Matamata Swifts completed their 2005 Waikato Premier League (WPL) campaign in record breaking style. The team racked up their best ever result, defeating the visiting Melville Old Boys side 10-0 in their most complete performance of the season.

The balmy conditions made for a pleasant afternoon in which to watch and play football and Matamata ensured they would end the league season with the loudest of bang's.

Having already wrapped up all the league silverware on offer, the Swifts had a little bit of revenge on their minds. Melville Old Boys were the only side to take points off them this season when they were held to a 2-2 draw in Hamilton. Matamata's main goal in this match was to ensure that didn't happen again, and they achieved this in the most emphatic manner possible.

Matamata raced to a three goal lead within the first twenty minutes. Each of the Swifts front three of Scott Parsonage, Adam Graham and John Massey found the net to ensure the race for the Golden Boot stayed wide open.

A flat period followed, during which the Swifts got a little lazy. They even coughed up a goal scoring opportunity but goalkeeper, Gary Darkes, made the save look easy.

Swifts captain, Andy Birchenough, extended the lead to 4-0 at the break. He smacked the ball into the top right hand corner from outside the box to ensure the victory was wrapped up before the first 45 minutes had ticked over.

During the second half a rampant Matamata side extended the victory margin to double figures. Scott Parsonage grabbed his second goal of the game and was soon joined on the score sheet by substitute Jason Collins, who hooked the ball home with his first touch after coming on to the field.

John Massey then scored his second, another screamer from outside the box, before midfielder, Juan Carlos Rodriguez, got in on the act. Rodriguez clipped in two neatly taken strikes, either side of a delightful chipped effort from Scott Parsonage. This goal from man of the match Parsonage, his third of the game, was, remarkably enough, the free-scoring Swifts' first hat-trick of the season.

Matamata even had a further goal to Jason Collins inexplicably disallowed, but by then it didn't matter. A record victory, accompanied by another clean sheet, was in the bank.

The Swifts will now focus on the end of season Caper Cup, a competition competed for by the top two WPL teams and the top two Bay of Plenty Division 1 sides. Matamata is scheduled to play the BOP Division 1 runners-up at the Domain next Saturday.
