Under 18s To Good For Auckland

8th October 2009 03:23PM

Waikato took a step closer by smashing Auckland A 23-7 in a Northern Region Under 18 fixture on Saturday.

 

Waikato completely out played Auckland in all facets of the game. Waikato's dominance at the lineout time was supported by silky skills by the backs.

 

Todd Doolan  had an outstanding game at first five and lead his team around the park with astute navigation.

 

Captain Damian Bardoul killed the Aucklanders at ruck time claiming numerous turnovers.

 

Waikato will now play Counties and if they win that game will be outright winners of the under 18 competition.
