Waikaka 29, Edendale 21... 1983

It was a great spectator, nail biting at its best, with a fast flowing game and one of the better ones seen at Edendale in a long time.
The lead changed hands twice and when the referee, A Hansen called half time, Edendale was ahead by a single point.
Edendale's winger, Chris Wraight, played well, scoring two tries.  Hooker, Bain McCall scored their other try, taking his team to a 14-9 lead.
Lock, Vaughan McVicar was sent off early in the second  half, his team suffered and Waikaka took the opportunity and scored three quick tries. 
Brian Dickison found the gaps and scored two tries, one of them running 50 metres through a slack defence. 
Edendale had the final say with winger, Johnnie Bloxham scoring a good try.
