A full day at Silverdale Rugby Club, on June 19, featured four home games, ending with a must-win clash between its Premier team and East Coast Bays.
A win for the Prems would cement ‘the Dale’s’ position in the top four as it looks towards the play-offs.
The two were quite evenly matched, with the half time score 6-3 in Silverdale’s favour.
The game was not without its dramas, with one Bays player sin-binned and a Silverdale player injured.
Unfortunately this was nothing new – in fact Silverdale’s Prems have been plagued with injuries, having to dig deep into the reserves. This included junior administrator and experienced player/coach Mike (Willy) Wilson, aged in his 40s, who stepped up, scoring a try in the second half.
The final score was 17-10 to Silverdale. A further game against Kumeu will follow, preceding the play-offs.
