Sea Eagles Cherry Ripe as second half swoop downs Eels
5 hours ago | Sam Bourke
The persistent rain in Auckland over the last few days took its toll on at least one Bartercard match today. The Counties Manukau Jetz clash with the Mt Albert Lions was postponed due to extremely sodden ground conditions at Massey Park.
I really have to question why this game was not able to be transferred to another park in Auckland - the too hard basket strikes again. This game is yet to be rescheduled
At Ericsson Number 2, the Otahuhu Ellerslie joint venture grabbed a win over the Eastern Tornadoes 22/14. At their last encounter, the Tornadoes came away winning by a point so the Otahuhu Ellerslie victory today would have pleased Coach, Roger Rota.
The remaining match today, ended in a 26 all draw between the Hibiscus Coast Raiders and the Central Falcons. Basically, a pretty good result for the Falcons who were playing with virtually no crowd support.
