Carterton Senior A Match Report 2 July 2011

Saturday 9th July is shaping up to be a big day for the Carterton Rugby Football Club with two home semi-finals being played. It is expected that the Carterton ground will be a complete sell out with support for the two teams.

The Senior Reserves booked themselves a home semi-final in the plate competition against Eketahuna last week by their big win against Gladstone, and this week it was the turn of the Senior A team to register a big win to see them through to the Senior A semi-finals against Martinborough.

Only one game this week with the Senior Reserves having the bye in the final round and so the Senior A game against Marist kicked off at 2.30pm. Knowing that maximum points were needed from this game to guarantee a home semi, Carterton were always on top right from the first whistle over what has become this year a lower strength Marist side. Tries came at regular intervals and by half time the bonus point for four tries was already achieved. The second half was much the same, but Marist did cross for two consolation tries to make the final score 56 - 10 to Carterton. Ten tries in all to Carterton for a team that does seem to be getting stronger each week.

Points scorers were: Dylan Higgison(2), Brock Price (2), Cory McFadzean (2), Levi Volavola, Sam Hull, Deon Field, Blair Heming, Jarrod Nyssen ( 3 conversions)

Player of the day points were awarded to:

1                     Point to Cory McFadzean

2                     Points to Dylan Higgison

3                     Points to Paddy Cassidy
