Wellington's Narrow Win

Fundamental errors, allied with some slipshod mid-field and forward tackling at times, prevented Nelson Bays from displaying their full potential in the game against Wellington B. Most of these occurred while Wellington scored its first 11 points. The team lost little in comparison with Wellington and towards the end of the game had the-better of the play and the 13 points they scored in the last 11 minutes of play is surely proof of this. For the record, Wellington B won 16-13.
