“Calvin was unbelievable,” Farmilo said.

He was the “whole package” – tackling and distributing brilliantly, and even scoring a goal. The effort he made to score that typified his performance.

“He started the movement and kept following and following,” Andrew said.

It was a critique of his own performance there that instigated the change.

“Normally I fill that role when Ehren (Hazell) isn’t there. I felt I wasn’t doing the role well enough,” he said.

What he saw on Sunday has given him some food for thought.

“He’s (Calvin) an option when Ehren’s there, we can get more attack out of Ehren,” he said.

Kiwis struck first through Craig Unger but Workies replied with three unanswered goals before Mitch Burrows made it a one-goal game with around eight minutes to go.

Farmilo was pretty happy with the performance given they were understrength.

“I thought we defended well,” he said.

“We didn’t have too many errors at the back and our outletting was good.

“We probably didn’t dominate in the midfield like we wanted to but the strikers held the ball well and we took some good chances.”

Keeper Jason Watt also had an outstanding game.

“A few one-on-one’s he shut down were absolutely brilliant,” he said. 

A disappointed Kiwis captain-coach Josh Worpel thought the had more than than their fair share of chances to get the result but they “didn’t take our chances when they came”.

It’s been a constant theme this season.

”We had our strikers in good spots but when it came down to the shot we probably weren’t smart enough,” he said.
