Welcome/President’s Report

On behalf of the Takapuna Committee welcome to Taharoto Park for round eighteen of the NRFL division two season. I would like to extend a warm welcome to Mark Holt his management team, players and supporters from Papatoetoe AFC.

The season is now at a critical stage that the lads need to win the final four games to achieve what they set out to do at the beginning of the season. A disappointing few weeks has seen us drop points at home and at the two away games. So today we need to get back the winning feeling. I look forward to seeing an improved performance on the field from both Taka teams today.

With the last game of the season scheduled for Saturday 27th August away to North Force the two teams will be traveling by luxury coach. There are limited seats for our supporters ( approximately 10) if you are planning to travel and give the team your support can you please advise Wayne Hallford (Grumpy) as soon as possible.

I would like to see as many senior players, partners and club supporters attend the 2016 senior prize giving. The date is Saturday 17th September the venue is in the club lounge tickets are available at the bar at a very reasonable price of $45.00.

Finally on behalf of the club executive committee and club members our thoughts and prier’s go out to our “Takapuna Family” brotherhood who are fitting with an illness.

Good luck over the weekend to all Takapuna teams, hopefully your 2016 campaigns will have you league winners in 4 weeks’ time.

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

FROM THE DUGOUT

Good Afternoon and welcome back to Taharoto Park for this league encounter with Papatoetoe AFC.

I would like to welcome their coaches playing squad and their fans here for what I see as a very difficult fixture for us.

Last weekend saw us lose our third game of the season against an organised and hardworking Te Atatu. Reflecting on the game I would say for the first time this season I have been disappointed in our performance.

On poor surfaces we need to make sure we play in the right areas. It's difficult to say to our players go direct and play long balls because they are all lads who want to play the game the right way.

Jenny and I preach the passing game, but if we want to continue to get results in this league we need to be able to mix our playing style up to suit the conditions and recognise moments in the game and improve our game intelligence to adjust to what is in front of us.

Looking at the 90 mins on Saturday, Te Atatu had two players who caused us major problems. There weren’t many others who showed much quality on the ball, but they won the game by capitalising on our mistakes. I have no qualms about the result though we just weren’t good enough on the day.

So we have lost three games all season and not played well for 90 mins.

Every season has a patch where results seem to evade you it happens to the best of us! I think we all would have taken at the beginning of the season the fact that we are still in with a promotion spot. So yes, we are very disappointed to lose - but it was always going to happen.

Now we have to respond positively and today we will be expecting that reaction and I’m sure the lads will have a bit of hunger to get us a result.

UP THE TAKA BOYS!

Joe Daw Festival Football Match

New Zealand Defence Force Vs New Zealand Police

On Saturday 13th August the New Zealand Defence Force Women’s team will play the New Zealand Police Women’s team at Tarahoto Park. Kick off is at 1445.

The New Zealand Defence Force will host the New Zealand Police this year in contention for the rivalry trophy between the two services. NZDF won the last challenge two years ago quite convincingly and they look forward to the new revamped team NZ Police have this year.

There are a few significant milestones this year; The Royal New Zealand Navy are celebrating 75 years of service; 30 years of Women at Sea; and The NZ Police are celebrating 75 years of Women serving in the service.

In the last 10 years Takapuna has had a long history with both teams, as Players/coaches/ managers have played for the club as well as representing their work place.

The shield both teams play for was donated by two club members who have had a great deal to do with both teams. Amanda Cole has been a major driving force between the Police teams for a number of years. Amanda played a number of positions for the Takapuna Women’s first team.

Nick Rzepecky has been involved with the coaching of the NZDF Women's team for a number of years. He has played for most teams at Taka and coached the Women’s team as well.

Although competition between NZ Police Woman ands the NZDF goes back further than the first trophy game was in 2009. The idea now is to formalise the game between NZ Police Woman and NZDF Woman into a bi annual event. The Cole—Rzepecky Shield was been played for on three occasions to date:

 2009 - NZ Defence  2010 - NZ Police  2014 - NZ Defence

Good luck to both teams and a special those players from Takapuna AFC who are involved. Reserve Team Report

Coming off a frustrating loss to Fencibles the week before, we were looking to rectify a series of substandard performances and get back to our best against a very physical Te Atatu side.

Our first-half performance was one to forget. Emile "The Clown" McArthur had deliberately denied a goal scoring opportunity with what appeared to be a volleyball spike of the ball to see himself sent off and concede a penalty. 9 minutes in we were 1-0 and one man down. Never being in such a situation before, we couldn't quite figure out how to shape ourselves and very quickly forgot to go back to basics by being calm and patient on the ball. Half-time couldn't come any quicker after a diabolical first-half and we were very lucky to only be 2-0 down.

It was definitely a game of two-halves. The lads quickly went out to prove why we are top of the league and why Takapuna AFC have been a force to reckon with the entire season. Every single player on the pitch gave their everything. Fought for every ball, put their bodies on the line, showing sheer courage, determination and pride. Pulling one back we looked all the more likely to score and score again. We were unlucky to not have grabbed more goals than we did.

Graced with a last minute penalty, our composed and confident captain sent the keeper the wrong way to even the score. Although just a draw, it was something we deserved. Something we earned. By putting on a display of character and heart throughout the second half we proved Takapuna's worth.

We know again this week is another tough game against another physical team, Papatoetoe. We have the home advantage and will be looking to take every bit of that. Heading down the home straight towards the end of the season we look to go out in our last few games as we so dominated the first-half of the year.

We love you Taka, we do!
