It was a good day for rugby.

The grounds and clubrooms looked amazing,George Rodger and Garry Smith had been working in the clubrooms all week getting them ready for today. It's no meam feat and they are true champions for our club. Nic Thomson and Suzanne Zabell worked hard in the kitchen and bar for the day.  All these people help keep the club ticking over - Thank you.

The Reserves played a dead rubber as Featherston defaulted - to their credit they turned up, borrowed some of our boys and it played for 40 minutes. It was good to see that our boys are willing to go to another team just to get the game in. Grassroots at it's best.

Sadly the result for the Premiers did not go our way, but it was a good game to watch, with most of the first half with a score of 3-0. In the end the game could have gone either way with both teams tiring and making mistakes, ours were more costly. There were snippets of promise and we look forward to this very much shortened season.
