Batty the Star

Wellington star, and All Black winger, Grant Batty was the big attraction in the rugby game between Wellington and Poverty Bay on September 10. Poverty Bay played a good first half to lead Wellington by 12 points to six at half-time. However, Wellington was clearly superior in the second half and came out the winners by 28 to 12.
