Talk all week had been all about the importance of this game with the long history between Carterton and Greytown as well as the Nunn Shield and Grant Cup being up for grabs.

While the morning had been sunny and dry, a southerly swept in right on game time this meant that the result was always going to be decided in the forwards with heavy rain and a strong wind heading down the ground. Right from the start Carterton exerted pressure whenever possible and were soon leading nine nil through three Jono Hurley penalties. The forwards continued to push forward at all opportunities and before long a driving maul resulted in Tomasi Kedrabuka crossing over for the try wide out. The try was converted by Jono Hurley.  Sixteen nil at half time and turning around with the wind to our backs.

Early into the second half and Greytown converted a penalty, but this was soon matched with a further two from Jono Hurley to bring the score to twenty two to three. From an attacking move in Greytown's twenty two from Carterton mid-way through the second half, the ball was dropped and a kick hacked down field by the Greytown fullback, he then had the pace to out run the cover defence and score wide out. The try was not converted. Final score twenty two to eight.

Fourth win a row for the team and as well as valuable competition points the Nunn Shield is safe for another week as well as securing the Grant Cup off Greytown. Still more work to do by the team, but the results continue to come.
