Dead Ball Charlie’s Highlights of the week

What a weekend – Marist and Gladstone held the honours of the first game under lights and on the turf.

What a crowd as well and also a decent size crowd for the Masterton Red Star game against Eketahuna on the Saturday.

Well done to Sir Brian Lochore and the naming of the grandstand.

Rumour has it the lifting down of the goal posts didn’t go so well on the first trial run – looks like the structural engineers may need a phone call. The SOS has gone out to Stu from Daytech and he has got a new plan.

Good to see Marty pick up their first win, just leaving the mighty East Coast to pull one out. Funny how the table is looking – a couple of upsets over the next few weeks and we may just have one very tight table going into the second round.

College Rugby starts on the park this weekend with Wairarapa College and Kuranui 11am.

To you all
“Our Town – Just Brilliant”
