There were mixed results for Wellsford Rugby when it took on Kamo at Centennial Park on May 14.
First on the field were the reserves, who faced down Kamo to win 15-5.
Although Kamo came out of the gate looking strong and were the first to put points on the scoreboard, Wellsford held its defence and scored two tries in the second half, converting one and also scoring a penalty goal.
The win was the third in row for the reserves.
Coach Stuart Oldfield said the team dug deep and used the ball wisely.
“We’ve had a fairly consistent team over the last few weeks which is paying off, especially when it comes to building combinations,” Oldfield said.
In almost a reversal of play, the Wellsford Premier side lost to Kamo 15-6.
In the season so far, the team has had a draw and three close losses.
“We defended well but just kicked the ball away a bit too much and gave away a few too many passes. If we’re doing the basics well, it makes it much easier.
“Our losses haven’t been huge, but we just can’t seem to get over that last hurdle.”
Wellsford rugby clubhouse extended
Spectators were quick to take advantage of the new deck at the Wellsford Rugby Club after it was officially opened on May 14. The timber structure replaced a set of stairs, providing the club with an outdoor area with greater functionality. The deck cost around $45,000 but this was significantly reduced with in-kind support and sponsorship. Special thanks were extended to ITM Warkworth, RD Construction, and Rhys Bright and Sean Sweetman.
