Rugby: Kaikorai too strong for Zingari

First five-eighth Matt Te Tana masterminded Kaikorai's win over Zingari-Richmond in the Tom Richmond Memorial match at Bishopscourt.

He scored one try himself and created three others as the Kaikorai backline outmanoeuvred its opposition.

Fullback Tony Ensor injected speed when he entered the line to score two tries. He ran 55m for his second try.

The Kaikorai romp was helped by some weak tackling by the Zingari backs.

The best Kaikorai forwards were lock Andy Brun in the lineout and flanker Adam Hill for his mobility and support play in the loose.

Kaikorai led 24-10 at the break and put the game out of Zingari's reach with tries by winger Bryce Morgan and centre Logan Moore in the first six minutes of the second spell, to stretch the lead to 36-10.

The best players for Zingari were hard-working flanker Chris Bell, lock Tom Rowe and centre Ben Kent for his defensive work.

Zingari was let down by its lack of discipline in the second spell and an epidemic of dropped passes.

Kaikorai 41 (Tony Ensor 2, Bryce Morgan, Logan Moore, Matt Te Tana, Blair Laughton, Mitch Clarke tries; Te Tana 3 con)
Zingari-Richmond 24 (Tom Rowe, Shota Horie, Daniel Ramsay tries; Mark Hunter 3 con, pen). Halftime: 24-10.
