It's been a long, long time since we tasted anything remotely resembling success against Taupo. We've been serial runners-up to Taupo's enduring championship success and, quite frankly, I'm getting a little sick of it!
They've done the double over us during the last two seasons. We'll say we've found some pretty bizarre ways to lose those games while Taupo, I'm sure, will insist they hammered us each time. Whatever anyone believes, the scores remain: 0-3, 2-4, 3-4, 1-2. Taupo has found a way to win and we've found a way to lose. And it sucks.
Taupo even beat us on goal difference in the 2006 end-of-season, cobbled together, play a few teams but not the others, top four play-offs. We managed a 1-1 draw in that competition (late goal from Lamby...), but Taupo won 5-0 at TA (did I hear you say, 'hmmm, dodgy result, that one...?') on the last day to knock us down to what would soon become the familiar silver medal spot.
The law of averages might suggest we're due a win. But the law of averages didn't help Tottenham when they failed to beat Chelsea in any game, in any competition, for the best part of fifteen years. As a Spurs fan I'm glad that run's been buried in the history books. As a Swifts fan I'm hoping the Taupo stranglehold is loosened tomorrow.
