Saturday 24th July :

Carterton v Greytown - Final

The club season is over and our Premiers team nearly made it - but for a few inches to the chalk - that and some tough defence.  What a game, the lead changed back and forth, tries, penalties and sin-binning - not one of ours.  I thought that when a player was sin-binned the team is to have only 14 players for 10 minutes......  

All that aside I am extremely proud of the team, at one stage they were 0-9 down and could have allowed themselves to lose the game then and there, but they didn't, they fought back and didn't take their feet off the pedal. 

We have a young team here, they have grit, mongrel and spirit and are not afraid to let loose. If we keep together next year - it'll be an even better season. 

Now we celebrate all that is good about Carterton Rugby with our Prizegiving on Friday night 30th July. Doors open at 6.30pm and the prizegiving will start at 7.00pm.  I look forward to seeing you there.
