Around The Grounds
The Saturday Wrap
With a scoreline that rolled back the years to the 1970’s, Harbour walk away from Watson Park this afternoon with 5 – 0 win over rivals Dunedin, in what can only be discribe as deplorable conditions. With wind gusts that were hitting 90 km/h and rain and sleet added to the mix, the fact that both sides spent long periods camped on the oppostion goalline, only to be denied points, is a credit to both sides defence. This match was an arm wrestle in difficult conditions that required being direct in attack and limiting mistakes and for Harbour, Austin’s Atiga’s first half try proved the difference.
Around the grounds this afternoon in other matches in Dunedin club rugby, at Bathgate Park Southern defeated Green Island 20 to 3, while University got home 17 to 12 over Zingari Richmond. At the North Ground Taieri were victorious over Alhambra Union 37 to 0.
