Bay of Plenty
Bay of Plenty
Lots of local football being played. In the Eastern Bay, biggest
town Whakatane pop 15000, we have 6 senior teams. We join with
Rotorua, Western Bay and Taupo for our BOP leagues and Waikato for
the Federation League.
I used to play for Ngongotaha and A junior club called Rotorua
United-
We used to travel to Edgecumbe and Whakatane- big distances
for a game
whats the strenght of Rotorua footie these days?
Rotorua City once made the Chatam Cup final (Thrashed by Chch
club)
Salmon you might be surprised to hear that Rotorua City and Suburbs
have finally amalgamated. They're called Rotorua United and now
play the the International Stadium. Half of the Ngongy players went
to join them (as they customarily do every second season) and
United are doing quite well (4th) in the Federation League, with
Ngongy sadly 10th out of 11.
I'm sure Ngongy will bounce back though. We (edgecumbe) always
have good battles with Ngongy, but no Rotorua teams are in our div
two this season.
Check out Edgecumbe's website for more BOP news and results
etc.
Cheers
Also a Rotorua Utd senior team in the div 1 BOP league...
we're not doing to well but pushing teams close... there are good
write ups about the federation league on the forcethree.com website
each week
