High five for Cory's haul in trying conditions for Rams

Cory Jenkins from the White under-6 team grabbed the individual limelight on a mixed day for Rams teams in the Wairarapa-Bush JAB rugby competitions last Saturday.

The elusive Jenkins stamped himself as a player of the future by utilising an impressive sidestep as he ran in no fewer than five tries, and there was plenty to like about his passing skills as well.

Both the under-6 matches played by the Rams White team were classic affairs.

They lost the first 11-10 to Marist with the lead changing several times during the game, while the second against Pioneer was similarly tight, Rams White scraping home 8-7.

The Rams Black under-13 side continued their winning ways with a solid performance over Martinborough but the White team in the same grade had their hands full against a rampant Carterton.

The latter dominated the first half but to their credit, the Whites battled back in the second spell where they managed to score three tries. Carterton won 38-17.

The Rams under-11s kept Martinborough honest in going down 27-10, while in the under-10 grade, Rams Black maintained their good form with a victory over Marist.

They are unbeaten so far this season as are Rams White and these two teams will clash this coming weekend in what should be a cracker.

In the under-9 grade, Rams were beaten by a well-drilled Gladstone combination and in the under-8s, Rams Grey suffered two close losses and Rams White beat the Greys but then lost a thriller 3-2 to the unbeaten Rams Black.

Results: Under-6s: Rams White: one loss, one win.

Under-8s: Rams White: one win and one loss, Rams Black: two wins, Rams Grey: two losses.

Under-9s: Gladstone 75, Rams 15.

Under-10s: Rams Black 50, Marist 10.

Under-11s: Martinborough 27, Rams 10.
