Match Report

Sunday afternoon at the local soccer club seems to be the place to be. With the biggest crowd to date showing up to watch the 3rd team, they stood up and took control for a well deserved win.

After battling down and getting over a hard fought match last week, Matamata took control in warm conditions. Changing the team around a little seems to make some improvement to the side, with the hole in midfield being closed right up.

With the opponents looking strong through the whole game they were unlucky with that goal that never came thanks to the strong Matamata defence and tight midfield.

Goalie Dave played surperbly making some cracking one on one saves when the opponants did get a break so he'll holds his position another week.

Player of the day Sandy was aggressive with every play he makes helping the team to victory. Some interesting goals made the team a little secure at halftime and finishing in the second half was the icing on the cake.

Jason came close a couple of times hitting the woodwork and kicking his other boot, while Joe up front, when looking to finish, never disappoints. Pete and Adam at the back both had brilliant communication with Dave and played the ball out wide for the midfield to attack.

Goal Scorers: Joe 2, Scott, Jason and Chris.
