When the whistle blew to start the second half both sides came out firing and it was a good solid fight. The Stags went on to score another good try out wide. However, Rangiuru had a few more tries in them which brought the final score to 22-25 to Rangiuru.
Nevertheless, it was a good day of footy with a few younger players stepping up into bigger shoes.
Team captain Logan Ward thanks our supporters for making the trip to Rangiuru. He says he was impressed by the boys’ efforts in the first half, “especially the forwards as they dominated the scrums. The boys are loving it and amped for the next few home games. Up the Stags.”
Coach Quinton Landman says it was a hard game from both sides and spirits were high all round after the game.
The Stags regather on June 8 to take on Eastern Districts on home ground at Moore Park, 2.45pm. On offer are raffles, hot food and beverages.
