Wayne Gibson piles on points for Edendale against Pioneer in 1990.....Southland Rugby...

Edendale had a big win over Pioneer to give it a place in the Wallis Shield final 
and also a chance to win the Ensign Cup.   Edendale won the game in 1990, 30 to 9.  It was all about the Edendale forwards dominating the game, so much so that the referee, Mike Pewhairanga ruled the scrums too dangerous and opted for free kicks instead.  In say this though Pioneer had only 1 regular front rower, which did not help matters.
Bain McCall was in devastating form and was probably disappointed that the scrums were abandoned as scrummaging is his forte.
It was a different story though in the lineout where Pioneer's Eugene O'Neill had a great tussle with Alistair Duncan.

Pioneer's Gary Fordyce (first five eight), had a good game and as did Edendale's Phillip Hewitson.  

Edendale:  Ricky Gutsell, David Cowan, Mike Cunningham, Wayne Gibson (1), (2Con) (1PG), Gavin Yates (1DG).
Pioneer:  Gary Fordyce (1), Sean Feller (1Con) (1PG).

Edendale did end up winning the Wallis Shield in 1990 by winning the Eastern-Northern rugby competition.
Another milestone was Wayne Gibson recorded his 100 points for the season.
It was the tight five that gave them a big win over Waikaka and in particular the front row of Ian Lowe, Bain McCall and Willie Collins.
Blair McVicar and Dave Cowan dominated the lineouts.
Although soundly beaten, Wayne Stark, Bruce Stark and Craig Winsloe tackled their hearts out.
