COLTS XV BEATEN
Light rain, a greasy pitch, and chill night air made life difficult for the players when the Canterbury B Rugby team beat Canterbury Colts 7-0 under lights at Denton Park Oval last evening. The B team’s pack dominated most phases of the contest for possession, and this spelt the end of the Colts’ hopes. Bemie Stewart kicked a penalty goal for the B team in the eighth minute, and the scoring was completed by a try from the left wing, Mike Gaukrodger. in the twentyseventh minute.
The locks, John Harwood and Gary Brown, and a flanker, Don Hays, were prominent in the B team’s pack, and Doug Heffernan ran well from full-back. Mike Cron and Peter Dunne showed up in the Colts’ forwards, and Brenton Emanuel, Robert Lodge and Brent Harris had good games in the backs.
