CARTERTON SENIOR RESERVES MATCH REPORT

Carterton  v  Greytown  30 - 3

It had to come, and it did.  With winter conditions greeting us for our home game against Greytown.  Wind and rain combining with poor handling and a lack of intensity to provide, only gave us one try from Brent Ewing and two penalties from Neil Rodger, in the first half.  Giving us an 11-3 lead at the break.

The second half began as the first ended, before things settled down.  With strong running from Mana Apiata, Dwayne Mikaera and Swanni Nicho providing a platform for a try for Mana Apiata.  A fine sole try for Brad Keating gave us a comfortable but flattering 30-3 win and the retention of the Max Wilson Trophy.

With a bye next week we need to regroup in earnest as we meet the unbeaten Pioneer team on their home patch for our next game.
