6/17 Takapuna AFC Welcomes Ngongotaha AFC Lotto NRFL Div 2 27 May 2017 Club History Sponsors Welcome/President’s Report On behalf of the Takapuna Committee welcome to Taharoto Park for round eleven of the NRFL division two season. I would like to extend a warm welcome to the management team, players and supporters from Ngongotaha 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, hopefully your 2017 campaigns will have you league winners in 12 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 Wayne Hallford President 1st Team Report View from the Dugout Good afternoon and welcome back to Taharoto Park for this league game with Ngongotaha AFC Today we will be certainly expecting a very tough game against a side that are much better than the league table would suggest and at present are one of the form teams. As a squad we will be looking for a much improved score line than that of our last couple of games in the league. Although we did get a very well deserved win in the Chatham cup on the way through, I think we do set ourselves high standards and at times this can also be an enemy as fear of failure can set itself up in the camp and this can affect players young and old. One big positive though is we have got through the games in very difficult conditions with sickness and injuries plaguing us each week but this could be what we face now with the winter months ahead. With our young side, We are looking for the few experienced guys to get everyone together and pull them through. We seriously now need more consistency in the league and are determined to string a few wins together. The way the league is panning out, three quarters of the teams will feel they have a chance to get amongst the front runners, so consistency is key. We did it last year with a fantastic start just falling short at the last hurdle but I believe we are stronger in terms of squad depth and this has been boosted by the three or four new lads who will drive us forward. We have some good games coming up over the next month or two including an important Chatham Cup game at home on Monday the 5th June Queens Birthday weekend, where we will certainly be looking forward to testing ourselves against a team from the league above. The added bonus at the moment is I have a squad fit and well which gives me big selection headaches. I have to make the tough decisions to leave good players out of the squad completely. They get very frustrated which is understandable, but they just have to be patient as there are many games to play yet and they must be ready to play when called upon again. Enjoy the game and get behind the lads today as your support really does help. UP THE TAKA BOYS!
