Match Report
A game away, which hasn't happened for a while, and when the home team shows up 20 minutes after the match was supposed to start, I wonder why we bothered.

The field wasn't really the best around, really it was an unplayable mud hole which didn't help either side. Our opponents used an advantage and went a goal ahead early. A scrappy game with no let up from either side, as both teams knew there wasn't a more important game than this encounter.

Into second half we were 2-0 down but our lads kept their heads high and came back with two cracking goals but a flying finish from their striker gave Matamata its first loss of the league.

Rocky seemed to do the right thing, be in right place at right time and held our opponents out of the 18 yard box when mattered. Joe and Bevan combind well all game. I know refs try their hardest but you've gotta sort of know some rules. The out rule, for instance, and throw ins, when it happens six times in two minutes.

A deserving player of the day had to be Rocky, super effort.

Goal scorers: Joe and Bevan
