Schmeling was happy enough with Marist’s three-goal win at Levin last weekend. Even though they dominated enough for more goals to have been possible, they at least kept a clean sheet, he said. This weekend, Marist will be missing the injured Jaeden Shaw and Jamie Lambe, but Josh Cremen should be back from injury. In an interesting development, the club has signed Whanganui veteran Anthony Bell, who will likely start off the bench against Thistle. An attacking forward-cum-winger, Bell will give Marist “another good option”, Schmeling said. Bell will be especially remembered locally for the afternoon he broke a leg in a collision with the Massey University goalie a couple of seasons ago.
