Greytown score victory by default
Rugby
East Coast and Greytown maintained their unbeaten records when the third series of matches in the Wairarapa-Bush Rugby Union's Chris Kapene Memorial Cup were played on Saturday but in rather different circumstances.
Whereas Greytown had a day off when Puketoi defaulted to them after finding their playing resources shattered by a mix of injuries and player unavailability, East Coast had to stave off a gutsy challenge from defending Kapene Cup champions Pioneer in the feature match at Memorial Park, and did so by scoring three tries to one and winning 22-10.
The match provided an entertaining spectacle with both teams, as expected, prepared to move the ball around and, in the end, it was East Coast's better finishing which gave them the victory.
