Prems put on 90, PURC are taking charge

By BEN PLUMMER

The Pakuranga United Rugby Club’s (PURC) top three sides have all recorded another weekend of wins.

The premier men were never in doubt as they came up against bottom of the table Waitakere, looking to put on a big scoreline.

And that they did, running in almost 100 points in front of a home crowd at Bell Park.

Waitakere were only able to get a penalty on the score board, making the final scoreline 97-3 in an absolute obliteration.

Winger Paula Maama took out player of the day for the premier men with an impressive showing of attack and defence in the side’s domination of their west Auckland opposition.

The premier men now sit at fifth on the ladder of 14 points after their three consecutive wins and will be looking to make it four in a row against a 12th place and winless Eden side on Saturday.

The club’s premier development side put on a strong performance against Puketapapa in the curtain raiser at Bell Park, defeating them 29-22.

They have continued their unbeaten
