Valentine Meachen celebrated his 50th match for Marist St Pats with a strong performance including scoring a try in the Premiers win over Poneke at Kilbirnie Park today. They sit one competition point clear of Tawa, HOBM and Upper Hutt at the top of the Swindale Shield table.
In the early game the Premier Reserves couldn't hold onto their half time lead playing into a gale northerly in the second half.
