Pukekohe were 3-1 winners over West Hamilton United in the preliminary round of the Chatham Cup at Railway Park on Sunday.
First half goals from Joe Morris and Jethro Conway combined with Geoff Rickard's second period effort put the Maroons through to the first round proper over the weekend of May 15-16.
Geoff Rickard earned man-of-the-match honours for his composed work in possession for the visitors.
Big thanks to the Pukekohe AFC travelling supporters who made the trip down and were rewarded with an outstanding spread put on by the West Hamilton United club!
Pukekohe's next outing is their league match against Cambridge FC on Saturday at John Kerkoff Park in Cambridge. Kickoff 2.45pm.
