Playing on possibly the smallest and most bobbly pitch in the league seemed to contribute to an all round scrappy first 25 minutes for Papamoa , but we stuck to our task of trying to pass the ball and play football , even if the pitch and the opposition were dead against it .
 
It took until the 15th minute for Reuben to sprint away from their back 4 and fire a solid shot into the bottom right hand corner , the goal seemed to give us the kick up the backside we needed as we pressed the Te Puke team into their own half for the next 20 minutes , finally getting the reward our constant attacking deserved when Stewart W slotted home from the edge of the box . The next action of the half saw the Reuben carried off after a heavy tackle from the Te Puke centre half ( leaving us without Reuben for a large part of the season , take it easy lad , get the feet up and we'll see you back when you get the all clear ! ).
 
The tackle and loss of Reuben seem to knock us of our game for a spell , but normal service was resumed when central midfield  goalscoring machine Curtis Osbourne slotted his 4th of the season from 10 yards , latching onto a free kick swung in from the left touch-line.
 
With the home team quickly running out of gas , we should have had another 6 , but settled for a Trade mark Tristan Wood left footer from 6 yards , taking his tally to 5 for the season and helping us ease to a 4-0 win on the day.
