Unfortunately for Ngongotaha, Three Kings continued to bring the hurt in the second half.
They scored another eight goals, including a fourth to Pearce and a hatrick to fellow striker Benjamin Totori.Ngongotaha manager Stephen Towerssaid his side were outclassed in every department.
"We gave away a penalty, with a clumsy tackle, in the first minute which doesn't help.
"We were up against the wall pretty much straight away.
"Allan Pearce is an old stalwart of the northern league, he is a very good and experienced player," said Towers.
Despite Pearce and Totori dominating the score sheet, Towers said it was ex-All White Cameron Howiesonwho controlled the game for Three Kings.
"He completely dominated us in midfield, it was him who set the tempo for them."
Letting in early goals meant a few of the Ngongotaha players' heads began to drop, he said.
"At halftime we knew the damage was done but we told the players to just try and get out of there with a bit of pride.
"We couldn't get near them when they had the ball, they moved the ball that quick, yet every time we had the ball they pounced and made us make mistakes.
"It could've been worse to be honest, our keeper made some good saves."
Despite it being "a bad day at the office", Towers said his side could learn from the way Three Kings played the game.
"If we could replicate some of their play, the way they move the ball quickly, that's the way we should be looking to play.
"We go to Papatoetoe next week [in the Northern Region Football League Division 2] and hopefully the boys are wounded enough to bounce back."
