Blues Club Notes 1976...Roger Ramsay makes Southland

Seniors:
A much improved display saw Blues defeat Pirates in a hard fought game by 13-6.
Colin Millar showed how essential it was to tidy up loose ball effectively.  Roger Ramsay was again of tremendous value in the tight driving play.  He was ably assisted by Kevin Duke, Barry Lindsay and  Murray Leach.  
Bruce Hay overcame some early difficulties to turn in a solid second half performance.  All the backs played their part well, Phillip Stevenson saved a potential try through great tackling.  Wingers, Trevor Keelty and Evan McLellan both scored tries.
Second Blacks:
Once again proved superior in a scrappy game against Star.  Simpson kicked 8 points and Donaldson scored three tries for the second week in a row.  The forwards stuck to task and won plenty of ball with Berry, Sutherland and Robertson to the fore.
Second Blues:
After a torrid encounter with Collegiate, came out the victors, 18-3.  It was pleasing to see Jed Sharp, Dave Ross and Paul Hewitt all having good games.  There are a few blokes far too half-hearted in their approach and we all know who they are.  
Under 20's
Went down to a strong High School team by 10-8.  Blues missed S. Pokere when he left the field after scoring a good try.  The whole forward pack played well and won their share of ball. S. Christie also scored a great try.
Under 18's
Had a good game against Waikiwi, winning 20-4 with a much dpleted team.  Some of our boys on the side line are getting games because though not brillant Rugby players, they are regular trainers.  Good games by Ian Sutherland, Ross Hamill and Paul Turner.
