Phoenix stay 5th in A-League standings

6:43 pm on 3 February 2010

The Wellington Phoenix remain in fifth in football's A-League after last night's catchup match between North Queensland and Newcastle in Townsville.

North Queensland won the match 2-1 meaning there is no change in the standings.

A win for Newcastle would have seen them jump ahead of the Phoenix.

The Phoenix have two matches remaining against second-placed Gold Coast and ninth placed Central Coast and wins in both of those matches could see them grab a home match in the play-offs.
