Ngongotaha are back into the top four in the Waibop Federation One competition after defeating Melville.

Ngongotaha travelled to Hamilton on Saturday to play Melville United, defeating them 4-1.

Melville's first team defeated Ngongotaha 2-1 a few weeks ago in the Chatham Cup, but their Federation One side was no match for the Rotorua outfit on Saturday.

Ngongotaha scored two goals in both halves to claim the three competition points on offer. Players Zak Haua, Josh O'Sullivan, Jordan McKay and Jacob Davis all netted for the club.

Meanwhile, league leaders AFC Fury (Tauranga) defeated Hukanui Rototuna 4-2 to stay 11 points clear at the top of the table.
