A routine win for Ngongotaha has seen them in the hat for the draw for the second round of this season's Chatham Cup competition.
Winning both halves 2-1, the 4-2 away victory was comfortable as the Northern League Division 2 side beat Auckland Football Federation Division 2 team Buckland's Beach AFC on Saturday
Villagers coach Shane Davis said his side dominated much of the game with the two goals conceded the result of being caught out by fast breaks from the hosts.
Davis was using the game to try different combinations, bringing in two players from the reserves, trying two others in different roles to their usual positions and also introducing Andy O'Donoghue, back home on a break from studying in the US, into the defence.
"He did really well," said Davis of his temporarily available player.
