Valley recovered from a poor start and a second-half red card to beat Athletic Marist 34-25 in the Citizens Shield today, while 80 points were chalked up in Kurow.

Athletic Marist ground out an error-riddled 32-28 win over Excelsior and Kurow ran unbeaten Old Boys close in the North Otago premier rugby games today.
