Bay Olympic 1-2 Three Kings Utd (half: 1-0)

A late Daniel Morgan double at Olympic Park on Saturday sunk leaders Bay Olympic to their second consecutive league defeat.

Craig Wylie had given Bay Olympic a 44th minute lead – an advantage which stood until Morgan struck his first with just four minutes remaining in the second half.

The game turned completely on its ear two minutes later as Morgan’s second gave his side the victory.

Bay Olympic (36) remain three points clear of East Coast Bays while Three Kings moved into joint third spot with Hamilton Wanderers on 25 points.

Jared Colligan and Luiz Del Monte were Three Kings’ most dangerous weapons on Saturday while the league leaders’ best work was done by James Pritchett and Ryan Elder.

Jason McKeown and Dan Peat – his league best ninth of the season – pulled two back in the second half but that’s all the visitors could manage as they slumped to what could turn out to be an important loss in their season.

A second half Roy Krishna double secured the points for Waitakere from their road trip to Gower Park on Saturday.
