As was the case last year, another wet day greeted old timers' day meaning that the ground was soft under foot.

For the first time in a couple of weeks Carterton started the game at pace and within the first fifteen minutes were awarded a try to Joe Harwood after a good rolling maul saw the forwards crash over wide out. Two penalties to Masterton Red Star in the next fifteen minutes saw them leading six points to five. A penalty to Jono Hurley on the stroke of half time saw Carterton ahead eight points to six.

The second half again started well and a penalty from Jono Hurley extended the lead. A kick through from Jono Hurley saw the extreme pace of Charlie Brown doting down wide out at the fifty minute mark to set up a sixteen to six lead.  This lead was shorten by a penalty to Stars, but Carterton were soon  back on the attack and from a scrum twenty two metres out, Brock Price received the ball at pace and darted down the blindside to score in the corner. Twenty one to nine soon became twenty eight to nine when in a reply of his earlier try, Charlie Brown swept down on a kick and scored which was converted by Tipene Haira. Two minutes from the end Stars got their consolation try to make the final score twenty eight to fourteen.

A comprehensive win to Carterton against a team that sat at the top of the table with them.
