Match Report
On Sunday afternoon Matamata hosted Orini FC, fresh off dropping their first points of the season away to Tokoroa the previous weekend.

There was only thing Matamata’s mind as they entered the game – improvement. The game started well for Matamata with their superior passing and ball skills making Orini FC play most of the first half without the ball. By halftime Matamata were 3-0 up and looking comfortable.

A highlight of the half for Matamata was the first goal by Pete Tatham for Matamata in 12 years.

The second half didn’t start too well for Matamata, with Dave Taylor being caught off his line with a smile on his face. Matamata continued to play football though and Bevan Shelley was rewarded with a deserved hatrick.

All in all a good team performance after last week’s disappointing draw. Hopefully the 6-2 win will reinstall self-belief and confidence in the team.

Goal scorers: Bevan (3), Joe, Pete T and Piki.
