Wet weather win for Premier 1st

PREMIER 1ST VERSUS PAKURANGA

Saturday 15th May played Pakuranga at Grey Lynn Park, after last week’s 12 man win we were hoping to field a 17 strong man squad to up our game. By kick off we had 17 players, but right on kick off we had a mini storm, rain, hail, wind and this lasted for 20 minutes. After that rain the field was flooded so look like it was going to be a low scoring game and who ever holds the ball will control the game. We started well scoring 5 tries to led 36-0 at half time. Our forwards dominated from the start again especially Nogo Watch making meters up the middle along with Kennedy which made our halves job Blake Freeman to feed our outside men Arden Mccarthy & Andrew Kake to score wide. We managed to score 5 tries in the second half but Pakuranga scored 4 tries so we let our guard down which we must work on at training. We won 64-24 which was a good score considering the weather the boys had to play in.

PLAYER OF THE DAY: Len Satele - Forwards. Blake Freeman-Backs. "ALL DAY DOGGIES"

Win for 'Dirty dozen'

Bulldogs take it down with 12
Saturday 8th May we played our 1st game of the Sharman Cup against East Coast Bays at their home grounds. We had 16 at Thursday night training also 3 players were ask to cover for seniors due to a few were late withdrawals. We managed to borrow 2 players from the Senior A Ali’is. We travelled to East Coast Bays ready to play but only had 12 players hoping that others were running late, this was not the case. Gareth opened the scoring with try in the corner we led 12-10 at half time and still with 12 men. With East Coasts Bays having 17 players they still found it hard to cross the goal line because of our 12 man compress defence which was led by Alipa Solmona (premier coach). Our forward pack played 80 minutes with Charlie Robertson, Kennedy, Josh Aulika and Stan Bourke. Our defence was sound thru out the whole game and it was a deserved win and a great win and the score was 32-22 to the mighty bulldogs. Way to go "Dirty Dozen"........."ALL DAY DOGGIES".
