"Piggsy" (MM) hits the deck with a helping hand from John Renata.

In the senior reserve match Jonathon Mason (Paikea Whalers) goes down in a tackle by Charlie Turei (Manutuke Mustangs) but support is coming in the form of Sam Hiko, Chris Brown, Tony Grant and Don Kennedy.

Some of the noisy crowd who made the most of the warm weather to watch the action at Awapuni Stadium.
