Team sparks as Davis gives wake-up call Ngongotaha continued their domination in the Waibop Federation football league with a 10-1 flogging of Whakatane.
After dominating the game against Matamata Swifts, last week but failing to take their chances in front of goal, Ngongotaha coach Shane Davis said it was a
wake-up call for his team and asked for them to pick up their game.
Ngongotaha hosted Whakatane Town who had beaten them 5-2 when the two met earlier in the season, so a tight battle was expected at Stembridge Rd. But the Villagers did more than heed the coach's wake-up call. Playing with purpose from the outset, Ngongotaha dominated and held a 5-0 lead at the break.
Whakatane were shell-shocked, and although they managed a consolation goal, there was more to come as the home side netted five more goals to run out 10-1 winners. The final score didn't flatter Ngongotaha who could have scored more.
Golden Boot leader Josh O'Sullivan scored twice to add to his impressive tally this season but was frustrated by being denied three times, Van Ewart also netted a double and Issac Haua was also among the scorers, but they were overshadowed by Mitchell Miller who scored five.
