cellar dwellers relying on a late winner to seal a 4-3 victory over AS Tac. Just four points separate the teams from second to sixth in the championship race with AS Tamarii Faa still in the hunt despite having the bye in the last round.
In the Tahiti Division D’Excellence, AS Excelsior and AS Aorai have built a healthy seven point gap between themselves and nearest challengers AS Central Sport in the race for promotion to the top division.
