The U7 Maroon's came up against a very good Pirates side last Saturday at the Oval. It was the best opposition they had faced in the last few weeks and while West Taieri competed well and were level-pegging at half-time, Pirates pulled away in the second half eventually winning 7-3. The West Taieri side displayed good sportsmanship at all times and Player of the Day went to Benjamin A for a great all-round game.

Nicholas M earned the Player of the Day for his strong running and line breaks and James H was awarded Tackler of the Day.
