Wairarapa have picked up their first points in the regional super league netball competition, drawing 52-52 with Ulalei Hutt Valley at the Walter Nash Stadium in Wellington.
The two teams went practically goal for goal all the way although Wairarapa could claim to have had the better of the first three-quarters, holding a 15-11 lead at the end of the first, 29-25 at the end of the second and 43-40 at the end of the third.
Coach Dayle Clarkson was delighted with the intensity of the Wairarapa performance.
"Every member of the squad forced defensive errors, we treasured possession, made good judgment calls and kept our focus. Each and every player stepped up to the plate. There were no weak points no matter what combination we had out there."
