11/17 Takapuna AFC Welcomes Papatoetoe AFC Lotto NRFL Div 2 15 July 2017 Club History Sponsors Welcome/President’s Report On behalf of the Takapuna Committee welcome to Taharoto Park for round seventeen of the NRFL division two season. I would like to extend a warm welcome to the management team, players and supporters from Papatoetoe AFC. A small reminder to our home teams today—clean your changing room out after your game and look after your opposition, showing them the best of what Takapuna has to offer on and off the pitch. Finally a reminder that the club has a policy of no drinking in the changing rooms. If we are caught this could affect our bar license. Good luck over the weekend to all Takapuna teams. Please enjoy today’s game and I sincerely hope that you will experience the hospitality on offer during the day and then join with members from both clubs in the clubhouse after the game for the post match player awards and socially relax in the excellent facilities we have to offer. Wayne Hallford President 1st Team Report View from the Dugout Good afternoon and it’s great to be back on the best pitch in Auckland - Taharoto Park. Firstly I would like to welcome Papatoetoe’s players, staff, and coaching team and I hope you will enjoy our wonderful facility’s here. Last week’s 4-0 win at home was just what the doctor ordered after our defect on the Island the week before. We wanted to show to ourselves and our members that we can bounce back and do it with style, and if it wasn’t for the fantastic display by the away keeper it could have been many more. Of course what we all have to remember is, the team that ran out for Te Atatu last week on Taharoto Park bore no resemblance to the one that we scraped a win away from home earlier in the year. It’s a big shame that some players feel the need to move clubs when things aren’t going well forgetting that it’s their hard work and loyalty that is required to get them out of the hole dug by themselves. Moan over! We find ourselves still chasing the top two and one thing for sure is we will keep putting pressure on them just waiting on their shoulders for any opportunity should it arise, as we as a team and club will never walk away from a task undone. At training we have been working on the problems we encountered in our last game but more around how we can use the fantastic surface we enjoy at home. I expect a very spirited performance from our visitors Papatoetoe AFC today so we will have to match it if we want to get anything from this game. Welcome back to Tommy Miller who missed last week’s fixture through suspension and I’m looking forward to having his drive back in the team. Again thank you all for your support and it’s great to hear the comments from the balcony ant half time it puts a smile on my face. Enjoy the game. UP THE TAKA BOYS! Joe Daw Reserve Team Report Te Atatu – Home After a couple of away games it was great to be back at home this week against, Te Atatu, looking to continue our winning run of games. Early in the season away at Te Atatu was one of our most disappointing games as we initially dominated the game then somehow crumbled in the second half and ended up losing. We started the game well and moved the ball around nicely creating some half chances early on and took control of the game. Unfortunately against the run of play due to a misjudged bounce, the Te Atatu striker managed to slot one past our keeper. We accepted that this was just a bit of bad luck and continued playing our patient football and managed to dominate most of the first half and unlike the beginning of the season found ourselves able to convert chances into goals and with 20 minutes left of the half we were up 3-1. The game became a bit heated at this point with a number of altercations and with five minutes to go in the half, the referee awarded Te Atatu with a controversial penalty decision and their player slotted it calmly into the top corner finishing the half 3-2 to Takapuna. I think it’s fair to say Te Atatu were very lucky to come in at half time with two goals after causing us so few problems at the back and the score line was very flattering to them. There is always a danger in these games that the dominating team becomes frustrated ends up making silly mistakes but full credit to the lads we came out the second half and played the same solid football. We were awarded a penalty which was scored and then managed to put the final nail in the coffin with a very well taken free kick finishing the score at 5-2 to Takapuna. It’s great that we have managed to continue our unbeaten run and although I don’t feel we played as well as we did last week we did more than enough to get a result, something that we really struggled with early on in the season.
