U7 Maroons vs Kaikorai White
West Taieri squared off against Kaikorai at Outram last Saturday. With the recent weather the lower field was wet and muddy underfoot, not that any of the players minded. Both teams played well in a closely contested game. West Taieri were down 3-5 at half-time, but fought back strongly in the second half with the game finishing in a 7-all draw. Player of the Day went to Connor M for some strong running and for trying to keep up with his team mates.
