Waikaka 15, Marist 3 - 1983

It was a newlook team for Marist on a wet cold day at Oreti Park in 1983.
Waikaka took Marist by surprise in the first few minutes by using their whole team to move the ball and sending full back, Peter Baird over for the opening try.
Half back, Murray Collins for Waikaka was very vocal in his play and got his forwards moving all day.  
John Chittock showed up the Marist defence with his cutting attack.
Half time came and Marist came out with a better attitude and the backs ran the ball a lot more with direction from halfback, Keith Gaines.
Paul Burrows at 2nd Five Eight for Marist, came close to scoring but was held up on the line.
