The feature of Ngaruawahia-Affco' s 3rd
divi si on Wa i ka t o m a t ch a ga i n st Waikeria
on Sunday was the first ever appearance of a
father and son in the same team, with sixteen
year old Geoff Gray playing right-half in
front of his father, player/coach Glen Gray.
Glen, who gives his age as “approaching
21 for the second time”, is living proof of the
maxim that soccer pl a yer s n ever gr ow ol d,
t h e y j u s t g r o w m o r e cunning.
By half-time, Ngaruawahia had
e s t a b l i s h e d a comfortable 5-0 lead and it
beca m e only a matt er of how many they
could add in the second half.
Although Waikeria managed t o scor e on ce,
Ngaruawahia dictated most of the play
adding a further 10 goa l s t o m a ke t h e fi n a l
score Ngaruawahia 15, Waikeria 1.
Ma i n goa l sc or er s for Ngaruawahia
were; Steve Buchanan (5), Staff McGee (4)
and Trevor McLauchlin (2), with goals also
from Ricki Duffel, Rodney Hill and Glen
Gray.
