Wairarapa Bush wins
PA Napier Four tries to one gave Wairarapa Bush a 19-9 win over Hawke’s Bay in the national first division rugby match at McLean Park, Napier, on Saturday. Wairarapa Bush trailed 89 at half-time but displayed far more initiative and drive after the break to add 11 points for a good start to its 1984 championship campaign. It was a disappointing day for Hawke’s Bay with
the fixture a feature of the union’s week-end centennial celebrations. But the newlook Hawke’s Bay side always struggled, with Wairarapa Bush dominating breakdowns in controlling the flow of play. Scorers: Wairarapa Bush: David Rutene, Graeme Anderson, Steve Bignail, Steve Thompson, tries; Greg Gray, dropped goal. Hawke’s Bay: Peter O’Shaughnessy, try, conversion, dropped goal.
