Mud, mud, glorious mud........not the best of conditions, but another first half that produced some very good rugby. Tries to Mikey Harmon, Lee Ewe, Jono Hurley and two to Lance Stevenson, with four conversions to Jono Hurley had Carterton well ahead at the break by 33 to 0.

The second half was very evenly contested with credit to Pioneer who got their second wind and confidence after scoring an early try. This was matched late in the game by a try to Matt Harrison which saw Carterton take maximum points from the game with the final score 38 to 5.

Congratulations to the team for winning the second round and now all focus is placed on next week's semi-final against East Coast at Carterton.
