Isaac jagged a hat-trick and younger brother Calvin a double as, like they did when they last met, Workies blew Kiwis away in the first half.

Not surprisingly, Kiwis captain-coach Josh Worpel felt defence was where it fell down for them.

"We just weren't strong enough, especially in the first half," he said.

"We just gave them too many shots at goal."

"We weren't marking tight enough."

The second half was better, from both an attacking and defensive perspective, but was "still patchy".

"We worked out we probably had more circle penetrations than they did in the second half," Worpel said.

But they couldn't turn them into goals.

Across the whole game, they probably had more short corners than Workies too but their strike rate there wasn't much better.

Worpel scored both their goals.

Antony Doolan was, as usual, one of their best.

"Ant got through a lot of work for us in the midfield," Worpel said.

Hamish McAdam and Alex Taggart also scrambled well in defence, McAdam backing up from second grade.
